New ‘cannabis campground’ set to open this summer in Michigan
The Grassy Knoll is already taking reservations and plans to open June 1, in time for summer festival season.
Michigan’s first “cannabis campground” is set to open this summer on the west side of the state.
The Grassy Knoll, located at 2125 Lemuel St. in Muskegon, is a cannabis dispensary that moved its CBD store from Grand Rapids to Muskegon. Now owners plan to open a five-acre campground at the site.
“We could fit 50 RVs out here most likely, lots of different tents, probably 60,” said Selina Shananaquet, general manager at The Grassy Knoll. “There’s lots of space out here and its pretty much an open space surrounded by trees.”
Shananaquet says the campground is licensed and ready to go as soon as they add bathrooms and a water source for guests.
“We’re literally two minutes from downtown, five minutes from the lake.”
They are taking reservations now and plan to open June 1, in time for summer festival season. The dispensary will be partnering with the Burning Foot Beer Festival as well, Shananaquet said.
“$40 for a regular weekend, $70 for Burning Foot,” she said. “We partnered with the Burning Foot Beer Festival so we’re charging the same price as they are for their campsites, and it comes with a free shuttle to the event.”
She says being connected to a dispensary is what makes The Grassy Knoll campground unique, a hub for like-minded people in the community.
“We want to have a safe space for people to feel like they don’t need to look over their shoulders and feel like they have to hide the fact they’re consuming cannabis.”
