This place was really great! I am so glad my travels through Michigan included a stay at Stephanie’s wonderful, natural property. The campsite itself was very nicely done and very private. I had some shade in the evening next to the trees as well as an open sky view that was great for both star gazing and Starlink. I hope to revisit next time I’m in the area.

Beautiful and peaceful

We loved our 3 night stay at Turtle Pond! It's beautiful, peaceful, and well-maintained. The mowed paths are fun to walk, and the old Finnish buildings were beautiful. Our pups were happy to be able to galavant off leash for awhile. Stephanie and Gabe were great hosts. We're hoping to return again someday.

Nice, quiet, private little oasis in a great location. Stephanie gave great directions - we had no problems even with little to no cell service. We enjoyed the trails and the proximity to many parts of the U.P. Very fairly priced & great “amenities” (privacy, pond view, trails, gravel pad, fire ring)!

The campsite was comfortable and felt private. Our kids loved exploring the pond and the trails. Stephanie and Gabe were great hosts. We hope to stay again sometime.
