4 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · MI11/3/2024 The camping season is now officially over at Our Place. Thank you for all those who chose to stay with us! We're happy you were able to experience the beauty of our property and enjoy the privacy. We look forward to another great season in the spring of 2025. Depending on the weather situation and when spring decides to actually arrive to our neck of the woods, will determine the official opening day. We're targeting end of March for the Walk-In site and mid-April for the other 3 RV/Tent sites. Have a great upcoming Holiday Season. SEE YA IN THE SPRING.
