Camp Darling

3 sites · Tents120 acres · Cheboygan, MI
We will be opening back up May 15th 2023! This beautiful 120 acre property was once an active gravel pit. When the original owner purchased it, he wanted ponds. He accomplished his goal and started a gravel pit business by selling the material that was dug up. This resulted in three gorgeous ponds that are now happily inhabited by ducks, turtles, herons, cranes, and the occasional bald eagle when we're lucky! It is completely surrounded by state land with many trails throughout the property. Camp Darling was purchased by us in July 2020 with the intention of creating a homestead, conservatory, and campground so that we could share the magic of this place with others. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent on a beautiful, private campsite that is situated deep in our forest trails. Located on a 120 acre property surrounded by state land, you will be immersed in nature but conveniently located near town. The campsites are a few minute walk from our main house, and each site a one to two minute walk from each other - so you can expect complete privacy, but also available hosts if you need us! You can text or call us anytime. You will have to park and walk a few minutes to your site. There is a large open field available for parking near the trail entrance, we will have it clearly marked with a sign (It's also marked on the map: see photos). Each site has a pop-up tent bathroom - disposable bags are provided, a sandy spot for a tent, a fire ring, and plenty of firewood that could be collected at each site. We have a beautiful pond to view, and groomed trails you can explore. We have a well spigot available for running water, but you must filter it yourself for drinking.  You are expected to pack everything out and leave no trace. Our property is only 10 minutes from Mackinaw City, which offers many activities and good food options - also 10 minutes from downtown Cheboygan, which has a  Walmart and also a few food options and bars.

Accessible with any vehicle. The property is located right off U-23, 7 Miles from Mackinaw City. Bring your bikes and ride from camp to Mackinaw City (7-8 miles) on the Northeastern Bike Trail. The Barbara Hoffius Nature Preserve is only a half-mile away and has great trails to the beach. These simple campsites are PACK IN PACK OUT. We don’t have any services. There is the Mackinaw Straits roadside park one mile west which has well water and a public bathroom. Table and chairs and a fire pit are provided. Feel free to scavenge for deadfall firewood. Please don’t cut any trees down for any reason. Also, check with the DNR for fire risk. Do not burn during high risk of fire. The location can't be beaten, if you want to visit the Mackinaw Area but need space from the crowds. It will not disappoint.

Smith Kolodziej Bois Blanc Island

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Bois Blanc Island, MI
It's on a semi-private island that you need to take a ferry to. You can booking though Plaunt Transportation or Google Bois Blanc Island Ferry(This is separate from our campsite and we have no control over the ferry!-reservations are highly recommend). It's a fun ride however. It's 2 Block from Lake Huron. You have access to Lake Huron via a public park and 6 inland lakes(the only sandy beach is 2 miles away(just before our campsite) called Snow Beach)). There are only 70 ish permanent residents but it can have as many as 3000 on any given week. There are next to no retail shops however the local grocery store in Cheboygan will send boxes over on the ferry for a small charge. You really should be prepared for your trip in advance. The property is located 5 miles from the dock so an easy bike ride and reservations are not required for the ferry for bikes. Fires are permitted after a call to the local volunteer fire dept. You will need 3-5 gallons buckets which are supplied if no one has borrowed them. We have a friend on the island that may be able to assist but he is retired and he lives on the mainland. Contact us 1st before you book if you think you will need assistance. Since we live in Florida. We offer this property, as we use it very little and it's a fantastic place that will bring long term family and couple memories for years. Mackinac Island can be seen from the North End of the island. The water in Lake Huron is crystal clear and great for swimming and other water sports. You can see 30ft down easily.

Pine Oaks Lodge Cabin and Bunkhouse

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Hillman, MI
Pine Oaks Lodge is a cute vintage cabin on the edge of the Atlanta State Forest, right near the trailhead connecting you to endless miles of riding, hiking, biking, and exploring. The lodge feels secluded, but is only 3 miles from the village of Hillman, Michigan and 23 miles from the city of Alpena (Thunder Bay and Lake Huron) There is plenty to explore in the immediate area, and endless opportunities for day trips from this comfy homebase. The cabin was built in 1959 and retains much of its original charm. Pine Oaks is great for a quiet, unplugged retreat, or a home base for hunters, fisherman, mushroom hunters, birdwatchers, etc. Our adorable bunkhouse out back serves as a third bedroom for guest, a favorite get-away for older kids on the family trip. This is dark sky country, so build a fire in the fire pit and wait for the Milky Way to appear.

Camp 437 in the Sturgeon Valley

5 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Vanderbilt, MI
We book only 2 sites at a time on our 40 acre property so you can enjoy a more secluded experience in the woods. Our property is undeveloped, so you will need to bring drinking water, but there's no need to worry about finding firewood before your arrive as we supply you with a free bundle waiting for you when you get here! There are 1 1/2 miles of marked, wooded trails that will guide you to the river's edge where you can enjoy the beauty and wildlife along the West Branch of the Sturgeon River. It will feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere, yet the convenience of the small town of Vanderbilt is just three miles away. We are located just three miles off of I-75. The larger town of Gaylord is only a 15 minute drive south. There's lots to do here in beautiful Northern Michigan! Only a few miles from our camp you can go for a swim at Thumb Lake Park or take a bike ride along the North Central State Trail in Vanderbilt. Drive 15 minutes north and you can canoe or kayak the main branch of the Sturgeon River in Wolverine. There are many great hiking trails in the Pigeon River State Forest and the North Country National Scenic Trail is only 6 miles away. This 40 acre parcel has been in our family since the 1950s. My grandparents originally designated it as a tree farm and planted and harvested lumber from it. As a boy scout leader, my grandfather hosted many boy scout troops here and even hosted a boy scout Jamboree in the 1970s. Back then the property was referred to as the "Tree Farm", but after my husband John and I inherited it in 2014 we started calling it Camp 437. Before we inherited the property we spent time camping there and building trails. One of the trails we built was named the "Burns Trail" in honor of my grandparents. Since we acquired the property we have added a one mile loop that circles the perimeter of the property, and a total of about 1 1/2 miles of trail.

The best camping near Hoeft State Park guide

Overview

About

Biking, fishing, hunting, hiking, skiing... who could ask for anything more? Regardless, there is more: Hoeft State Park not only provides 300 acres of sandy coastline and wooded beauty for the outdoor activities you love, but its proximity to Lake Huron gives you a break from the usual extreme temperatures of the Midwest. With miles of trails, including a bike path that lands you first in nearby Rogers City, then at the site of the world’s largest open-pit limestone quarry, it’s an awesome place for wandering and sightseeing. Located at the upper end of Michigan, Hoeft is a convenient camping spot for those looking to explore islands in the nearby Straits of Mackinac.

When to go

The best time to visit Hoeft State Park is during the warm summer months, from June to August, when the park is in full bloom and the lake's waters invite for a swim. Spring and fall offer quieter visits with cooler weather, while winters can be harsh with limited access.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to pack appropriately for Michigan's variable climate.
  • Ensure you have a Recreation Passport for park entry; it's required for all visitors.
  • Trail maps are available online; download one to plan your hikes in advance.
  • For safety, always hike with a companion and inform someone of your itinerary.
  • Accessible facilities are available, but it's best to confirm ahead for specific needs.
