Best Hipcamp in Michigan Finalist Just 20 minutes from Kitch-iti-kipi, surf camp is the quintessential U.P. hideaway. Located on Lake Michigan’s Garden Peninsula, the east-facing beach is perfect for watching sunrises with your morning coffee. Enjoy evening campfires tucked in a cedar grove or take the kayak for a paddle to have an authentic Michigan experience. Perfect for writing or meditation retreats and family getaways. Conveniently located, it's a short drive to Kitch-iti-kipi (Big Spring), Fayette State Historic Park, and an easy day trip to Marquette or Pictured Rocks in Munising. The camper on site will be locked, but feel free to tent, car camp, or bring your own RV here as well. The site includes a self-contained privy. No electricity or water hookups make this a rustic experience.✨Best Hipcamp in Michigan Finalist Located on Wiggins point on Northern Lake Michigan’s Garden Peninsula, the east-facing beach is perfect for watching sunrises with your morning coffee.

Pretty cool spot but a little spendy for off season and its proximity between two close house neighbors. provided firewood is a nice touch though.

I want to go back
The whole experience was amazing! The spot is perfect, the communication with Eli was exemplary, the peace and quiet was exactly what i expected, the fire pit area was so perfectly situated, the lake sounds were soothing and all of it makes me want to drive up from FL again so i can experience it again!

Great spot!
Perfection (see pic). Really enjoyed our stay. Eli was in contact and GPS took us straight to the location. Took trips to "Big Spring" and Pictured Rocks, but the spot was great enough just to stick around and enjoy!

Rustic Camping Full of Beauty
Have to give props to the host for quickly seeing my inquiry and accepting our reservation! From the stunning stars of the night sky that never seemed to end, to the views of the sun peaking up from Lake Michigan in the morning, it was all absolutely beautiful! We had a little difficulty finding the site, however we did come in after dark which made it a little challenging. I’m sure it’s easier during the day. Would definitely recommend camping here if you are in the area!

Calm and Quiet
Exactly as advertised, the place is an absolute slice of paradise hidden away outside of a small town down some dirt roads, navigating there was no challenge. If you feel you’ve gone the wrong way just keep going. During our 2 day stay we quickly noticed all of Eli’s recommendations were spot on, Clyde’s was a hit for adults and kids. The gas station has the cleanest restrooms around and an abundance of supplies if you happen to have forgotten anything. Firewood in the area is cheap if you buy roadside local, which I highly recommend. The only negative is in our 2 days we did pick up 3 ticks between the five of us more, don’t let that turn you away from this best of Michigan site.
