I will also supply free fire wood for the month of June. A good fire can also help. Again, it just depends on the timing and the weather. I get that question a lot so that is my best answer. The drive in is short, but a bit rocky in a couple spots. SUV is recommended, but has been done with a car taking it slow and easy!

Top notch single site.

Very well kept remote site. Perfect for getting away and enjoying nature in peace. We’d most certainly stay again and would also highly recommend to others. Perfect spot and a perfect host. Thank you again for sharing your land.

If you seek a pleasant campsite…

I would highly recommend staying at this site! The property is beautiful and conveniently located to both Munising and Marquette. There is a small cabin on the site where you can escape the elements if needed. Everything went smoothly and we had a great time. Thank you, Judy and Mike!

Immersed into wilderness

We absolutely loved Judy’s place. We were able to fit two tents including a canopy to help protect us from the rain. We loved that the place was secluded. We were truly immersed into the wilderness. Be prepared - there were a lot of mosquitoes.

Whimsical and wonderful

We loved camping on Judy's land! Five acres all to yourself! It was so peaceful, all you could hear was the birds during the day and silence at night. My favorite part was when it rained! Hearing the sounds of rain and seeing the forest all around you was an amazing feeling. The fire pit was a perfect size and there was plenty of fire food! There was a table, a few side tables, chairs and outhouse. We camped in July and it had been raining a lot so the mosquitos were pretty bad. Judy provided us with bug net masks which helped out a lot! When we arrived Judy helped is with the fire which was so kind as the wood was pretty damp from the rain and difficult to lite. Thank you Judy for being a wonderful host!

TIL next time!!

It’s absolutely stunning. Judy is a fantastic host. Grateful she shared this location with us. Bugs are expected when camping, but truly not bad after your fires goin and bug spray it up. The only time they were bad was when we first arrived, but again, once you get the fire goin and spray the area a bit, very tolerable. We would love to visit here in UP again, So green, quiet, beautiful views. Pictured rocks are amazing. Hope we will see you again in the future, Judy! Thank you again for all you do. 🤟🏼🔆

Autumn Paradise

What a perfect slice of fall. It was everything my pumpkin spice loving, hiking obsessed, dog loving soul needed. My partner and I stayed here with our pup. We loved the sweet solitude of this place. The bumpy drive into the woods was just the right amount to feel totally tucked into the forest. We loved having precut wood and everything we needed. The space was kept up with lots of tlc. Our pup loved running around in the leaves and the freedom of being of leash. Just a short drive from the shore of Lake Superior or countless hiking trails in the area. It's the perfect getaway. Already thinking about the next time we can get up there!
