My husband Rob and I own a 40 acre property approximately 10 miles from Bayfield, Wi. We have a micro organic farm with hundreds of wild apple trees and believe in leaving the land better than we found it. Rob loves permaculture, managing soils, pruning apple trees and feeding his community nutrient dense food. I work as a hospice nurse and help out on the farm when I am able and we have 2 boys, Arlo and Owen. We keep busy! We offer 3 rustic rentals onsite, but each is very private and secluded. Consider all 3 for a larger gathering! We look forward to hosting you for a farm visit.

Hi there!
We have 5 yurts spread across our 40 acres with each yurt having lots of individual space and privacy. We hand built our yurts from scratch using wood from our land and local lumber, as well as sewing all the vinyl ourselves. The yurts are almost completely locally sourced, everything was handmade by us, and sustainably sourced. We are really excited to share the land we love with folks from near and far.
Your yurt is equipped with a full sized futon, two burner stove kitchen with all cooking appliances and utensils, 2 gallons of fresh drinking water (as well as oil, salt, pep, coffee, and tea all provided), a small dining table with chairs, and an outdoor fire pit.
A short 7 min drive from our property is beautiful Little Sand Bay beach. This free, public use National Park beach is gorgeous with views of Sand and York Islands, great swimming spots, $2.00 hot showers, and kayak launch.
Important things to note about your yurt site! The access to our property is via a long dirt road, this road is accessible for all vehicles but it is about a 2min drive through the woods to get to the yurt sites. Once you arrive on the property your yurt is a 2-4min (depending on which yurt you choose) hike up a hill from the parking area. I recommend backpacking in your items. Wheely coolers and bags will not enjoy the terrain. The Portapotty is located at the parking area as well. That being said, a little bit of walking will be involved in your stay :) If you love walking you are in luck and can explore the trails on the property!

National forest 117mi from Cornucopia · 351 sites
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, what a unique name and deservedly so as the forest itself is as diverse and attention getting as it’s namesake! The deep northwoods of Wisconsin offers a ton of hiking, biking, and camping to get stoked about; there’s 800 miles of hiking trails alone. But if you’re looking for a truly unique outdoor experience, try offroading or cross country skiing old military roads in the winter. There’s stunning Lake Superior views from St. Peter’s Dome and 70 foot Morgan Falls is sure to cool you off on a hot summer day. We dig the Quartz Trail where you can see giant quartz deposits discovered by the Native Americans who used to inhabit the area. There’s plenty of camping options to make this a wilderness weekend (or more) and with over 1.5 million acres to explore, we doubt you’ll be running out of rad things to discover!

Located just down from Bayview Beach, our property sits nestled between Lake Superior and the Onion River, which runs through the property just behind the cabin.
You will have a private beach on Lake Superior all to yourself. While neighbors may be around from time to time, especially on weekends, you will not have to share anything but the sound of waves hitting the shore and birds chirping as the sun sets in the west.
You can set up a tent by the cabin or on the beach side in the grass or sand areas—or even on the beach itself if you'd like to catch a sunrise. There is also room for an RV, teardrop trailer, or camper van, if that's what you'd like to bring.
A fire ring and firewood are provided, along with some chairs. Kayaks are available after booking for a fee, but you are responsible for safe operation and for understanding when weather conditions are not suitable for their use.
At this time, the cabin is not included or open for use, nor is there power available for outside hookups. There is no running water (besides the river and Lake Superior), and no toilets on site. However, you will pass public toilets on your way in—they are roughly 90 seconds away by car. Otherwise, you are responsible for bringing a camp toilet.
Pets are welcome but must be leashed when others are around and well-behaved. Please dispose of waste properly and respect the natural surroundings.
We've had this property since my siblings and I were kids, so please be respectful of the property and neighbors and treat others as you would like to be treated in return. You should not be bothered by anyone. Please practice pack-in/pack-out and clean up after yourselves.
Beyond that, nearby attractions include the city of Bayfield and the Apostle Islands, a short 15-minute drive away.
Bayfield, Wisconsin, is a breathtaking destination that serves as the gateway to the Apostle Islands. Whether you are seeking adventure on the water, a peaceful retreat in nature, or a taste of local charm, this lakeside gem has something for everyone.
Here is an overview of the area and some top attractions to add to your itinerary:
Must-Visit Attractions & Activities:
• Apostle Islands National Lakeshore: You cannot miss this stunning archipelago. Explore the 21 islands and mainland sea caves by kayak, water taxi, or scenic cruise. It is arguably the most iconic experience in the region.
• Madeline Island: Just a short scenic ferry ride from Bayfield, this is the largest of the Apostle Islands. Visit Big Bay State Park for hiking trails and sandy beaches, or explore the shops and eateries in the village of La Pointe.
• Orchards & Berry Farms: Bayfield is often called the "Berry Capital of Wisconsin." Depending on the season, you can spend an afternoon picking strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or apples at one of the many family-owned farms overlooking Lake Superior.
• Hiking & Waterfalls: The region is a hiker’s paradise. Check out the Meyers Beach Sea Caves Trail for cliffside views, or explore hidden gems like Lost Creek Falls near Cornucopia.
• Big Top Chautauqua: For a unique cultural experience, catch a concert or performance under the "Big Blue Tent." It’s a venue that blends live music with the natural beauty of the Northwoods.
• Mt. Ashwabay Ski & Recreation Area: In winter, enjoy downhill skiing, snowboarding, and fat biking on groomed trails. In warmer months, it offers scenic hiking and views.
• Local Flavors & Artisans: After a day of exploring, head into downtown Bayfield for fresh-caught whitefish, locally crafted cider or spirits, and charming independent bookstores and art galleries.

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.

Next time you find yourself on Minnesota’s scenic Highway 61, do everything you can to pull over for the stunning views at Gooseberry Falls State Park. The region has been a seat of human activity on the north shore of Lake Superior since at least 1670, and it’s no wonder—the river gorge carved out of ancient rock and five many-tiered waterfalls will literally take your breath away, and developed modern camp sites provide comfort and ease so you can spend more time exploring.Bike the paved Gitchi-Gami trail, or hike any of the connector paths to the Superior Hiking Trail system. Pack some sammies and enjoy the Picnic Flow area, situated on an ancient lava flow that provides great views of Lake Superior. Check out the historic rustic granite structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, whose design was overseen by Italian stonemasons and is very colorful. With so much to do, it’s worth it to invest in the year pass if you live nearby—for Minnesotans, the first time at Gooseberry is never the last.

Escape to Superior Beach Camp and immerse yourself in the beauty and privacy of a cleared camping area situated above 500' feet of sand and pebble beach on the world’s greatest lake.
Agate campsite is very generously sized and is all yours. Surrounded by a mix of poplar and birch with a few white pine sprinkled in, the main camp area is set back from the lake atop a 70' bluff with peekaboo views of Lake Superior. A short walk down a private path from your campsite gives you access to a beautiful Lake Superior beach to swim, skip rocks, search for agates, or just enjoy the panoramic views of the lake and the town of Duluth on the opposite shore.
Agate campsite previously featured a "look out point" that has been altered by the natural erosion of the red clay banks that comprise much of Lake Superior's south shore. While you can still access this area, doing so will require more effort and care, and we no longer allow camping on the point.
Superior Beach Camp located is 2.5 hours north of the Twin Cities and perfectly positions you to discover all the wonders of the Twin Ports. Explore this amazing area or stay at camp, set up your chair in the sand and take in the many moods of Mother Superior. Watch the ships come and go to the sparkly backdrop of Duluth’s city lights. The crackle of a driftwood fire on the beach provides the perfect soundtrack as you watch for shooting stars and the aurora.
Stock up on supplies and explore the charming industrial town of Superior, WI – 15 minutes from your campsite. Spend a day mountain biking the Duluth Traverse and touring the the wonderful local dining and tap room scenes of Duluth and Superior. Canal Park, downtown Duluth, is a 25 minute drive.
If you’d like to venture further, you could meander up the North Shore. Or keep it local and check out Bayfield and the Apostle Islands – only 75 minutes East. Stop through the charming lakeside village of Cornucopia on your way.
Or perhaps you’d like to experience world class trout fishing on the Brule River a half hour from Superior Beach Camp.
Maybe Parks are your thing: Amnicon Falls, one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful State Parks, is reachable in 10 minutes by car. Drive a half hour further to Pattison State Park and take in Wisconsin’s tallest waterfall. On the Minnesota side, the magic of Jay Cooke State Park is 30 minutes west (and puts you on the doorstep of legit white water rafting).
Whether you're looking for solace and relaxation in a blissful [great] lakeside setting or simply seeking a convenient place to rest your head while exploring the many adventures a stone’s throw from your campsite, there is something for everyone who camps here.
Superior Beach Camp is a clean, quiet, peaceful, primitive setting. We appreciate that our campers help us keep it this way; remember to pack in any supplies or provisions you need, and leave no trace when you depart so our next guests can enjoy a clean campsite.

Ultra private secluded island paradise located on lovely Madeline Island with 300 feet of lakeshore and stunning views of the coveted North Channel. Seven of the 22 Apostle Islands are in view on a clear day and not one electric light is visible from the property at night. Enjoy dramatic fog while you sip your morning coffee, frequent sailboat regattas during the day, and stunning double sunsets as they reflect across over 5 miles of open water. (ps. this reflective effect is also in play for the northern lights if you're lucky)
Amenities: ZERO! Well, other than two fire pits and a propane grill (BYO propane if you want to use that)
Expect a lumpy lawn with space for up to 8 tents located right on top of a 100 foot cliff leading straight down to lake superior. If needed, showers, bathrooms, etc. are located 1.2 miles away at Big Bay Town Park. (no entry fee required) There you can also find the best beach on the island and canoes for rent if you'd like to explore the massive lagoon behind it chalk full of fish.
Pack in, pack out. Enjoy!

Such a lovely stay! The cabin was so cute and cozy. We loved our fresh baked apple bread and being greeted by the pups, Hank and Stella. Our hosts thought of all the little details to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. Would love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Balsam Ridge Retreat
My stay at the Mini Coop was absolutely perfect! Linda was so kind and responsive, and I had everything I needed for a perfect weekend getaway. The Mini Coop was perfect for just me. The heater helped me feel so cozy on the cold autumn night. I plan on being back!

The stuga continues to be a highlight for my sisters and I! We absolutely love coming every fall. We had a rainy day but the cabin is so cozy we weren’t phased in the slightest. Lots of games and reading in the rocking chair made it dreamy like every other year. A new highlight was the owl we have been hearing every year we visit was spotted watching us walk on the trail. Thank you Linda and Chris for making us feel so welcome every year.

2 nights at Balsam Ridge Retreat
Linda and Chris are my favorite hosts that I've ever had :) I've stayed with them at least five times now and they are always so thoughtful, kind and caring. They think of all the little things and go above and beyond. The Stuga is so comfy and cozy and the setting is gorgeous. If you want a lovely, peaceful, cozy retreat, I highly recommend this sweet spot!

Amazing gem right on the lake. The bay keeps Lake Superior calm so waves here don’t get too big and is perfect for kayaking or canoeing. The campsite was easy to find, well maintained, and a true pleasure to hang out at. Bayfield is about 10 minutes away, but this spot is worth the privacy. Our dog loved playing on the beach and in the water all day. We would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to North Shore Hermitage
Molly’s little cabin was great! The hosts were welcoming and hospitable, while still giving us privacy and enough space to enjoy our time on their farm. We really loved all the little extras that made it feel personalized and special. The sauna is not to be missed! The animals were fun to meet and the dogs made sure the space was safe from predators. We can’t wait to come back on our next adventure on the north shore!

Weekend Trip to Balsam Ridge Retreat
Staying at Balsam Ridge was like living in a storybook. We arrived at dusk to the warm glow of twinkle lights to guide the way to our tent. Linda and Chris have thought of everything needed for a magical stay. From a warm welcome and tour of the resort to an electric tea kettle and games on hand, the little details made all the difference.
Thank you for the great memories!

We had a great stay at Sunset Bay! The site was large and private. Shelia was super responsive and a great host. She provided us with great directions, some dinner recommendations nearby, and firewood. The hosts checked on us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed and to answer any questions. All-in-all, a wonderful stay!!

Weekend Trip to Glamping in the Northwoods at the Kick Back Tiny Shack.
This was the best glamping cabin I have ever stayed at! Incredibly well stocked which can be hard to find. The property was beautiful and secluded. Best of all, the shower was hot and easy to use. The hosts were also extremely responsive and very pleasant people. I will definitely be staying here again!

2 nights at North Shore Hermitage
The Happy Camper was the perfect place for us to rest after long days exploring Duluth and Two Harbors. We appreciated being warmly welcomed with a freshly baked loaf of apple bread and given detailed instructions about the camper. The owners were very open to being contacted anytime with questions and/or concerns. A highlight for us was being greeted by pups Hank and Stella each morning and upon returning from our outings. Molly was so kind to give us a farm tour which we thoroughly enjoyed! She provided us with apples to feed the sheep and horse and took time to tell us about the animals. We would definitely recommend the Happy Camper as it has everything you need in a beautiful setting with very kind and responsive hosts!

This location is so special - you are right on Lake Superior with your own private beach area and firepit, amazing lake views and night sky views. Plenty of room for off-grid RV or tent camping. When we visited in late September it was very quiet. Just the sound of the waves. A short walk back to the top of the road takes you to a park with access to an even larger beach. Convenient location halfway between Bayfield and Washburn, which are the two larger towns where we spent most of our time. Amazing hikes all along this area, and of course the orchards, shops, etc. in the charming Bayfield port town. If you have an RV, it's worth boondocking here for a few days or as long as your batteries can manage. You can't find this experience in a traditional campground. We had a wonderful time and plan to return. Thank you to Peter for sharing this magical place!
