Linda and Steve were great hosts and helped to make sure I was all set for my stay. I ended up needing a pump and they had one to share. The farm tour was a sweet addition! Great spot to sleep being next to the creek flowing all night! I mostly slept onsite as I was out exploring Leelenau County, Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. Being a walk away from public access to Lake Leelenau is awesome, as are the stars at night!

I loved our spot #1. Phil's property is flat, clear of all debris, sites are spread out nicely so no one was looking directly into another and in fact, #4 is tucked away from the others. Electric is available to all sites. Water is available at Site #1. There is a toilet and a shower (not available during freezing temps).
A nice surprise for us was learning about KRUBB. You need to ask Phil to explain the game and its history.

This spot was very nice and quiet! Access was very easy, the beach is beautiful, and the sauna was so nice! We went in early May so the sauna was a huge bonus. The trees shelter from the wind very well, but we had a bigger tent which was harder to fit in the tree area but still very doable. There were some houses close nearby but despite that it felt very private. Amazing spot overall and I would totally come back!

Phil’s campsite was so thoughtfully set up and stocked! He’s thought of everything! There was a trash can, TP, and hand sanitizer in the outhouse, along with a handwashing sink just outside. There were electrical adapters for the 30amp outlets to 15amps if you need that for a regular extension cord. Firewood and kindling was provided. Grates to cook food on the fire. Nice picnic tables to eat on. Yard games to play. Both Phil and his neighbor came to check on us at some point during our 4 night stay. There’s as much space between campsites here as you’d find at a state park.

I had such an incredible experience at Surf Camp—it truly was a delightfully enjoyable three-day adventure. From the stunning beach views to the many campfires each night and the relaxing sauna, everything came together to create the ultimate camping experience. It’s honestly hard to capture just how special this place is in a single review.
What really stood out, too, was the connection between camper and host. Communication was clear, thoughtful, and consistent from start to finish. They were attentive, quick to answer any questions, and genuinely receptive, which made the whole stay feel easy and welcoming.
I would absolutely recommend Surf Camp to anyone who has the chance to visit the Manistique area. It’s a place that sticks with you long after you leave.

STUNNING PROPERTY!!!
Communication with Eli was prompt and efficient. All directions were very clear and thorough.
Road was plowed until the house just after the Surf Camp. The site itself was not plowed, but we were able to tuck the truck under some trees with little snow to get off the road.
Directions with sauna were very clear, thoroughly enjoyed the wood fired sauna! We used about 1.5 bundles to get it heated up in cold and snowy conditions.
We did not need the privy.
Property felt very private in the winter. Pups had the beach to themselves.

Such a beautiful, peaceful spot right on Lake Michigan! Tucked into a quiet cedar grove on the Garden Peninsula, the site offers a rare combination of off-grid tranquillity and direct access to the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The new wood-fired sauna was an absolute highlight, the perfect way to warm up after a swim! Waking up to the sound of waves, relaxing by the fire at night, and a true off-grid vibe. The fire-pit area in the trees provides a cosy, sheltered setting for an evening under the stars. There has been a lot of care put into this place.
If you’re looking for a beach-camp experience that feels more intimate and upgraded (thanks to the sauna!) rather than a busy campground, this spot is highly recommended. Ideal for folks who want to unplug, still have beach/morning water access, and enjoy a little extra luxury in the wild.

Jeannie & I loved Phil & Stormy's Place. It was quiet this time of year, and we were lucky to be the only folks at their Camp. They definitely had made it their own, and have great amenities. Firewood & Firepit, 30 amp service, a water hose , picnic table & dry kindling.. 2 Porta Potties on site, and a RV cleanout. Great Wooden games around the site for folks enjoyment. Phil is a world renown Game maker who makes Games and interesting items, which he makes in his shop on site. Sends it all around the world. Besides meeting Phil and Chit chatting, because we are both Hip Camp Hosts, Phil gave us a tour of his Shop and woodworking area. Pretty impressive. He was a great host, and is Passionate about Kubb, a Yard game that was originally played overseas, but because of Phi, brought the game to the US. He actually has his own playing field.

Weekend Trip to Tiki Hut Yurts
The yurts were SO cute! The lights were gorgeous and the bathrooms were way more than I expected (a full private bathroom!). The space heater kept us VERY cozy. We were far away enough from our neighbors that we didn’t see or hear anyone else at night. Everything here was great and we highly recommend staying here!!

My brother and I enjoyed our stay on Neal’s land. There were other campers on the property but we never interacted with them. Because we got in late, we never met Neal. The land was right next to a road but it was not a busy road. It was a cheap and nicely located site! I would recommend this site to anyone just looking for a safe night’s sleep (with no amenities)

Great site. Only stayed for a few hours due to having an early morning trip but it was a great place to stay for the night.
