Weekend Trip to Da Sugarbush on Stanley Lake

Silver Maple tent site has abundant room including two picnic tables. Surroundings offered a flat tent space, lovely tall trees to hear the wind’s rustle leaves and look up at the canopy above with mesh ceiling. Near a pit outhouse, bonus. Just a brief gravel road to beautiful wood showers and more amenities like an outdoor sink with faucet, Starlink internet and dock at lakeside for stargazing or other fun. Welcoming hosts, just look for gravel road turn by handful mailboxes before/after Wicklund (don’t turn there). You’ll know the entry point from seeing blue property lines. Look forward to a return trip!!

Matt takes excellent care of the property. His pride is obvious. He shares stories about the history of the resort. Everything is CLEAN! Each site has its own trash and recycling bins, so no hauling. I don't need to explain how wonderful it is to have our water hookup and sewer hookups right on site. We also had great conversations with him. I'd highly recommend!

Nice site on Butternut Lake! Great firepit and views of a quiet cove on the lake. Plenty of room for the dogs to play and hang out. I wish it had a dock as fishing from the shore was pretty much impossible with all of the lilly pads. We did not use the porta potty since we are self-contained and didn't need it. There is some firewood available but you will need an axe or a splitting maul. I split some but found a great place on the way to the site in Park Falls that sells bulk firewood. We would definitely come back again, I would give it 5 stars if it had a dock and would certainly pay more.

Weekend Trip to Land O' Lakes Nature RV Resort

We booked this spot for our very first HipCamp and maiden RV outing, and it became the place where I asked my partner to marry me; it’s safe to say it was unforgettable! The campground is immaculately clean, well-kept, and blissfully quiet. Beautiful, well-marked trails begin right on the property, and a short walk led us to a secluded lake where we spent an entire afternoon without seeing another soul, pure serenity. Matt is an absolute class act. Knowing we were brand-new to RV life, he cheerfully offered to guide us while backing in our rig and checked in just enough to be sure we had everything we needed. His pride of ownership shows in every detail around camp; he and his father have built something truly special here. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for a quiet, well-run campground with a genuine host and gorgeous scenery, this is the place.
