Jackson Station Farm, Michigan

Once upon a time, this was property was hunting camp and a place friends gathered where stories were made. We were lucky enough to purchase this land where we are working on building our dream, raising kids and developing a small-scale farm. We love being hosts and welcoming community, so this land and the farm is a great way to share this beautiful place we get to call home.

Enjoy an outdoor experience in beautiful Leelanau County via Agritourism at Jackson Station! Our property has 4 private sites situated among a dense pine forest on our small-scale farm. 

Our farm raises pigs, chicken, cattle, and grows seasonal produce. Farm products like fresh eggs, veggies and whole packaged chicken may be available for sale ~ Just ask! Get a tour of the farmstead, help collect eggs, learn how to feed the animals or simply enjoy the scene at your leisure. 

We're located conveniently between the two popular vacation destinations of Glen Arbor and Leland, MI - both a short scenic drive in either direction. The Leelanau Peninsula is littered with recreational opportunities including shopping, dining, hiking, biking, beaches, boating, wine tasting, fishing, and hunting.

Look for the "Welcome to Camp" sign off of our farm's driveway, you'll be welcomed into a wood-chipped central Common Area to find each site marked then tucked into the woods, giving you plenty of separation. The ground is kept clean and bedded with wood chips, while each individual site is equipped with a small bonfire ring and a clothesline.  

In the center of the private sites is the Common Area where you'll find: •A clean, high end portable toilet w/ hand sanitizer, •Garbage and Recycling bins, clean recycling only. •Bonfire ring with a cooking grate; • 2 fold out tables; •Firewood (Please make a donation based on what you use) and space for parking your vehicle. 

You may park 1 vehicle at your site's access point. If you're traveling with more than one vehicle, we ask that you please park additional vehicles next to the driveway for "overflow parking" to keep the Common Area open for mixed use. Please limit each site to 6 people and 1 recreational lodge per site (tent or other). If you're traveling in a larger group or meeting more people here, we recommend you book 2 sites next to each other (such as Site 1 & 2 or Site 2 & 3). 

A short walk down the driveway to the end of the farm fence and garden, you'll have access to a water pump for delicious drinking water, to fill containers of water or for rinsing. 

The property borders the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. You'll be just a few miles from access to beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. Relax in the sand, hunt for rocks, hike a trail, kayak or paddle-board and watch an epic sunset. 

We are just down the road from the uninhabited School Lake, known for its fishing from non-motorized boats or a quiet place to paddle. Additionally, just 2 Miles away you can access the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, a non-motorized 27 mile groomed trail that follows the scenic M-22 from our location all the way to Empire, MI. This trail is open year round to walk, run, bicycle, snowshoe or cross-country ski.

2.8 miles in the other direction from our camp, you'll find a Mountain Bikers paradise at Palmer Woods Forest Preserve, with various hiking trails and a 6 mile mountain bike trail.
