Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
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!

Cherisse greeted us and was pleasant and helpful. There was plenty of space for us to camp and it was clean attractive.

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!

Serene, beautiful, ducks.
Cherisse's land was so beautiful. There was a lovely pond, willow trees, ducks, a beautiful food. It was spacious and it was nice there was a porta-pottie (very clean). It was really great for the kids (and adults) to watch the penning of the ducks. It's super close (10 mins or less) to Warren Dunes State Park. Stargazing was amazing, we saw a few shooting stars. Bugs/mosquitos were not bad at all. We will definitely be back!

Great find, beautiful shady spots by the duck pond. Close to Sawyer. Fun to watch the ducks!

Lovely camp
Charisse has a beautiful property and the ducks were so fun! The location is close enough to town for any forgotten items (or a beer), but tucked away enough that you can see the stars.
