Organic Apple Orchard and Farm

This campsite is in the middle of Earth First Farms, an established certified organic apple orchard in SW Michigan.  The farm is 49 acres, with the campsite being in a soft hollow about 200 feet wide separating 2 blocks of trees.  Very quiet at night.  In the day, depending on the season, there are farm activities taking place.  Firewood is provided and fresh organic produce is available in season.  

You really couldn't ask for a more picturesque and private campsite!

We LOVED our spring camping trip on the orchard!

To get into the hollow you have to drive down a little grade, it proved very easy to get in and out though!

Enjoying the fresh air and peaceful sounds of the orchard. 

Lake Nicholas. 12 acre totally private lake with great fishing. 36 feet deep. 

Have A Lake Of Your Own!

The property was originally owned by a family name Nichols (thus the name of the lake). It was handed down to the sons who each owned half the property. The driveway down the middle of property that leads to the lake was originally a fence line that divided the two pieces of property. The brothers did not get along and their are several stories of their warring on how to maintain the property.My parents bought this piece of property in 1964 and created a camp called "Lakeside Farm Camp", a small all boys camp. The camp has gone through several changes since then but has always been owned by the Edwards family. In 1984 the name was changed to "Cedar Lodge" a coed camp that specializes in English horseback riding and offering high level general camp activities. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our totally private fresh water lake. Take your boat out for a day of fishing or just chill next to the fire.  Sites are approximately 50 feet from each other. If you want privacy we suggest you book both. 

Shower House divided into 3 sections. Each section has two toilets, two sinks and two showers with hot and cold water.

Retreat Center Campsites

The Retreat Campsites are situated on land owned by the Red Spirit Retreat Center. The beautiful wooded land is perfect for walking in. The stars are like brilliant diamonds, and in mid June the fireflies float up from the prairie into the trees by the hundreds. It is pretty quiet except for the birds and the bullfrogs and your own crackling campfire. In the spring the fruit trees can be seen blooming across the fields. Straw is grown on the neighbor's farm and cut and baled midsummer. The farm buildings are off in the distance but have gleaming white buildings and silver silos. Guests may walk wherever they like on trails or bushwhack through the forests of the Red Spirit Retreat Center.

Each campsite is unique and pretty private. While you may see other campers you probably can't hear them as they are about half a city block away through the trees. 

Staying at the Country Dome Home is an amazing experience. Located on a hill at the top of the prairie, the view of farms and forests is spectacular. To enjoy the view, the front window is 8 feet tall and 11 feet wide. The 12 foot ceiling enlarges the room tremendously. There is an awesome feeling of spaciousness. On a warm day 8 foot wide by 3 foot high screens can be opened up to let and with the screen door to let breezes blow through. The solar fan then pulls the heat right out of the roof. 

Outside there is a patio sail providing shade.  A lovely dinner can be cooked on a propane griddle while watching the view. Refurbished Jordan Brown Tamiami table and chairs and a chaise lounge provide comfortable seating. Deck chairs are out on the front deck as well. 

Sitting around the campfire is a great way to end the day.  About 9 pm hundreds or thousands of fireflies slowly make their way to the tops of the huge trees and the stars start to twinkle as the sun sets.  The birds, crickets, and bullfrogs gradually quiet down, lulling you to sleep in the most comfortable bed in the world. You feel at one with nature..   Stay at the dome in the fall or early spring and the wood stove will keep you toasty warm on chilly nights.  

Three rustic campsites with their own personalities are also on the land but hidden by trees. The Frog Pond Campsite is a in a sylvan glade next to the pond and creek, with parking immediately next to the campsite. The Edges and Deep Forest Campsites are both larger campsites that are located inside the forest near the Prairie. These sites are separated far enough apart to allow for a very private feeling. Each campsite has parking space very close by. 

All campsites have their own private composting toilets, fire pits, one bundle of wood, sanitary spray, toilet paper, and at least three gallons of water. At the Deer Blind more wood is available at the Deer Blind for $10 per bundle with Venmo or PayPal. There are two yoga mats, frisbees, bubbles, and a corn hole game for borrowing. You may request a one night stay, but it is dependent upon my availability to clean in between guests.

We hope that our guests have a truly beautiful, quiet, and relaxing stay.

Private composting toilet is for your use only. Put shavings or dirt from the tub over your waste. No smells or bugs to bother you. 

Deep Forest campsite, with private toilet, and fire pit.

Take the time to enjoy trillium closeups. P

At the Deer Blind in the Prairie, you will find corn hole, frisbee, extra wood for sale, and bubbles. 

Have some fun playing the corn hole game. It is at the deer blind.

Trillions of trillium run throughout the forest in the spring. 

Sand Lily Farms

Nature As Canvas: 
Perfect place for sunset vows with golden light and fireflies, our pastoral setting among heritage farms makes for private and peaceful with a blank canvas to create your own vision under a star filled sky. Camping events with communal firepit, parking and our covered Pavilion, that seats up to 100 guests are the highlights.  Nearby are wineries, brewery based farmsteads and the lake shore to explore. 

8 miles to Lake Michigan Beech. 5 miles to 2 wineries and a cider house. 

30 years ago this land was used to pack and store onions and carrots.

The farm hand manager lived where the barn bathroom is. The property is just south of the Allegan state game area, where mint was grown around 1900. The owner AM Todd created the double distilled mint process and sold it to Wrigley for double mint gum.

A stand of black locust trees is visible from the campsite.

Harvest the Good Farm

My family and I have lived here for 25 years. 
I grow hay and have a small orchard. 
At one point we were USDA certified organic and probably still meet the criteria. 
We like the country life and room for the animals to wander. 

Learn more about this land:

Private, Quiet, Open Vistas.  Site is out back on our property and sits between a rolling, lush hayfield and 4 acres of native wildflowers.  Dark night skies for stargazing.  No visible neighbors.

Our herd of 10 goats likes it when we get them out of their pen go for a walk.  They are very tame and like to be near people.

A proud little brown-eyed Susan in the pollinator habitat (Bee Sanctuary) which I seeded with 19 species of native wildflowers and grasses.

Fire ring at the campsite.  There is abundant deadwood available that I am happy to supply for you.

View is to the South.  Campsite is area in foreground up to the tall vegetation in the upper left.  Beyond that is a hay field and then my woods,
