Lakeside Cozy Camp — Your Own Private Acre Near Big Hills Lake
Looking for a simple, peaceful place to camp with easy access to the lake? Welcome to Lakeside Cozy Camp!
Our campsite sits on a private, wooded one-acre property directly across the street from Big Hills Lake. You’ll have the entire acre to yourself, with plenty of room to relax, explore, set up your tent, or bring a small camper or RV.
🌲 A private property — but not a remote campsite
The campsite itself is tucked into the trees, giving you your own space and a peaceful wooded atmosphere. There are no other campers sharing the property, so you won't be camping in a campground or next to another tent.
We want to be completely transparent about what to expect: this is a private acre, but it is not a secluded or remote wilderness campsite. Although there are many mature and towering trees, you may occasionally see or hear our neighbor, especially during busy summer weekends.
If you're looking for a private place to enjoy the outdoors without needing complete isolation, this could be a great fit.
🚣 Big Hills Lake is right across the street
One of the best parts of staying here is the easy access to Big Hills Lake. The public boat launch and recreation area are directly across the street, giving you convenient access to:
• Boat launching
• Fishing
• Swimming
• Kayaking & paddleboarding
• Ice fishing and winter lake activities
• A public dock
• Public restrooms
You’ll need to cross the road to access the lake, but it's just a short walk from the property.
🔥 Your campsite
The property is a simple, rustic camping experience surrounded by mature trees. You'll have access to:
• Private one-acre property
• Fire pit
• Firewood
• Picnic table
• Flat camping area
• Space for tents
• Space for camper vans and smaller RVs
• Pet-friendly property
• Outdoor solar string lights
There is no electricity, potable water, shower, or private toilet on the property, so please come prepared for primitive camping. A public restroom is available at the recreation area across the street.
🐕 Bring your dog
Dogs are welcome to enjoy the property with you. Because this is a wooded property near a road and neighboring homes, please be respectful of property boundaries and keep an eye on your pets.
🌲 A simple Northwoods getaway
Lakeside Cozy Camp is best suited for campers who enjoy the simple side of camping — sitting around a fire, exploring the woods, spending the day on the lake, and coming back to a quiet campsite at night.
We're close to snowmobile trails, hiking, fishing, boating and Nordic Mountain, making this a convenient home base for outdoor adventures in the area.

Back in the 1800s the land conditions were ideal for a raspberry farm. The original settler's barn and farmhouse were still standing in 1960 when our family obtained the land. Since then, old buildings have diminished back to Earth. What used to be a small creek is now a small pond and trout stream. We have a cabin, outhouse, outdoor shower and other camping accommodations depending on the camping experience you are looking for!
Reconnect with nature, find your tranquility, enjoy the wildlife, be amazed by the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There's swimming, or just relaxing here!

AND visit the farm with the CUTEST farm babies!!!!!
"The Twenty" is a neat campsite right on the Little Wolf River. This land has been in my family for generations. My dad tells stories of fishing the holes while they made hay when he was a kid. Definitely fishing opportunities, as well as floating down the river (tube, canoe, kayak, sup). There's a nice swimming hole right out from the campsite.
The other property is on my pasture-based farm. It's a few miles from the Little Wolf. There is the "FarmStay" Camper, as well as a couple campsites nestled in the woods with a great views of the pastures, woods, and wetlands.
We've also recently added a pond that's able to be used by our guests to swim in!
There are 100+ acres that can explored on this 100% pasture-based beef operation. We're working on improving the trails. It's beautiful out there!
Farm tours and canoe/tube rental available.
The surrounding area has a TON of activities to offer for water fun and exploring! Feel free to ask!

Ever want to leave your job and unite with nature? Me too, after 10-plus years of tax preparation, I found myself with a desire to farm and to become closer to the food we take for granted. This farm is unique in that it was cleared and stripped of its topsoil and its fill was sold off to the state. What was left behind was a pond and some poor farmland. I purchased this less desirable property inexpensively and have been working tirelessly to regenerate the property to a farm that mimics nature and our natural ecosystem. I have planted over 1000 trees and perennial shrubs to move this property into an oak savannah-like natural farming system. In 2015 I purchased this property without any farming experience and have begun to transform this property into a beautiful destination. We look forward to seeing you and welcoming you into our ecosystem.

I'm located between Wisconsin Dells and Lyndon Station on a cozy little 3-acre corner lot at the intersection of Highway 12 and Oak Glen Circle.
The property is mostly wooded with beautiful white oak trees that I've done my best to preserve.
Each year, I welcome nesting bluebirds, robins, and ruby-throated hummingbirds. You'll also find several bird feeders that attract a wide variety of songbirds, along with squirrels, rabbits, and woodchucks that call the property home.
Please note: I do have neighboring homes nearby, but it's a very quiet neighborhood of homeowners with no noisy renters. Please also note that as the host, I do live on property. I offer you your privacy but on occasion you may see me outside doing random chores on property. Please also note I have 2 dogs. They are very friendly animals and it's very possible at some point during your stay they may introduce themselves to you. Thankyou for understanding.

We had a great experience here. Cary was a very responsive host and the site is spacious and quiet. We rented a teardrop camper out of curiosity and loved it- it was clean and cozy and featured battery-powered lights and ventilation fan. It also had a foam mattress so we didn’t even need to use our inflatable. Shower was nice and hot.

We had an amazing time here. It is a beautiful property, very peaceful. You can see the stars at night and hear the water from the river. We stayed in site number one, which seemed to be best for car camping/small trailers. There are a number of amazing sites on the property for tent camping, just might be hard to access with a larger vehicle. But there is a parking area.
Michael is an amazing host, very welcoming, has good energy and is very generous, all around a great guy. We used tubes and kayaks in the river and had a blast. The property is well taken care of and there are a number of awesome seating areas along the river. There are trails that wind through the woods on the property. We will definitely be back in the future.
