1 night at "Elysium Heritage Farm"

I’’ve stayed at few hip camps and it always surprises me at how hospitable the hosts are and all of the extras an amenities that they offer. There is quite a bit of expense and time and effort that goes into creating a great place to stay, maintaining an on going camp and providing a camp that is coarse and set up to go when you arrive. The level of preparation and provision certainly exceeded my expectations. From the amount of and quality of hardwood wood provided, including kindling, was a great value. The prep area, trashcan, take, table cloth on the picnic table, and a clean outhouse and general tradition meds of the drive and area were all greatly appreciated. The place is a work in progress and I lol forward to what it becomes. I stayed in the vines sight because h a a camper of sorts. The cabin on the little pond looks very cool and would be a great place to hang out with friends and family.. Very interesting place to explore. The little pond with canal that connects the big pond is a pretty cool feature, along with the covered bridge. The animals an the farm were also pretty cool. The farm site is very inventive and also seems like a great spot to hang out with F&F. Definitely one of the hippest hip camps and worth a visit!

Weekend Trip to Be Wild and Free

Super simple directions. Wide open land. We had to fight of the raindrops, but there were a couple dry”er” spots available. Saw a handful and sandhill cranes, deer and turkeys!

4 nights at "Elysium Heritage Farm"

We had an absolute blast, even though the weather wasn't exactly perfect! Honestly, I can't complain at all – our spot was simply stunning, and Kim, our host, was incredibly accommodating. We spent our days wandering through the woods while the kids joyfully played with the goats. The campground was set up beautifully and offered a nice private retreat for us to unwind. Evenings were magical as we roasted marshmallows around the campfire, sharing laughs and stories. One morning, I was thrilled to spot a family of deer gracefully moving through the trees during my walk. It was such a serene experience, and we all agreed that we would love to return for another adventure!

Hi, everyone. This isn't a camping 🏕️ ground's it's a magical forest:) this was the best experience of my life. I felt so safe and warm. The trees are beautiful. The animals, were so kind but they kept a safe distance. The outhouse was super clean. I had a hard time setting up my tent and the staff,were super cool, they help us set up camp. I literally can't express, the experience. Go visit. My children were safe. No hazards or lose trees. There lays a beautiful trail perfectly detailed. I wished, I actually, lived at this, campground. It was like the trees were protecting our from the nasty outside world. We forgot about everything bad. I have never gotten better sleep in my life. I give this place 5 starts. A+ ++

1 night at Footsteps From Frankenmuth

Great cozy tent spot! Couldn’t have asked for more - Robert was a great host. Will stay again!

7 nights at Footsteps From Frankenmuth

What a great deal! Robert was supremely conscientious, meeting us the first night for a very late check in, and setting us up with the solo stove. When it snowed he promptly kept the way out well cleared. Spot was quiet and calm, in a well treed nook towards the back of the property. For a traveler there’s not much better. I felt safe and that my needs were considered. A very pleasant experience. I’m sure I’ll be back next time I’m in town!
