Unforgettable Location & Host :-)
This edit is to be continued....but let me just say that my best friend Dominic and I were FLOORED by the natural beauty of this forest. Waking up every morning, the air sounded like a timeless ocean, caressing our tent and eardrums.
Anita greeted us with a smile and a helping hand - providing us with a wagon, tour of the grounds, tips, a tour guide, and answered any questions we had and thensome. She was friendly, and her dog was also friendly, not to mention adorable. We even met Miss Clara, her chicken, who lays an egg every day for breakfast!
Overall, both this location and host could not be topped. FYI: You're in a forest, this is a rustic experience, but even better because a quick 5 minute walk away and Anita is there to lend you so many things you may have forgotten - she even has a charging station for electronics!
I'll be uploading our striking pictures - worth every bit of the 7.5 mile drive from Ann Arbor. Highly recommend to anyone, including UM students and Ann Arbor locals.

Beautiful Wilderness Escape
I highly recommend Anita's property if you want to enjoy a beautiful, rustic escape into the outdoors. I read the negative review below and decided to take it with a grain of salt. Based on our stay, I would say their experience is an outlier.
Anita was courteous and made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed at campsite 1 which is a good distance from the other campsites. It is a little bit closer to the cabin that Anita and Art were staying in, but we still had plenty of privacy. Although, most mornings we could expect a welcome visit from Anita's chicken, Clara or dog, Roscoe 😊.
Campsite 1 was the perfect size for my boyfriend and me to comfortably set up a large tent and have use of an outhouse, large fire pit, refrigerator, and electrical hookups. And we loved the breathtaking views of the starry night sky after returning from long days of hiking around Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, which was just a short drive away.
I would stay here again and would recommend this site to campers that want a rustic experience to enjoy Upper Michigan. Anita also mentioned that the cabin on campsite 1 is being renovated and should be available for rent in the future. I would definitely check it out!

The campground is less than 20 minutes to Munsing downtown. Super convince. It's very quiet and private as well. Anita is very nice and hospitality. It was chilling and cold when we were there. She tells us we can use the heater. We feel warm and like be at home. Definitely will come back and looking forward the new cabin she is working on.

Magical Woods!
We had a group of three and stayed on campsite #1. It was a great experience. The morning check ins from Anita were great and we loved the recommendations. We had a great hike on the Chapel Rock hike about 20-30 min away and had a great dinner at Camel Riders about 30 min away. It was so quiet and dark at night. We really enjoyed our time here and look forward to coming back! All the campsites were booked and this was a last minute booking and it by far exceeded our expectations and it was our favorite campsite during our whole trip! Thanks Anita!!!

A great Labor Day weekend in 2020
Anita was a wonderful host. She communicated with me right from the beginning. My friends and I had an amazing time during our stay.
The place is very remote and great for camping and connecting with nature. The location is great to go and drive to several nature hikes.
Anita treated us like family and made sure that we had a great time. Not only did she do that but she gave us great recommendations of activities to do around the area. Her property is truly a paradise. She is focused on making sure that every group of campers have their privacy and are taken care.
She has chicken eggs and firewood that make it even better.
I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a place in nature to disconnect and have a great time.
