If you have a special occasion, that calls for fresh flowers, be sure to let us know! Our setting is quiet, private and scenic. We occasionally see the Aurora Borealis right from our house. We are located in beautiful Manistee, Michigan where outdoor adventures abound!! Manistee is a peaceful, quaint Northern Michigan town with shopping, antiquing, fine dining and a River Walk.

We are within an hour of Sleeping Bear Dunes which has award winning hiking. Traverse City is 40 minutes away with many activities, especially the Cherry Festival.

China Cat Sunflower

Happy Puppy at China Cat Sunflower

Beautiful campsite! The secluded spot among the trees and down by the brook made our stay idyllic! We arrived at dark so it was a bit hard to find, but the space was perfect! The fire ring and picnic table were perfectly placed. The water source and outhouse were a bit of a hike but nestled just past a garden of gorgeous flowers! We had the entire huge grassy yard to ourselves and our dog was in heaven! While the camping property was quiet, the road noise from highways nearby was a reminder we were close enough to civilization. We look forward to returning someday!

Pine Knob

This property offers a variety of sites, many I did not get to see. The sites include a picnic table and fire ring. There is a pit toilet and access to water within 100 yards. The only knock I have is that the sites are fairly close together and don’t feel private when they are all occupied. We had a great time anyway! Camp is what you make it.

Tucker

The area was perfect for a few nights out. The stream by tucker was a big hit with the kids and hearing it at night was very peaceful. We had room to add our 2 hammocks to read and relax in. Parking and water/toilet facilities were close and in good shape. I would recommend it to others.

Fairway Pilot

Tent camping here was great! We ended up staying a second night to enjoy the land and views. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. They allowed people to move when they weren't 100% happy with the site they reserved. Even though we had neighbors the host made sure they weren't too loud for us and kept checking back to make sure we were happy. We will definitely be back often.

Bluebird

Last min change of location

We actually stayed at the Pine Knob site not Blue Bird. The campers just adjacent to Blue Bird spread themselves out and Dean let us just pick another site; Pine Knob. Pine Knob was a better choice. . Tucked in a back corner away from most other sites. You would not even know it was there unless you intentionally drove back there. It was beautiful. The ground was soft as it was covered with pine needles. The entire are smelled amazing. Our hosts was kind and even accommodated when we needed to borrow tools to fix our camp stove.

Love Dean and Jackie's place

We loved staying on dean and Jackie land. Super friendly happy people. We had a very private area. No noise from other campers. And got to experience a little wd life. Dean and Jackie have a beautiful place and kinda close to the waters. We will definitely be coming back lots.
