Mellen, WI · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
On the upper Bad River, I have a special location that I'd like to share for others to enjoy.
I was fortunate to acquire this land 20 years ago and now that I have retired from the United States Air Force, I can dedicate time to create peaceful campsites along the river.
This land was originally railroad property as the railroad companies bought much land in the late 1800's to have options to place their railroads.
There is still a railroad track nearby but it has been unused since 2015 and it makes a nice hiking path along the river for many miles to the north into the national forest.
There are 3 waterfalls nearby and I will have many signs leading to the waterfalls.
There are 4 total campsites on the property, 1 site you can drive to (Eagle Pines), and 3 tent sites that require 1/8 mile hike to 2 sites, and a 1/4 mile hike to the other hike-in site.
There is no leash required for good pups. If your pup is aggressive with other dogs or people please leash them when on the hiking trails. If your pups would stay in your campsite no leash is required. Other campers may be hiking past your campsite on the trails that is still over 100 feet away from others campsites. You may run into others on the trails where others dogs may not be leashed. If your dog is aggressive to other dogs even if yours is on leash if you can’t control them please muzzle them.

Ironwood, MI · 4 sites · Tents, Lodging
Lost Lake Off-Grid Retreat — Ironwood, Michigan Upper Peninsula
Three acres of deep northwoods silence across the
road of Spirit Lake, eight miles from the largest freshwater lake on Earth. No cell service. No light pollution. Just towering hardwoods, loon calls at dusk, and some of the best Northern Lights viewing in the Lower 48.
The RV (sleeps 4–6)
34-foot Class A motorhome tucked into the trees. Queen bedroom, fold-out couch, working stovetop, and generator. Outhouse steps away. You’re not here for granite countertops—you’re here because the sauna is hot, the lake is cold, and nobody knows where you are.
The Mini Camper (sleeps 2)
Hardtop converted pop-up—low-profile, cozy, built for sleeping. Full mattress, portable power station included. Crawl in, zip up, listen to the woods. One step above a tent with none of the setup. Blankets and pillows included.
Remote Tent Sites
Primitive, dispersed sites spread through the timber. Fire rings and outhouse access. Bring your gear and disappear.
On the Property
Wood-fired Finnish sauna—the kind of heat that resets your entire nervous system. Spirit Lake directly across the road for a cold plunge or a quiet paddle. Two kayaks available to rent. Four-wheeler for exploring miles of old logging roads and backcountry. Firewood. Solar power. Generator. Stars you forgot existed.
What You’re Close To
The UP’s heaviest concentration of waterfalls is right here. Five Black River falls—including Rainbow Falls and its 200-foot suspension bridge—within a half hour. Lake of the Clouds and the 60,000-acre Porcupine Mountains Wilderness, 30 minutes away. Copper Peak’s 18-story sky ride with views into three states and Canada. Little Girls Point on Lake Superior—agate hunting, bonfires, sunsets that’ll rearrange your priorities. Interstate Falls, Gabbro Falls, and Peterson Falls nearby. North Country Trail access. Downtown Ironwood and Hurley for supplies and a Friday fish fry, 10 minutes out.
The Vibe
Off-grid means off-grid. You use the outhouse. You haul your water. You hear things in the woods you can’t identify. This isn’t a resort with a rustic theme—it’s three acres of actual wilderness with a sauna, a lake across the road, and the kind of quiet most people have never experienced.

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.

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!

We had an amazing time camping on Dean’s land this weekend. It was great to hang around the fire, hike down the railroad tracks, and check out the waterfalls nearby! We enjoyed ID-ing the bird species around the area (we heard tons of grouse & saw lots of mergansers and kingfishers flying up and down the river!). Our pup loved taking dips in the river as often as he could and exploring the land un-leashed! Many other campsites were crowded this weekend and noisy with neighbors, so it was especially nice to be in a peaceful and quiet location in the woods on Dean’s land! I would highly recommend this campsite if you are looking for a relaxing and gorgeous area in the woods/on the river! Thanks again, Dean :)

Booked here last minute as it was getting dark and we didn’t want to set up camp in the dark anymore north. Kevin was extremely responsive and a thoughtful host. Directions were easy to follow, site was well cleared. We chose the site closest to the car/road simply for quickness to set up camp, but could hear cars throughout the night. Not disruptive at all though, as you hear plenty of nature with coyotes, frogs, and birds too! Would recommend and will definitely stay here again.

I was the first camper of the season! I chose the drive-in site because I knew it would be cold (26° on my first night) and I could run power to a heated blanket with my trucks onboard power source.
The owner was tooling around getting the property ready for the season. He was very nice and brought me some cherry wood to cook with!
This site was very large and not too deep into the woods but it felt secluded.
There is a canoe on the bank to take up and down the river. There are rapids and waterfalls down river from this site.
There are also some pretty rustic hiking trails that lead to the falls.
There is a great little bar called the Drop Tine bar at the entrance to the property.
I found a great farmer in Mellen that cuts meat fresh on the farm for you.
We will definitely be back!!

Wow! What a magical place. I had an amazing time camping at Eagle Pines On The Bad River and spending a gorgeous exploring Deans land. He’s clearly put much time and care into building and maintaining the trails. The map, signs and ribbons were very helpful for navigating the area. It was an absolute delight and adventure hiking the trails and wandering around the three waterfalls.
Dean was also an excellent host. He was incredibly accommodating, responded quickly to my messages and provided very detailed instructions and recommendations upon booking.
I highly recommend these sites to anyone wanting a peaceful, somewhat rustic and secluded spot to stargaze, canoe/kayak, hike and commune with the land and water. I hope to visit again soon.

We had an incredible time at Sailor Springs! The crows nest was clean, came well equipped and was so cozy! The trails and trees were so beautiful and you could tell it was well taken care of. Thanks for the stay, Abe!

The most beautiful and intentional property. Close to town yet you feel so secluded while feeling the breeze from the lake. We will definetly be back, thank you Abe!!!

We were super impressed with the Balsam Shores campsite! It was lovely to be so close to the water, and it was so cool to have the option to canoe. Overall, everything was well-labeled and easy to find.

Loved our time at this spot! Beautiful camp with amazing giant pine trees and a great setting on the river. Definitely plan to return! The river was low at this time of the year, but still managed to get out on the canoe provided and that was a great surprise to have available. We even saw a pair of swans!

I had the best time staying here with my dog. The area is far enough away from things that it can be deafeningly quiet at night. Had all the supplies I needed just like advertised. All yurts were reserved and I only saw the neighboring folks as they walked to their car. Never heard anyone! Truly a peaceful little spot and you can tell the yurts were made very well. 10/10 coming back and going to have friends rent the other yurts for a fun weekend. I had just enough cell service to make a call in the parking area, and enough to send and receive texts at the yurt.
