Lake Michigan Tent Camp Hideaway
The tent camping spot was private and well kept, we enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back again!
We loved our stay here! The tent site is private, clean and comfortable. Our dogs (off leash) LOVED roaming the property and swimming. Beautiful UP sunset views on the water. Shoreline is a short walk from the sites. Beach is mostly rocky - some sandy spots. Water is shallow and great for splashing around! No need to bring firewood. Bugs were not bad either.
Location is close to gas station, a couple restaurants, sandy beaches and things to do.
The tent sites are close together, we were the only ones there this weekend so didn’t have any issues with that, but just FYI.
We will definitely be back and look into booking both sites with a larger group…fantastic spot for that!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lake Michigan Maple Grove
We were looking for privacy and an emersion in the woods which can’t really be found at big campgrounds. This spot was beautiful under a canopy of trees, which was nice for shade from the hot sun. If you’re hoping to star-gaze you’ll find it difficult by the campsite. There is an atv trail off the campsite road that is a short walk down to the area by the bay where you can swim or enjoy a sunset. It’s mostly rocks and grasses in the sand, so not a good place for building any sand castles. The water was surprisingly warm. This is a small area by the water that is separate from the host’s backyard waterfront and is shared by campers of both campsites. The two campsites are about 500 ft apart, so it’s not as private as we would’ve liked, but far more private than any noisy campground. Our fellow campers were fairly quiet, thankfully. The only noise issue was being awakened by an atv or dirt bike being driven around for about 10 min or so late at night when the driver was apparently arriving home for the night. There isn’t a toilet available, as older reviews note, so be prepared with a camping toilet and enclosure. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The host is super responsive and was very kind and generous with offerings to help with anything we needed.

Lake Michigan Tent Camp Hideaway
Frances is super friendly, the property was beautiful, and the space was perfect. Good sized secluded spot with a picnic table, canopy, and firewood included, and Lake Michigan only a few minutes walk away. Thank you for letting us stay!

Off the beaten bath with serene nature! Nice tent spot with quality wood, fire pit, and covered picnic table. 10:10

Amazing spot. Very private. The bugs by the water were pretty nuts, but it was extra muggy compared to their usual weather. Host was wonderful. Thanks!

Great spot! First time hip-camper, but overall great experience. Peaceful little spot, great secluded part of the lake- fantastic sunset watching. Close enough to nearby Manistique, Hiawatha National forest. Host was so sweet and friendly- she even left us some welcome goodies.

Lake Michigan Tent Camp Hideaway
This place is a beautiful, natural escape from life. Surrounded by trees and wildlife, a VERY, VERY short walk down a cute path, exploring nature to the beach of beautiful Lake Michigan. With the most gorgeous sunsets, one will see the sun sparkle over the lake. This was my second time camping at Frannie's lovely campsite. At camp, you will find a picnic table, a grill, a few long strings of the most adorable lights, and a fire ring with all the cut wood you could ever burn. Just a mile down the road is a State campground for showering and water. Frannie is so kind, helpful, and welcoming, giving you your privacy or will chat it up if you choose. I love it here and my girl Stella (dog) can run freely off lead and swim without any concern of others near. If you seek the true beauty of the U, P, look no further; this place will not disappoint. Frannie, thanks for another time of making memories!
It was a lovely site with a nice bathroom and covered picnic table and soft tent site. The lake was farther away than expected and next site closer than expected. But actually way better than camp grounds!!!!
dark, quiet, in the woods, yet i’ve never felt so welcome! access to the lake was a big hit for the doggo and kiddo, and historic fayette being so close was also an unexpected bonus.

Private camping with Easy access to State park right up the road! We had a great time!
We enjoyed our stay at camp. Frannie was super kind, checked in on us while giving us space and privacy. Tons of wildlife, beautiful woods for hiking, lake was great to dip into. Definitely would recommend!

Magnifique endroit pour admirer la nature très belle est très préservée. A la fois la forêt environnante comme le lac sont très calmes. L'emplacement et l'organisation sont top. Merci pour cet excellent séjour.
