Lansing area natives, Lindsay and AJ Updyke are bringing a fresh approach to camping on the sunrise side with their new “glamp ground” Timberglow Getaway in Twining.
For the past 4 years the Updykes traveled the country in their converted school bus working at various campgrounds, learning what it would take to own their own one day. In January their dream became a reality when they purchased the property that was once Whispering Pines Campground. They have been hard at work transforming the 23-acre property into what is now Timberglow Getaway.
Timberglow will be the perfect place to unwind without all the hassle that camping can bring. Four geodesic domes will be available for rent beginning spring 2026. The domes will be pet friendly, equipped with electricity, a queen or king mattress, mini fridge, air conditioner, heater, and a table and chairs. Bedding linen and towels will be provided, and each dome will also have their own mailbox where guests might find a unique surprise when the flag is raised.
“We love connecting with campers and are excited to provide a getaway where you can immerse yourself in nature and enjoy a fun experience.” Lindsay said
The Updykes have plans of building a bathhouse, providing a camp store and camper lounge complete with books and board games. They are also working on creating a communal outdoor kitchen area for guests to cook meals in.
