Camping on our Organic Farm

7 sites · RVs, Tents138 acres · North Branch, MI

WHAT'S NEW ON THE FARM IN 2023 This year we are expecting two foals (baby horses). One the end of April and one around the Fourth of July. We are also milking a family cow for our own milk as well. Her name is Daisy and her calfs name is Maple. Maple was born in March on the maple full moon. We do a calf share where the calf is with her mom part of the time and we are still able to milk her. Our mini horse, Annabell is now pulling a cart and giving rides! So much fun! We will have Great Pyrenees puppies from end of April through mid July. Come and spend some time with them! We also have two new additions to the farm. A pony mule, named Molly, in which I am planning to train to pull a cart and a cream colored pony, named Whinny as well, for riding. ABOUT DOREEN I’m an entrepreneur. I’m all about health and taking care of the mind, body and spirit. I’m an organic farmer, an animal nut, health coach, mindset mentor and Psych-K facilitator. I have six children and hosted three foreign exchange students. I love kids, animals (especially horses) and nature. I love anything and everything about health and personal growth and well being. ABOUT THE FARM We have a working, organic farm with a lot of animals, however, we also do crops as well. This particular farm is 138 acres with 8 acres of woods. We have working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, a few ducks, chickens, a couple goats, a mini horse and outdoor cats on our farm. We have some super great animals. Most of which are very friendly. You never know what will be available to see on the farm when you visit. We are expecting a foal (baby horse) this summer (2021) and are already planning for another foal next summer as well. We often have puppies as well and sometimes we have to bottle feed lambs. There's never a dull moment. Our farm is unique in the way of having a very positive VIBE to it. The energy is awesome! It's really a space of tranquility and healing if you allow yourself to go there. After hosting with air bnb for a little over a year now, we decided to give this a try as well. We love hosting people and having them come to the farm and enjoy our way of life. It also helps to have a supplemental income as having and running a small family farm isn't very sustainable. Typically there's off the farm jobs to help pay for the farm life. It's a crazy equation. Small family farms are far and few between. Please support your local farmer if possible! It is greatly appreciated!

The 10 acre property was purchased by their grandparents in the 70's as vacant land where they designed and built their dream home and pond on the front two acres. While you'll drive through it to access the back 8 acres, the front two acres are currently leased to a long term tenant who isn't to be disturbed.Each year we're improving the property and adding amenities. We currently have 4 individual van or tent camping sites and a larger community site that could accommodate up to 3 small RV's, vans or up to 22' trailers. We're in the process of building a 200 sqft structure to be the "lounge" common area hangout next to the community fire pit. Most vehicles with normal ground clearance should be able to access without issue. Extended heavy rain has created mud in the past at the entrance where 4x4 could be necessary to get in and out after a storm. Drivable roads and camp areas on back 8 acres were bushes cleared about a year ago. While its mostly grass now, there are still short, sticks/roots sticking out in some areas where they haven't been cleared or decomposed yet but still comfortable to drive or walk.

Camping on our Organic Farm

WHAT'S NEW ON THE FARM IN 2023 This year we are expecting two foals (baby horses). One the end of April and one around the Fourth of July. We are also milking a family cow for our own milk as well. Her name is Daisy and her calfs name is Maple. Maple was born in March on the maple full moon. We do a calf share where the calf is with her mom part of the time and we are still able to milk her. Our mini horse, Annabell is now pulling a cart and giving rides! So much fun! We will have Great Pyrenees puppies from end of April through mid July. Come and spend some time with them! We also have two new additions to the farm. A pony mule, named Molly, in which I am planning to train to pull a cart and a cream colored pony, named Whinny as well, for riding. ABOUT DOREEN I’m an entrepreneur. I’m all about health and taking care of the mind, body and spirit. I’m an organic farmer, an animal nut, health coach, mindset mentor and Psych-K facilitator. I have six children and hosted three foreign exchange students. I love kids, animals (especially horses) and nature. I love anything and everything about health and personal growth and well being. ABOUT THE FARM We have a working, organic farm with a lot of animals, however, we also do crops as well. This particular farm is 138 acres with 8 acres of woods. We have working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, a few ducks, chickens, a couple goats, a mini horse and outdoor cats on our farm. We have some super great animals. Most of which are very friendly. You never know what will be available to see on the farm when you visit. We are expecting a foal (baby horse) this summer (2021) and are already planning for another foal next summer as well. We often have puppies as well and sometimes we have to bottle feed lambs. There's never a dull moment. Our farm is unique in the way of having a very positive VIBE to it. The energy is awesome! It's really a space of tranquility and healing if you allow yourself to go there. After hosting with air bnb for a little over a year now, we decided to give this a try as well. We love hosting people and having them come to the farm and enjoy our way of life. It also helps to have a supplemental income as having and running a small family farm isn't very sustainable. Typically there's off the farm jobs to help pay for the farm life. It's a crazy equation. Small family farms are far and few between. Please support your local farmer if possible! It is greatly appreciated!

Camping near Sarnia guide

Overview

Sitting on the border between the United States and Canada is Sarnia, Ontario. Campers can play on sandy beaches at the southernmost point on Lake Huron. Then, explore Pinery Provincial Park or A.W. Campbell Conservation Area and find primitive tent, RV, and glamping campsites close to covered marinas. Hike the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail—stretching over 2,100 kilometres—and see St. Clair River, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Niagara Falls. Then stop at Grand Bend Beach for an internationally recognized Blue Flag experience. Back in town, campers can attend International Symphony Orchestra performances at Imperial Theatre from fall until spring, or take in the Celebration of Lights each Christmas season in Centennial Park.

Up the coast lies Pinery Provincial Park—an oak savanna and coastal dune ecosystem with extreme biodiversity among its beaches and nature trails There is year-round fishing and boating available on the lake. Campers can stay at one of many campsites in the park for both tents and RVs with electrical hookups, firepits, and picnic tables. Some waterfront campsites are also available. Then, rent kayaks and canoes to explore freshwater coastal dunes, or observe endangered animals, birds, and butterflies in their natural environments. Cabin rentals and glamping yurts with bunk beds and air conditioning can also be reserved on site for an enhanced experience.

A.W. Campbell Conservation Area

Family oriented and pet friendly, A.W. Campbell Conservation Area is just 40 minutes east of Sarnia. This reservoir conservation area is part of the St. Clair River watershed system and offers watersport activities like swimming and boating all summer long. Hike nature trails through deciduous forests, or rent a paddleboat to explore the floodplain before retiring to campsites with full hookups, modern restrooms, and laundry facilities. Campers can also enjoy biking trails along Morrough Creek to see more natural trees and wildflowers.

Grand Bend Beach is a Blue Flag designation for sustainability, education, and safety. The beach itself also has a free lending program for amphibious wheelchairs. Nearby, private campgrounds offer cabin, RV, and glamping campsites close to the water and include modern amenities like air conditioning. Or rent one of two dune cottages available on the beach.

Sometimes, lake effect can bring snow in winter. But with a yearly average snowfall of only 112 centimeters, year-round camping is still optimal in the area.
