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.

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 mischief you might get into.

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.

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.

Jefferson County Fairgrounds

The Jefferson County Fair Park stands out as a premier destination for a diverse range of events, showcasing the pride and commitment of the county to its community. This county-owned and operated facility plays a vital role in youth education by highlighting local achievements and fostering community identity through the annual County Fair.
The Fair Park's development began with a use study in 1994, where community groups collaborated to envision the future of the Fairgrounds. In 1995, 20 acres were acquired from John Spangler, expanding the venue's capacity. By 1996, infrastructure improvements were initiated, including the construction of North Jackson Avenue, which enhanced accessibility but also isolated several older buildings. A fair park architect/planner was engaged in 1997, leading to a comprehensive report presented to the County Board. This report resulted in a significant investment of $1,000,000 from the general fund and a bond of $2,780,000 for extensive upgrades.
Over the years, the Fair Park has seen numerous enhancements. New facilities, such as a dairy barn with a parlor and a horse barn featuring 94 stalls, were constructed, along with additional restrooms and a food building. The grounds were beautified with landscaping, including trees, benches, and picnic tables, ensuring comfort for

Jefferson County Fairgrounds

20mi from Oconomowoc Lake
The Jefferson County Fair Park stands out as a premier destination for a diverse range of events, showcasing the pride and commitment of the county to its community. This county-owned and operated facility plays a vital role in youth education by highlighting local achievements and fostering community identity through the annual County Fair.
The Fair Park's development began with a use study in 1994, where community groups collaborated to envision the future of the Fairgrounds. In 1995, 20 acres were acquired from John Spangler, expanding the venue's capacity. By 1996, infrastructure improvements were initiated, including the construction of North Jackson Avenue, which enhanced accessibility but also isolated several older buildings. A fair park architect/planner was engaged in 1997, leading to a comprehensive report presented to the County Board. This report resulted in a significant investment of $1,000,000 from the general fund and a bond of $2,780,000 for extensive upgrades.
Over the years, the Fair Park has seen numerous enhancements. New facilities, such as a dairy barn with a parlor and a horse barn featuring 94 stalls, were constructed, along with additional restrooms and a food building. The grounds were beautified with landscaping, including trees, benches, and picnic tables, ensuring comfort for

My dog and I stayed at Ron’s on February 13th to test out hot tent camping. His location is also excellent for my fishing interests in Southeast Wisconsin. I started messaging Ron in late January to prepare for a trip. I had many questions, as I needed to be prepared for this first hot tent experience and also have some personal physical limitations, so needed to inquire multiple times. Ron responded quickly to about 6-8 inquiries over that time and seemed extremely kind while messaging and in-person was no different. Ron has a great energy and he made me feel very welcome and even cut some firewood to specifications for my hot tent wood stove, as I currently can’t physically process firewood myself. The property was similar to what I imagined and I loved being able to park right at our site, closing to the main clearing but still a deeper wooded feel with trees canvassing overhead. Didn’t take any pics and have most footage on a camera waiting to download. Will upload my pics soon. We’ll be back for sure. Thanks again Ron!

Easy to find and location was great. Very quiet and private. Would do a return visit. Chris was very responsive if I reached out but I didn't have any issues so didn't have a lot of interaction. Appreciate Chris for allowing my the privilege to camp on his property. I would like to return for another camp there.

I loved camping here for a couple of nights! I ended up driving in a bit later than anticipated and it was more difficult to find after sunset, so I agree with the host in that arriving before sunset is best. The stars were beautiful and it was peacefully quiet the entire time. I was so cozy, thank you for letting me stay!

First impression I thought I was lost, that’s the point right? Very responsive to communication and flexible. Escorted by farm tractor to location, let me see different sights to pick from. I picked tucked in the woods for some seclusion. Brought my two dogs and they loved running in the 3 different fields close by, we even visited the goats multiple times to give them some weeds. 2 other sites were being used but you would never know it. Would visit again for a quick getaway.

Our host responded quickly even though we made a last minute reservation. Colleen was very accomodating and helpful. On our third stay she said that they would be coming in the afternoon to do some work on the property which is a single campsite sharing a driveway with a small house. We enjoyed meeting them.
