Tents (glamping) and yaks
Such a fun campsite! We had a super comfortable tent with a bed. The host was welcoming and everyone was respectful. The yaks were so fun to watch. I will return.

Great hospitality. They didn't mind my early arrival. There were some bugs out there but the quality of the firewood provided is amazing and made a good smelling campfire, driving the insects away. The site is very secluded from the main property and is shaded round the clock.

Swimming Pond was delightful!
I really loved the swimming pond which was right next to the site. The campsite is pretty private but do expect a little road noise here and there. Close to Ann Arbor or South Lyon. I would return.

We thoroughly enjoyed camping on Justin's land and experiencing the farm. The Yak's were very cool to visit and we loved swimming in the natural pond right by our site!

Justin's property is so beautiful and inclusive -- I found the drive in and up to my site to be easy. It's great to be able to park right next to the site so that hauling gear takes little time. The tent is so clean and comfortable. I slept like a baby in the bed provided. I was surprised to find a plugged in extension cord with multiple outlets next to the bed, which is perfect for charging your phone or plugging in a fan. I got to meet two of the rescue yaks, Merry and Pippin. They were big sweethearts -- basically just great big kitty cats that nuzzled my hands and legs when I greeted them. Justin is very responsive to questions and does what he can to make you feel at home. I'm a solo female camper and felt totally comfortable being there. The site is not far from necessities should you need them. I recommend Edith's market.
Some things to know while planning your stay: Do keep in mind that this is a homestead where people come and go, though you are left alone in your own space if you want to be an introvert like me. You are also close enough to roads that you will hear traffic noise, which decreases during the night. Other campsites are not visible from your tent ...you do have a view of the main property across the road that leads into and through the homestead. These are important things to note for those looking for a more isolated site. I loved my stay and would love to return in the future. Visit the yaks!

I had a very nice time camping on this sweet little Farm with yaks. Who doesn't like Yaks? The owners were kind, introduced themselves and then left me to enjoy my little secluded spot on my own. I really liked how close you are to Ann Arbor, yet you don't feel close at all. The cell connection here was great. I found several parks with lakes and hikes within 30 miles including the Pinckney Recreation Area. This was a great value.
