100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Enjoy over 10 acres of peaceful woods and open clearings—an authentic Pure Michigan getaway. Easy access with pull-through spots, making the property suitable for RVs and trailers. A bell tent is included with your stay, along with a queen-size bed and mattress protector. Guests should bring their own bedding, or they may purchase a bedding add-on that they can take with them when they leave. Pets are welcome, so bring your furry friends along for the adventure. This is an off-grid property with no electrical hookups. A Jackery portable power station is available for charging phones, lights, and other small devices. Guests may also bring a generator if additional power is needed. The cleaning fee helps cover 25 gallons of fresh drinking and cooking water, 50 gallons of hot shower water, one 1-pound propane tank for the outdoor propane shower, one 1-pound propane tank for the propane stove, eco-friendly mosquito treatment, and professional porta potty management fees. A complimentary first fire is provided—all you need to do is light it. Additional firewood bundles are available for purchase. To support our integrated pest management system and protect the habitat and land, outside firewood is not allowed on the property. Enjoy peaceful evening walks along the candlelit trails. A professionally cleaned and maintained porta potty and a convenient handwashing station are provided onsite. Cell phone signal is limited, making this the perfect place to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with nature. Additional add-ons are available, including bug spray, tiki torch fuel, citronella candles, ice, farm-to-table grocery orders, canoe rental, and additional firewood bundles. Located near beautiful lakes, rivers, public lands, bike trails, and charming small towns.Tucked away on 10+ quiet wooded acres, this rustic bell tent glamping retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and enjoy nature with thoughtful comforts already waiting for you. Fall asleep to crickets and frogs, wake up to birdsong, watch turtles by the pond, wander the trails, spot wildlife, gather around the fire, or simply sit still and let the forest come to you. This is a peaceful Pure Michigan getaway where the everyday can fade away. This private site includes a spacious bell tent near the pond, surrounded by woods, open clearings, trails, and wildlife. Guests have access to an outdoor propane kitchen area, fire pit with grill, picnic tables, handwashing station, 25 gallons of potable drinking water, outdoor propane shower/bath area, 50 gallons of fresh water for showering, Jackery 1000 portable power station, pond views, trails, and a clean porta potty. This is an off-grid site with no traditional electric hookup. The Jackery 1000 is for light power needs such as charging phones, small devices, lights, or a laptop. It is not for heaters, air conditioners, hair dryers, coffee makers, microwaves, or large appliances. The 25 gallons of drinking water is potable. The 50 gallons for the outdoor propane shower setup. The porta potty is professionally emptied and cleaned every Thursday and refreshed between guests with complimentary toilet paper, essential oils, and fresh or dried flowers. Lighting makes nighttime use easier and safer, and a fan helps with airflow and comfort. Because this is a wooded pond setting, mosquitoes are part of the outdoor experience. We use repellents rather than harsh pesticides to help protect the land, pond, pollinators, wildlife, and ecosystem. Guests may purchase mosquito spray and tiki torch citronella oil add-ons, or bring their own preferred bug spray and/or tiki torch fuel. Please do not bring foggers. Guests should bring sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, toiletries, food, and personal items. Bedding may be available as a purchase add-on for guests to take home. Outside firewood is not permitted to help prevent pest spread; firewood must be purchased onsite. Pets are welcome if cared for and controlled.

10 acre Rustic Bell Tent Retreat

What a beautiful and secluded spot! We were able to camp with our class c and tow vehicle. The spot was nice and secluded as described. It was nice and quiet did not see anyone else our entire stay. Amenities were great, porta potty, wood, bug spray, citronella candles, on site garbage; we were so grateful! Our two dogs loved being off leash and roaming the well kept trails and exploring. Super close to Frankenmuth so that was fun to explore. Would definitely recommend.

10 acre Rustic Bell Tent Retreat

The area was super clean, very peaceful to have that much area all to ourselves. My son had a blast exploring the trails which are very nicely maintained. While the weather didn’t really cooperate, we still had an amazing time. If someone is looking for a quiet, relaxing beautiful place for a camping trip, this is the place to go. Also, the host was SUPER responsive when I had any questions. Don’t miss out on visiting.

My husband and I loved staying here (we stayed a full 10 days)!! The campsite is very private, spacious, and relaxing!! Communication with Tabitha was great and she responded to my questions/concerns quickly!! T-Mobile cell service really wasn't too bad (it was much better than the service at our house)! We enjoyed the trails through the woods and playing with our 3 dogs in the wide open space in the campsite. Watching the turtles was also a plus! Highly recommended!!

10 acre Rustic Bell Tent Retreat

Perfect hidden getaway. Just for enough put of town for a peaceful camping experience. Plenty of space to park pur pop-up camper. The outhouse is a short walk along a pretty trail. Be aware you are near a pond in the woods in Michigan, there ARE mosquitoes, but don't let that deter you, from this little woodland grove.

Great place to get away from it all. Nature at its best. Ample space to setup a 22' camper, pitch a tent, and park three vehicles. Didn't see another person the entire trip, but the host was available if we needed.

10 acre Rustic Bell Tent Retreat

What a great secluded gem! We walked the trails with our golden retriever and had a few wonderful campfires. Tabby met us when we arrived and even helped us with firewood as it was later in the evening and we didn't have a tow vehicle with our motorhome. It was extremely windy and we did get some rain but the surrounding hills and trees kept us protected. We will definitely be back! Plenty of room for our 37 foot class A motorhome! The flowers were beautiful too! A++ experience! Thanks Tabby!

This was a nice secluded camp site. Tabitha was very responsive and helpful throughout. It was a nice space where we could fit our 4 tents plus enough play area for the kids. I would recommend brining bug spray as this is next to a pond. The trail was easy to walk. Overall it was a great place for friends and family!

We had a relaxing stay at Tabitha's land. We camped in our small travel trailer and enjoyed morning and afternoon walks on the trails. Communication with Tabitha was great, she provided all the information we needed to enjoy our time there.
