The Fields of Michigan is a glamping property on a blueberry farm in the woods of Western Michigan. Kids ride bikes and roast marshmallows, adults unwind by the pool and sip cocktails in Adirondack chairs while watching the sun set. It's the perfect a place to retreat and unwind and it's one of the most peaceful travel experiences I've ever had … and it was all made possible with the power of points.
Located just outside of South Haven, Michigan – a short drive or bike ride from the beaches of Lake Michigan – the Fields of Michigan started as a boutique lodging property with a mix of cabins (they call cottages) and glamping tents. More recently, it joined The Outdoor Collection” by Under Canvas – a duo of properties that mirror much of Under Canvas's rustic, National Parks-adjacent glamping brand, but with other amenities that set them apart like non-tented lodging options. (The other Outdoor Collection property is Montana's Bar N Ranch.)
As a member of The Outdoor Collection and the Under Canvas brand, the glampsite belongs to the Mr. & Mrs. Smith collection of properties, too. That, in turn (stay with me, I know this is complicated), means that you can book The Fields of Michigan using World of Hyatt points. It's the same method I used to book my favorite glamping campsite on earth and now Fields of Michigan partner: Under Canvas – Glacier.
Open from April 30 to Nov. 1 this year, the seasonal property closes down in the winter months. But even for a temporary property, the running water, electricity, heat, and A/C in every tent make this site much more luxurious than many glamping outfits.
The Fields of Michigan is a fun, unique way to use your points for a laid-back escape in the Midwest this year or next.
How to Book The Fields of Michigan
You can book the Fields of Michigan almost anywhere you usually book hotels. You can book directly with the property, through your favorite travel portal, or on some online travel agencies. But the best way is to book with World of Hyatt.
As a Mr. & Mrs. Smith property, you can book with Hyatt using cash or your World of Hyatt points. When you book Under Canvas properties with Hyatt, you also get a $20 credit to use at the camp's merch store.
You can book with cash, with the cheapest tent nights coming in right around $250 per night. Meanwhile, the cottages will be closer to $400 per night.
But that's where Hyatt points come in. While you can't search Mr. & Mrs. Smith properties using the award calendar on Hyatt's website, almost every date I checked offered “Fields Tent” glamping tents for 20,000 Hyatt points per night.
The cottages go up in price to around 35,000 to 45,000 per night, but I did see other nights for much more.
As with all Mr. & Mrs. Smith properties bookable with Hyatt, rates are variable and usually tied in some way to the cash price, so not all dates are created equal. But that 20,000-point rate was fairly standard from my searches in 2026 and 2027.
When I booked The Fields of Michigan, I transferred 40,000 Bilt Rewards points to Hyatt to book two nights in August. (You can also transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt at varying ratios.) But before I booked this, I received an email from World of Hyatt about a promotion in which, if you booked an Under Canvas (or partner) property using Hyatt points, you got a 15% points rebate after the stay.
I made sure to register for that promotion ahead of time, and just about a week after our stay, I got 6,000 of those points refunded, dropping my nightly rate to just 17,000 points. Score!
15% back isn't a knock-your-socks-off savings, but it's a respectable chunk of points that will surely make a dent in my next Hyatt booking. Unless you're trying to use other hotel credits, World of Hyatt points remain the best way to book Fields of Michigan sites.
Where is the Fields of Michigan?
The Fields of Michigan is located just outside of South Haven, a quaint Lake Michigan town known for some of the best beaches on the Great Lake. It's about five minutes from town by car and about 25 minutes from town by bicycle, which are free for all guests to use.
For our trip, we flew to Grand Rapids, Michigan (GRR), which is about one hour away from the property.
The city of Chicago (MDW airport is closer to Michigan than ORD) is about two hours from The Fields, and Detroit is about three hours away.
The property is easy to drive to from many places in the Midwest, but you'll likely need a vehicle to get there, as Ubers from Grand Rapids or even nearby Kalamazoo (AZO) will be pricey.
The Fields of Michigan Tent
So, what does 20,000 World of Hyatt points get you? For us, it gave us some peace and quiet in the woods at tent 20.
The tents don't have doors; instead, they have traditional tent flaps that you can tie open for easier in-and-out access. The flaps zip all the way along the bottom of the tent, so you can really air the place out, or keep the tent tightly sealed to keep warm or cool air in or out. The entire thing is screened as well, so while you pull away the canvas exterior, you can still have a breezy, but bug-free, tent.
Outside each tent is a welcome mat, a table and chairs, and one of these large Yeti coolers. The coolers are to store whatever food or drink you bring with you. The campsite supplies you with ice on demand.
Inside the tent, you get what amounts to a hotel room … but under canvas. The wood framing in each room is much more elaborate than at other Under Canvas-style properties. Each tent also has two zippable windows on each side.
The bed has a large trunk at one end, which can be used to store suitcases or whatever you may need. (My 1-year-old daughter makes a cameo in the photo below, coming out of the bathroom. Say hi to Emery!)
Because we came with our 1-year-old, we requested (and were given) a pack-n-play for free during our stay. The cooler came in handy to store milk and snacks for our increasingly hungry toddler.
You can see from the angle below that there is also a sitting chair inside the tent, along with a side table.
The beds were Beautyrest mattresses that could be adjusted with these remotes to tilt you up or down – a shocking amount of luxury for a campsite. But truth be told, we didn't need or use this feature during our stay.
Next to the bed was a desk with a lamp on it. The Wi-Fi connection at the camp was minimal, which was just fine with us. While the manager told us at check-in that Wi-Fi was pretty strong at the main cafe area, we never connected to it – the true sign of any good glamping trip!
What really sets The Fields apart from other glamping options is its amenities. You'd be hard-pressed to find many glamping outfits that offer A/C and heat in the tents. Unlike Under Canvas, the heating unit was not a working wood-burning stove but an electric one.
Every tent has working electrical outlets, including one on each side of the bed. That's also a far cry from Under Canvas's USB charging banks, which they give you at check-in.
The other big amenity difference is the availability of running water. Instead of a pulley system for bringing in water, you just turn the knobs like in a hotel room to continuously run water at The Fields. The water temperature fluctuated a bit as the propane heaters sparked and waned, but it was shockingly comfortable for a camp shower.
On the other side of the massive bathroom is the toilet, which works just like a normal one.
Fields of Michigan Property
The Fields of Michigan is set on a beautiful riverside property featuring trails between the tents, a working blueberry farm, a cafe, some firepits, a pool, and more. It's incredibly quaint and perfectly low-key. Here's the full property from a bird's-eye view.
Below you can see the reception building (left), the cafe and dining room (middle), and the kids' activities cabin called the Outpost (right). In the foreground is the main fire pit for camp, where s'mores are served (for free) every night.
When you get off the rural county road leading up to the property, you drive up to the reception, but after that, you shuttle your car away to a more remote field close to the road. There, a golf cart whisks you and your luggage and supplies down a gravel road (between the fountain pictured below and the cabins behind it) all the way to your lodging.
The fountain and the blueberry patch shown below are the centerpieces of the property before you get into the woods with the cabins and tents.
My wife and daughter are in the picture above searching for Blueberries, which were picked relatively clean after we just missed the peak of blueberry season in mid-August.
Just to the right of the picture above is the pool – another amenity unique to Under Canvas properties. On the barely 70-degree days we stayed at the farm, there wasn't much pool action, save for some kids playing with the pool toys. (My daughter and I also spent a chilly hour flopping around in the pool one morning, too.)
One of the main features of your stay is free access to bicycles. The beaches of Lake Michigan are only a 5-mile bike ride away, and most of the ride is on a maintained gravel bike trail. The cute town of South Haven is slightly closer than that, too. The bikes come with helmets and are free to use – no sign-out required. You do sign a liability waiver at check-in that covers the bikes.
In the back of the property, in the woods, you can find a few other campground perks.
Nestled back in the woods is this fun area featuring a lavender field and an event-space cabin called the Hideaway.
All the trails on the property are mulched like this one, giving walkers (and the occasional staff golf cart) a wide berth to explore the woods, as my wife and daughter did below.
Beyond the Hideaway are two massage cabins. The property contracts with two masseuses who you can book during your stay. We were not able to book one of these, sadly. A word of warning: Monday is their day off.
Past the massage cabin is an area they call “Pine Point,” which just a few days earlier was a wedding ceremony site – and a spectacular one at that. (You can buy out the camp for weddings, as some lucky couple did the weekend before we arrived!)
One more note about the property: This place really shines at night. The property lights up the wooded area with string lights that illuminate the area without totally flooding it out. The stars and moon shone extremely bright all over the property.
This was the view from our patio as my wife and I enjoyed a bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary after our daughter went to sleep in the tent.
The tent area is also very pretty when lit up at night. This empty one was awaiting a late-arriving guest.
Dining, Breakfast & Supper Club
You shouldn't go glamping for the high-end cuisine, but it's pretty fun when it delights you with some good food!
We had this awesome spread of cocktails and plates from the camp's café, an à la carte dining room in the middle of the campsite. It's open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day.
While it has a limited menu (which you can see for the 2026 season here), we were impressed with our meal. My wife's Fields Lemonade and my Soha Margarita were both tasty, as were our antipasto, our honey-roasted rainbow carrots, and our cavatappi pasta. My daughter was equally delighted with her grilled cheese and French fries.
When we got the bill (charged to our tent), it came out around $117, so you're certainly paying resort prices, but it's not completely exorbitant.
Each night starting at 6:30 p.m., the camp staff puts out supplies for s'mores making, too. This is a staple at Under Canvas resorts and a fun way to bring campers together for a chocolate-and-marshmallow nightcap of sorts. Unlimited s'mores are complimentary for all guests.
Notably, we did not get to experience what the camp calls “Supper Club.” They only offer it Thursdays through Sundays, and reservations are tough to get. (They didn't offer it on the Sunday we were there because of the wedding buy-out from the weekend before, unfortunately.)
The Supper Club puts a limited number of guests at a communal outdoor table for a four-course dinner featuring garden-grown produce and fresh fish, among other things. It also comes with a cocktail and two wine pairings.
Outside of the typical dining hours, you can also pick up items from this grab-and-go setup in the cafe, too. Some chips, some charcuterie items, gummy bears, sodas, juices, beers, and sandwiches were all available here.
Here's where the Fields of Michigan really fell short. The breakfast, included in your stay, was lackluster. You get what you pay for, I guess.
This was barely a continental breakfast. It was a series of meats and cheeses, a bowl of fruit, a bowl of yogurt, a bowl of hard-boiled eggs, and some cereal – that's it.
There was free coffee, but it seemed to be constantly out. I waited around with several guests one morning for more coffee to be put out before many of us gave up. There's an espresso machine behind the bar, but there was no staff there to operate it. I don't know if they'd even allow you to order one, either.
Breakfast was a bummer, but it wasn't bad enough to undercut what was a truly delightful cafe meal the night before.
Bottom Line
Low-key and serene, the Fields of Michigan puts its own spin on glamping in an upscale, but wholesome way.
Bookable with World of Hyatt points starting at just 20,000 per night, it's a unique way to use travel rewards on a nature retreat this year or next.
