Site 31 | The Shirley
GREAT Low-maintenance Cabin!!!
For a relaxing Memorial Day weekend at Traverse city and the Dunes that didn't break the bank, Emily's site was a life saver. We could've chosen to stay in the rv park sites and sleep in our sedan, but going the extra bit and paying for a cabin was 100% worth it for us. It was at least half, sometimes less than a third of the cost of nearby hotels for the holiday weekend.
Even though we came in after 9 pm, Emily greeted us at the cabin and showed us the amenities on site and was so gracious. We found the Shirley to be a clean and modest 1 room cabin; it charged our devices, was comfortable, and the best part was the jaw-dropping view of the stars just outside the front door.
There's not running water inside the cabin, but on the property there are nearby portable toilets, accessible drinking water, and bundles of firewood for sale for the firepits at some sites.
11/10, would absolutely stay again.
Note: Make sure to check in with the owner before reserving to make sure its ready for new guests- sometimes Hipcamper messes that up.

We greatly enjoyed camping here! Emily was a wonderful host and very accommodating. We loved the relaxed vibe and how easy it was to book. When we arrived, we asked the host if we would be able to move campsites for more privacy from other campers and Emily let us browse the campground and pick a whole new site. She’s the best!
The bathroom could’ve been cleaner, but that was the only con.
For the price, it was a nice stay. We’d come back if we’re in the area again!

Emily Rocks!!!
Emily, her kids, and her dog Bonnie went out of their way to make me and my son feel welcome and provided some great recommendations as far as hikes, beaches, and dining. Being a big music fan, it was also good to learn that Emily organizes concerts at the site as well. Great location close to beaches, trails, Empire and Glen Arbor.

Camping in a scenic field
This is a convenient camp location. We appreciate the picnic tables and fire pits.
