We have two properties on the beautiful South Shore of Lake Superior in Port Wing, WI. At our lakefront property, we have 700' of shoreline and access to our private sand beach, perfect for swimming and bonfires! At our forest property, we have 68 acres of private trails weaving through the woods. Over the next few years, we'll be building more sites throughout our property to offer private, secluded lodging in a natural setting. We are planning to open up our first few sites in July 2024. The South Shore offers a bounty of activities and is much less crowded than the North Shore. Nearby, there are hiking trails, waterfalls, skiing, kayaking, paddling, ATV trails, and much more. Port Wing is halfway between Duluth/Superior and Bayfield, so it's the perfect spot to stay and visit all the South Shore sights!Enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Superior from your tent, as well as easy access to the lakeshore and private beach below. Our wildflower site was was recently replanted with native grasses and wildflowers (after our shoreline restoration project) and should make a soft bed underneath your tent. 2024 UPDATE: lake levels are LOW this year, so we have a huge stretch of sandy beach this year! TENTS ONLY / NO VEHICLES This a walk-in site only. We receive numerous messages every year asking if we allow vehicle access to the campsite (for vans, truck tents, trailers, etc). Due to the native plantings for our bluff restoration (anti-erosion) project, we cannot allow vehicles to drive on the lawn. Beach Access: On both sides of the site, there are trails down to the shoreline. They can be quite steep and slippery at times, so please exercise caution when using it. There are a few boulders that we use as steps at the bottom of the trail, which can be tricky to navigate, so it may be difficult for young kids or people with limited mobility. While the campsite itself is wheelchair accessible, the beach access is not. Toilet: We will have a portable restroom available on site starting May, 2024. Fires: Bonfires can be held on the beach whenever the fire danger level is low. Our private beach is almost always sandy, so it's a great place to sit around the fire. However, Lake Superior has quite a personality, so sometimes the sand disappears and there are rocks instead! If you walk a bit further toward the creek, you might find a bigger sandy area back by the mouth of the creek. And if you're into rock hunting, you can find agates on the beach! Electrical: We have an outdoor extension cord that can be used for electricity. EV Charger: We have a ChargePoint Level 2 charger you can use to charge your vehicle! Grill: Feel free to use the grill on our deck.

Peaceful time with Lake Superior

Had a dreamy camping trip here in July! The wildflowers are gorgeous to be around. Amazing sunset views. My three dogs had a blast running down to the water to our little private beach - lots of swimming for dogs and humans alike! Camp amenities are perfect - camp fire ring, picnic table, portapottie. Perfect experience - will def stay again! Thank you so much for sharing your land - your restorative work to prevent erosion is also amazing <3

BEAUTIFUL

My hubby and I loved camping at Sarah’s land. The view is just incredible. Having coffee with that view was my favorite part of the trip. Wildflower had everything we needed - enough room for our 8 person tent, a fire pit, a portable toilet and access to the beach. And even though the land is next to the road, it felt pretty quiet and secluded.

Gorgeous tent site!

We loved staying at this site! The view is absolutely amazing, and I'll definitely book again! 10/10! There is a fire ring and picnic table and they even left a tarp covered bundle of sticks and wood for use by the beach fire ring. Just a tip, we stayed on a rainy day/night, so make sure you have rain boots for hauling your gear to and from the parking spot to the site. It's not far, but our feet got wet from the grass. We enjoyed walking around on the beach and rock hunting. Overall we highly recommend!

Wildflower Tent Site

Such a beautiful space on the shore of Lake Superior. Felt remote enough, even though it was next to the highway. The access to the beach was phenomenal and created even more of an intimate space away from the road. Sarah was amazing and attentive. Answered our every question and even provided us with a fire ring half way though our stay. Loved it so much we extended it a couple more days. Its in a great location, making the Apostle Islands and Duluth very accessible. A lot of water and natural preserves around the area. 10/10

Loved the site!! Would

This campsite was so perfect. The site is beautiful - right next to the lake and very private with a beach all to yourself. We loved the site so much we ended up staying two extra nights! Sarah even brought us an extra fire pit to use next to the picnic table which was so nice :). Would highly recommend!!! Thanks so much Sarah!!
