I had a good 2 nights of camping at south haven. It's very close to the Van Buren state park with sand dunes. South Haven the town is also minutes away with beaches, fishing charters,boutiques and plenty of great restaurants !

Good for an Overnight Stop

We did not stay long, but the property was good for our one night stay! It was a little bit tricky finding the entrance as we didn’t see a street number, but thankfully some kind neighbors helped us out!

We didn’t end up staying because I forgot my tent poles but Tammy was very kind and initiated the refund immediately.

Perfect stay while traveling!

16 ft car

Great for a short stay, multiple spaces to pick from. I chose one closer to the house because I was afraid my dogs might scare the chickens in the back. The site had beautiful moss on the ground! Tammy was super sweet and showed me around. While the site is very close to the highway, it was not too loud. My pups and I did walk the short distance to the paved trail in the woods, it was really nice.

We were passing thru and found Tammy’s place last minute. She was very cordial and has a dark and quiet spot with easy access to the highway.

Lots of room with fire ring. No firewood provided, but there was some found around the property, but bring your ax to cut it up. Tammy was very friendly. She even had hens on the property that wandered around. Only problem I had was the noise from the expressway that was close by.

Tent camped at one of the campsites during a bike trip! It was as described and Tammy was there to meet us and share additional details. Would stay there again! It was close to the bike path and the state park nearby.

Great place :)

It was perfect for us! We definitely enjoyed our stay, had no problems with anything! If we had to use the bathroom, we just went to the nearest gas station. Had so much fun in the countryside and got to see chickens walking around!

Host was very helpful. Met us and told us where to set up. It was easy to find, directions were easy. The spot is very close to the van Buren bike trail. Beautiful trail that goes right into South Haven.

Tammy was very accommodating. We didn’t arrive until late at night but she was able to help us find the site and make some breakfast recommendations for the next morning. We left early the next morning so we didn’t spend a ton of time there, but it was overall a good stay. I think the biggest issue if we stayed longer would be having no bathroom.

Good location, not a lot of privacy

Tent

Great location close to the beach and walking/bike trail. Unfortunately, it’s right on the highway so it’s pretty loud if you’re tent camping. The camping sites are protected from the road, but are pretty close to the house and right next to each other. Would have been pretty tight if there had been other campers.
