Bells Acres is a large property with abundant history! Originally homesteaded by a Finnish family in the 1800s, we are only the 4th family to own this property. Doc Bell operated his veterinarian practice from this farm starting in 1915, giving his name to the creek running through the property and the lake it feeds. A family from Finland purchased the property from the Bell family in the 1960s and lived on the homestead until 2020 when we purchased it. We hope to continue the tradition of generational homesteading, while sharing this piece of God’s country with you! Our property features a vast variety of terrain on over 40 acres for our campers to explore on and off trail. Wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy the chance to see deer, bear, moose, beavers, coyotes, waterfowl, upland birds, and more! You name it, it is here! Our dark skies allow for amazing views of the stars and northern lights! There is a common area near the pond that includes a pavilion with picnic tables, a fire ring, and swing benches to enjoy watching wildlife, sunrises and sunsets. Enjoy total serenity as there is minimal “noise” around us. Just nature at its best! We hope that you will make Bells Acres your base camp for your next adventure! Unplug and unwind with us away from all the hustle and bustle! Cell service is spotty here, but we will be installing internet services in summer 2026. We are excited to be your host and share what we love about Marquette County and the surrounding areas!

Campsite 1 - The Swan
A truly special spot!! Relaxing and peaceful. Nature on full display with fall colors in the hardwood trees, and a serene pond with ducks, and "jumping out of the water" trout. We walked the trails, enjoyed the sunrise and listened to snorting deer in the morning. We've been Hipcamping for a while and this is probably our favorite spot thus far. The hosts were friendly, accommodating and even their dog came to play with our dogs. I would highly recommend checking out this gem of a campsite if you crave privacy, peace and quiet (with hook ups) in an amazing setting.

Campsite 2 - The Buck
We made last minute camping plans on one of the busiest holiday weekends and were unable to find anyplace with available spots. Happened to run across Bell's Acres Recreational Area, contacted them and lucky us, they had available sites. We arrived at the campground and were greeted by Ken, who owns the property along with his wife, Dana. Ken came in and saved the day by backing up the camper saving me an hour of taking repeated stabs trying to get it parked. Now, we were in an old popup, no water or electricity, but we parked in a site with electric, sewer and water. Silly girls, we thought yay, electricity, we can plug in an extension cord and at least make coffee and have lights at night! Yes, you guessed it, wrong plug! Not to worry, Dana and Ken saved the day by grabbing extra extension cords and getting us hooked up to power. We parked overlooking Bell's Lake and the view was beautiful. There are also sites by the river where we will definitely camp on our next visit. Dana and Ken were always coming through the campground checking on us and making sure we were having a good time or needed anything. We can't say enough good things about our experience. Thank you, Dana and Ken for a wonderful and relaxing getaway. And special thanks to the best camp host ever, Monty.
