Dancing Meadows Homestead

5 sites ¡ RVs, Tents40 acres ¡ Marine City, MI
Dancing Meadows Homestead continues a long farming tradition that has been with this land since the early 1800's. The homestead originally settled in the 1830's has been in continuous farming operation since that time. We purchased the farm from the family in 2015 and have continued to operate it as a homestead. Including managing the forest as well as the farmable land. There are so many wonderful finds from the insects to the star gazing all available on this wonderful piece of land. Join us as we explore and appreciate all that nature has to offer. Learn more about this land: Beautiful secluded area under the 17 foot circumference oaks and maple stands. Learn the history of the great rock in the woods along with the history of the homestead. Organic practices on the farm have brought back butterflies, dragonflies, birds, fox, deer and many other wonderful creatures. The homestead is a working farm with produce, chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, ducks, goats and pigs watch all the farm activity from your campsite. The camping area is large enough for several tents while being secluded from life on the farm. Wonderful area to explore the 22 acres of woods or come visit the working 18 acres of organic farm land. Looking for both the quiet and some fun, we are located approximately two miles from the St. Clair river offering great restaurants, beaches, and shopping.

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.
