Camp 1 North Meadow - RV/Tent
It was the second time we stayed at Julie’s place. The site was very well-maintained, private and beautiful. And there is a farm right next door for some daily activities, especially in the fall! Julie was very flexible and attentive to all my questions. Would definitely recommend this place!

I camped at their beautiful meadow campsite offering a fire ring and picnic table. There are beautiful wooded trails, a nearby cider mill, petting farm, pumpkin patch, and a corn maze to explore during the fall.
Tom and Julie are very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating, ensuring a safe and memorable stay.

I'm an experienced camper, due to motorcycling and whitewater kayaking.
Have camped in Alaska, Colorado, bottom of Grand Canyon for 6 weeks.
.
This was my first time using Hipcamp, so I was unsure what to expect.
Local state recreation areas were closed, so I gave this a try.
.
The camping area was exactly as described in words and photos.
We had a walk-in tent site, so we parked at a marked parking spot.
Then carried our gear another 500' across a tiny stream and up a hill.
.
It was a 2-night stay with my 4yo daughter on a father-daughter leaf-peeping motorcycle trip out of Detroit. She has also camped many times / places before, and I wanted her to have an adventure close to home.
.
Tom & Julie's place was perfect for us.
It was about 3 miles east of Pinckney, so we had restaurants.
The area is rural, and beautiful in the fall.
The road to Tom & Julie's was smooth dirt for 2 miles.
Then is was maybe 1/8 mile from their mailbox to the campsite.
.
The campsite was in a small clearing in the woods.
Rarely did modern man-made noise intrude on the natural sounds.
There was a fire-ring in the clearing, a couple cut logs to sit on.
Firewood was available for a small fee.
But there was plenty of dead wood around, for kindling or a small fire.
So we enjoyed a small fire and did not purchase additional wood.
.
It was just our luck there was a pumpkin farm nearby.
My daughter loved the hay rides, corn maze, etc.
.
The experience very positive, and I'd use Hipcamp again.

Perfect spot to have some privacy and feel safe. Camping on grass and some level ground is really nice as opposed to a beet down Public camp ground.
I sat and talked with owner Tom, great guy. They call people like this good folk. Real good site too solid ground, lots of geese and cranes went by multiple times. Loved the stay here. We tested out a new air tent here had several nice fires and ate few really good steaks our last night. I almost hate post up here about this little gem in fear of others finding out about this gem. Oh did I mention how Responsive and respectful Julie was in returning information and questions getting answered.

Camp 1 North Meadow - RV/Tent
We stayed here in our Skoolie over labor day weekend. Site 1 had a nice up north feeling without have to go up north! Private, quiet and peaceful. Great place for bird watching.

I've been camping at various Hipcamps this summer. While each and every experience has been wonderful, Tom and Julie's land is outstanding with beautiful scenery. They've thought of everything. Easy to follow site map, land markers to each private campsite, wooded trails with a bridge covered creek, an open meadow and "park", potable water, an oder free valted outhouse with easy access to each site, fire rings, firewood (for a small fee) and a sled to pull the wood to each site, and best of all, they are great hosts. This is a must camp experience rich in history. I'm looking forward to camping here this fall to view all of the fall colors.

Easy to find. Sites were well identified, the walk in site was clean. No bug issues.
Stayed two nights, will again if I'm in the area without hesitation.

Enjoyed the quiet, calm of the camp spot. Went to Brighton Recreation Beach about 10 mins away. Very relaxing spot for a small getaway.

The property was beautiful! It was super private and the walk was not too far to the walk in campsite. I will say the bugs were pretty bad, but as long as you have a fire going, or go camping when it is hot (that was our mistake) they wouldn't be a problem. I'd definetely recommend this place!

Camp 1 North Meadow - RV/Tent
If you want privacy this is the place for you. We loved how much space we had and the area lit up w/fireflies each night. The only down side was the neighbor who had fireworks going off til midnight on the 4th. The outhouse is a walkable distance from the camp.

This is a beautiful site. It was entirely secluded, shady, and near a quaint small creek. The walk in is a quarter mile tops, and manageable with a cane - there's a gradual hill but the ground is even. There is another site within view on the walk in but it's not visible from the site itself.
Two things to consider: the parking is in full sun, so don't leave anything that can melt, and there is a wet area near the site that probably teems with mosquitos if it's been damp recently - we got lucky that it hadn't rained in days. Bring deet! Still, 5/5 stars!

We loved tent camping here! The walk down to the walk-up site was not bad at all, other than a tree that was mostly blocking the path! We did find a lot of ticks as well, so just keep an eye out!

Very much enjoyed my time at the walk-in tent site. The area was well kept and I did not need to clear any sticks or pinecones before setting up my tent. Fire pit was very easy to find and in a good location relative to the rest of the site. Host was very responsive via hipcamp app which was appreciated. The land is beautiful and rich with wildlife, including a surprisingly large number of butterflies! Highly recommend, I'll be coming back soon!

We enjoyed camping on Julie's land. The walk in site is nicely tucked in and very private. The property has clear signs for all camping spots. We appreciated also received a message in advance informing us that there was no more firewood for sale for that day. We prepared accordingly and had a nice camping trip.

Beautiful property and secluded site. The check-in instructions and registration flyer was very helpful. It was also easy to find some downed timber to supplement the firewood we brought. There’s awesome trails to hike / bike nearby at Brighton Rec Area.

And it’s absolutely perfect for our group. From the communication to the lay of the land and the outhouse, the site has everything you need for a great night of camping. The site is open enough to play catch, frisbee or any kind of lawn game. Plenty of trees to hammock and plenty of flat areas to tent. There is a sled where you park so you can pull your gear to the site, we appreciated that. Just an overall great experience with thoughtful hosts!

Camp 2 - West Woods - RV/Tent
I enjoyed my stay at this site. Has a nice fire ring and tons of wood around the area that you can gather. I ended up bringing my own wood but I didn’t even need it as it was more than enough around the area. Very clean, private, peaceful, and all around a good site. I drove a big transit van and set up my tent, canopy and brought my generator if it was needed.
I WILL be returning!!

This place was awesome. Very quiet, well organized and plenty of space. I tent camped and the ground was level and I was able to pull right in which made it easy to set up.
The owners are awesome and such nice people. We felt really welcome there.

This was our maiden voyage in our new rig, our semi-local "dry run" boondocking outing.
The hosts were extremely communicative throughout the booking process, and very friendly and helpful throughout. Site 1 (North Meadow) is on the far edge of the property, secluded and isolated from amy neighbors. There is firewood for sale (and a sled for transporting if by foot), and there was also a good number of downed branches and twigs available as well.
The farm literally next door was a nice little outing that would be a long walk if buying a pumpkin or anything like that.
All in all, a great and relaxing time. Will be back for sure.

Camp 1 North Meadow - RV/Tent
This was a great place for us to land for the first night of our trip from Ohio up through MI to the UP. We spoke with Tom for a bit when we arrived and he gave us some tips on the areas we were heading to in the UP... very pleasant and kind guy. Quiet area and the site was very private from other campsites (which is important to us because our dog doesn't believe that any other dogs should exist in the world!). Definitely would return if coming through the area again.

This is a very nice place to camp! If you're confused where to go when you arrive, pick up a map in the box as you pull in. Nicely labeled signs telling you where to go as well. Paths were nicely mowed and the site was well cleared. Very beautiful and quiet location. There were lots of mosquitoes in August, but that's to be expected. We built a fire and that made the bugs go away.
