Beautiful and peaceful! Such a treat to be the only camper. Nice trails that include a wooded area in addition to the bee sanctuary. Host Joe was great making sure we had what we needed and provided a map of the property so we were sure to find our way around. Highly recommend!

It was exactly as described. Beautiful and well cared for. Joe and Rhonda are as amazing as the land they look after. We’d love to come back in the future! Thank you!

We had a great stay! Beautiful grounds to walk on site, and lots of privacy. Our dog had a great time exploring, and we visited nearby Van Buren State Park for the beach, which was dog-friendly on-leash.

It was very peaceful, quiet, and exactly what I was looking for. Nice host and he had well maintained trails throughout his property, which was an added bonus.

The campsite was well maintained with a pretty view of the surrounding property. The outhouse was clean as well. Joe was very helpful showing us around. Hope to be back soon, the sunset and butterflies were beautiful.

Joe’s place was amazing! Very isolated and pretty! Joe was a great host and even let us feed his goats! Would highly recommend!

A beautiful private camping spot. Joe is very accommodating, and truly enjoys sharing his beautiful property with his guests. Fields of hay and a small orchard welcome you on the short trail to the campground. The sunsets are serene and quiet, and the secluded camping location makes for a beautiful sunrise.

Beautiful and effortless. We just needed a place to crash and sit around a campfire at night and this place excelled. Really lucked out finding the site. Joe and his wife were lovely to us.

Joe's spot never ceases to provide peace and rest. One of the nicest places I've been to hike around and see a beautiful sunset. Quiet, away from roads and buildings--extremely easy to enjoy!

We camped with a small travel trailer and we absolutely loved it! Totally private and beautiful landscapes. Nice walking paths and the compost toilet was a plus with our family. Close to many cute Lake Michigan towns that we explored during our stay. It was very quiet and the star gazing was amazing. We saw lots of deer and birds. Highly recommend Joe and his farm!!

This camping site was private, peaceful, easy to find, and just what we were looking for in a fall weekend getaway from the city!

We love Bee Sanctuary, we've gone back for 3 years now. It is so peaceful and freeing. This time we especially noticed how many stars you can see. We also stumbled on South Haven's farmer market and it was lovely.

Joe has an amazing property and the site is perfect. Quiet, big sky views and a great place to relax. Lots of birds and other small animals. Compost toilet and trash is convenient, and a perfect little fire pit. Great place to get away! Will return again.

Great campsite - felt very secluded and beautiful with tons of flowers and little pollinators and fireflies at night. Beautiful view of the sunset and stars! Perfect for our dogs to run around and the firepit was perfect for smores at night. No mosquitos. Owner was super helpful and accommodating. Would def recommend!

Awesome host and property! Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and plan on coming back. Joe was very accommodating as we got there later than expected. The site was clean and secluded with plenty of walking trails. We met and fed the goats which the kids absolutely loved! Perfect spot to be disconnected. Cell service was available, but the kids didn't have to know that ;)

Our family loved our stay on Joe’s land! The composting toilet was a nice addition and came in handy with having kids with us. Very peaceful and secluded and beautiful field of flowers to view and some nice trails around the property. We would definitely book again if we are that way!

Joe was such an amazing host, very commutative and helpful! We arrived pretty late, in the middle of a lightening storm and he let us park our van in his barn for the night, which was so kind. He also gave us a great recommendation for breakfast the next morning! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay Joe!

I loved this space, the trails around the property are perfect. We camped with our dogs and they loved having space to run. There’s a simple composting toilet, nothing fancy. But there’s a lot of privacy! I would definitely recommend this camp and hope to come back!

Wonderful experience! If you’re looking for a private, quiet place to set up your primitive camp site, this is it! Joe and his lovely wife went above and beyond to accommodate me! Truly one of the best experiences I’ve had!
