The 10 acre property was purchased by their grandparents in the 70's as vacant land where they designed and built their dream home and pond on the front two acres. While you'll drive through it to access the back 8 acres, the front two acres are currently leased to a long term tenant who isn't to be disturbed.Each year we're improving the property and adding amenities. We currently have 4 individual van or tent camping sites and a larger community site that could accommodate up to 3 small RV's, vans or up to 22' trailers. We're in the process of building a 200 sqft structure to be the "lounge" common area hangout next to the community fire pit. Most vehicles with normal ground clearance should be able to access without issue. Extended heavy rain has created mud in the past at the entrance where 4x4 could be necessary to get in and out after a storm. Drivable roads and camp areas on back 8 acres were bushes cleared about a year ago. While its mostly grass now, there are still short, sticks/roots sticking out in some areas where they haven't been cleared or decomposed yet but still comfortable to drive or walk.

Featuring a half-mile stretch of frontage on the St. Clair River, this 1,500-acre park just 50 miles from Detroit offers a front-row seat for those with an interest in barges, boats, and freighters from around the world. Meanwhile, active endeavors can be found on the park’s three main hiking trails, which wind through the native lakeplain prairie and oak savanna habitats.

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit and dress accordingly, as conditions can change rapidly.
  • Be mindful of park wildlife; observe from a distance and do not feed the animals.
