super peaceful secluded spot
if you want a private and secluded spot to stay, this place is perfect. me and my boyfriend were the only people camping on the property during the first week of august (usually crazy busy) so it was really nice. for anyone thatâs confused, just pick out your spot on the property where you want to camp, thereâs no assigned spots (that was a point of confusion for us). seriously was a great spot for a long weekend.

Quiet Base Camp
This camp site was awesome. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then itâs for you. The host stopped by and showed us around. He made sure we had everything we needed and knew how to access the water. Also had the cleaned porta potty around! Our girls (5 & 8) loves exploring the property and trails. If youâre looking for something different, this campsite is for you. We used it as a base camp to explore the area. We will stay here again!

Me and my family brought a tent to camp here, and we had a great time. This spot is definitely more for those looking for a secluded spot to stay while you enjoy what the area has to offer. We ended up using our space as a home base when we wanted to rest in between going to the beaches and small towns around the area, and for that it was perfect. There were nice trails that we didn't get to explore too much, but as far as tent camping I'd expect to camp about where we were.
Robert (the owner) kept the area clean. The on site toilet was kept clean, and the paths to the various different areas were kept short.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a home base to enjoy what Northern Michigan has to offer!

At the time, what we needed.
Read the reviews to make sure this cool spot is for you. There are no designated spots. Thereâs a super clean portapotty. Itâs beautiful and quiet. You show up and find your spot, respectfully. There is a water spigot. There is drop cords to plug in.
We had been in a campground for a week, so this beautiful, peace and quiet was just what was needed. I did panic a little at first, as I wasnât sure what to do. So I looked at everyoneâs pictures to figure it out.
The owner stopped by to see if we had questions, even on July 4th. It is very close to Sleeping Bear and right near Empire Bluff. Thatâs what we needed.
The value was the location and the quiet. If it were $30, it would probably be crowded overused.

A quiet place to relax
Beautiful place to camp. After reading the other reviews this place was exactly as described despite other reviews from people who donât know how to camp apparently. Plenty of Places to hook into power and water but no campsites necessarily. A beautiful farm/Orchard with miles of UTV trails that the host left open for us to use. We parked our class A near the barns which arenât far from a paved road that gets minimal traffic even on a weekend in June. We used our UTV to ride the backroads and find some beaches and trails to explore of which there are many in the area. It was the weekend we needed. The host stopped to check on us once and then left us be which was perfect for us. Super nice guy who left us to enjoy the place as our own. Itâs not a campground. If you want a campground, this place and this app probably arenât for you and a lot of reviews seem to be skewed with people who need their hand held and seemingly think this is one of those places. We thoroughly enjoyed our family time away from the masses of people. This place was right up our alley and I would highly recommend it for a quiet weekend.

Very few amenities, but who cares. The solitude and serenity was amazing. Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and a short drive to Traverse City. It was the last of four different camping destinations spread over ten days. What a relaxing spot to unwind before heading back to work. We will definitely return.
