Welcome to your beautiful base camp to explore all the best that Northern Michigan has to offer! You'll have 7 acres of land all to yourself, with a combination of pine and maple forests, located across from thousands of acres of State land with many snowmobile trails. Bring your bikes and head 1 mile on our dirt road to the Betsie River Trail where you can bike to Crystal Lake in 30 minutes. We're so close to Crystal Lake, Frankfort, Empire, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, wine country, and many wonderful bars and restaurants. We're more than happy to send you recommendations of what to do, eat, and drink during your stay! We have a covered picnic area, campfire ring, and basic pit toilet on site, with water and electricity coming soon, but be prepared to bring what you need and please take everything you bring with you :) We can tell you where to get water nearby if needed. We welcome both tents and RVs on our land, and are happy to accommodate larger groups for an additional fee.A nice level clearing right when you enter our property, this is currently our only site available so you'll have the whole property to yourself! Right across from thousands of acres of state land and down the road from the Betsie River Trail which makes it a perfect spot for cyclists :) Site includes a picnic shelter with picnic table, wood burning stove, fire ring, and a basic pit toilet. You can feel free to camp anywhere in this area. Please note, we have added a small new cabin to the site, but there is not currently guest access.

Great location, Eleanor was very responsive when asking questions. The car port with the wood stoves is a great touch adding comfort regardless rain or shine. The driveway is a little bit hidden from the road and a little rough that may pose issues for low riding cars. We personally liked that it was a little hidden two track with lots of privacy to the point we ended up staying an extra two nights. Understand improvements are in the works but we liked it the way it is. Thanks Eleanor for sharing your little oasis.

Beautiful clearing to view the Big Dipper. Nice and quiet. Firewood was a nice perk. Be careful campers where you drive, I dented up my van by hitting one of the fire rings. A few good spots for a tent. I appreciated the proximity to the Betsie Valley River Trail.

Great Trip!
We loved the campsite! It was awesome being able to pitch our tents in a private open or wooded area and feel the deep peace of being surrounded by nature. The covered area was awesome, with the wood burning stove, warming us at night and early morning. The location was perfect for exploring woods, trails, beach and even live music down the road! We loved having close access to an amazing biking trail and other great things like swimming and sightseeing through little towns and Interlochen, not too far away! Definitely will be back!
