Long Haul Flower Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Chelsea, MI

Long Haul Farm is an organic flower farm in Chelsea, MI dedicated to sustainably growing plants, family, community, and soil biology for generations, the long haul!-------- History --------Growing up, I used to come here to visit my great-aunt & uncle's horse ranch. My great uncle grew up visiting his great uncle who was one of the first in our family on this land. They were animal and nature lovers, and in their retirement, sold 130 acres to The Nature Conservancy, all of which is now protected as a county nature preserve. Unfortunately 11 years ago, my great-uncle and aunt had passed and we had to sell the family land. By an amazing serendipitous luck, as we were looking for a farm homestead to move to, we reconnected with the owners of the land and they were just deciding to sell it. So my family was able to buy back the family land and continue the legacy. -------- Onwards ----Kathryn and I are restarting our cut-flower farm, and hoping to develop a permaculture inspired orchard and keep chickens and pigs. We love living here surrounded by extensive state and county parks and recreation land, while still being close enough to Chelsea and Ann Arbor for all that they provide. Our aim is to create a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable atmosphere for our visitors. We hope to provide a refuge in nature and perhaps even some education of flowers or wildlife. Join us in carrying on the legacy of family land stewardship and love for natural spaces! - Doug (he/him/his) & Kat (she/her/hers)Find us on Facebook: fb.com/LongHaulFarmAnd Instagram: @LongHaulFarmMI

The CH Retreat

2 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · Dansville, MI

Our property is 15 acres in beautiful south central Michigan, north of Jackson, and south of Lansing. It features an approximate 2 acre spring fed pond that does not have scum. It eventually flows into a creek that meanders through onsite wetlands into State of Michigan land. It is virgin land and exhibits many forms of wildlife: deer, turkey, rabbits, pheasants, fish, birds, and other. One day this will be our future dream home, but in the meantime we enjoy using it for a getaway and peaceful surroundings. Activities include the following: We have kayaked on the pond, had campfires on the hill, hiked through the swamp, fished on the pond, and have had hunters in the fall. Within a 30 minute drive are the cities of Lansing and Jackson that have numerous activities and culture.

The best camping near Sleepy Hollow State Park guide

Overview

About

Those who identify as being outdoorsy all year ‘round and those who hibernate until the warm ‘n’ sunny seasons alike will find the respite they desire at Sleepy Hollow State Park. Whispering woods, tranquil fields, and welcoming trails together make the 2,600 acres of this beautiful park, which it charmingly hosts a river running right through it, and the 410-acre Lake Ovid, too. Conveniently located just 20 miles from Lansing and accessed by US-27, Sleepy Hollow is a leisurely escape that plays innkeeper to over 228 species of wildlife ranging from common jays to the occasional bald eagle. It’s also an excellent destination for snowshoeing and other winter activities, making it an indispensable natural locale for those dedicated nature-lovers we mentioned above who might wish to flee it all on any given day of the year.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Sleepy Hollow State Park is during the warm embrace of summer, from June to August, when the park is in full bloom and the lake's waters invite you for a swim. Conversely, winter months can be quite harsh, with snow blanketing the trails and limiting access to the park's full splendor.

Know before you go

Ensure you have a Recreation Passport for park entry; it's a must for your vehicle.
Check trail conditions and weather forecasts before your visit to stay safe.
Accessibility varies across the park, so plan according to your needs.
Remember to pack out your trash, keeping the park pristine for all.
Facilities may vary by season, so verify which are available during your stay.
