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.

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

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!

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.

Thanks for having everything set up when I arrived! I rode my bike from Chicago to Pell Lake, and Colleen was helpful to set me up with electricity, water, and gave me advice on where to find some good dinner before my next day's ride.

We were so grateful to drive up and park on Julie’s horseshoe! We’d had a trying day, with a turkey flying into our camper windshield earlier in the day and making a big mess. The peace of the campsite and the beauty of the adjacent meadow was just what we needed. Sharing our woes with Julie during the check-in, she offered kindness and support.

Great spot to relax and view the stars at night! It feels really secluded when you get to your site, there’s 1 more in the vicinity but you still have plenty of privacy. You may hear some road noise during the day but it gets quiet and serene as it gets dark. Host was kind and communicative, she even came by around checkout to see if we needed any help. All around a great time, I can’t wait to spend another night here again in the future
