This property has 4 camp spots. Sites 1 and 4 have a boat landing. All sites have shades trees that can hold hammocks. All sites are right next to the lake. Site 3 has a dock that all can use. There is excellent swimming with a sandy bottom at the south end of the lake. The lake is stocked with perch in 2024 but has others as well. It is also close to many lakes that are good for fishing. I have a 14' fishing boat with trolling motor, a paddle boat, 2 kayaks, and canoe for campers to use for free. Firewood is available for $5/day. There is some hiking on the property and much near by. Biking is also good with small lakes nearby to visit.

Also all sites are drive through on hard ground grass. Grates are provided for cooking over the fire. There is Wi-Fi internet that reaches sites 1-3

Tent site · Sleeps 6

This property is on a small private lake surrounded by trees and grasslands. It was an old farm site until the 1970's. The old farm buildings are currently being restored into usable structures. The lake is very clean and is great for fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoe or a small boat. It is stocked with walleye by the D.N.R. The camp sites are close to the water and are on firm mowed grassland. You can camp close to the lake in designated areas or tent camp off in more private settings. There are places to safely launch a small boat or your kayaks. Fun hiking within a mile at wildlife preserves. This is a very beautiful setting with a lot of wildlife activity. Bird watching is awesome. There numerous lakes and rivers to adventure to within 20 miles. Nearest food and gas is 7 miles. Bathroom and outdoor shower provided. There is firewood on site for $5/day. Also there is Wifi that reaches sites 1-5. I have a kayak and small paddle boat and 14 ft fishing boat with trolling motor for use by campers.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Jim's campsite is a favorite among campers for its tranquil setting and generous amenities. Many have highlighted Jim's welcoming nature, along with the comforts like fresh eggs, firewood, and even a mini fridge at some sites. The spacious and private sites provide a peaceful retreat, ideal for relaxation by the lake with kayaks and canoes available. While the lake offers opportunities for fun, it's worth noting that some found the water siltier than expected, which might deter swimming enthusiasts.

Great spot, very private and quiet. It does seem at first like you are driving through someones property so just be aware of that if you follow the cords it takes you where you need to go even if it's not clearly marked.

This was a great spot to come across! It had an outlet and was nice and private. Jim was great to meet. We ended up leaving the second day bc it was a bit cold a rainy for us but Jim refunded us which was very generous of him. we’ll have to come back when it’s a warmer time of year!
