Camping near Black Beach

1 night at Off-Grid Secluded Forest Yurts

Magical experience sleeping here and being close to such a beautiful place! Staying in the yurt was just what we needed for a get away. Loved the rustic touches, really helped us feel connected to nature and relaxed. There are also lots of delicious restaurants close by that we enjoyed trying. Would highly recommend this stay. The views of Lake Superior were spectacular! Loved the experience of a yurt, so cute and very comfortable accommodations.

1 night at Off-Grid Secluded Forest Yurts

This little off-grid yurt was the perfect upgrade from tent camping for my husband and I. The proximity to Lake Superior was the main draw; seeing the sea caves in the summer was a first for us. The yurt was clean and tidy, and I enjoyed the provided tea selection. Excited to visit again later in the season to do more hiking and exploring.

Wonderful scenery beyond my imagination. I loved that there is a nearby beach with showers. Hosts are very nice.

1 night at North Shore Hermitage

What a fantastic getaway. This dry cabin is so cozy and has everything you could want from extra drinking water to dcds stocked for your enjoyment. There's lots of windows, surrounded by woods, absolutely peaceful scene. I spent hours by the campfire in the morning just enjoying the woods and the bird calls. The trails around the property are wide and well cared for. Molly is a fantastic host who respects your privacy but is available for whatever you need. Highly recommend!

3 nights at Eagle's Perch

Great spot to stay! Schuyler was very responsive to questions. It was a beautiful view at sunset. Highly recommend

1 night at Silver Rapids Lodge

We really enjoyed our stay! Each site had its own water & electric hookup and fire pit. Beautiful lake views and easy access. Very clean and well maintained. Would absolutely stay here again.

3 nights at Sunset Bay Getaway

If you’re looking for a loud cramped campground with trailers and tents on top of each other and you can hear the neighbors talking then you won’t enjoy this site. But if you want a true slice of paradise in God’s country with privacy and solitude then this is the place. Not having WiFi, TV, or phone service for a couple of days was truly remarkable relaxing experience. We played games, talked, watched the Bald Eagles and listened to the loons. Sheila our camp host was very accommodating and made us feel welcome and at home. We hope that we have the opportunity to revisit “Sunset Bay”

Weekend Trip to Sailor Springs Glamping

We absolutely loved this site. The outdoor shower was a highlight—peaceful, refreshing, and a perfect way to enjoy the natural setting. The campfire being right next to the tent made evenings feel extra special. The tent itself was spacious and thoughtfully set up, with a super comfy bed that made for great sleep. The structure around the tent—including the decking underneath and the metal roof—really added to our sense of safety and comfort, especially when a gnarly storm rolled through. Everything held up beautifully, and we felt secure and dry the whole time. Abe was awesome to work with! We had one site booked for a night and another for two nights, and he made the transition between them incredibly easy. He also checked in on us after a storm passed through and stayed responsive via the app whenever we had questions. You can tell he really cares about making sure campers have a good experience. Would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy some true quiet time in nature!

4 nights at Twisting Twig Gardens and Orchard

We had fun staying at the yurt! It was fabulous to have a full kitchen setup complete with fridge, a light, a fan, and an outlet. Outhouse was nice too. Bugs were heavy and the path to the BR could use a solar light or 2. Overall, highly recommend this to those who need more than a tent but less than a cabin.

1 night at Sailor Springs Glamping

Exactly what we were looking for—very remote, peaceful, and private. The hike to the site was clearly communicated in advance, so we were prepared, but it was moderately challenging, especially with gear. The hill down to the fire pit was a little tricky when the dirt was wet, but the beautiful, secluded setting made it well worth the effort. The cabin was spotless, super cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Abe was awesome to work with! We had one site booked for a night and another for two nights, and he made the transition between them incredibly easy. He also checked in on us after a storm passed through and stayed responsive via the app whenever we had questions. You can tell he really cares about making sure campers have a good experience.

Weekend Trip to Wooded camping in Babbitt MN

Another great trip. Thanks for sharing your land with us for a last minute camping trip.

Weekend Trip to Nóatún Community Wooden Boat Works

We stayed two nights over the weekend. John welcomed us & showed us around. He is a great resource & has a wealth of knowledge regarding folk & indigenous traditions as well as the surrounding area. The space is great for straightforward tent camping. The tent site is on the lakeside of the property, quiet & protected from the wind. We were able to park in the driveway & use a wagon to cart our gear to the back. The beach & river are both in quick walking distance, which was amazing! Come prepared to be self-sufficient including drinking water. We utilized the portapotties at the beach access parking lot next door as well as the restroom at the marina, which also has a shower that we didn’t use. Both bathroom options are walkable & convenient. The resident goats are a hoot & so friendly. They even did well with our dogs over time. We would certainly camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Chanterelle Woods Preserve

We absolutely loved Christal’s campsite. The site was beautiful and the tent was perfect, already set up with cots and a carpet on the floor. More importantly, Christal was such an incredibly kind and gracious host. We ended up not showing up to the site until 1:30 in the morning and not only was she extremely understanding and accommodating, she waited up for us so that she could show us to our tent and couldn’t have been nicer upon our arrival. Finally, the site is in an amazing location, only a 5 minute drive from Bayfield’s main commercial street. I would absolutely recommend this site to anyone looking to camp near Bayfield!

2 nights at Chanterelle Woods Preserve

Christal was so sweet and the spot was perfect. Beautiful, quiet and close to Bayfield!

Off-Grid Secluded Forest Yurts

Hi there! We have 5 yurts spread across our 40 acres with each yurt having lots of individual space and privacy. We hand built our yurts from scratch using wood from our land and local lumber, as well as sewing all the vinyl ourselves. The yurts are almost completely locally sourced, everything was handmade by us, and sustainably sourced. We are really excited to share the land we love with folks from near and far. Your yurt is equipped with a full sized futon, two burner stove kitchen with all cooking appliances and utensils, 2 gallons of fresh drinking water (as well as oil, salt, pep, coffee, and tea all provided), a small dining table with chairs, and an outdoor fire pit. A short 7 min drive from our property is beautiful Little Sand Bay beach. This free, public use National Park beach is gorgeous with views of Sand and York Islands, great swimming spots, $2.00 hot showers, and kayak launch. Important things to note about your yurt site! The access to our property is via a long dirt road, this road is accessible for all vehicles but it is about a 2min drive through the woods to get to the yurt sites. Once you arrive on the property your yurt is a 2-4min (depending on which yurt you choose) hike up a hill from the parking area. I recommend backpacking in your items. Wheely coolers and bags will not enjoy the terrain. The Portapotty is located at the parking area as well. That being said, a little bit of walking will be involved in your stay :) If you love walking you are in luck and can explore the trails on the property!

My husband Rob and I own a 40 acre property approximately 10 miles from Bayfield, Wi. We have a micro organic farm with hundreds of wild apple trees and believe in leaving the land better than we found it. Rob loves permaculture, managing soils, pruning apple trees and feeding his community nutrient dense food. I work as a hospice nurse and help out on the farm when I am able and we have 2 boys, Arlo and Owen. We keep busy! We offer 3 rustic rentals onsite, but each is very private and secluded. Consider all 3 for a larger gathering! We look forward to hosting you for a farm visit.

Chanterelle Woods Preserve

This property is adjacent to a wilderness area (Pikes Creek) and had been our organic farm for decades. It is pristine, wild and beautiful. We currently have 3 camping sites: a lodge tent for up to 4, a 2-person A-frame tent with cots, and a dry cabin. Both the lodge tent and A-frame tent share a privacy shelter with toilet and shower. They are approximately 50 feet away from each other. You would drive to both sites and park in a designated parking within a short walk from them. The dry cabin is more isolated from the other two and has its own shower and compostable toilet. All three sites are completely off grid. The Chanterelle Woods Preserve has a mix of trees, flora, fauna and wild mushrooms, hence the name "Chanterelle Woods." We ran an organic farm here for decades. When we were farming, we had "woofers" (an international organization of volunteers) who stayed in tents and a camper while here. It was a life changing experience for them....Now we would like to offer this opportunity to "rustic campers." Whether you want to stay exclusively on the land and relax or explore the surrounding area, there is a little something for everyone. We are 3 miles from the city of Bayfield, Wisconsin, which is the gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. We are close to all diverse recreational pursuits: biking, hiking, kayaking and golfing. In case you forgot any outdoor or camping gear, there is Howl Adventure Center, one mile from us, that also has a cidery and a small bar with a food/taco truck and outdoor seating. The Big Top Chautauqua on Mt. Ashwabay hosts all kinds of music, art, and cultural events all summer long. Our property is directly across from Mt. Ashwabay, separated by the Pikes Creek wilderness area offering beautiful mountain biking and fat biking trails. Closer to town, there are quaint local shops and art galleries where you can peruse beautiful pottery, fine jewelry and original paintings made by local artists. Stop by one of the many fine restaurants in town for a taste the best fish dishes freshly caught from the Lake.

Sailor Springs Glamping

9 sites · Lodging5 acres · Bayfield, WI

Experience upscale camping–Glamping in the Forested Hills of Lake Superior. Sailor Springs is a small three-site campground located just two miles outside of the picturesque tourist town of Bayfield, WI. 2023 will be our first year of operation and we’re excited to host campers on the property and provide a unique camping experience. The campground is spread out over 5 acres of forest that you’ll hike into from Bresette Hill Road. After parking at the trailhead, you’ll gather your bags and hike into your glamping site. The trail winds through the woods, leading you first to a valley where the seasonal Clark Creek runs through in the spring. The first two campsites are on the other side of this valley. The trail can be steep in spots and requires a moderate level of fitness and mobility to reach the secluded campsites. The third site is a bit farther into the forest, the little A-frame cabin, Anchor sits on the edge of the spring-fed Brickyard Creek that flows year-round. We have many plans for the property and depending on when you stay, the campground will be in various stages of development. The campsites, trailhead / parking area, and trails are scheduled to be completed in early spring. We hope to add amenities such as a camp sauna and screened-in gazebo later in the 2024 summer / fall. Thank you for considering joining us on this journey to build a peaceful place to play and stay in the woods. “In every walk in nature one receives far more than he seeks.” John Muir
