Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Our property is 15 acres in beautiful south central Michigan, north of Jackson, and south of Lansing. It features an approximate 2 acre spring fed pond that does not have scum. It eventually flows into a creek that meanders through onsite wetlands into State of Michigan land. It is virgin land and exhibits many forms of wildlife: deer, turkey, rabbits, pheasants, fish, birds, and other. One day this will be our future dream home, but in the meantime we enjoy using it for a getaway and peaceful surroundings. Activities include the following: We have kayaked on the pond, had campfires on the hill, hiked through the swamp, fished on the pond, and have had hunters in the fall. Within a 30 minute drive are the cities of Lansing and Jackson that have numerous activities and culture.Our property is 15 acres in beautiful south central Michigan, north of Jackson, and south of Lansing.

We have a convenient paved driveway, but outside of that we like to keep things natural and beautiful on the property. There is a chance of encountering wild creatures, including but not limited to: deer, skunks, snakes, turkey, rabbits, fox, opossum, insects (mosquitoes, bees, ticks, etc.). Please come appropriately prepared.

Loved tent camping here in the grassy area. Fire ring and minimal light pollution. Woke up to a deer walking by the tent then a flock of maybe 20 turkey. Took a little walk around the pond and trail. Property is well maintained and easy to find.

Great space. Very secluded and quiet. Visited early August and I don’t recall a single mosquito ;).

Beautiful piece of property. Plenty of firewood for us upon arrival. Easy in and out. Private. Closest Meijer is 8 miles away. Would stay again.
