Neal was a wonderful host with excellent communication throughout. Even directed us to a local dump station. The land is beautiful and we had a great time. Pretty quiet there too. Lots of wildflowers to look at, trails in the woods to walk, and sooo many different dragonflies - which were fun to watch. Fishing in the pond was nice too. Also saw a red squirrel, deer, and various birds. Very nice to reconnect with nature, as we are from the city!

I loved this place! So quiet and serene. Neal was an excellent host, even brought a new fire pit out bc the spot I chose didn’t have one close by. I was able to get in fine with my promaster class b, but after a good rain the road was a little dicey for 2WD. Would definitely stay again if I’m in the area!

Why stay at a campground when you can enjoy this little slice of heaven. Amazing views. Sunsets. Wildlife. A very peaceful place.
Kim is an amazing host. And if you fish (which I don't), I can't imagine it would get any better. Dock your boat at your site! Use the free kayaks!

Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a rustic, secluded camping experience where I could enjoy campfires, trees and the sounds of nature with my dog.
The forest is surrounded by quiet farm land and a pond. We even saw deer in the fields at dusk.
Thank you for offering this type of camping for people who love outdoors but find traditional campgrounds too congested.

We adored this site. The view was beautiful, it was peaceful and quiet, right on the river but looking out onto Lake Huron.
At first, I wasn't crazy about being nestled between two houses, but you know what? It's more spread out than a state park campground and we camp at those often and it's RIGHT on the river. I so appreciate the hosts installing electric and everything here to share their little slice of heaven. They were so sweet to us and our son. I hope to come back again this camping season.
The awesome private deck offered great fishing and we enjoyed watching everyone going out to the big lake on their boats.
They provided chairs and firewood (actual good firewood, too, perfectly dry) which was so nice. We even woke up to a knock on the door with delicious homemade blueberry muffins.

What a great deal! Robert was supremely conscientious, meeting us the first night for a very late check in, and setting us up with the solo stove. When it snowed he promptly kept the way out well cleared.
Spot was quiet and calm, in a well treed nook towards the back of the property. For a traveler there’s not much better. I felt safe and that my needs were considered. A very pleasant experience. I’m sure I’ll be back next time I’m in town!

We had the best time just sitting and watching the sunset on the dock overlooking the river and Saginaw Bay.

What a view! We spent so much time watching the Terns diving into the river for fish, herons flew directly over the site, tons of swallows... and the sunsets - WOW! Great spot for fishing (we didn't catch anything but I think that's user error and nothing to do with the location. Haha). This was a great base camp for relaxing and checking out local sites - we recommend looking up the historic Octagon Barn if you like agricultural history, and Tri City Brewing for good beer. Bay Shore Bar and Grill, 5 minutes from camp, is also great for when you don't feel like cooking!
One word of warning - we have a 25 ft travel trailer (with hitch and bumper it's closer to 30) and a Ford f-250. We drove straight down to the end of the road and thought we could back in from there. Getting backed in that way was TOUGH. A "fifty point turn" if you will. Thankfully, Kim and her husband were home and super helpful, letting us drive through their yard to maneuver better. Pulling out was no problem. In hindsight, we would have backed down the road and backed into the site that way. Sometime to consider if your set up is our size or bigger.
As hosts, they were so kind! A bundle of starter fire wood, and kept in contact during the stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come back if we're over this way again!
