Off Map Glamping

The location of the campsite was perfect for us to be able to wind down after a long road trip. The way the campsite is laid out offers you the choice to be social and talk to other guests, or to pull back and do your own thing. The bathroom facilities were great, and the personal touch of having home-made breakfast items made by the owner really gave us a homey feeling while staying here.

Don't forget to bring bug spray.

The nature was lovely.

Greeted by a large metal trash container in the dark. Very poor lighting, poor signage. The ‘wagon’ they provide to haul your luggage/ coolers/ chairs etc are the tiniest cheapest pull carts I’ve ever seen! It was a running joke the entire stay. Our power pack had several outlets that didn’t work, one side of the bed had no power. Large mouse hole in the screen had not been repaired. Several cubes of mouse poison inside of the tent - BEWARE if you have children. Absolutely no warning or information about this. Dozens of snails on the walkway in front of our tent made walking extremely difficult in the pitch dark. There was no coffee at breakfast and no homemade scones as promised. If strawberry and peach Quaker Oatmeal packs are your thing or Yoplait yogurt you’ll do fine. We found the breakfast very sugary and poor quality. Also on day one we returned from Lake Michigan eager to shower and get to Saugatuck for dinner but there were no towels. No staff in sight. I had to go knock on doors hoping to find someone. A woman appeared with a pile of unfolded towels lying on the floor behind her. I formed her there were no towels and without apology she returned with a stack and told me to ‘take one’. I took two, because the floors in the shower rooms were consistently filthy wet with hair and debris it required its own towel. The towels smelled like mothballs, really toxic odor.The woman said they were understaffed, but I did not feel I needed to accept her excuse. She gladly took my $500 for two nights of camping and couldn’t provide coffee or towels. Boo. I will never return. My 16yo son hated it and we sang a happy tune when we left! This is a one person operation so all the OffMap ‘family’ and ‘team’ business is nonsense. Try UnderCanvas, they’re the real deal and offer a quality experience.

The property is well kept and so beautiful and peaceful. The staff are amazing and so helpful! Ronny, the owner was responsive and awesome.

There was not a thing I didn’t like.

This is a really beautiful site for glamping and the hosts could not have been nicer! The tents and facilities were clean and really comfortable, and paths leading to tents were cleared of brush and high grasses. The coffee, fresh-baked scones and muffins, plus overnight oats, were a really delicious way to start each morning. It's always wonderful having someone else prepare that first meal of the day, especially when camping. We were there during a massive storm and felt safe and secure inside our tent (it leaked a little from the roof but the storm was HUGE and there was a massive rainfall!). Though we brought our own, having towels, shampoo, conditioner, bath wash and lotion available in each toilet/ shower room is a great idea for those who wish to pack a little lighter.

The paths were a little muddy after all that rain, which might be fully expected after all the rain, except paths appeared to need a fresh layer of woodchips so it was worse than it could have been. I've done a lot of camping and have stayed at many nice hotels, so the cost of glamping was a little more than I was expecting, but it was definitely an experience and something I will consider doing here again!

Breakfast, daily fire camp, location
