I have a 4.5 acre country location for campers to use as a home base while touring the festivities of the Thumb of Michigan.. During the spring there are the migration of spring birds, an awry of wild flowers, hiking in our state lands, wild mushrooms, wildlife and fishing in the great lakes. The Summer brings wild blueberry picking, hiking trails, festivals, music, swimming, boating and nights around the campfire... The Fall comes alight with the fall colors that will rival any colors from the northern areas, and hunting. The property is situated near the local Amish Community that offers a great glimpse into their lives thru their gardens, stores, and bakeries. The pictures I have listed were taken in the fall so foliage was at its lowest point.. Tent sites are situated along the western edge of the property or within the area with the main campers to the southern area.. Fire ring and picnic tables available.. Portapotty, cold water taps and trash receptacles' are near by.. A host gift of 1st campfire with every campsite. Life on the homestead includes chickens, ducks, rabbits and turkeys..imagine waking up to crowing roosters and fresh eggs for breakfast... I also have fresh produce and or you can pick your veggies from one of my greenhouses or wander thru the strawberry and blackberry patch to nibble on fresh berries...or pick sun ripened peaches off the peach trees in the orchard... then in the late summer and fall their are different types of apples to be picked right from the trees.

The Simple Life

This is my second time staying at this awesome campsite during this season. It’s 15 minutes to Port Austin/Lake Huron marina, Murphys Bakery and outdoor shops and restaurant. The marina is also the launch site for boat tours to Turnip Rock. The property is just off the main road, sites have grass fairly level parking, fire pit and firewood, a clothesline, a nearby Porta potty and access to water & electricity. It’s an older but well maintained property with lots of shade trees, picnic table, gardens, fruit trees, turkeys, geese, rabbits, lots of squirrels (for my dog’s entertainment and host’s dog, Duke. Theresa, the Host, is very friendly and helpful but is non intrusive. She is knowledgeable and shared highlights of the area and was readily available both stays. I will definitely camp at her place again and highly recommended it!

I had an awesome stay here—I was the only RV. It’s a great campsite close to Lake Huron recreational activities with cities close by. Theresa’s property is easily accessible. The campsites are grassy in wooded area or open spaces near greenhouses. Theresa, the host, is kind, hardworking and was welcoming and always available. She shares her knowledge of the local area readily.

Theresa’s place was a perfect spot for a trip to the center of the Thumb. It’s located on a former flower farm that looks like it’s fallen into a bit of disrepair. Lots of cats, ducks, rabbits, and chickens roamed the property. Theresa wasn’t there to meet me, but her sister Helen was super kind and even let me charge my car because I was in a pinch. They are on a busy road, but it quieted down at night.
