ROCK RIDGE FARM LLC

4 sites · RVs, Tents130 acres · Goetzville, MI

Our property is located near the Eastern end of the UP! We have 130 acres of mostly wooded land with creeks, wetlands, small lake, and privacy. This spring we will clear and designate campsites, but for now, the choice is yours! As of March 2023, we still have loads of snow, so hike in camping until the snow melts. Then there is a gravel drive that will guide you through the property. The lake access a is difficult hike through downed trees, brush, and swamp, but absolutely worth it! We will be working on clearing a path! We, Gary and Sally, bought the farm in November 2023 and we have grand plans! You can expect to see deer, fox, porcupine, coyote, and bear and wolves are possible. We expect the lake will be good fishing too.

Camping near Sault Ste Marie guide

Overview

Get a peaceful night’s sleep in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula from a Sault Ste. Marie campground. The oldest city in Michigan, it's full of history, charm, nature, and waterfront camping on the banks of Lake Superior and Lake Huron inlets. Swim, fish, or kayak to Rotary Island Park, known as Voyager Island, and see Chippewa County’s nature trails and wildlife viewing areas bordering Canada. Or head to Raber and take a two-mile boat ride to Lime Island for nature trails and dock fishing. Stay in cabin rentals in Lime Island State Recreation Area, or choose between a campsite with wooden platforms and a designated dispersed area to pitch a tent. Splash in waterfalls and watch for sandhill cranes, black bears, and pine martens when the spring berries ripen in Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Just 10 minutes west of Sault Ste Marie, the state park features modern campgrounds with 50-amp hookups for RVs and tent sites near picnic tables, flush toilets, and dump stations.
