About this campground
We’re perched on top of a hill overlooking Arbutus Lake in northern Michigan. We are on the edge of Brown Bridge Quiet Area, a large preserve with great hiking. We’re also a short drive to Traverse City - about 15 mins. Guests will park in a side driveway in front of a detached garage with a view of the woods. Access to the lake directly on our property may be available, but is down a long flight of stairs and will depend on our use of the dock. Can fill water if needed. Suggested Local Attractions:Arbutus chain of lakes, Brown Bridge Quiet Area, Boardman River, Vasa Trail, Sand Lakes, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Leelanau Peninsula, Old Mission Peninsula
