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!

There's 2 properties, both beautiful and special. ADDED AMENITIES!!! Shower available! Game Room!! Porta-potty/Outhouse!! Pedal boat on the pond!! 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! HipCamp STAR Host!!! woohoo!

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.

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.

I spent a lot of my childhood growing up on friends farms, and my stay at Rachel’s family farm brought back so many happy memories! My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility of staying in the camper on the farm! Our daily visits from Flower and Peanutbutter was a treat for us! They are Rachael’s goats that roam the farm. We loved feeding them our vegetable scraps. The camper was comfortable and had everything we needed for a weekend stay, and if it did not, Rachel was very accommodating. I definitely look forward to returning to the simplicity of the farm, and highly recommend it for those with a heart for the simple country life! Thank you Rachel!

We loved camping on Tom's land. The property is well kept, and looks wonderful! He is very nice and made sure my husband and I got to our site when arriving! We visited the families barn and the cows, goats and rabbit. Tom was professional yet very kind throughout our stay. We purchased fire wood from him and we had the best fires. The wood was great and burned and lasted a long time. Make sure you take time to visit the farm store! We did and purchased farm fresh eggs, ground beef and goat as well. Thank you Tom, from the bottom of our hearts for a beautiful camping experience! My husband and I will definitely be back again!

Can i give a 20 star review?! Michael was a generous, kind, and informative host. The grounds were immaculate, well curated, and perfectly secluded. We were the first to stay at site #3, which is technically a double site, with one part right on the river, the other a bit back with plenty of shade. The river was cool, refreshing, and perfect for families, with there being shallow areas but also deep for those who want to swim. A fire pit available on each site, with PLENTY of wood for a small fee. As well as large tables and even chairs, if you need them! You're surrounded by nothing but nature/wildlife, which provided a wonderful soundtrack, day or night. At night it is pitch black, so star gazing is excellent. (Definitely bring flashlights or head lamps.) Anything you can think of, Michael has also, and is ready to help you find it. We will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you, Michael!!
