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!
