Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Stanwood, MI
My property (Lynx Run) has an amazing geological and historical background. During the last ice age, glacial waters carved out the ravine in which the Betts Creek flows.  Sometimes, the creek drops over 60 feet below the surrounding terrain as it meanders back and forth in oxbows as it flows toward the Muskegon River.  It was once the hunting, foraging and camping grounds of the Potawatami Indians.  In the late 1800's it was at the center of the Michigan Timber Industry.  Running along the edge of my property is the old railroad bed where timber was once hauled away.  Only two miles from my home, the logs were sent down the side of the hill and into the Muskegon River on log chutes and then floated to where the Muskegon empties into Lake Michigan.  Piles of field stones indicate that after the timber industry moved on, farmers moved in and attempted to tame the land.  But, fortunately for me, the land was abandoned by the farmers and has returned to a much more natural and pristine state.  My land is now a part of the Manistee National Forest and I am surrounded by thousands of acres of beautiful land (both public and private).  I am the only person who lives back here in this part of the forest, so seclusion and privacy are wonderful and the wildlife and beauty is abundant.

Brookhollow Riverfront Campsite

1 site · Tent10 acres · Newaygo, MI
Learn more about this land: You’ll have a secluded, wooded campsite just footsteps from the Little Muskegon River. Tube down the river, fish, swim, explore the land, and get back to nature. There is a creek that runs through the property and a firepit that is available for use right next to the river.  Fall asleep under the stars to the sound of flowing water. We are very flexible with check in and check out times as well. We've been asked why we don't offer several sites on this plot of land but we believe that it's the privacy and seclusion that guests value most and it's what keeps return guests coming back. If you are looking for a getaway, this is it.

Camping near Baldwin guide

Overview

If you thought the only lakeshores worth noting were those of the Great Lakes, think again. As the county seat of Michigan’s landlocked Lake County, Baldwin more than makes up for its distance from Lake Michigan (although the lakeshore itself is only a 40-minute drive away). Nestled in the heart of the Manistee National Forest, the small town retreat has easy access to both the Baldwin River and the Pere Marquette River, and is surrounded by more than 100 inland lakes. Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of ways to get on the water, whether canoeing and kayaking along the rivers, fishing for trout and steelhead, or checking into one of the region’s many lakeside campgrounds, national forest campsites, and riverfront cabins. Lovers of quirky attractions also won’t want to miss Baldwin’s two most unique sights—the Shrine of the Pines cabin gallery and the world’s largest trout sculpture!
