About

Welcome to the Historic Village of New Richmond!

Once a bustling lumber town and center of commerce established by early settlers, New Richmond now sits idle on the Lower Kalamazoo River.

Come adventure with us!! Our riverbend glamping site awaits your arrival!

Located on our private river bank this is on 3 acres of land shared by 2 furnished glamping sites and a rustic group campsite. Our sight offers scenic views of sunrise on the riverbend as well as the New Richmond Swing Bridge. Now open to pedestrian traffic only, the small county park next door offers a riverside board walk full of natural flora and wildlife for morning strolls or the delight of a fisherman who likes to be 1st on the water! Kayak and Canoe Rentals are also available on sight by appointment or reserve one with your tent. Hiking trails nearby offer a great way to explore the Allegan Forest and reconnect with nature. 7 miles east of Saugatuck and 5 miles north of Fennville, our site makes a perfect escape from the nearby lakeshore district and tourist attractions. Just follow the paved road all the way to the end and enter through our private drive. ….where the pavement ends, adventure begins!

Friendly, peaceful, relaxing

This little campground is definitely off the beaten path. We kayaked there from Allegan and was treated to more wildlife viewing opportunities than we could ask for.

Upon arriving we were greeted with smiles and our hosts were more than helpful. They showed us our campsite and provided firewood (which happened to be sassafras which smells heavenly when burned and keeps the mosquitoes at bay) at no extra cost.

It was the perfect end to a perfect day.

I highly recommend spending a night or two here at the river.

Thank you for booking with us and giving us this excellent review! We look forward to hosting you and your family again in the near future.

Little slice of heaven

Love this campsite! It’s close to the river but set back far enough so that during a downpour you won’t be worrying and the drive to get to the site is quaint and peaceful. Will come back!
