Experience upscale camping–Glamping in the Forested Hills of Lake Superior. Sailor Springs is a small three-site campground located just two miles outside of the picturesque tourist town of Bayfield, WI. 2023 will be our first year of operation and we’re excited to host campers on the property and provide a unique camping experience. The campground is spread out over 5 acres of forest that you’ll hike into from Bresette Hill Road. After parking at the trailhead, you’ll gather your bags and hike into your glamping site. The trail winds through the woods, leading you first to a valley where the seasonal Clark Creek runs through in the spring. The first two campsites are on the other side of this valley. The trail can be steep in spots and requires a moderate level of fitness and mobility to reach the secluded campsites. The third site is a bit farther into the forest, the little A-frame cabin, Anchor sits on the edge of the spring-fed Brickyard Creek that flows year-round. We have many plans for the property and depending on when you stay, the campground will be in various stages of development. The campsites, trailhead / parking area, and trails are scheduled to be completed in early spring. We hope to add amenities such as a camp sauna and screened-in gazebo later in the 2024 summer / fall. Thank you for considering joining us on this journey to build a peaceful place to play and stay in the woods. “In every walk in nature one receives far more than he seeks.” John Muir

Weekend Trip to Off Grid Auroras

We had a great time at Kyle's rustic cabin. The off-grid solar made cooking a breeze. It was so nice to have hot showers too. It was close to the things that we wanted to visit like Black Beach and Iona Beach, yet still felt private and remote. Google maps took us straight to it and Kyle's directions were spot on. The waterless toilet took a little get it used to, but it was nice to have. We did have a little bit of a challenge finding a place to take our garbage when we left, but after searching a bit, we found a campground that accepted it.

Wonderful place to stay! The cabin was so neat and full of fun little details. Molly was the kindest host! So thoughtful and welcoming. We loved cooking our dinner and breakfast on the campfire, and exploring duluth and two harbors (this place is the perfect distance to either city!) we hope to visit again soon!!

The Landing Cabin was exactly what a friend and I needed for a semi-last-minute trip up to Duluth to support friends running Grandma’s Marathon! Molly was a lovely host and so kind while we were there. We met her animals and chatted about the area and her and her family’s story a bit. We loved the fresh eggs and bread! And being greeted by the two dogs, truly gentle giants, was especially sweet each time we came back!

We had an amazing time at the Anchor. The hike in and hike out was so fun! It was our dogs first ever camping experience and she had a blast. Also the porta potties are the cleanest I have ever been in. We will be back to try out the other camps!

And look at this view toward the outhouse! Even it's gorgeous!

This was absolutely more than I anticipated it would be. What a friendly family, amazingly friendly dogs, and welcoming atmosphere. Even the kids help with the guests! We felt very welcome, the firewood was endless, and Molly and her husband have thought of everything. You could need. Everything from an umbrella in case it rains to a toothbrush, just in case you forgot. One. Homemade bread was waiting for us and that was completely a surprise and absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough good things, but this family and this property and this rental is a delight. Very private feeling yet welcoming atmosphere. Thank you!

This is an amazing Glamp! A hidden gem for sure! Molly was super nice and informative about the land and places that were close by to visit. Her dogs are really friendly and it was fun to meet the sheep and see Kevin run around! We loved her flower bouquet and enjoyed some fresh produce from the farm. If you're headed up this way, definitely spend some time here. It's very quiet and peaceful. We would stop again! 11 out of 10 stars

The cabin was very cozy, easily accessible, and had a great outdoor area to hang out. The stars are so bright here that you could see the Milky Way! There is running water but it comes out slow and cold, so I wouldn’t recommend doing a ton of dishes there but it wasn’t a problem at all for us.

We decided to unconnect from the world and just get away from our daily hustle and bustle living in the city. This cabin is absolutely adorable, clean and has everything you need for a glamping experience. NO internet or WiFi and didn’t find any close by. We could connect to satellite and text but even that is spotty. Our host was super attentive, had all sorts of things in the cabin that made our stay even better that we would have never thought to pack. Kitchen set up was perfect, bed was comfy, and the outhouse was as modernized as they come. Definitely recommend.
