Peace and quiet, deer roaming in the fields, nice solar setup for power.

The hayfield had fresh bales dotting the expanse for many acres. The Deer and Sandhills Cranes did make their presence be known.
The trees lightly brushed our class C on the last 1/4 mile driving to the campsite. The potholes and tree root bumps are worth it.

Jake's property was perfect for our stay. The site was well equipped and very thoughtfully laid out. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back!

I enjoyed the camp site! Very private, clean restroom facility and an added bonus was the solar panels on top of the well supplied wood bin. I charged my power source while I was there. There was also a lighter, and lighter fluid to help start fires in the fire pit! Only one drawback were the bugs! They were everywhere so I only stayed one night and half day. I wasn't able to enjoy the beautiful campsite fully because of them. I will stay there again at a different time of year when it isn't so buggy. Thank you such a lovely, quiet and very private place. I very much recommend this site.

Very well taken care of, beautiful and private location, and nice amenities (firewood, outhouse, and picnic table). This was my second time staying here and it was great.

A gorgeous single site on acres of land. Neighbors nearby but only heard an occasional dog bark and cow moo. Saw deer and sandhill cranes. Composting outhouse was extremely clean. Plenty of firewood. Did not use the solar power but awesome to have if you need power. Nice fire ring with grill for cooking.
Would absolutely book again!

We went for the stars and they did not disappoint. The whole experience was magical. We enjoyed the stars at night and woke listening to geese and sandhill cranes. Jake’s attention to detail really stands out. The super clean outhouse, solar charger, downloadable library and fire pit made a very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful campsite!
The outhouse is very nice, and it was awesome to have the solar power to charge our phones.
The night sky view was incredible!

Nice little quiet spot to spend a day or two at, Jake is a fantastic guy and keeps the place well kept together. Cell service is a little spotty, but if you have starlink, Etc you’ll be set!

Well maintained property. Our family and dogs enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be booking with Jake again.

The spot is quiet, far enough away from residential homes, and there’s no other campers. Convenient compostable toilet in outhouse. Easy enough to use that our kids ages 4-10 were fine. Our smallest one needed help with making sure things fell in the correct hole in the toilet and the older ones needed help with the door which was stiff. Pleasant experience overall. Beautiful mornings and sunsets over the meadow. We brought an extension cord and successfully powered a slow cooker with the solar panel outlet on a cloudy rainy day. Bugs were abundant but manageable. Picnic table was in good condition as was the fire pit. There were a couple of deeper depressions in the ground that were filled with bricks or something that created hazards and one was on the way from the fire pit to the outhouse. We made sure to notify all in our camp of the hazard so thankfully no one stepped in accidentally. Definitely on our list to camp again.

Very cool spot. Wonderful price for a site with a toilet, electricity, and firewood. The mosquitoes were pretty bad, but that comes with being right next to a lake. Thank you Jake!

Beautiful campsite with pretty views. It was very convenient having wood available at the campsite and the compositing toilet was a bonus. Nice firepit with grate. We saw deer everyday in the meadow and lots of rabbits around. Lots of fun for the kids and there is a small gas station for necessities a few minutes up the road.

This spot was awesome. We were just passing through for a night on our way to the UP. We were able to top off our batteries with the provided electrical which was awesome. And the outhouse was clean and tidy, always a bonus.
If we had more time to stay, we would have.

Beautiful large spot. The sunset was gorgeous. The solar panel really pumps out some power! The dogs enjoyed watching the bunnies. The bathroom is impeccably clean. The wood supply is fantastic. Fire pit is positioned for a perfect view. The dirt road has a few potholes so drive carefully.

Jake has created a very special campsite. Having an outlet was invaluable as I don't have a car charger, and firewood was beyond plentiful. The land itself is beautiful and the sunset was stunning. I can easily say it's in my top 3 hipcamp sites I've ever visited and it's definitely on my list for a return trip! I recommend checking out Wildwood Cafe in Indian River for some delicious coffee as well.

Great campsite in a lovely area. Felt very private and I loved how it had a table and the bathroom was super clean. Also being able to charge things with the solar was a bonus!

Jake’s land was beautiful, easy to access, and private. The provided wood and lighters was lovely, as was it to have some electricity. We only stayed for a night as this was just a stop on our road trip but could have easily enjoyed the property for much longer. It was super buggy compared to other sites we stayed in with flies and mosquitos but we had fortunately anticipated it considering all of the water around—definitely bring repellent and a bug net. BEAUTIFUL stars.

Tent camping was excellent. Would definitely stay again. Nice area was able to let my German Shepard run around off leash. Good to bring stuff to combat flies and mosquitos.

Such an amazing piece of property that the host graciously allows campers to utilize. Private, even though there are houses within sight, can't hear them and you are pretty hidden behind a tree line. The composting outhouse was a definite plus for a family of 4. The solar power system was great. Kept camper lights on, used our coffee maker instead of French press, and never had a low battery alarm in the camper. Cooking grate for the fire pit is big enough to cook anything you would bring. The amount of firewood supplied far surpassed what we expected and was very generous. Extra touches that were much appreciated: extra lighters, kindling, axe, smore skewer, and quality toilet paper. Saw sandhill cranes,multiple deer, bluejays, and a satellite train. Night skies were beyond incredible for star gazing. Only 20 min I to Cheboygan and 35-40 to Mackinaw City. We would definitely love to stay again. Such a beautiful and relaxing stay

Secluded and clean campsite - bathroom is great and clean - follow host’s clear instructions for using the composting toilet. Easy to get in and out - ample firewood. Great picnic table and firepit. Enjoyed watching the stars. Saw a few deer. Dogs loved running around off leash. Only 30 mins from Mackinac City - great day trip during our second day camping. Host was responsive and communicated well.

This is one of the best HipCamp experiences I’ve had. Easy to get to. Lots of space for a dog to run. Firewood. Power. A toilet… and everything worked. Slept like a baby with a sweet, soft storm in the distance. Can’t guarantee the storm but can guarantee you’ll love this space.

Private, great firepit, peaceful surroundings! I drove a 36 ft class A, driving slow on private road was key, wasn't that wet or muddy otherwise it could of been issue. I sank in place at camp, so if you got alot of weight be sure to shift.

Cool peaceful spot. Had a great time doing s’mores with the kids around the Firepit. It has everything you need (expect water).

This is a beautiful rustic campsite that makes you feel secluded from the rest of the world but doesn't actually put you in the middle of nowhere. On your walk to the outhouse, be weary of uneven spots. Bring plenty of bug spray.

Beautiful campsite looking out onto fields and forests. Near permanent houses but it still feel very private. Toilet and electricity available and in great condition! Would recommend to anyone! Saw loads of wildlife the drive in and in the morning.
