Private spring-fed ponds that are perfect for swimming, fishing, hiking, relaxing and exploring. Bonus --> Only 20 minutes from Frankenmuth! We have docks, a small beach, trails, large playset and half size basketball court. Oh, and we have a family of beaver that live in 5 foot tall lodge that you can spy on as they travel at dusk and dawn looking for that perfect tree to chop down. We have life jackets in several sizes, but feel free to bring your own if you like. The ponds are 28ft max depth. Kayaks, paddle boards, row boat are available to rent. (10$ per day each or 25$ per stay each) We're sorry, but outside such items are NOT permitted in order to minimize the risk of zebra mussel exposure, etc. Electrical outlets are available to charge phones in an outbuilding if needed. We have a flock of about 20 friendly ducks and geese that travel the property. You may feed them frozen green peas if you would enjoy that but nothing else please. For the safety of our feathered friends and the abundant wildlife we cannot permit pets. An easy 1hr-1hr 45min drive from various Detroit metro locations, 30-40 minutes north of Flint, 30-40 min east of Saginaw and 20 minutes from Michigan’s Little Bavaria, Frankenmuth.Camp on our breathtaking private hill with amazing 360 views of large ponds and woodlands. A bench, picnic table, fire ring and trash bin are on your campsite. Awesome wildlife to spot like deer, turkey, mink, beaver, eagles, hawks, cranes, herons, swans, etc and dependent on migration. Great fishing. Kayaks, SUPs available with life jackets for 15$ each/per day or 30$ each/per stay. We have 2 adult kayaks, 2 youth and 3 SUPs available. A Rowboat is available at 25$ per/day or 50$ per stay. Max of 50$ per stay. Be sure to request them as availability is limited. Sorry, NO outside boats, kayaks etc are allowed to keep invasive aquatic species at bay. Also, No hunting and no pets. We have domestic ducks and geese that grace the waters and other friendly animals who won’t appreciate four legged campers. You may also use our basketball court and large wooden playscape.

Great weekend getaway

Tent

I stayed 2 nights at Matt’s campground, and my girlfriend and I had a blast! Matt and his wife were very friendly and communicative so all of our questions were answered. The campsite is very private and the property is stunning and peaceful. We were about a 20 minute drive from downtown Frankenmuth, which made it very easy to walk around and explore during the day. There is also a small market about 5 minutes from the campsite that serves delicious sausages and meats! Would happily stay here again!
