Instant bookings will resume in springtime with upgraded amenities and sites. ----------------------------- ANNOUNCEMENT: Thank you all for an amazing (unofficial) first season at Hostel SoHa. As anyone who has stayed has learned, we have been working tirelessly on opening up bunk rooms, showers, a kitchen, new and improved common spaces, and more. We look forward to you seeing all our incredible progress when we officially open in the spring.

Pros & Cons

Pros: the hosts and other guests were really cool and the firepit and benches and indoor bathroom were nice Cons: you cant tell from the pictures but its right next to a pretty busy road so didn’t feel as naturey as what we were looking for But if youre looking for a cheap place to stay in south haven & meet some cool people this is a great option!

Site was great for car camping - just parked in the lot and slept in my car. It was great to have a nice bathroom available whenever I needed it! And the location is great, under 10min from South Haven and the beach. The host and other visitors were very kind, and there were multiple opportunities for social events - unfortunately I couldn't participate much this time because I was busy with other plans. Overall, a lot of value for such a small price!
