Enjoy access to a small farm that includes fainting goats, chickens, emu, rabbits, and more. Bring your pole and try your luck at some catch and release fishing.

Although we don't allow motorized ATVs, you are welcome to bring a golf cart. Most of the trails are improved enough to allow you access. Absolutely NO hunting allowed on the property.
The property is located just (5) miles off I-75 so it's also a convenient mid-trip destination for those on a longer distance excursion. In case you plan on fishing the local hotspots on Lake Huron (15 minutes away) and are trailering a boat, there is plenty of area to park your rig during your stay.
It's only a ten-minute drive to Pinconning, where you can experience Michigan's "Cheese Town" and all it has to offer. There's a grocery store, numerous cheese shops, and a variety of party stores and restaurants. For the outdoor enthusiasts, don't miss out on going to the ever-famous "Northwoods Wholesale Outlet". Also nearby is the "Saganing Eagles Landing Casino" in Standish. We have resided here for over 30 years and can assist you in many ways to get the most out of your visit.
By the way, the definition of the word "Elysium" is "Place of perfect bliss" and yes, we labeled it that long before the movie with Matt Damon was created.

Absolutely beautiful space and was large enough for any campers needs. Robert was super nice and informed us about the area and the neighbors, who are also super nice according to Robert. Robert was super hospitable, asked us if we needed power, gave us a campfire pit, and a tarp to keep the bottom of our tent clean. After all that we were left completely alone for the rest of the time and everything went super well. Absolutely would recommend this host.

We had such an amazing experience staying at this campsite! Bryan is truly one of the kindest and most accommodating hosts we’ve ever met. From the moment we booked, he was quick to respond, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The property itself is absolutely incredible — peaceful, well-kept, and the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. You can really tell how much care and pride Bryan puts into creating a welcoming experience for his guests.
What really stood out was how far above and beyond he went to make our stay special. When we ran out of firewood, he even brought us more without hesitation, which was so thoughtful and appreciated. It’s those little acts of kindness that make a trip memorable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience and truly can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a beautiful property with an outstanding host who genuinely cares about his guests, this is the place to stay. We’ve stayed before and we will absolutely be back!

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.
