Once the location of a ski resort, this property was bought up by the competition and dismantled. Sitting on top of the old ski hill, this 10 acre property now offers a beautiful view of Barney Lake and the surrounding state forest. This property is situated near a dirt road that leads directly into hundreds of miles of off-road trails and state forest, yet is close enough to town (7 miles) to enjoy the local establishments. No access to the lake is available from the site, but there are plenty of other lakes and rivers in the area to enjoy!Set up your tent, RV, or camper with a beautiful view of the surrounding state forest and overlook of Barney Lake. Located just 2 miles off 127, enjoy this private site with fire ring and picnic table. Access to miles of off road trails, state land, and quick access to Houghton and Higgins Lakes or the Muskegon River for boating, kayaking, and tubing. Located just 7 miles from town, this allows for a quick trip to get supplies or enjoy local establishments. Northern Michigan is a beautiful place to camp in the summer, but remember to bring your mosquito repellent!

This is an amazing spot in the area with unparalleled views toward the woodlands to the north. It's a short drive from the expressway and convenient to town and nature trails alike. The hosts were great communicators, and we had no trouble finding the location. Plus, the deluxe porta-john was nice to have on-site. We will definitely return should our travels take us north again.

Great Spot

12 ft campervan

This spot is great, bathroom was great and up kept with, small trail on the property was great to walk our little dog. Steep hill to get up with our imported 90s van but that thing only has 89 horse power but if that thing can make it I guarantee your rig or campers can make it…. Once again it only has 89 horsepower rwd and it scooted up it with a little throttle. Beautiful area, protected from the sunrise by the trees on the backside of the cement pad, beautiful foggy morning for us made for a late wake up. Super peaceful and will be returning

The spot was gorgeous and well maintained. The porta potty was very clean and big free. I would recommend site to others.
