Trapper Arts Retreat in NW Wisconsin has (3) waterfront sites and (1) wooded site. Located on a 1/4 mile long dead-end road (except Bob Lake West) on a 90 acre lake and only 5 minutes from the Chippewa County Forest! The Chippewa County Forest (over 10,000 acres) Hickory Ridge Trailhead is located about 5 miles away. You can enjoy miles of hiking, biking, ATV or horseback riding trails. Trails wind past small lakes and beaver ponds, as well as spectacular vistas and abundant wild life. LIST OF SITES (all of our sites now include a portable toilet, firewood, fire ring, water, power, picnic table and/or chairs). BIRCH Waterfront is named for the beautiful birch trees that frame your view of the lake that also includes soothing evening loon sounds :) It is our medium size campsite with a level gravel and grass pad with lakefront access via the long wooded dock and an included row boat for fishing and boating. EAGLE POINT Waterfront is a favorite because it is the most private, surrounded by trees and is on a elevated waterfront lot with steps down to a dock. This site has a canoe and a row boat and the best spectacular sunset views. The eagle's nest is in a tall pine tree above the steps! BOB LAKE WEST Waterfront is our only site that is not on this dead end road. It is located on the west side of the lake near the boat landing. This site has a bonus small storage shed which could be a cool kids cabin. It is partially wooded elevated site with stunning sunrise views. WOODED RUSTIC is a non-waterfront campsite for both tents or RV's that has been updated to a site with power and water and includes access to the lake and a row boat at our common access which is only about 200 yards down the road from this site. RV's can park on the gravel pad and tent guests can setup down the walking trail in the woods. This property was previously owned by Trapper Art who was well known in the area and started several successful businesses dating back to 1967 including Art's Snowmobile, Trapper Arts, and Art's Electric which was quite an accomplishment in the Wisconsin Northwoods!

This little chunk of land is a place that offers peace, solitude and an unplugging from life's hectic pace. Our 9 acre wooded lot is a quiet, secluded, woodsy retreat perched above the beautiful Chippewa River. The shallow river is perfect for wading, tubing, paddling & fishing. The undergrowth is a carpet of ferns & native plants. Birders will love this spot. We also encourage bringing your dog friends. We have several fire rings and encourage responsible campfire hangouts. *Please do not bring firewood. We provide dry wood & dead fall may be used for campfire, but ABSOLUTELY NO CUTTING from live trees, please. TENT site: Tent site is pretty basic-- it fits one large tent (12'x15') pad and has a fire ring, a cooking grate and picnic table. While it does not have electricity, there is an outlet on the property to charge phones, etc. BATHROOM: Our well maintained outhouse is a short walk from the tent site, and stays stocked with TP. It also has a solar light for night-time visits. CAMPERS/VANS: We have 30 Amp electric hookup available for small campers! Bring your pop-up or pull-behind.

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!

Awesome spot to camp. I endured some snow, but access to the site and plenty of firewood on hand made the cold enjoyable and manageable. I'll be back in calmer weather with my dog!

Camping at Eagles Point is the most relaxing, beautiful spot I’ve ever camped at. Quiet, sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking. Thank you for sharing that remarkable place! The hosts are fantastic!

It's a peaceful, beautiful site. The lake is especially gorgeous in the mornings. Everything was clean and ready to go when I got there and I couldn't ask for anything more. I had a great stay.

Joyce was a lovely host and met us when we arrived. Her camping area was flawless and scenic. She provided very kind small touches and the environment was relaxing. We used her site as a stop over during a longer trip but would certainly recommend for a family just wanting to bond and spend a quiet weekend outside together. We have dogs and had the luxury of letting them frolic off leash because we had the place to our selves. There is a small county highway fully out of sight and you can only slightly hear vehicles.

Weekend Trip to Trapper Arts Camping Retreat

We had water & electric hook ups at our site. And we caught some good sized bass and small sun fish. We didnt have any luck with northern but also unfamiliar with the area so that'd be on us. ;) we are used to goijg to places where campers are on top of each other with lots and lots of amenities because we have little kids. This place was the opposite but we loved it just as much! This trip was for just my husband and myself for our 9 year anniversary. We'd definitely come back with our kids but would probably stay at the Eagles Nest campsite for that trip just for the dock. But could totally do the same one with our kids too.

Beautiful, spacious site. On a very picturesque lake. Took out boat and canoe. Went swimming on sandy bottom. Great for playing yard games and good space for our group of 6 adults. Took nice hike at Hickory Ridge Trail, 4 miles away.

Beautiful, private site above Bob Lake in gorgeous tall pines. Lovely setting for a gathering of friends. Hiking nearby at Hickory Ridge was a nice 3.5 mile hike. Canoeing, row boats and swimming made us hungry for pizza making and a game night. Even the rain didn't dampen our fun! Can't wait for another trip!

We LOVED this site and would absolutely come back. I truly hope to!! It's a great set up, directions were easy to follow to get there (also such a pretty drive in) and Brenda/Mike made sure that we knew they were readily available, should we need anything. I was a little ehhh about $100/night for a site since we do not use electricity and water hookups, but if you want to kayak/swim/paddleboard...the location is SO WORTH IT. Lake Bob is beautiful for sunrises and sunsets, to watch the eagle fly around the lake or the fish jump out of the lake, to paddle around or to try to catch the Northern Lights, like we were lucky enough to do so. We took advantage of Lake Wissota State Park nearby (beach, biking, hiking) and visiting Eau Claire, Cornell and Chippewa Falls. Enjoy your stay at this great camping spot!

Personally I like to camp in areas where I'm not surrounded by a million campers like a trailer park. I also like to camp with a waterfront. It was a very peaceful campsite I even had my own dock to the lake. It's a huge campsite so there is plenty of room to situate yourself without the concern of others staring at you. I had a restful week there it was worth it. Also I felt safe there and I was a camping solo female.

This was our 2nd trip to Eagle Point, we love it there. It’s nice and large, so fits our camper and kids tents easily. The best part is the peacefulness, we tend to not camp on holiday weekends to avoid the crowds but that’s not a problem at Eagle Point:)

Weekend Trip to Trapper Arts Camping Retreat

We absolutely loved our stay here! The campsite was spacious, quiet, and tucked among the tall pines with stunning lake views. Cooking over the fire pit in the morning and watching the sunset over the water in the evening made it feel so peaceful and relaxing. One of the best surprises was how few bugs there were—it made sitting outside so enjoyable! The restrooms were very clean and convenient, and at night we were treated to a sky full of stars. Falling asleep to the sounds of loons on the lake and owls in the trees was magical. Between the privacy of the site, the easy access to the lake, and the overall atmosphere, this spot was everything we hoped for and more. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful getaway in nature.

My husband and I loved camping at Eagle Point. The site was spacious, private, and beautiful! We enjoyed the gorgeous view of Bob lake from the camp site and from the dock. We spent our time swimming, paddling in the row boat and canoe, sitting by the campfire, and fishing. Our 2 standard poodles had the time of their life. So fun, relaxing, and peaceful!
