Customer Reviews
Location is prime because of how close it is to the dunes. However you are off a busy road & across the street are two shipping containers( kind of an eye sore) The hosts make up for all of that though and the availability as well. They were so accommodating brought out a grill for us and the store they have on the grounds is amazing! Would go back. Stargazing still amazing as well.
I loved tent camping here! A great little escape! Not super crowded or loud. Bring a couple of yard games to play during the day, and sit and watch the stars at night! It's open so you get a great view of the stars! Not far from attractions either. Short drive to sleeping bear dunes and nice beaches! Highly recommended if you love rustic camping!
Beautiful and spacious area for peace and quiet. After talking to the owner, found out we grew up in the same city down state. Very friendly and price was great. Gloomy day when we came, but I bet this is a great place on better weather days.
Formerly known as Eagle's Meadow in the past. It's a nice, quaint & rustic campground in the shadows of Sleeping Bear Dunes, just east of Empire Beach. It is what it is and you get what you pay for...a nice rustic campground. Come prepared. Best for boondocking in a self sufficient camper/RV. NO WATER/ELECTRIC HOOKUPS. BUT....the stary night skies provide an awesome backdrop as you fall asleep while being entertained from the lullabies of the coyotes.
We enjoyed our stay, the music, the food.
