Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Over 7 acres of gentle sloping meadow with views of Lake Michigan, beside a growing family farm and homestead. Our gently sloped meadow and shady pine grove are perfect for campers seeking more private, quiet camping, and the Upper Room invites you indoors, while enjoying the outdoors. In the pine grove, a freestanding deck overlooks Lake Michigan, with views of Beaver Island and Great Lakes freighters. On clear nights you can glimpse beams from a handful of lighthouses. The pine trees offer shade and protection from weather without blocking the breeze (and the pine duff creates a spectacularly soft ground for sleeping on). Or set up your tent on the hillside--open your flap to Lake Michigan's famous sunsets, or face south to see a blanket of treetops. Near the barn, your RV has a flat spot to park at the base of the "Southern Slope" meadow full of wildflowers and monarch butterflies. For guests wanting more creature comforts, the Upper Room Glamp Apartment has all the amenities--television, queen bed, dry kitchenette, and access to the main house bathroom and shower. All options have access to fire rings and views of countless stars on a clear night. You'll be staying minutes from multiple beaches for swimming, boating, fishing, and rock-hunting. Our sites make a great HQ for day trips to Mackinac Island, Beaver Island, Mackinaw City, Petoskey, and Charlevoix, or a way-point on Fall Color Tours or drives up the Tunnel of Trees on M-119. The famous Legs Inn and Petoskey Brewing Company's 2nd location are only a mile away, Moose Jaw Junction is close, and one can walk to the Crow's Nest Restaurant. From here, it's only a short drive to downtown Harbor Springs for additional fine dining and shopping. We are a young family of four, starting a family farm, and we are eager to share our homestead with you.Welcome tent campers! Choose from a number of walk-in sites, each with its own personality. Set up under the pines on soft duff for privacy and calm. Or pitch your tent with views of the sun setting on lake Michigan, or across the meadow, looking out over Northern Michigan's forests. Tenters will share a communal fire ring beside the free-standing deck that overlooks Lake Michigan.

We camped for three nights and had a wonderful experience. The directions were clear, the composting toilet was clean, and the view of the lake was beautiful!

Good quiet spot for a night!

We enjoyed this quiet spot. A few small trails amongst wild flowers that was nice. It was just a quick one night stay for us! It was close to Mackinaw City.
