Great!! November 2022
The owner, Hank, was very friendly. This place is laid-back and unstructured. Just be respectful as a guest and clean up after yourself!
Since it’s the off-season and we were blessed with great weather in November, I decided to rent the covered wagon. Since I was alone it almost seemed like a little too much room, but it was amazingly quiet! And heated!! Think of it as camping with heat and you’ll love it. It’s a semi permanent tent, so bring plenty of bedding. There’s also air conditioning, however I did not need that in November.
There’s plenty of hot water at the shower house, which was clean and spacious. I wish I had discovered this rustic campground during the warmer months. I didn’t have time to hike, but there are maps that show the trails. I’ll definitely be back if we get more mild weather this winter if Sleeping Bear is open in the winter months.
Thanks for a great and QUIET stay!!

Although the camping was fairly rustic, there was nearby running water, flush toilets, and showers. The Tee-pee was a fun experience to sleep in with plenty of fresh air flow. We enjoyed finding tadpoles in the small pond, volleyball, and jumbo chess. Staff was very kind.
It's such a fun place we had it to ourselves for a few days 😌 it was quiet and relaxing.
The owner was very friendly and loved when Dusty the dog would come and visit...lol
My girls loved the fishing. We caught quite a few.
We stayed in the wagon it was nice having cool air at the end of the day!!
We can't wait to plan another trip...
We had an amazing stay at sleeping bear retreat. We stayed in the covered wagon it was an amazing experience. So much to do there. My family will be back again and hope to make it a yearly visit.
I love this campground! I visited on a hot weekend in July with my boyfriend. We opted for the camp site with electricity. It was the perfect amount of space for us, had a plug at the edge of the space, a picnic table, and fire pit. It was quiet the weekend we visited and we were one of the few campers there. The campground itself was well maintained and had several tipis and other structures on site. The place had a lot of charm and soul that made me enjoy my stay even more. It's close by to various hiking options as well as amenities of French Lick bars, restaurants, and casino. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
