River's Edge is a four season adventure company in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, outfitting adventurers with equipment and guidance. The property is located on the Manitowish River, Heart of Vilas County bike trail, and Iron County snowmobile trails. By car we're about eight minutes from WinMan Trails, ten minutes from MECCA Trails and Mercer, three minutes from Manitowish Waters. As we're right on the bike path, riding to lunch or dinner is easy, with lots of yummy options close by.
We have two campsites on our property, primarily for adventurers looking for a central basecamp location from which to go do all the fun things we have available in the Northwoods. Campsites are located on the west end of the property, in proximity to all the activities, and include full hookups, a picnic table and fire ring.
Site One is closest to the river and bike path. It's more secluded and separate from the main lodge area. Of the two sites, this is the best if you plan to hang around camp and chill. It does have trees lining the parking space, so if you have a trailer above 11'-13' be careful backing in.
Site Two is right off of the main parking area next to the lodge building. While we're working on natural barrier growth, it is kind of in the middle of activity during our busy seasons. It is, however, the easiest to back into with a large trailer. If you're looking for a convenient place to bring your RV or trailer and don't mind being less secluded, this is for you. If you're looking for a national forest experience, this is not for you.
The main lodge is open for use until 10pm-ish. There are couches, tables and board games available for guests. A bathroom is available for campers in the lodge, however there is no shower. We highly recommend The Manitowish Waters Athletic Club for shower facilities, hot tub, and pool. Day passes are reasonably priced and the facility is extremely well appointed. It's about three minutes by car or ten by bike.
Campers get a discount on rental equipment. Wifi is available in the lodge.
Our sites are open year-round, although water service will be turned off when temps are below freezing.

On the upper Bad River, I have a special location that I'd like to share for others to enjoy.
I was fortunate to acquire this land 20 years ago and now that I have retired from the United States Air Force, I can dedicate time to create peaceful campsites along the river.
This land was originally railroad property as the railroad companies bought much land in the late 1800's to have options to place their railroads.
There is still a railroad track nearby but it has been unused since 2015 and it makes a nice hiking path along the river for many miles to the north into the national forest.
There are 3 waterfalls nearby and I will have many signs leading to the waterfalls.
There are 4 total campsites on the property, 1 site you can drive to (Eagle Pines), and 3 tent sites that require 1/8 mile hike to 2 sites, and a 1/4 mile hike to the other hike-in site.
There is no leash required for good pups. If your pup is aggressive with other dogs or people please leash them when on the hiking trails. If your pups would stay in your campsite no leash is required. Other campers may be hiking past your campsite on the trails that is still over 100 feet away from others campsites. You may run into others on the trails where others dogs may not be leashed. If your dog is aggressive to other dogs even if yours is on leash if you can’t control them please muzzle them.
This property is for sale if you may be interested. Please ask and I’ll send you the details.

Spy everything from wildflowers to black bears on the trails, and have that camera ready incase you see somethin' good. And in the cooler months? Leaf peeping and snowshoeing will make you glad you came to Ottawa when the crowds die down post summer. There’s something special about this place, experience Ottawa firsthand and reconnect with the great outdoors.

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.

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!

The view at this site was gorgeous! The hike to the site was an adventure for someone not as experienced with hiking, but I still managed fine. The site was very peaceful but a little buggy, not too surprising though as it’s nature haha. It was a very nice and clean campsite. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short, but hope we can return one day. We appreciate being provided with so much information prior to arrival. Thank you for maintaining such a lovely site. Cheers!

We thought Colton's property was a perfect spot! We enjoyed the quietness with the sounds of the wildlife. This is a perfect camping spot when you are not wanting any of the campground neighbors and chaos!♡
There is a firewood stand at the end of Haugen Road, which was super handy! We spent the day fishing Mineral Lake and English Lake. Mineral Lake there was not much for fish. The fish we caught on Enlish Lake werent too big. But enjoyed the peacefulness of the lakes!
Couple suggestions we had thought of for the property:
1. Have camping area mowed down. Leave a mower/weed whip, or suggest bringing one in the site posting.
2. We loved the Haugen Road Camp sign that let us know that was the property! We thought a sign on the tree with an arrow going up the hill saying "camp this way" or something along those lines would have been super helpful! We arrived late at night and was hard to find where the camp site actually was!
3. There was previous postings about the leg on the picnic table being broken. Its still broken and that corner of the table is not useful. Replace the table or reinforce the leg so that someone can sit there.
I was very pleased with this campsite and believe many others will enjoy their time here 🏕 🔥🎣🦉🌲

If you kayak or canoe, this is an amazing place to stay over on a weekend. Chris and Brandon are amazing guides and will set you up upstream so that you can paddle downstream exploring and learning and living. The use of the lodge was a wonderful surprise.

2 nights at Bad River Wilderness
This was an amazing campsite! Dean was helpful and extremely responsive to all our questions. We stayed at Eagle Pines with our 24ft travel trailer. The setting was beautiful with 2 docks on the river, a provided canoe, and wood to burn at very good prices. We hiked to the on-site waterfalls, paddled the river, and took a day trip to Copper Falls. We loved that our dogs could be off leash in the site and on the river. Being 5 minutes from town was also a perk as we needed to get a few groceries we forgot. We usually only camp at a location once as we like to experience what different areas have to offer, but we will definitely be back to this campsite again! We highly recommend this site for some private and device free rest and relaxation! 10/10 rating.

I'd recommend packing light so you don't need to take multiple trips from the car, like I did because I need to learn how to pack lighter! It's such a peaceful and enjoyable place to be and I'd highly recommend staying here for your next adventure into the woods!!!
