My 4 and a half acres have a natural pond on it. I raise ducks and the 11 different breeds are free-range and swim all day in the pond. I am three miles from Lake Michigan and my town has a public access beach. I am surrounded by wineries, breweries, and antique stores. I am in the country but only a few miles off the expressway. Berrien County's adorable small towns are known for their special events all year round.Pitch your tent or pull your self-contained RV along side my pond for a relaxing night in the country. Wake up to ducks swimming in the pond and the sounds of nature all around you. Oh, and those ducks give me delicious eggs that are for sale! There are vineyards, wineries, breweries, and lots of small town activities to keep you busy. I am just a few miles from the interstate. You will love it here!

We had an amazing time at Once Upon a Pond! I think I will camp here anytime I am visiting Lake Michigan. Quiet, spacious, very clean port-a-potty, plenty of fire pits. The ducks were an absolute delight, as was Cherisse who took the time to talk to us about her ducks. She is knowledgeable and has a lot of duck related facts to share! I would recommend this site for any group looking for a quiet and simple getaway

A peaceful pond campsite
My daughter and I loved Cherisse’s campsite! The pond and land are lovely and well kept, and it’s a short drive to Lake Michigan. It was a quiet, comfortable space, and the ducks were delightful. Cherisse was a kind, communicative host, and we can’t wait to return!
