Wild Cherry Resort — Hotel in Suttons Bay Township

Updated:

Your response is almost two years after this occurred, so understandably incorrect recollection of events. I do not leave bad reviews, but this was a horrible experience and you were the epitome of stranger danger. Bad enough that another family camping came over to check on us after you left. I am only reiterating other patron’s similar experiences that you were belligerent and refused to admit your mistake double booking sites. Which could have been easily remedied and you still refuse to acknowledge. Anyone considering booking with you should reconsider. I am very appreciative and respectful of anyone that opens their home and property to the public. There are abundant welcoming places to stay in Leelanau that ensure a wonderful, friendly experience in this beautiful location. In my experience and clearly other reviewers, I would recommend checking other locations.

Original review: Do not stay here if you are a woman traveling alone, or with kids, or if your name sounds the least bit foreign. The previous commenters are correct in the assessment of the owner being belligerent and he is a creep too. But we just needed somewhere to stay a couple nights during our week of camping in beautiful Leelanau and everything else was booked in the area. I didn’t think it could be that bad, but his behavior was atrocious. Both nights, we arrived to someone else at our site. It all could have been managed with a bit of tactful customs service and advance notice what site we were supposed to be. Instead, the second night, they called and asked me if they could move my stuff and how they needed us to move for a group of friends. He clearly double booked the sites and I was understanding the first night, but I tried to explain that I didn’t care they were friends, I just needed to know where my daughter and I could sleep, because we were arriving back late. The owner went on an angry tirade and cornered us alone in the woods when we returned, yelling, swearing, going on about how it was his property and he could do what he wanted and how I was probably on welfare. He wanted me to respond similarly to show all the other campers that I was just as horrible of a person as he was, but my daughter and I had to wait until he was done yelling so we could get out of there safely and find somewhere else to sleep for the night.

This is not kid friendly, it’s overpriced, other reviewers are correct about the outhouses, and curious water setup. But the area is beautiful and the owner obviously gets away with treating certain people horribly. But James Spinniken, it should not matter if I was on welfare or if I drove up in a Lexus. You have no right to behave that way, especially in front of children. Doesn’t matter if it is on...

Close to Sutton's Bay, Wild Cherry Resort offers a quiet reprieve in a picturesque setting. Each spacious RV site offers full hookup, 50 amp, a picnic table, and a fire pit. Most sites are gravel with a side patio, but some sites are grass only. Pull-in sites surround the scenic pond with a fountain; the remainder of the sites are back-in sites. The park offers wifi connection, fire wood, ice, and golf balls to be used at the on-site driving range. Being pet-friendly, doggy bag/disposal stations are available as well as morning roadside trash collection service. There are upper and lower RV camping areas with paved roads. For walkers and bikers, the lower loop is 1/2 mile around; the hill from the lower loop to the upper loop including the loop around the office is just under 1/2 mile. If you want a bit more exercise, walk the office down to the park entrance and back (nice hills there.) The onsite "Cherry Bark Lodge" is a seasonal full log building that may be used for campers or for special events (special events may be booked via a phone call or online - see website.) For a more rustic camping experience, the park has 10 tent sites, two cabins, and one yurt. An outdoor heated shower, two porta johns, and water are available for these rustic sites. And finally, thank you to Brian and all the work campers in the park for making our stay an...
