Weekend Trip to Be Wild and Free

Super simple directions. Wide open land. We had to fight of the raindrops, but there were a couple dry”er” spots available. Saw a handful and sandhill cranes, deer and turkeys!

13 nights at Chippewa Henge Camp

Excellent place to camp, I tent camp when I travel and it was peaceful and primitive. Close to town, great host, nice lake. I loved it and, would camp there again.

Weekend Trip to Oak Ridge Farm

Wow! Loved the setup and absolutely perfect for bikepacking from Pierre Marquette Rail Trail. Nice quiet relaxing spot and great hosts! Having firewood available for purchase really made for a great evening by the fire. Will be coming back again for sure!

4 nights at "Elysium Heritage Farm"

We had an absolute blast, even though the weather wasn't exactly perfect! Honestly, I can't complain at all – our spot was simply stunning, and Kim, our host, was incredibly accommodating. We spent our days wandering through the woods while the kids joyfully played with the goats. The campground was set up beautifully and offered a nice private retreat for us to unwind. Evenings were magical as we roasted marshmallows around the campfire, sharing laughs and stories. One morning, I was thrilled to spot a family of deer gracefully moving through the trees during my walk. It was such a serene experience, and we all agreed that we would love to return for another adventure!

Weekend Trip to Oak Ridge Farm

2 nights at Camping on our Organic Farm

What a beautiful property! we loved waking up to the horses in the field. Doreen was very accommodating and helpful. The property was clean and the outhouse was well kept. She was very kind with our kids and even showed us how she cared for her cow and horses. We stayed 2 nights because we were passing through but wish we could’ve stayed longer it was such a nice little paradise. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s looking for a little bit of farm life and tranquility. Thank you Doreen and family for your hospitality. We wish you all the very best.

Weekend Trip to Three Happy Turtles

Audrey and Nick’s place was great! They providing me with electricity so I could stay warm in my tent on these cold December nights. And it was wonderful to set up a tent on lush grass! I could see myself coming back again when it is warm to enjoy the fresh air and the company of those staying with me.

1 night at Footsteps From Frankenmuth

Great cozy tent spot! Couldn’t have asked for more - Robert was a great host. Will stay again!

7 nights at Footsteps From Frankenmuth

What a great deal! Robert was supremely conscientious, meeting us the first night for a very late check in, and setting us up with the solo stove. When it snowed he promptly kept the way out well cleared. Spot was quiet and calm, in a well treed nook towards the back of the property. For a traveler there’s not much better. I felt safe and that my needs were considered. A very pleasant experience. I’m sure I’ll be back next time I’m in town!

Weekend Trip to Thousand S.’s Land

The worker was very helpful and the camp site was nice with multiple fire pits, outhouse, and a picnic table. The nearby train can get a bit loud but it didn't bother us too much.

1 night at Thousand S.’s Land

That was my first time camping ever I enjoy that moment.. No one bothered me. It was nice.❤️❤️❤️❤️ 👍

Weekend Trip to Oak Ridge Farm

Great spot for camping! Joyce and her family have done a fantastic job setting up their property for guests that it honestly felt like a mini State Park. It is well-marked with lots of signs. Would be a perfect place for star-gazing, but it was cloudy when I was there. They have a few short trails on their property, but there is also a gate to State Forest, which gives one access to a lot of land to hike on. Firewood is for sale on site and one can pay with cash or digitally. Chickens and goats on the property and saw many deer.

Camping on our Organic Farm

7 sites · RVs, Tents138 acres · North Branch, MI

WHAT'S NEW ON THE FARM IN 2023 This year we are expecting two foals (baby horses). One the end of April and one around the Fourth of July. We are also milking a family cow for our own milk as well. Her name is Daisy and her calfs name is Maple. Maple was born in March on the maple full moon. We do a calf share where the calf is with her mom part of the time and we are still able to milk her. Our mini horse, Annabell is now pulling a cart and giving rides! So much fun! We will have Great Pyrenees puppies from end of April through mid July. Come and spend some time with them! We also have two new additions to the farm. A pony mule, named Molly, in which I am planning to train to pull a cart and a cream colored pony, named Whinny as well, for riding. ABOUT DOREEN I’m an entrepreneur. I’m all about health and taking care of the mind, body and spirit. I’m an organic farmer, an animal nut, health coach, mindset mentor and Psych-K facilitator. I have six children and hosted three foreign exchange students. I love kids, animals (especially horses) and nature. I love anything and everything about health and personal growth and well being. ABOUT THE FARM We have a working, organic farm with a lot of animals, however, we also do crops as well. This particular farm is 138 acres with 8 acres of woods. We have working dogs, sheep, cattle, horses, a few ducks, chickens, a couple goats, a mini horse and outdoor cats on our farm. We have some super great animals. Most of which are very friendly. You never know what will be available to see on the farm when you visit. We are expecting a foal (baby horse) this summer (2021) and are already planning for another foal next summer as well. We often have puppies as well and sometimes we have to bottle feed lambs. There's never a dull moment. Our farm is unique in the way of having a very positive VIBE to it. The energy is awesome! It's really a space of tranquility and healing if you allow yourself to go there. After hosting with air bnb for a little over a year now, we decided to give this a try as well. We love hosting people and having them come to the farm and enjoy our way of life. It also helps to have a supplemental income as having and running a small family farm isn't very sustainable. Typically there's off the farm jobs to help pay for the farm life. It's a crazy equation. Small family farms are far and few between. Please support your local farmer if possible! It is greatly appreciated!

Camping near Saginaw guide

Overview

Between Saginaw Bay and the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge in Mid Michigan, this midwestern town makes for the perfect Great Lakes camping getaway. Saginaw Bay, an arm of Lake Huron, is ringed with beach parks for relaxing lakeside swimming, boating, fishing, and camping. And even better, the Saginaw Bay watershed is an important migratory bird habitat that draws birders during spring and fall migrations. South of Saginaw, the hardwood forests and wetlands of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge feature miles of hiking routes, mountain biking trails, and paddling paths. Campers love the area’s fall foliage and its proximity to Detroit, only a 90-minute drive away.

Where to go

Saginaw Surrounds

The Saginaw River runs right through downtown Saginaw, providing urban boating and fishing access. Hikers and bikers can take the nearby Saginaw Valley Rail Trail 11 miles to St. Charles in summer (the multi-use trail is utilized by skiers in winter).

Bay City State Park

Just 25 minutes from Saginaw, Bay City State Park sits on a sandy beach of Saginaw Bay that’s perfect for swimming, boating, and fishing. Tent and RV camping sites feature picnic tables, fire rings, and restrooms, while observation towers let campers study the wildlife in the park’s Topico Marsh.

Lake Camping on the “Thumb”

About 80 minutes northeast from Saginaw are two state parks on Lake Huron at the tip of Michigan’s thumb. Sleeper State Park has lakeside camping with sunrise and sunset views, plus a dune forest you can explore. Port Crescent State Park, meanwhile, is a designated Dark Sky Preserve with excellent stargazing and a campground offering both cabins and geodesic domes.

Tawas Point State Park

An hour and a half north of Saginaw is Tawas Point State Park, a 183-acre lakeside getaway set on the sand spit that separates Tawas Bay from Lake Huron. The park links up to the Tawas Bay Multi-Use Trail for biking or hiking on the lakeshore, and campers have plenty of options—choose from tent sites, RV sites, and cabins.

When to go

With late sunsets and warm days, summer is the best time to visit Saginaw for a camping trip. The autumn fall foliage transformation is also a beautiful time to camp, while spring and fall are prime for spotting migrating birds. Winters are dark, cold, and snowy—most campers steer clear unless opting for a cozy cabin rental.
