Tincan Camp

100%

· Bloomingdale, Van Buren, Michigan

7 acres hosted by Kate S.

1 lodging site · 2 RV sites

Full RV hookups

Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at select sites.

This fun property is just under 7 acres - butted up to another 12 acres of public land (and boat launch) with trails, boardwalk and a dock on 51 acre Lake Eleven. The property is shared by (2) full-hook up RV sites and a cabin. If available, the cabin and sites may be rented together however the owners, Jim and Maria, use the cabin much of the summer leaving just the RV sites available. The property is at mile market 13 of the Kal-Haven Trail - the midpoint. The Kal-Haven Trail is a biking, cross-country skiing, walking, running, snowmobiling - you name it, the trail that goes 34 miles from Kalamazoo to South Haven. Literally steps from the property and you are on the trail. But you may not need to leave the property, with 6.3 acres of woods and field, with trail cut through PLUS the added public lands butted up to Tincan's property line, giving almost 20 acres to roam. Each RV site - far enough apart to be separate, close enough if you and friends/family want to camp together, has a fire pit and fireplace. Each RV site offers water, 30|50AMP electrical and septic. The dock may have availability for keeping you boat - please inquire. There are kayaks and some bikes (mostly teen and adult size) that may be used. These are shared amenities for the cabin and campsite guests and offered on a first come, first serve basis. There are surprises galore around the property; big foots to be found tucked around the property, games, and overall just a fun place to be. This was a run-down fishing cabin Jim and Maria lovingly brough back to life as a second home and they delight in sharing it. Jim often referred to it as "The Tincan" while working on it as it was - indeed, a tin shack and the name stuck. Kate, your booking coordinator, helps Jim and Maria tend to the administrative side of getting the property booked and keeping the details in order. Once booked you'll get contact info for Kate, who will take care of most communications and logistics, and Jim/Maria who will also be available to help as needed.

Great place to camp!

I loved the slide down to the lake and all of the water activities available!! It was a very peaceful place to camp for a reasonable price! We had lots of laughs and great adventures! Definitely will be back!

Awesome biking & boating!

We loved our stay here! This location can’t be beat. Between the bike trail, the lake & the water toys, we explored & kept ourselves entertained easily. They rigged one of their hills as a big slide - really fun. Highly recommend!

Loved Our Long Weekend Here!

We loved the peaceful, remote setting that’s still close enough to enjoy days in South Haven and Saugatuck! Proximity to the bike trail is great, and the giant ferns on either side of the boardwalk to the lake felt magical. We’ll definitely be back!

Great place to stay with everything

We had a great time (5 nights) on site 2. Water, Electric, and Sewer hookups are all very new and work flawlessly. Easy to level (had to raise left side about 3-4 inches). Plenty of room to maneuver, large gravel space for parking, picnic, etc. At site 2, you'll see the back of site 1 RV if someone is there, there is plenty of space. At site 1, you'll have a full wooded view, but a little smaller space right outside your RV. Either site is great, and there's plenty of shares space, trails, and a 1 minute walk (if you are slow) to the Bike Trail. For fun, there's a large conveyer slide, plenty of water toys (Kayaks, Canoes, paddleboards, trampoline, dock, etc) -- and we got to test out some bumper boats that the host got going on our last day there. The host was very generous and friendly and even took out his pontoon boat into the lake so my son could use the water slide on the back! We lucked out and were alone for the first 3 nights of our stay, and had an extremely considerate RV neighbor for our final 2 nights. The space is very private outside of the cabin and the other RV site -- and it's very quiet and away from noise and business. A thousand times better than an RV park or regular campground. One note -- bring plenty of bottled water if you don't like the metallicy taste of well water. We had plenty of water so this was not a problem for us. Wouldn't hesitate to come back if you come back to the area! Had a great time, thank you!

Hidden Gem

This is a hidden gem. The kids loved it. Sledding in summer, water triking, water trampoline, kayaks,bikes and more. They are right off the bike trail that is great for anyone. Especially those who like long miles of riding. Quiet, tiny and hidden away. Loved it! Thank you!
