Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.
Pull off the blacktop onto the grassy drive running through the field and forest. The sites are just off of the road, and minutes from lots of local culture and recreation. We do have two sites available, but we'll only take one booking at a time. So, you'll have the area to yourself and your choice of campsites. Groups that add up to at least 8 people to the booking can use both sites. The clearing is about an acre and is surrounded by forest. Our home is next door, but you have your own drive.Pull off the blacktop onto the grassy drive running through the field and forest. The site is private, but just minutes from lots of local culture and recreation.  The clearing is right off of the road, is about half an acre, and is surrounded by forest.  The campsite is approximately 30 ft long and 20 ft deep.

Loved this spot! Easy to find, clean, in a great location, yet felt private. Aaron was friendly and easy to work with. Would love to come back!

We had a great time at this private little spot starting a fire with the wood provided and letting our cat walk around

Such a great experience!

This campsite was perfect for what we were looking for. It’s private, right outside of Saugatuck and they even had firewood for us to use! Aaron was super responsive and was there to help if we needed anything. We will be back!

Hidden drive is a hidden Gem!
22 ft travel trailer
Hidden drive is a quaint, quiet, cute little location close to Douglas, Saugaturk MI so its well suited to enjoy Lake Michigan shoreline. It's close to beaches, interesting sites by bicycle or a short drive and the bigger town of Holland is only 20mins away. We really enjoyed the area and the site and plan on returning again next year. Thank you for having this little gem available Aaron !!!

Loved the location/privacy
16 ft car · Group trip
Loved the location of this spot, we were so close to town. Aaron only rents the 2 sites out to 1 party at a time, which was such a pleasant change from the parking lot camping experience you get at most campgrounds. The water onsite was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again
