Northern Michigan Getaway

Fantastic place! We loved the orchard and host Dan was very accommodating he took us back to a secluded spot with lots of room. The next morning we enjoyed the fresh baked goods and may items at the farm store. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect Spot For Sleeping Bear Dune

31 ft travel trailer · With pets ·

A perfect quiet spot to visit Sleeping Bear. We also caught a fantastic sunset at Elberta Beach, just minutes from the camp spot. We stayed in our 31 travel trailer. There was plenty of room to circle our rig and back onto the gravel pad. The gravel pad was perfectly level, and the power and water hookups worked great. We'll definitely stay again if we're in the area.

As the listing says, this tent site is secluded and up a short hill. Dan provides a wagon to transport your gear easily. The outdoor shower is basic but met my needs for a hot shower in the morning! The campsite is quiet except for the occasional rooster crowing from a nearby farm. The stars are beautiful, and there is a U pick blueberry farm down the road.

Quiet and peaceful. Dan checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Loved the out door shower. Close to Fruithaven Preserve which had hiking through a beautiful forest and spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Just a few flight of stairs down and your on the beach.

This was a very pleasant site. Easy access to water and electricity. Nice new picnic table and fire pit with a cooking grate. The site was easy to locate just a couple of miles off US 31, the main road. Looking forward to a return visit next year,

It was more than I expected! Dan was an awesome host! The site was level and private. He spends 6 months out of the year traveling in a restored bus, so he set up his sites the way he would want them to be. He met me when I came in and helped me get parked. I was surrounded by forrest. He keeps fire wood, dog poop bags, fire starter ( his mother makes them out of dryer lint, toilet paper rolls and birthday candles) and packages of brochures for local attractions. He also installed an outdoor shower and porta-can for his guests. If I'm ever back in Michigan I would return to this site in a heart beat! Good job Dan, thanks for everything!

This place was amazing with the privacy we expect from a Hipcamp and all the amenities that came with it like electricity and water. Our host was super friendly and so was his dogs. Great place to stay to adventure out to the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

We enjoyed the secluded camping spot on Dan‘s property! It was exactly what we wanted and liked and worked great with a tent! Just a little removed from the other camping spot spots, but not too far away from the restroom and shower and trash. Dan was a great host and provided all the necessities… A picnic table, wood, firestarter and water spicket. We enjoyed the rural location and being out in nature! Definitely would come again if in the area.

The amenities were all as advertised. The outdoor shower was a highlight after a day of hiking. The camp site was also well spaced from the other camp sites, making it feel more private.

Great spot to camp!

I cannot recommend Dan's camp enough! He greeted me on arrival and made sure I had everything I needed each day. The outdoor shower and on-site bathroom were also incredible amenities to have. This camp experience was a 5/5 and I can't wait to get back up to Frankfort to stay again.

Our host Dan was fantastic. He’s gone above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. An outhouse, outdoor but private shower, level well maintained camp sites, electric hook ups and water hook ups are just some of the things that make your stay so fantastic. It is very peaceful and there is plenty of space to swing your camper around and back right into your spot. We really enjoyed out stay and will definitely camp here again.

Dan was a super host. He met me upon arriving and checked on me daily to ensure I had everything I needed. Dan also gave me tips for places to go in the area and provides each camper with a packet of tourist information. The site was great, plenty of room and just as described. Would definitely return.

Dan was there when we arrived and gave us a tour. It is a very quiet site with few other campers. Levels nd easy to get our 28' Airstream into. Outdoor shower with unlimited hot water is an unusual and welcome extra. We definitely will be returning as it's only two hours from our home.

Peaceful Tent Camping

We loved our stay at Dan’s tent spot! The site was spacious, private and so peaceful! It was easy getting our gear up the short hill with his wagon. The outdoor shower was AMAZING!! The location was perfect for exploring, we had easy access to sleeping bear, crystal lake and Traverse. Would definitely stay again if we make it back next summer. Thanks so much for the hospitality and sharing your land with us Dan. Oh, we also saw the biggest dandelion I’ve ever seen in my life while there too ☺️

Dan greeted us upon arrival and was very accommodating showing us around to all the amenities. First of all, outdoor shower was amazing I would prefer it over any indoor shower. It was quiet and private, also the site was easy to find. Running potable water, solar powered charging station with lights, fire pit, level area to set up tents. There is a hill you have to climb up to get to the site but Dan provides you with a wagon to haul all of your gear which was super helpful.
