It can be a hassle getting a campsite in MI, especially using the state reservation website (yuck). Not so here: show up, pay up, set up, relax. This place is a kid's dream. Lots of things to play on, climb on, move around, you can pretty much setup anywhere. Cleanest portable toilets ever, full stop. Super quiet. Price is right, but bring cash, it's not setup for credit cards. Call the owner Tony ahead of time, if he knows you're coming you'll get setup faster. Follow his advice on how to get there and not google's directions. Nicest dude you'll ever meet. There's no water, you'll need to bring your own. I'll definitely be back, thanks Tony!

This was our first but definitely not our last time staying at natures rustic campground. I was so surprised they had an opening when I called a week before Fourth of July weekend! Tony is A really amazing person, great customer service, really went above and beyond to keep us comfortable! They provided wood bundles for our campfires and they had port-a-potties, which was unexpected but awesome AND they were VERY clean. All in all a 10/10 experience and we will definitely be making a yearly trip to camp there!

Rustic campers, this is a diamond in the rough. A true hidden gem. 300 acers of rolling hardwood forest 150 camp sites. Found this place by chance. There is no water here, but lots close by. Camp sites are big. Not to close together. The owner Tony is great. Like visiting an old friend. If u want to be left alone & do ur thing this is the spot. I had the whole place to myself. I'm sure he would like more biz than just me so go! I want it to be there when I camp next time.Tony , thanks brother it was great.

Very nice place surrounded by trees. Owner is very welcoming and lets you pick your own spot. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a more secluded campsite.
