Welcome to Torch & Timber Campground: A New Chapter Begins

There’s something special about camping in Northern Michigan. Long summer days spent outside, evenings gathered around the fire, kids making new friends, and the kind of memories that bring families back year after year.

That’s exactly what we hope to create at Torch & Timber Campground.

A New Adventure for Our Family

On September 1, 2026, we took a leap of faith and became the proud owners of what is now Torch & Timber Campground in Mancelona, Michigan.

We’re Dylan and Ariel, and as a family, we’ve always dreamed of building something meaningful—something that brings people together and gives families a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy time with one another.

Becoming campground owners is a new adventure for us, but in a lot of ways, it also feels like coming home.
