Private sites
97% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
There are 5 secluded sites on 15 acres of woods and open land. Easy access to each site. Large communal campfire area with firewood available on site or very nearby. Campsites do have their own firepits if desired. A camper is set up for restroom use and there is a hose available for water. There is Disk Golf, a horseshoe pit, Yard Darts and Corn Hole available to play. Centrally located to several attractions! Manistee Lake is about 2 miles away, Manistee River is just 15 mins away, a slow meandering river. Great for a lazy day floating on a tube, kayaking and canoeing. The infamous Torch Lake and River is about 20 mins away. Equally beautiful Elk Lake along with the beaches of Lake Michigan. Traverse City and Gaylord are 35 mins away and historic Grayling is about 25 mins away. The mighty Mackinac Bridge is just 50 mins away. Visit the quaint Mackinac Island and pick up some of the famous fudge! Leetsville ORV trail head is a little over 6 miles away for ORV enthusiasts. Three golf courses within 9 miles. Cherry Street Market is 9 miles away for a large array of fresh local fruits, vegetables and flowers. Garden art and more! 13 Ski Resorts within an hr or less, mostly less. There are so many things to see and do year around here in beautiful Northern Michigan!

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Camp Chill AF lives up to its name with its serene and secluded atmosphere. Guests consistently appreciate the spacious and private sites, as well as the thoughtful hospitality provided by Jackie, the host. The campsite's proximity to nature and starry night skies are a treat for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors. While some visitors mention a lack of electricity, the overall experience remains overwhelmingly positive, with many planning to return.

    Had a really nice time at Camp Chill AF! The landscape was very nice, the air felt so clean to breathe. Jackie was very friendly. And to my surprise, very good cell reception.
