Life Adventures

Beautiful place & peaceful. I’d you want a nature break, this is the spit for you.. Camp host was on site briefly, his dog Luke kept me company for most of my stay. Already planning a visit next summer when I come to the area. Few things to note: *Bring a flashlight, it’s dark when walking to the restroom. *There are bugs & Spiders everywhere, it’s nature. *Futon in cabin-s isn’t comfortable, I slept in my zero gravity chair.. *Breathe, and have fun..

Nice End of Season Camp Weekend

We had a great time here. Stephen is accommodating and friendly. Luke, the dog, is a perfect gentleman who escorted me to the restroom in the night. We noticed that Cabin M is equipped with an EV charger if that is important to you. We were end of season camping but found everything to be as expected and we plan a return visit in the spring.

Woods campsite #4 is absolutely amazing. It's close to a house, but plenty secluded, quiet and up on a small hill. Super close to the bathhouse which is rustic, but clean. Better yet within 20 minutes of being set up we were peacefully greated by Luke the pup who proceeded to be our campground guide, fire sentient, the bestest trail walk supervisor and even slept on our mat outside the tent at night.

Very nice!

The cabin was as expected. It’s in a beautiful space that makes you feel far from the noise of more suburban areas. Luke is such a sweetheart and I felt so protected knowing he was around. Every morning he was laying by my chair. I would like to comment on the restroom area, I’ve camped around and this was clean and it was nice to have some items like hand soap and shampoo. Minimal spiders lol I plan on coming here again soon!

Gorgeous Ambience

With pets ·

I loved staying here! There was a slight miscommunication about my site which was quickly resolved. There are lovely trails, a wonderful wildflower field, and a few open areas to take in the view and sun. The firewood portion supplied for $5 was a great deal and lasted me all 48hours i was present. The cabin was minimally but adequately furnished, the outside space includes plenty of seating and table options too. My dog also had a blast with the wide areas and trails to explore. I do photography and got some lovely shots of different plants, flowers, fungi, myself, my dog, etc. The weather was phenomenal during my visit so it was all around a lovely, magical retreat from the corporate life 🖤

31 ft Class C · With pets ·

This was my first Hipcamp stay. It was fantastic! I plan to stay here again. My 4 small dogs had a blast being off leash. They stayed in the area rolling in the grass and hunting chipmunks. (They never catch them). We stayed here to be close to our grandkids and watch them play football nearby. Nice fire with a barrel of firewood for $5 extra. I got a brief view one morning of the black dog everyone mentioned, but he was just passing thru. Played some Frisbee golf. Checked out the bathhouse and the cabins. This is the exact type of place I like to camp at. I have a class C that is fully self contained so I didn't need water or electricity, but they are available.

Secluded and easy to navigate - I'd recommend arriving before nightfall just for ease of check-in. Stephen was quick to respond and we enjoyed our time in the little cabin.

Had a great time in woods site 4! Had power and just a short walk to the shower/bath house. Luke, one of the dogs that roam the property, was friendly and quite protective of our site. He hung out with us for almost the entire time we were there. I would camp here again.

A place that feels like second home

What went well: Stephen’s land was peaceful, well-kept, and had plenty of space to spread out. The property felt private but still easy to access. The natural scenery really stood out — lots of open sky at night for stargazing and beautiful surroundings during the day. Stephen was also a welcoming host, quick to communicate and made sure everything went smoothly. What stood out: The quiet atmosphere, the way the land is cared for, and Luke the dog! Luke was such a sweet and friendly presence — he made the stay feel even more welcoming and homey. It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a mix of nature, privacy, and a thoughtful host (plus a lovable pup).

friendliest dog ever

Immediately as we pulled in, we were greeted by the friendliest dog ever with treats and a brush for him on the table outside of the cabin! the cabin had LOTS of spiders but they pretty much kept their distance. there was firewood we could buy on site which was really helpful considering the drive to the site is a bit difficult with there being a lot of gravel roads out there. really beautiful land, really cute dog, and lots of wildlife!!

Gorgeous slice of nature that is just spacious enough to enjoy solitude, but you still have other campers nearby to befriend if you’d like. The dog Luke was our constant companion. The facilities were not the cleanest, but considering it used to be a youth camp, I was not surprised by the concrete floor shower. Loved the trails and all the weird bugs I saw on my hikes.

Shower + Power = A RARE FIND!

12 ft travel trailer ·

It's rare to find a HipCamp with either a shower OR electric. Stephen's "Life Adventures" has that PLUS a beautiful quiet location. Add Luke the mascot black lab and wild raspberries...what's not to love? What a great use of a former summer camp! Be prepared for mosquitoes if there has been rain recently. This is my third year of HipCamping, and Steve's lovely retreat is far and away the best location I've visited thus far. Many thanks to a wonderful host!

Our new Western Michigan Camp Site

16 ft car · With pets ·

We were looking to scout out a camp site west of us instead of north to mix it up and make it easier for some to attend. Stephen Adventure Land is great. We typically rustic camp so the toilet and showers are a treat. Everything was clean, the grounds are kept up, clear of debris. We were greeted by the camp dog who was really kind and friendly, despite our dogs being less so. Next time we will explore outdoor activities in the area that would appeal to a larger group.

Beautiful, quiet setting

16 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

We spent three nights here over an extended holiday weekend and it was UNBELIEVABLY quiet. The only sounds were the critters in the woods, the wind through the trees, and an occasional far-off firework. There were others camped here at the same time, but we didn't hear them through the thick woods. We were in Woods site #4, which had a 20A electrical hookup and a water hydrant. We were promptly greeted by Luke, the camp dog, and he came by several times during our stay - what a good boy! Black raspberries were abundant throughout the property and made for some YUMMY pudgy pies later!

Peace & Quiet - A Campers Delight!

Peace, quiet, and simplicity among the black walnut trees. I stayed in the small cabin which had just what I needed. Cleverly designed, this 8 foot by 10 foot space had a mini fridge, microwave, shelf, table, and futon. The front covered porch is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun cresting over the trees at dawn or painting last light on field next door. Rain isn’t an obstacle here, it’s a reason to pull out a board game in the pavilion and share with your neighbors. Life Adventures is all about a good, clean, fun camping experience. In fact, this space is available to rent for events like family reunions and weddings. Stephen was kind and courteous. He checked in on everyone I saw. The neighbors I talked to said they stayed at the campground many times and they plan to come back. I have to say, I agree. Camp is close to small towns that are reminiscent of antique stores and ice cream shops next to lazy rivers. If you’re hoping to see more nature, the North Country Trail is very near this campground. The NCT offers some moderate hikes and you may pass through hikers heading up to the Huron-Manistee National Forest. Talk to Stephen, he is a wealth of knowledge about the area. Key Camp Cabin Points: 1. Bring sheets 2. Bring microwavable plates/bowls/storage 3. Bring reusable hand towels 4. Bring biodegradable cleaner (Dr. Bronner’s?) Leave it better than you found it. Pack it in? Pack it out. Nature is waiting for you, go find it!

It was a super affordable place to get away for a night, so we didn't expect anything fancy. Staying here is basically staying at a small campground. The cabin is a small shed made up as a little cabin. The large awnings were useful, the whole thing sits on a concrete slab. Looked like a tree fell through one of the awnings and there were materials there, probably to fix it. A large fire pit was full of ash, a broken rock climbing wall was nearby. There's a large bathroom facility with a shower, and a few camping sites nearby. The cabin is not out by itself, but amongst all this. Neighbors were nice. Luke, the camp dog, was a sweetheart. Inside the cabin, there's a tiny refrigerator and a little microwave and a couple outlets. The queen bed was on the stiffer side but very comfortable. There is no AC or heat. Once we aired the heat out of the room, it was pleasant inside. Overall, we had a good time. It's close to town, you can see the stars at night, it's quiet, and it wasn't crowded. It's quite a bargain. Met the owner briefly as he was doing some work around the camp. Pleasant and polite. We walked some of the trails, which were nice. I recommend a stay.
