Our sites accomodate 2 adults and their minors, with 1-2 vehicles at your site's access point. If you're traveling more than 2 adults please book more than one camp site. Enjoy a peaceful outdoor experience in beautiful Leelanau County via Agritourism at Jackson Station on the Leelanau Peninsula! Our property has 4 private sites situated among a dense pine forest on our small-scale farm. We're located conveniently between the two popular vacation destinations of Glen Arbor and Leland, MI - both a short scenic drive in either direction. The Leelanau Peninsula is littered with recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, beaches, boating, fishing, dining, shopping and wine tasting, and of course the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore! Our farm produces pastured, all natural meat, including pork, beef, chicken and goat. Find the hens roaming around and see the pigs, cows and goats hanging out in the fenced-in areas. A variety of cuts of meat from our freezers are available for sale or get a tour of the farmstead ~ Just ask! You may simply enjoy the scene at your leisure. SITE DETAILS: Each camp site has a bed of woodchips, gravel surrounding a bonfire ring, a clothesline and neatly stacked firewood for sale. Our sites may accomodate 2 adults and their minors. We recommend that larger groups or multiple adults book more than one site next to each other (sites 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 are good for this). Quiet hours are enforced between 10pm-7am. This is our home and farm, not a campground, please think of staying here in that way. A short walk from camp, down the farm road to the north end of the livestock fence, you'll find access to a water pump for delicious drinking water straight from our well, so that you may fill containers of water or utilize for rinsing. Our land borders the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. You'll be just a few miles from access to beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. Relax in the sand, hunt for rocks, hike a trail, kayak or paddle-board and watch an epic sunset. We are just down the road from the uninhabited School Lake, known for its fishing from non-motorized boats or a quiet place to paddle. Additionally, just 2 Miles away you can access the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, a non-motorized 27 mile groomed trail that follows the scenic M-22 from our location all the way to Empire, MI. This trail is open year round to walk, run, bicycle, snowshoe or cross-country ski. 2.8 miles in the other direction from our camp, you'll find a Mountain Bikers paradise at Palmer Woods Forest Preserve, with various hiking trails and a 6 mile mountain bike trail.

Farm Camping.

Great Spot at Jackson’s Farm. We had the place to ourselves & couldn’t have been more happy with the Spot. Clean Porto Potty. The Fire Pit with Cooking Grate made Cooking a Breeze. Will for sure recommend & looking forward to coming back ourselves.

Third time here and always a great experience! The sites are well kept, are separated enough and the beach is near by. :)

Easy to Find, Safe and Secluded

The directions were very clear and camp was easy to find! Perfect amount of amenities for tent camping and location was beautiful! The animals (both wild and on the farm) are quite loud so if that bothers you this might not be the spot for you. We felt safe and were able to keep to ourselves, which is just what we wanted!

Site 1

Very clean site. Clearly marked and easy to get to although we didn't have good cell service for mapping our trip. I was grateful for the trash and recycling. Farm animals were very sweet, we made friends with some baby goats. We did not meet Kevin and Raquel, but they are clearly very thoughtful camp hosts who made our stay as smooth as possible.

The campsite was clean, and felt very safe. We stayed two nights, and experienced the most beautiful stars at night. It felt far away enough from others, yet close enough to delicious bagels in the morning from the town of Glen Arbor. We would love to come back here, as it was one of the best sites we've been to.

Site 3

This site is in a great location for exploring the dunes lakeshore and peninsula! Great campsite with firewood and a fire pit and a 5 minute drive to a beautiful beach. Be prepared for farm animal noises, neighbor kids and dog noise, and the occasional late night wildlife. You can see and hear the other campsites from the campsite entrance but it’s a friendly atmosphere with privacy. Will be staying here again if we’re in the area.
