Mayville Farm

Our home and property was originally built by the Norwegian immigrants that emigrated to the US, settling and founding North Cape (NOT Wind Lake or Franksville, no matter what Hipcamp tells you...). This property has evolved and devolved in the last 170 years and I’m working hard to restore it all again. 

I also keep sheep for wool and ducks, chickens and geese for eggs. My little hobby farm has become a full-on farm sanctuary in recent years and our pigs, donkeys, etc. are mostly rescues. We also have pet emus.

Learn more about this land:

Hobby farm, just starting out. Historic property, sheep, ducks, geese, chickens. Very quiet, peaceful place! We have quickly become a farm sanctuary for unwanted pet livestock. Please check us out on social media and feel free to tag your location in photos! I also make soap (check out The Humble Soaping Company), home brew beers wines, meads, spirits and gardens abound all around the property! We do have pets, and can interact as much or as little as you’d like. Our place is the perfect one-night stop when traveling long distances! Please arrive by 8pm. It can be challenging to find your parking spot in the dark. Please adhere to check-out times. 

Water Hookup

Barrington Camp Close to Town

Small farm property conveniently located 10 minutes from town, bike trails, recreation center, hospital, train to downtown Chicago, and restaurants including a popular marina bar/grill/ music venue called the Broken Oar.

Snuggle up to a nice cozy campfire or take a nice nature walk though the woods. Guaranteed to be a memory to last a lifetime. 

Absolutely NO HUNTING!!!

Campsite is getting better and better by the week as I improve it! 

Private Lake Mary Channel Camping

Tent Camping Site on Lake Mary’s Channel. Private place to pitch a couple tents, hammocks, enjoy a campfire, and most importantly enjoy access to Lake Mary & Lake Elizabeth via a short channel which is only steps from the door of your tent! 

The channel is shallow, while you cannot swim from the campsite to the lake you can easily launch kayaks and after 850ft of paddling you are out on Lake Mary! 

15minute safe sidewalk or quiet neighborhood road walk to Lance Park from camping site. The park also has ample parking. Drive time from camping site to the park is only 2minutes! Lance Park has a wonderful pubic beach swimming area. The water quality of Lake Mary is amazing with great clarity and no algae or seaweed growth. It also has a public boat launch. The park also hosts the “AquaNut” Water Show every Wednesday and Saturday nights in the summer! 

Lance Park also has a clean and very large handicap accessible porta potty that can be used 24/7.

Twin Lakes has a cute Main Street with lots of fun to be had. There are also several restaurant/bars on Lake Mary or Lake Elizabeth. 

Lake Elizabeth can be accessed by a small waterway that connects the lakes. Kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes can easily float under a lower foot and car bridge. Larger and taller motorized boats cannot move between lakes. 

This camping site offers such a fun and inexpensive way to get outdoors this summer!

Swimming area and Lance Park. No wake from sunset or 8:30 PM (whichever comes first) until 9:00 AM for peaceful water activities 

2min drive from camping site to Lance Park

18min walk from camping site to Lance Park

Shows at Lance Park every Wednesday and Saturday nights 6:30pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day

Lots of painted turtles and fish in the channel! 

Only a 850 foot paddle from the campsite to the beautiful 300 acre Lake Mary! 

View from the street. Meandering trail to waterfront campsite to provide maximum privacy. 

Lots of firewood for your campfires! Included at no additional charge!

850ft distance from campsite to the lake! So close you can literally almost see it from the campsite if there were not bends in the channel! 

Small Orchard on 150 acre Farm

CAMPSITE IS LOCATED IN THE ORCHARD. Please do not enter the main farm driveway. If you are not looking at Apple trees you are in the wrong place.  Pets need to be on a leash and cleaned up after. Please do not leave them out of the orchard. 

My grandfather purchased the property and everything you can see 360° around you in 1953. The orchard was started in 1962 and the large trees date back to that time and still produce apples.

My dad took over in 1985 and it has been part of my life ever since. After my dads passing in 2017 the property fell to me.

At it's peak there were 85 trees that produced 500 bushels of apples per season. All hand pruned, sprayed and picked. We sold them 5 days a week at local farmers markets.

Currently, about two dozen trees are maintained, the rest feed the local wildlife. An orchard is a year round commitment.

Enjoy your stay.

~Dale

This is a small working family orchard. Sites are rustic.  RV and trailers can park on grass or the driveway.  Tents ⛺ can set up on the grass.  Sites are not marked. HipCamp requires that I list them separately for reservation purposes.  The location is not busy. Maybe one or two reservations a weekend in the summer. Pick a spot you are comfortable & enjoy your stay.  One picnic table on site. One fire pit. Minutes from the Rock River for paddling and fishing. No bathroom on site. No water onsite. No onsite camp host. My Uncle is your neighbor, so I will hear about any&nbsp;mischief you might get into.

Rehm Acres

Offering a great little spot to overnight as a rest area between Chicago and Milwaukee only 2 miles off of 294.  Nothing special but a low cost option to park and relax.  Do have a donkey and peacocks that can make noise and do have morning traffic, but the area is indeed rural and the property is relaxing.
Site is close to house but our property is your property during your stay.

Driveway curves into the yard with Campsite parking then in the front yard to the right with our house on left of driveway

Rustic Escape on an 8-Acre Homestead – Pines, Trails & Wetland Views

Step into a peaceful, off-grid retreat on our 8-acre homestead—where open grassy fields meet whispering pines, and nature invites you to slow down. Set up camp in the wide-open meadow or follow a quiet trail through the woods to a secluded, wooded site overlooking untouched wetlands. It’s the perfect spot to relax in a hammock, stargaze by the fire, or just kick back and stay a while.

We border protected wetland conservation land, offering a truly remote and rustic experience—secluded, yet still close to town for anything you might need.

Please note: This is boondocking only. There are no toilet facilities, so we ask campers to bring a bucket, sawdust, and pack everything out. It’s your stuff—we don’t want it!

Farm Life Bonus: We share the land with friendly goats and egg-laying hens. You’re welcome to say hello, feed the goats (they LOVE weeds—feel free to pull some and treat them!), and even pick up fresh eggs in the morning ($5/dozen—just ask, as availability varies).

This is a back-to-nature experience, perfect for tent campers, vanlifers, and RVers who enjoy space, simplicity, and real connection with the land.

Campsite and RV site nextdoor. Wooded area behind.
