Backyard Burdickville is a friendly rustic campground just outside the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and near Empire, MI. In addition to camping, it offers a local food market featuring produce and flowers grown on-site at The Lively Farm, a large recreational area and occasional events. Visitors can explore the beauty of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore by day and our starry landscape by night.
We offer 28 large rustic campsites offer fire pits and a picnic table, 10 RV sites, and two camping cabins. Potable water hydrants and porta-johns are available. We also offer firewood for sale onsite. Rustic sites can accommodate small campers and camper vans.
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.
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!
