The Haven Camping and Outdoor Wedding Venue began in 2022, Our goal is to strive to share the property that God has graciously blessed us with, with the public. The Haven is nestled on 3 acres of beautiful land on the St Joseph River. Our property setting is a hidden gem that opens to the most beautiful natural setting. The land offers a gorgeous view of the river and numerous shady sites nestled underneath a giant array of Oak, Beach and Walnut trees. Here at The Haven, the property has ample space for parking, room for various size camping tents and small pop-up tents small RV's, A dock for fishing, and access for kayaking. Fire pits and grill area for cooking and a complimentary bucket with some goodies to start you off. This setting is perfect for camping in a private nestled nook on the river. We have more than one area on the property to choose from. You can choose any site you would like: The River’s edge, Beach Area (site 1) Small RV and tent site, The River under The Canopy of trees (site 2) small RV and tent site, The Cove by the woods, small camper, and tent (site 4) great views of the river. The Cozy Corner (Site 3) by the woods on the river (this is a secluded corner and very private.) And last but not least our Cozy Camper vintage Trailer that sleeps up to 4 people with all the amenities and can accommodate campers with tents (2) (site 5). Come Stargaze or hangout at the “spot” (dock) comfortably and lounge with views of the water or sit by the campfire at “The Pit.” Every site is first come first serve. Book earlier to get your desired spot! Bring your toys and play in the great outdoors! We have corn hole toss, horseshoe toss, but if you have toys you can use them here, throw the football, Frisbee or play some volleyball or Tether ball whichever!

Great Little Spot for the Weekend

Cozy Corner ( Site 3)
What a great little spot to camp for the weekend. I loved waking up and having a view of the river and the woods on the other side. Kat provided everything we needed, including a s'mores kit! Our site was far enough away from the other sites that we had privacy. This campsite was great for peace and quiet and space to get away with our little dog.

Cozy Corner ( Site 3)
This place has been on my wish list for quite some time and we finally got to check it out. I would give 6/5 stars if I could. This is an amazing site and I will treasure memories of waking up riverside for many years to come. We enjoyed the beautiful sites and also rented the kayaks. While you’re here, check out Niles Brewing Company just minutes away. We were also able to buy wood from a house just up the road. If you’re considering booking this place, do it!!

The camping at Kay’s land was great! There’s nothing I could say that was negative, in fact the Porta potty was one of the cleanest ones I’ve used. I will definitely book here again

The Haven is amazing! Kat’s spot is close to town while still feeling remote. Even with a few other hipcampers on the property, we very rarely saw them. Beautiful and right in the river! The camper was perfect for two people.

Our camping experience here was fantastic! The location felt private and peaceful, with plenty of space to relax. We loved sitting by the fire under the stars at night. The host was kind and quick to respond to any questions. The kayak was such a wonderful bonus and made the trip even more special! I would love to come back again soon!

The beach (site 1)
I stayed at beach site 1 and it was such a great view! I was surprised at how big the land was, because of the neighborhood. It was a fantastic weekend and the sites are spaced enough apart where you can hear others but not nearly as much as your average campground. The port a potty was also very cleans.

Loved this little camper, which was indeed cozy. We only got to stay for one night but did get to enjoy to outside fire pit area that was very relaxing, plus the views of the water. Would love to stay here again sometime, and or possible bring a tent to stay closer to the water, the weather was perfect when we stayed.

Great site, very scenic river and great hosts. The sites were closer together than we preferred. More residential than we expected as it does feel close to the houses.

We had so much fun staying in the Cozy Corner. It was beautiful and peaceful. The site is beautiful and the views are amazing. Will definitely be back! Note: there are no grill grates! So be prepared with your own camping stove if you want to cook food over the fire.

This is my second time staying on Kats property. It is breathtaking right on the river. It’s a breeze to put your kayak in. Go fishing or swimming. The current can get pretty strong for young swimmers. Its so peaceful. The stars are incredible. It’s private. Kay and her family are lovely. Highly recommend staying here.

Kat was such a gracious, responsive, annd accommodating host! I went during the week and was the only camper on the property, and the river was the perfect backdrop to our cozy, tucked away little spot. The common area dock was perfect for getting my paddle board in the water, and when I wasn't busy swimming, there were plenty of ducks, swans, and herons to watch while relaxing by the fire. The little care package to start off the trip was just the cherry on top. Can’t wait to go back!
