35mi from Plum City · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Tranquil and quiet sanctuary on 40 acres of gorgeous mixed terrain, open for your enjoyment and recreation! A 12 acre lake with amazing wildlife/birdwatching, 20 acres of wooded trails for hiking or mtn biking, a 6 acre meadow, gorgeous sunsets and night skies, and whatever else you make of it. All this just an hour from the Twin Cities and directly off a county road for simple access.
Our sites prioritize privacy and coziness with the aesthetic of the natural environment in its pure state for your enjoyment. They come with a free bundle of firewood, and kayaks are available to rent for a modest fee.
Note in planning your trip: we are blessed to be immersed in all aspects of Wisconsin culture, and that includes an occassional gun shoot! The nearby Amery Sportsmans Club has regular skeet shooting hours just twice per week, Sundays 11-2pm, and Tuesdays 5-8 pm. It can be quite noisy for an otherwise blissful environment! Tuesday bookings are therefore 1/2 off, and please keep this in mind should you want to extend your stay into Sunday afternoons during the warm seasons.

Such a great retreat from the city!
I used the provided kayak for a sunset paddle and the firewood was at site as well.
Gorgeous sunset and even better sunrise!
Quiet, private, and the view was stunning. I took a bunch of photos to make oil paintings. Bob Ross! Haha
The host was so great helping me back out on my tear drop’s maiden voyage.
Nice guy! Thanks Adam!
Only an hour from TC and plenty of places to stock up for needs along the way.
Loved it.

Absolutely amazing. At first we weren’t sure about the unoccupied camper sharing the site with us, but we used the porch for staging various things and the kids enjoyed putting a “play” on for us. The kayaks were an amazing experience and definitely worth the add on. This was our 3 kids’ first camp experience: 4, 8, and 11. These kids are diehard iPad kids and they didn’t even ask about their devices even once. They had so much fun exploring, kayaking, swimming, finding bugs, and sharing in the camp chores. The site was large enough for us to have a camp kitchen, a bigger and a smaller tent, plus a sanitary tent (bucket toilet and shower). The added amenities of the electricity and water were indispensable for our large and inexperienced crew. We can’t thank Adam enough for the incredible experience his land offered us!

This was the perfect weekend getaway just an hour and a half out of the Twin Cities! I decided to hit the road last minute and Adam answered me right away to let me know which spot would be the best fit for my 26 foot Skoolie. Everything was clean and there was even complementary firewood there for me. I was hoping to get out for a long run in the morning and Adam took time out of his day to explain the best routes for me to run. I never got out on the water, but that looked perfect too! Definitely will visit again.

There were some truly magical moments here—the sunset over the pond was stunning, and the nighttime sounds of nature were beautifully undisturbed. I found two perfect trees for my hammock in the shade, and the outdoor shower was a refreshing touch.
Communication with the host was fantastic—super responsive both before and during my stay, which made things much easier.
I appreciated being able to order firewood ahead of time. Most of the wood by the fire pit was damp, but the dry bundle that was included burned hot enough to get the rest going.
A few things did take away from the natural vibe: the pond was too algae-filled to swim comfortably, and the plastic jugs, random porch clutter, and a rusted table and chair disrupted the wild aesthetic. Highway noise was noticeable at times, and it took a minute to figure out which gate to use.
Still, if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with some real beauty and don’t mind a little rustic imperfection, this spot delivers.

Great view of the lake and nice to have the kayak to explore it. Adam was quick to get back to me in answering my questions. There is a nice lower level deck (without railings) to put your chairs on and to set up the Blackstone for grilling. Site is very private as well. We really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful lake view. Easy to get to. The host was friendly and checked in with us to see how our stay was going. In case accessibility is a concern, the path to access the lake is on the steep side. Swans, frogs and turtles all came by for a visit, it was a lovely weekend.

Adam was a great host, knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. As a single woman I felt safe there and slept really well. I was a last minute guest on a random weeknight while driving through the state and Adam was able to get everything ready for me within a few hours.
Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend.
Level ground for my van, private and had shade.
The kayak was an awesome bonus.

The sunsets were stunning, especially on the kayaks! The site is plenty big for two tents; a 4 person and a two person. There was a random camper on the site that was unexpected, but we worked around it. We saw a lot of wildlife including swans, turtles, birds of all sorts, and the tiniest, most beautiful fawn we've ever seen!
