Very private tenting site directly on the St John rivers shore. Lots of wildlife, serenity and privacy. Great fishing spot especially for bass and muskie. Start your day walking on riverside trail, then maybe a kayak journey on the water, and take off for the day on the hundreds of ATV trails! And end under the star as you sit by the open fire listening to the peepers.

David purchased the property from his parents and built the log cabin, sauna and privy with good friends who also constructed the Rope Bridge. Linda came along in 2000 and moved in with her dog. David was just finishing up a bedroom addition to the cabin, just in time! We got married on the property in 2002. Our family gathers together a lot throughout the summers and we have a ski commute to our vehicles during the winter. We love to share our cabin with those of like mind. It's truly a sweet spot!Learn more about this land:Our cabin in the woods offers you a sweet getaway. Think of it as Luxury Camping. No running water but fresh water is provided. Privy on premises. Gas stove. Wood stove. No refrigeration (coolers & ice works!). Grill. Fire pit. Basic kitchen items. Wood-fired sauna. Totally off grid. Located on the river.The cabin is suited for short term stays, though someone with a good comfort level of being in nature and off grid could enjoy a longer stay. Life slows down in our neck of the woods.

Perfect little site on the river just a few minutes from town. Private site with fire pit overlooking the river. Restaurants and gas stations very close. Also right by the border crossing

Weekend Trip to St John River Front Tenting

This spot was perfect. Private, on the river, peaceful, beautiful. Very dog and people friendly. We have a campervan and were able to fit right in. Even though we were on the river there were few mosquitoes. We were well directed to town to a great brewery with wood fired pizza. Yum! Neat area, but we were just passing through. Will stop by again if we’re in the area.

Sherry’s spot was perfect! A private little spot right along the riverbank! We were more than comfortable there for our stay.
