3 acres hosted by Matt Y.

2 RV/tent sites

Hello and Welcome to Grateful Acres!! *Update* Wifi has been installed at Greatful Acres and is included with each booking. I have two sites available that will accommodate both travel trailers, as well as tents. Both have 30amp RV and 120v outlets, as well as lights for late arrival setup. In the welcome Hut, you will find dry firewood for purchase, as well as a refrigerator and freezer for use by our guests. Each site has its own labeled shelf to keep your perishables fresh. Also available are organic farm fresh eggs, cold soda, and bottled water, as well as bags of ice in the freezer. At Grateful Acres we aim to make your stay with us, as enjoyable as possible. The two sites sit on 3 beautiful, quiet acres in Northern Michigan. Site #1 is flat, open, and spacious, while site #2 is a bit more enclosed and private tucked into the trees. Both sites come furnished with a picnic table, a fire ring with attached grill for cooking and 2 adirondack chairs. The Star gazing at night is absolutley Amazing!! The property is centrally located between Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Alanson. Nearby are many lakes, rivers, state forests, mountain biking trails, golf courses and ski resorts. Come on up. Stay at Grateful Acres and enjoy all that Beautiful Northern Michigan has to offer.

Grateful Acres is a solid choice for those seeking a convenient base near Petoskey and Harbor Springs. The campsite is appreciated for its cleanliness and practical amenities like electricity, a fridge, and a well-maintained outhouse. While some reviews mention a lack of privacy due to proximity to the road and other sites, the overall experience is positive with quiet surroundings and great stargazing opportunities. The presence of friendly and accommodating host Matt enhances the experience.

Campsite #2

Great camp site for our needs! We winter car camped here for a night given the proximity to Nub’s and Boyne highlands to hit the slopes. 5 minute drive, clean and convenient bathroom/outhouse and close proximity to Petosky and Harbor Springs if you need anything. Would recommend for your basic campsite needs for a reasonable price and proximity to the areas mentioned above!

Campsite #2

Beautiful location with some amazing fall colors. Easy enough to find the location at night but finding the spot was a bit trickier to find in the dark. All in all it was exactly what we needed and we’d be back if we go that way.

Campsite #1

Grateful Acres is in a very pretty location...rolling hills, surrounded by trees. Matt's friend greeted me and showed me to my spot when I first arrived. I spent some time chatting with him and the other people on-site who were all very friendly. It is definitely a great place to disconnect and unwind. Please note that Verizon doesn't work there, but AT&T does. So, you'll definitely be disconnecting if you have Verizon. :)

Campsite #1

Best choice for camping in the area. Convenient to town and beaches are a short drive on scenic country backroads. The host has a refrigerator/freezer (stocked with ice for a small fee) on site making meal and picnic prep simple. Plenty of nature and quiet makes for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend for an overnight or extended stay

Campsite #2

Overall this was a decent experience, host was responsive to questions and there are some nice touches like the lighting around the site, fridge available for use, soda/popsicles available for purchase, motion activated light in the outhouse, and availability of electricity. However, the site was not as private as description made it sound, it is open to the host's house and is just a few steps from the other site, and not far from the road. We pick sites based on privacy because we have a dog that doesn't like other dogs, so this is important to us and could have been a problem if there were other dogs around. Fortunately there was no one at the house that night, and no one staying in the other site the night we were there. The most direct route from the other site to the outhouse also goes directly through this site, which could also have been awkward if others were around. It felt to me like this location would function better as a single site rather than the 2 that are advertised... it would be great for a larger group traveling together, with multiple tents or vehicles that wanted a little privacy, but it's less ideal for groups that don't know each other or who have animals who would be upset by the other's presence.

Campsite #2

We absolutely loved camping on Matt’s land for the holiday weekend!! Directions were clear to find the site and Matt even went the extra mile to ensure our campsite was lit for our late arrival. Matt was such a wonderful host, making sure to check in on us each day and provided some great recommendations of the area. Our site was secluded, and laid out perfectly. Perfect distances to downtown Petoskey/Harbor springs. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back again!
