Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

This is a beautiful piece of property. Earl & Lisa laid it all out very well. The sites are just close enough to the toilet and shower house. The hand/dishwashing station has hot and cold water. It was also easy to access the water station to put water in our container to add to our travel trailer. Subtle solar lighting is a great touch to keep you out of the pond at night and also makes the area look magical at night. Plenty of wildlife to delight the senses, too. We lacked nothing on our first solar-powered camping adventure thanks to the hospitality of our wonderful hosts. We even had a cozy fire ring to enjoy as the deer and The Pink Moon came out. Easy access... CLEAN... SAFE... Relaxing... If you have the chance, you should stay here!

Weekend Trip to The Haven with 5 Camp sites

Very since camping area, great communication from host. Kid friendly spot.

1 night at Blooming Bus Farms

Great experience and a fun place to stay. We had some pretty strong storms roll through during our stay. We stayed warm and dry in our yurt. Our weiner dog had fun too.

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

What a neat place so close to the city. I’ll be back..

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

Had a great time “glamping” at the blooming bus farm! My fiancé and I came from Chicago for a weekend away and it was perfect. The farm itself is super cute and the campsites are cozy. It rained most of our 2nd day, but we set up a table in the heated tent to play games which was perfect. Definitely recommend for a weekend away!

3 nights at The Haven with 5 Camp sites

This spot is just amazing. Could not recommend more. Pat and Brian were especially lovely hosts. Kayaks, wood, privacy, it’s a great spot.

2 nights at Blooming Bus Farms

Perfect warm bungalow for a family of 4! Melissa was quick to respond to any request. Stars were beautiful at night and the site had everything we needed for a couple days unplugged. It got VERY cold at night so another space heater would be nice for winter camping. Heated blankets were incredibly warm and comfortable…kids loved them! Definitely want to come back in the summer to see the blooming bus! Wonderful stay and first winter “glamping” experience with the kids!

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

It was such a warm welcome coming to Blooming Bus! Melissa was so kind and informative when it came to the animals. We had such a nice stay.

3 nights at Blooming Bus Farms

This trip was absolutely lovely. The hosts were very kind, and I loved getting to hang out with the alpacas and dogs. There's just enough trees and brush to make the trip feel decently secluded, but it's close enough to two towns to make groceries, antiquing, and errands easy. There's also some lakes to visit in summer. We went at the end of winter with our cat, and we can't wait to return when all the flowers and leaves are out.

1 night at Gun Smoke Ranch

Several camp spots with easy to follow signs to find them the moment you pull into the driveway. We felt isolated and alone, which was nice. John stopped by at some point to make sure we had everything we needed

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

I booked a very last minute stay and they were able to accommodate me. Gorgeous farm, extremely friendly host, and very cosy yurt. It was 32 degrees when I booked but I was able to stay warm all night

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

Beautiful place! I definitely want to go back when it's nicer!

1 night at Gun Smoke Ranch

Such a nice couple! They really introduced us to the American culture and we’re helpful in any way. Nice surroundings, would defo stay here again.

1 night at Blooming Bus Farms

A quick stay but what a beautiful property! I had a great evening stroll, and noticed all of the unique ways to stay and enjoy the land! Hope to be back next time my travels take me this way.

1 night at Blooming Bus Farms

Super charming and cozy glamping setup with everything you need. Beautiful property. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

We had a wonderful stay at Blooming Bus Farms. This was our second time visiting the heated yurt during the winter, and it was so comfortable and cozy. We went as a family and appreciated all the details of the campsite, including fire starter, torches, the heated blankets, and comfy quilts. We enjoyed walking around the grounds and seeing the place lit up with fairy lights at night. The alpacas were so fun to see, especially Romeo who was born in May and was new since the last time we visited. We have recommended the place to several friends and hope to go back in the summer.

Weekend Trip to Lochloosa River Retreat

My brothers visited for Friday the 13th and could not have had a better experience! Not only were Nikki and her husband so kind to greet us late in the evening, but they also brought us hot chocolate to keep us warm. The lake, ambient cabin, and full moon made the night perfect for DnD - will be returning during the warm months!

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

Camped just after a fresh snowfall. All the lights, snow, and farm friends (Alpacas?) made it really magical. Camped in our truck - easy to find and very quiet site. Had a chance to let the dogs run around and they said they enjoyed it too. Port-a-pottie was in great condition too. Whenever I travel through this part of Michigan I will choose this spot over any other in the area.

1 night at Blooming Bus Farms

It was the perfect space for my class b. The alpacas were a big hit and the grounds are amazing. Would camp again!

1 night at Willowthorne

Everything went well very nice people had such a good time

Mulln-Heim Vineyards

3 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Baroda, MI

This is a 3rd generation "Family Farm" of a different sort I suppose. Seems there's a bit of everything here, and arguably not enough of anything. At least for conventional farming. So we've learned to do things a bit differently.Our main crop is wine and juice grapes since our topography, climate, and soil type makes it a premier location for that. But with 30+ acres of forested hillsides, low ground, and natural areas we've evolved into a mixed farm and forest enterprise. Our goal is to utilize the productivity of all our property while still retaining the basic character and usefulness of the wild areas. Letting each thing be what it wants to be and does best on it's own. Flow, not force.So our year starts early with tapping maple trees and making maple syrup. Plus there's grape trimming about this time as well. When the forest floor starts to green up a bit later, we start digging Ramps, or Wild Leeks in the woods. Most of these will go to the more trendy Chicago restaurants, but we also have some local sales. Next comes inoculating winter-cut logs with Shiitake spawn for next years mushroom production. This year we also conducted a few hands-on workshop seminars on mushroom growing as well. Then it's on to our raised bed herb & veggie gardens. (Fresh herbs are just so much fun to cook with!) We grow enough for our own yearly use, as well as some for direct sales. Summer keeps us busy tending all the different crops here and trying to keep up. But there's that steady progression of fresh veggies to eat. Yum !!! Fall brings our annual Grape U-Pick in September and October. And we try to time related crops like mums, pumpkins, and gourds for this same time frame. Makes the place a bit more interesting. Late fall is when we bring in firewood to heat the house and workshop. Stacks of wood everywhere. Hopefully before the 1st snow. In winter it's time to fire up the woodworking shop and be a bit creative. Build furniture, equipment maintenance, who knows what next years projects will include. I like to keep everybody guessing.So, that's what goes on here. You're welcome to check it out, lend a hand, relax back at camp, walk the vineyards and/or forest, or just breathe and relax. That's up to you. But I would recommend visiting a few of the fine local wineries. Seems there's a festival going on at one or another of them just about every weekend. Good music, good wine, good times. And there's the Lake Michigan beaches a few miles down the road.Yeah, this is a pretty casual place here, love meeting new people, very open to civil discussions of all sorts.However, rude, ill mannered people will probably enjoy staying elsewhere. Just say'n.

The Vaudeville Urban Farm Fun!

8 sites · RVs1 acre · Chicago, IL

Twenty years of growing this farm... Not what grows here but the farm itself! Stone and brick pulled from the ground till we found the beautiful earth beneath and built an incredible community around it. Or rather, it grew itself from the energy that surrounds it. It's a special spot where you may happen upon a fire in the sugar shack while we boil city collected sap into maple syrup or have an open jam night with world class jazz musicians. Enjoy the morning serenade of our rooster! Really, just come and be here. Though we think we're pretty cool, a few things to note that you may not think are so cool: There is a train that runs directly behind the farm. Light sleepers, may want to bring ear plugs. We try to accommodate parking your car on site but it's weather and situation conditional. Assume the possibility that you may need to park on the street. Bring your tent to The Vaudeville! (RVs, campers, trailers, vans please see the ** at the bottom). Our urban farm is smack in the middle of Chicago only a 10 minute bike or train ride from Downtown, Lake Michigan, The Mag Mile and all Chicago has to offer! Bike the Lake Shore Trail, walk the 606, kayak the Chicago River, catch a blues show or Hawks game or just relax with the goats and chickens in the 9,000 square foot farm that we absolutely love to share with fellow campers! ** We have stopped hosting RVs, campers/vans, pull behinds and larger vehicles because we are finding it difficult to get them in the entrance gate but if you feel amazingly capable with your backing in skills in your rig and you're super patient, laid back and extra cool, let us know and we may be able to make it work!! :)
