Loved the big open space and the seclusion that it provided! The meadows were beautiful, just be warned that mosquitos were non stop.

Exactly what we hoped for. Had a perfect stay. Private and the grown over farm field was awesome.

A great escape!
I loved Camp Wild and Free! The property is very open and it was perfect for our dog to wander around off-leash. He even chased a deer halfway up the property and I didn’t have to worry about him getting too close to the road (and thankfully his recall is excellent)! It’s a great place to just get away without much noise. The only complaint (if you can call it that) is the sheer amount of ticks on the property, especially near the woods in the back corner of their lot, but that’s a problem everywhere in Michigan lately and for what we paid to stay here it’s not anything worth really putting a big stink up about. Just come prepared to handle them and you’ll be fine. My last touch of advice when staying here: either bring a canopy tent to hang under or set up camp on the east side of some trees so you get some shade. The summer heat can really get you if you don’t have somewhere to escape the sun!

Song birds😍
Beautiful grasslands surrounded by trees with great views of the sunrise/sunset. Not sure how many stars are visible. 10/10 what makes this spot worth it is all the songbirds you get to listen to all day! Woods in the back has a lot of decomposing logs/trees, wetlands and isn’t the easiest to hike or camp in
