Nurturing the adventurous spirit through, Community, Local Food, and Live Music in Northern Michigan, Backyard Burdickville is a special place just outside of Empire, MI offering camping, Live Music, The Lively Farm, and NeighborFood Market. Visitors can explore the beauty of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore by day and our starry landscape by night. Our 40x50 rustic campsites offer a picnic table, and about half are equipped with Fire Pits w/ Screens. Potable water hydrants and clean, regularly serviced porta-johns are available. Sites can accommodate small campers and camper vans but are not equipped for large RVs or motorhomes. If you are looking to park your larger camper vehicle or trailer, and need electricity, let us know as we do have a few larger sites with access to standard power outlets and can accommodate a larger camper. We do not have septic hook-ups, but can help you arrange a clean out from our portajohn servicer. However, out of respect for fellow campers, we do not allow generators in our campground. We aim to be family friendly! We want you to have fun, but please respect your neighbors. Quite Hours: 10pm-7am, 11-8am on Saturdays. If you need anything while you're here, we make every effort to be available onsite in the camp office (the small camper behind the wood) daily 12-4pm, and by phone, the number will be listed at our office onsite. Please send us a message if you have any questions or need anything during your stay! Address: 3805 W Empire HWY, Empire MI, 49630

Site 3 | Morning Shade w/ 🔥 Pit
10 Stars
Loved the property. I stayed here years ago before they had official camp sites through my buddy Jim. It was great being back and seeing the property built out. The market was super convenient with all the necessities! Local meat and produce for the win! The Milky Way was looking extra good from my rooftop tent! I’ll definitely be returning.

Site 21 | ✨ Gazing | w/ 🔥 Pit
The campsite was perfect, very clean, and easy! We felt very safe and stargazing was an added treat. The other campers were quiet and respectful and the port-a-potties were very clean. It is a short drive to the Sleeping Bear sand dunes which made our trip so much easier. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

We LOVED the BIG SKY, friendly Host and fresh air. Port-a-potties were very clean. It was fun but fresh produce for our day and my husband even got a cinnamon roll for breakfast w\coffee

Site 33 | The Arthur
Loved staying at The Arthur. Perfect accommodations for 2 people + 1 cat. The on-site store was very convenient for firewood, food, and preservatives. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away for a weekend.

Site 7 | Morning Shade w/ 🔥 Pit
Everything was wonderful and exactly what we needed! Everyone was friendly, there’s a cute little market on premises, and it’s close to the Dunes so we could get there early before any crowds.

Very clean campground and gracious hosts! Loved the store. Will be back, especially for last minute trips. Closer to the road than I would like, but for the price and location, you can’t beat it
