Rocky Top "Preserve"

Grandpa Tom started this farm in the 1970's. Rocky Top Farms is a fruit farm. We grow a lot of cherries, some peaches, blueberries, elderberries, raspberries. Rocky Top hosts disc golf tournaments, music festivals, weddings, and hosts on both Hipcamp and Airbnb. We make preserves, fruit butters and salsa which ship all over the world, and are locally served in many hotels and restaurants. 

The sun comes in in the morning, making everything glow.

Cherry Orchards everywhere! So pretty just before sunset.

Pretty lights at night! Feels like a treehouse!

The airstream was parked up in front of the chalet in this picture so I will have it pulled down underneath the back of the house in the backyard this summer and then you can go right in and use the garage and the bathroom in the garage

Camp 437 in the Sturgeon Valley

We book only 2 sites at a time on our 40 acre property so you can enjoy a more secluded experience in the woods.  Our property is undeveloped, so you will need to bring drinking water, but there's no need to worry about finding firewood before your arrive as we supply you with a free bundle that is waiting for you when you get here!  There are 1 1/2 miles of marked, wooded trails that will guide you to the river's edge where you can enjoy the beauty and wildlife along the West Branch of the Sturgeon River.  It will feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere, yet the convenience of the small town of Vanderbilt is just three miles away. 

We are located just three miles off of I-75.  The larger town of Gaylord is only a 15 minute drive south.  There's lots to do here in beautiful Northern Michigan!  Only a few miles from our camp you can go for a swim at Thumb Lake Park or take a bike ride along the North Central State Trail in Vanderbilt.  Drive 15 minutes north and you can canoe or kayak the main branch of the Sturgeon River in Wolverine.  There are many great hiking trails in the Pigeon River State Forest and the North Country National Scenic Trail is only 6 miles away.
This 40 acre parcel has been in our family since the 1950s.   My grandparents originally designated it as a tree farm and planted and harvested lumber from it.   As a boy scout leader, my grandfather hosted many boy scout troops here and even hosted a boy scout Jamboree in the 1970s.  Back then the property was referred to as the "Tree Farm", but after my husband John and I inherited it in 2014 we started calling it Camp 437.
Before we inherited the property we spent time camping there and building trails.   One of the trails we built was named the "Burns Trail" in honor of my grandparents.   Since we acquired the property we have added a one mile loop that circles the perimeter of the property, and a total of about 1 1/2 miles of trail.

A short walk brings you to the West Branch of the Sturgeon River where you can sit and listen to the sound of water flowing and birds singing.

Take a walk down to the river's edge to watch for wildlife.  Look for deer, bald eagles, great blue heron, cedar wax wings, hawks, frogs and much more!
