Escape to the serenity of Northern Michigan at our private, off-grid campsite, nestled in a mostly wooded area perfect for nature enthusiasts. This hidden gem offers a primitive camping experience for those seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush forest and fresh Michigan air. Our site features a spacious cleared area, ideal for pitching tents and gathering under the stars. A community firepit serves as the heart of the campsite, where guests can share stories, roast marshmallows, and soak in the warmth of the crackling flames. We love dogs, and they’re welcome here, so feel free to bring your furry friend along for the adventure! This is a primitive camping experience with no modern hookups or amenities. We highly recommend our site for experienced campers or those equipped to embrace the wilderness responsibly. To preserve the beauty of our environment, we kindly ask campers to bring a portable compostable toilet—no cat holes, please. Located just 18 minutes south of Traverse City, our campsite is perfectly situated for day trips to the area’s charming attractions. Whether you’re hitting the slopes or hiking trails at Crystal Mountain, savoring award-winning wines at a nearby local winery, or exploring the vibrant food scene and shops in Traverse City, there’s no shortage of things to do. Reconnect with nature and experience the untamed beauty of Northern Michigan. Whether you’re seeking a quiet weekend or an adventure-filled getaway, our campsite is the perfect base for making lasting memories.There are 4 sites available, with level ground.
