Great spot to put up a tent! If you are looking for a primitive camp site, Oak Meadows is a great place to consider. Things to know: There is no electricity. Bathroom consists of a single porta potty. There is a water line running from the host's house that you can get water from. The camping sites are in clusters, but they are far enough apart for adequate privacy. Lots of fallen trees to gather firewood from. Wi-Fi access is provided. The reservation process via the HipCamp app is very simple.
My friends and I stayed here before Electric Forest and it was a perfect spot for the night. Had some trouble booking online but the host was very helpful over the phone. Super friendly and good vibes. And the bugs make cool noises!!
I loved it. This isn't a normal campground. It's 30 acres on private land, wooded and meadow sites, with fire pits and a port a John. Sorry, no showers but very close to Michigan's Adventures, golf courses, and Lake Michigan. I definitely will stay here again. Bonus the owners sell fresh chicken and duck eggs 🥚
