Vacation close to the seashore when you stay at our campsite in Covert/South Haven. Make memories lounging on the sandy shores, exploring downtown attractions, touring lighthouses and splashing in the ocean waves. Our campsite is also near Silver Beach County Park, named one of the top 10 beaches in the United States. Staying near Lake Michigan beaches is ideal whether you are looking for a romantic getaway for couples, a fun trip with friends or an exciting family camping experience. Relax with beautiful views overlooking orchards and vineyards in what is referred to as the Napa Valley of the Midwest. Taste old-fashioned goodness with homemade fresh pies made from Southwest Michigan fruit farms and farmer's markets, offering pick-your-own seasonal peaches, apples, raspberries and more. If you love blueberries, you will not want to miss the National Blueberry Festival in South Haven with blueberry pancake breakfasts and pie-eating contests. Other local events include Harborfest in downtown South Haven where locals gather for live music, dancing, rides, games and delicious food vendors. The annual Biketober Festival celebrates Michigan's great harvest season with bikes, fruits and wine. Our campsite offers a peaceful location to gather for family activities around the campfire and enjoy a delicious BBQ and s'mores, take part in a card game or watch the activities on the lake. Traditional tent camping provides an outdoorsy experience with stargazing and falling asleep to the sound of nature. Ready to plan your South Haven camping trip! Your adventure awaits.One beautiful acre that features a large clearing for camping and a large wooded backdrop and driveway. The location conveniently located minutes away from the nearby beaches and state parks.

The site was relatively quiet considering it was right off a highway - no complaints. There are more saplings planted than the pictures show, making for more obstacles for a vehicle, as well as one big widowmaker (dead tree) that needs to come down, given that it could fall on 80% of the entire camp site. Also, no picnic table on site despite listing such in the description; tried to message the host via text, never received a response. If you’re looking for a site to enjoy camping, I’d recommend spending a few more dollars for another site.

Nice surprise
Actually a very quiet spot and great for tenting. I had no issues and it was very quiet with only several cars going by the whole time I was there. The owner mowed it right before I got there which was nice. I think it is more of a place to camp and sleep than spend a long time at.

Ask about proximity to neighbors
Charles was great. I ended up not being able to use the site, so he worked with me to get a refund. He was very responsive and respectful, and after we exchanged messages through Hipcamp, I ended up booking the site again. It really is beautiful, secluded and VERY close to Lake Michigan. Next time I want to camp near the Lake, I'll definitely be hipcamping at Charles' spot.

We just needed a place to sleep for one night on our way to another destination. charles' place was perfect. It was easy to find. It was right off the road but the road was not a busy one so it was quiet. We parked at the back of the space so we were not visible to the neighbors. And the price was great.

Great Experience
I loved the casual yet isolated location. Charles was a great host and had a happy balance between soft check-ins and giving privacy to the location. Offered trash pick up if I wanted it as well. The location is so close to South Haven and the beaches. Kept me near all the beaches and sights within 15 minutes. Will absolutely stay here again.
