The campsite at SoHa Hostel offers a warm and friendly atmosphere, perfect for social campers looking to connect with others. Guests rave about the welcoming nature of the host, Nadia, and the communal campfire area where travelers share stories and meals. While the location is conveniently close to downtown South Haven and the beach, some visitors noted the noise from nearby roads as a drawback. Overall, it's an affordable option with a strong sense of community, though privacy might be limited for those in RVs or campervans.

The good: super nice people. Nice fire pit and I am sure the hostel will be amazing when it’s finished.
The bad: the property is more or less nestled in between two heavily trafficked roads (even if you just see one of them). It was extremely loud and did not get better at night. Even with earplugs inside our RV I didn’t sleep well. For that reason I wouldn’t stay again.

An unexpected decision led to the best decision I could've made. This place shows the heart and soul of an incredible person and their passion of hospitality. The host is very accommodating. They made sure everyone needs are met and goes above and beyond for their guests. The place has a vision one that is beautiful and an honor to stay at. If you're crossing through South Haven this is the place to go. A place where travelers meet others, share their journey and dreams that leave an imprint for a lifetime.

Pros: the hosts and other guests were really cool and the firepit and benches and indoor bathroom were nice
Cons: you cant tell from the pictures but its right next to a pretty busy road so didn’t feel as naturey as what we were looking for
But if youre looking for a cheap place to stay in south haven & meet some cool people this is a great option!

Site was great for car camping - just parked in the lot and slept in my car. It was great to have a nice bathroom available whenever I needed it! And the location is great, under 10min from South Haven and the beach. The host and other visitors were very kind, and there were multiple opportunities for social events - unfortunately I couldn't participate much this time because I was busy with other plans. Overall, a lot of value for such a small price!

We had an amazing experience tent camping at the SoHa Hostel! Nadia and the SoHa crew were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The grounds were peaceful and well-maintained, perfect for a relaxing night under the stars. The hostel's location is ideal—close to downtown South Haven and the beach, which made our stay even better. We loved the sense of community at SoHa and appreciated the cozy, laid-back atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable place to stay.

Everything couldn't have been more perfect! We are "alone" campers, older, and set in our ways. Since we decided at the last minute to camp Labor Day Weekend, the State & National Parks were full up. That's how I discovered HipCamp. Nadia's "ad" came up first and we decided to step out of our comfort zone and check it out - actually interact with other campers! It was MARVELOUS! Fun dinners & campfires, good music, good talks. People from all over the country, and world, sitting together, drinking, laughing, everybody feeling good and no arguments of any kind! Nadia could NOT have been kinder or more welcoming. The indoor plumbing was a BIG PLUS! Also the coffee maker, microwave, fridge, and pool & ping pong tables. And if you're still a "lone" camper, the tents were far enough from each other so if you wanted solitude, you could have that too. The best of both worlds!

I love this place and the vibes here! I was definitely skeptical as most probably are if you’re reading this, but for $15 you can’t beat it! The saying it’s too good to be true doesn’t apply with this deal. 10/10 would recommend and stay here again.

Just needed a place to crash, this was an easy transaction and it was so nice to have running water & facilities to wake up to. The camp fire area is set up cute & relaxing. If you stay here, please be mindful of others sleeping here. The guy I parked beside was in & out of his van, slamming doors, singing & talking to himself past midnight. It’s close quarters, be respectful.

We had such an amazing time. Nadia has created a super welcoming atmosphere. There's plenty of space to set up camp, the location is in easy biking distance of downtown south haven and the beach, and we ended the evening with a community meal around the fire. This is a really special spot and we will definitely be back!

I camped for a week and loved it. It's a beautiful place, they let me set my tent wherever I wanted and everyone was very nice. Very nice clean bathroom and a refrigerator and freezer for camper use. I look forward to seeing how it develops in the future. An incredible beach was nearby as well.

Nadia is a stellar host. The hostel sits on a great plot of land just over the bridge from the all the amenities of town. The communal fire space was our favorite spot to gather at night for story telling and getting to know fellow travelers. We’ll be coming back to Hostel SoHa soon!

We had a great time camping out at Hostel Soha. Such a convenient location close to town, the beach and restaurants, conveniences and a great spot to pitch a tent. A great idea to bring hostels to SW Michigan and can't wait to see where this idea goes. Nadia was super welcoming and helpful. 100 percent recommend.

Overall, a really nice experience. The RV/campervan sites are 5 parking spaces right next to each other. There's no privacy. If you can accept that, you'll love the vibe of the place. Easily accessible bathrooms, firepit/community area, and a super kind host. There are people of all ages.

We had a wonderful time camping out at the future site of the SoHa Hostel! Nadia was a great host, and we were treating to good hangs around the fire with fellow travelers. I highly recommend this stay - and can’t wait to see the hostel up and running!

Nadia was such a chill host, and she has a real passion for hospitality. She's turning the property into a hostel, complete with camping and rooms, and it's so neat to see her progress! The camping is still basic, and there are roads nearby, BUT her price is right, the lake is SO close, and South Haven was a fun town to explore. Great place for an overnight.
