This fun property is just under 7 acres - butted up to another 12 acres of public land (and boat launch) with trails, boardwalk and a dock on 51 acre Lake Eleven. The property is shared by (2) full-hook up RV sites and a cabin. If available, the cabin and sites may be rented together however the owners, Jim and Maria, use the cabin much of the summer leaving just the RV sites available. The property is at mile market 13 of the Kal-Haven Trail - the midpoint. The Kal-Haven Trail is a biking, cross-country skiing, walking, running, snowmobiling - you name it, the trail that goes 34 miles from Kalamazoo to South Haven. Literally steps from the property and you are on the trail. But you may not need to leave the property, with 6.3 acres of woods and field, with trail cut through PLUS the added public lands butted up to Tincan's property line, giving almost 20 acres to roam. Each RV site - far enough apart to be separate, close enough if you and friends/family want to camp together, has a fire pit and fireplace. Each RV site offers water, 30|50AMP electrical and septic. The dock may have availability for keeping you boat - please inquire. There are kayaks and some bikes (mostly teen and adult size) that may be used. These are shared amenities for the cabin and campsite guests and offered on a first come, first serve basis. There are surprises galore around the property; big foots to be found tucked around the property, games, and overall just a fun place to be. This was a run-down fishing cabin Jim and Maria lovingly brough back to life as a second home and they delight in sharing it. Jim often referred to it as "The Tincan" while working on it as it was - indeed, a tin shack and the name stuck. Kate, your booking coordinator, helps Jim and Maria tend to the administrative side of getting the property booked and keeping the details in order. Once booked you'll get contact info for Kate, who will take care of most communications and logistics, and Jim/Maria who will also be available to help as needed.

Tincan RV Campsite 1
This was our very first camping trip with a brand new trailer. We never have had to hook up to the water, electric, and sewer! Everything went perfect! We really enjoyed Tin Man Camp. It was small enough for us to feel very comfortable with everything. We spent at least an hour just sitting and enjoying the peaceful lake and then rode bikes along the Kal-Haven trail. We will definitely be back next summer! Site 1 is a little unlevel but it was great practice for us to learn from!

Tincan Cabin
Fun stay for the whole family
The Tincan Cabin is an amazing stay. I went with my wife, our toddler, and dog. There were three bedrooms, so we could give our kid his own room. The cabin had a lot of amenities, from an arcade machine with a ton of games to a full kitchen, and even a bidet. Outside the cabin we had a grill and fire pit which were great. The walk to the lake was lovely with signs of early autumn. The property has lots of space so there is plenty of room with the RV spots. The location of the cabin made for short trips to Holland and South Haven. We were also really close to Virtue Cider. Highly recommend staying here.
