Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Vacation close to the seashore when you stay at our campsite in Covert/South Haven. Make memories lounging on the sandy shores, exploring downtown attractions, touring lighthouses and splashing in the ocean waves. Our campsite is also near Silver Beach County Park, named one of the top 10 beaches in the United States. Staying near Lake Michigan beaches is ideal whether you are looking for a romantic getaway for couples, a fun trip with friends or an exciting family camping experience. Relax with beautiful views overlooking orchards and vineyards in what is referred to as the Napa Valley of the Midwest. Taste old-fashioned goodness with homemade fresh pies made from Southwest Michigan fruit farms and farmer's markets, offering pick-your-own seasonal peaches, apples, raspberries and more. If you love blueberries, you will not want to miss the National Blueberry Festival in South Haven with blueberry pancake breakfasts and pie-eating contests. Other local events include Harborfest in downtown South Haven where locals gather for live music, dancing, rides, games and delicious food vendors. The annual Biketober Festival celebrates Michigan's great harvest season with bikes, fruits and wine. Our campsite offers a peaceful location to gather for family activities around the campfire and enjoy a delicious BBQ and s'mores, take part in a card game or watch the activities on the lake. Traditional tent camping provides an outdoorsy experience with stargazing and falling asleep to the sound of nature. Ready to plan your South Haven camping trip! Your adventure awaits.One beautiful acre that features a large clearing for camping and a large wooded backdrop and driveway. The location conveniently located minutes away from the nearby beaches and state parks.

The site wasn’t anything exciting. The positive is that it’s practically right off the highway so if you’re just staying for a quick night, which is what we did, then it’s great. We got there around 11pm but if we had gotten there any sooner, I would have been extremely disappointed. The area it’s self felt like a small ditch in the side of the road and we could hear the highway most of the night. Not really the fault of the host but just the reality of what you’ll face if booked. We weren’t bothered and we would have been able to have a fire if we were there earlier. Overall, a decent quick stay

The site was relatively quiet considering it was right off a highway - no complaints. There are more saplings planted than the pictures show, making for more obstacles for a vehicle, as well as one big widowmaker (dead tree) that needs to come down, given that it could fall on 80% of the entire camp site. Also, no picnic table on site despite listing such in the description; tried to message the host via text, never received a response. If you’re looking for a site to enjoy camping, I’d recommend spending a few more dollars for another site.

Nice surprise
Actually a very quiet spot and great for tenting. I had no issues and it was very quiet with only several cars going by the whole time I was there. The owner mowed it right before I got there which was nice. I think it is more of a place to camp and sleep than spend a long time at.

Ask about proximity to neighbors
Charles was great. I ended up not being able to use the site, so he worked with me to get a refund. He was very responsive and respectful, and after we exchanged messages through Hipcamp, I ended up booking the site again. It really is beautiful, secluded and VERY close to Lake Michigan. Next time I want to camp near the Lake, I'll definitely be hipcamping at Charles' spot.

We just needed a place to sleep for one night on our way to another destination. charles' place was perfect. It was easy to find. It was right off the road but the road was not a busy one so it was quiet. We parked at the back of the space so we were not visible to the neighbors. And the price was great.
