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. This property is for sale if you may be interested. Please ask and I’ll send you the details.

Located just down from Bayview Beach, our property sits nestled between Lake Superior and the Onion River, which runs through the property just behind the cabin. You will have a private beach on Lake Superior all to yourself. While neighbors may be around from time to time, especially on weekends, you will not have to share anything but the sound of waves hitting the shore and birds chirping as the sun sets in the west. You can set up a tent by the cabin or on the beach side in the grass or sand areas—or even on the beach itself if you'd like to catch a sunrise. There is also room for an RV, teardrop trailer, or camper van, if that's what you'd like to bring. A fire ring and firewood are provided, along with some chairs. Kayaks are available after booking for a fee, but you are responsible for safe operation and for understanding when weather conditions are not suitable for their use. At this time, the cabin is not included or open for use, nor is there power available for outside hookups. There is no running water (besides the river and Lake Superior), and no toilets on site. However, you will pass public toilets on your way in—they are roughly 90 seconds away by car. Otherwise, you are responsible for bringing a camp toilet. Pets are welcome but must be leashed when others are around and well-behaved. Please dispose of waste properly and respect the natural surroundings. We've had this property since my siblings and I were kids, so please be respectful of the property and neighbors and treat others as you would like to be treated in return. You should not be bothered by anyone. Please practice pack-in/pack-out and clean up after yourselves. Beyond that, nearby attractions include the city of Bayfield and the Apostle Islands, a short 15-minute drive away. Bayfield, Wisconsin, is a breathtaking destination that serves as the gateway to the Apostle Islands. Whether you are seeking adventure on the water, a peaceful retreat in nature, or a taste of local charm, this lakeside gem has something for everyone. Here is an overview of the area and some top attractions to add to your itinerary: Must-Visit Attractions & Activities: • Apostle Islands National Lakeshore: You cannot miss this stunning archipelago. Explore the 21 islands and mainland sea caves by kayak, water taxi, or scenic cruise. It is arguably the most iconic experience in the region. • Madeline Island: Just a short scenic ferry ride from Bayfield, this is the largest of the Apostle Islands. Visit Big Bay State Park for hiking trails and sandy beaches, or explore the shops and eateries in the village of La Pointe. • Orchards & Berry Farms: Bayfield is often called the "Berry Capital of Wisconsin." Depending on the season, you can spend an afternoon picking strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or apples at one of the many family-owned farms overlooking Lake Superior. • Hiking & Waterfalls: The region is a hiker’s paradise. Check out the Meyers Beach Sea Caves Trail for cliffside views, or explore hidden gems like Lost Creek Falls near Cornucopia. • Big Top Chautauqua: For a unique cultural experience, catch a concert or performance under the "Big Blue Tent." It’s a venue that blends live music with the natural beauty of the Northwoods. • Mt. Ashwabay Ski & Recreation Area: In winter, enjoy downhill skiing, snowboarding, and fat biking on groomed trails. In warmer months, it offers scenic hiking and views. • Local Flavors & Artisans: After a day of exploring, head into downtown Bayfield for fresh-caught whitefish, locally crafted cider or spirits, and charming independent bookstores and art galleries. Thank you, and we look forward to hosting you!

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

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.

River's Edge is a four season adventure company in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, outfitting adventurers with equipment and guidance. The property is located on the Manitowish River, Heart of Vilas County bike trail, and Iron County snowmobile trails. By car we're about eight minutes from WinMan Trails, ten minutes from MECCA Trails and Mercer, three minutes from Manitowish Waters. As we're right on the bike path, riding to lunch or dinner is easy, with lots of yummy options close by. We have two campsites on our property, primarily for adventurers looking for a central basecamp location from which to go do all the fun things we have available in the Northwoods. Campsites are located on the west end of the property, in proximity to all the activities, and include full hookups, a picnic table and fire ring. Site One is closest to the river and bike path. It's more secluded and separate from the main lodge area. Of the two sites, this is the best if you plan to hang around camp and chill. It does have trees lining the parking space, so if you have a trailer above 11'-13' be careful backing in. Site Two is right off of the main parking area next to the lodge building. While we're working on natural barrier growth, it is kind of in the middle of activity during our busy seasons. It is, however, the easiest to back into with a large trailer. If you're looking for a convenient place to bring your RV or trailer and don't mind being less secluded, this is for you. If you're looking for a national forest experience, this is not for you. The main lodge is open for use until 10pm-ish. There are couches, tables and board games available for guests. A bathroom is available for campers in the lodge, however there is no shower. We highly recommend The Manitowish Waters Athletic Club for shower facilities, hot tub, and pool. Day passes are reasonably priced and the facility is extremely well appointed. It's about three minutes by car or ten by bike. Campers get a discount on rental equipment. Wifi is available in the lodge. Our sites are open year-round, although water service will be turned off when temps are below freezing.

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!

Welcome to Happy Creek Hollow, your cozy private hideaway in the Northwoods! We’re excited to share our 30-acre slice of paradise—perfect for creating unforgettable memories with family and friends. A small bunk cabin now sits on the property, but the site remains fully open for tent camping or travel trailers. Tucked away yet easy to access, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers total seclusion with no neighbors in sight. You’ll have the entire 30 acres to yourself, surrounded by wild, untouched woods. There’s plenty of room to spread out with tents or park your camper/travel trailer. Spend your days relaxing around the campfire, exploring the beautiful Penokee Mountain area, and soaking in the peace of the Northwoods. Adventure on the property: A private trail leads about a half-mile (roughly 30-minute round-trip hike) to Happy Creek Flowage, a peaceful 10-acre lake. The trail is hilly and rugged—true Northwoods terrain—but well worth it. A paddle boat is waiting for calm floats on the water. ATVs and side-by-sides can also use the trail for quicker access. We’re working on installing a dock, but until then, plan to wear high boots or get your feet wet reaching the boat. The lake has no public access, so it’s all yours! Local DNR folks say there may be trout in the lake—we’re looking forward to confirming that this summer. Nearby attractions: Little Town Coffee Truck - 4 mi: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC COFFEE, located at the Mellen Police Department Parking Lot. Copper Falls State Park - 6.5 mi: stunning waterfalls. Drop Tine Restaurant in Cayuga - 3.5 mi: serves up an excellent fish fry and burgers. Meder Lake - 1.2 mi Long Lake - 2.6 mi Lake Galilee - 4.3 mi English Lake - 10 mi Many other lakes within a 20 minute drive. Ironwood, Michigan - 40 min drive. Please note: Cell service is spotty (especially for AT&T), so plan accordingly. The bunk cabin will be unoccupied during your stay, giving you full privacy on the property. If you’d like to rent the bunk cabin in addition to the campsite, just reach out—I’d be happy to arrange it. Please note that the cabin has no electricity or running water and features an unfinished interior.

We own a 39 acre property on the east side of Ashland, WI. There are three primitive/walk in (no water available, no facilities, no tables) campsites available and about 1.5 miles of trails. Enjoy the night sky as many, many stars are visible. The property is mostly wooded and can be wet in spots during the spring. You are allowed walk the site off trail at your own risk. Please park your vehicle as close to one side of the driveway as possible as not to block the driveway so if needed the tower company has access to the tower. You will need to park between the road and the gate. You are not able to drive past the gate. Car camping is available between the road and the gate. Please do not walk in the cleared area near the front of the property to the right of driveway/access road, as this area has been planted with Christmas tree saplings. There is a dedicated campfire square in the site. Please do not burn outside of this area. There is plenty of dead and down firewood to collect in the nearby woods – some may need to cut to size. There are no garbage cans on site, so please pack out what you pack in. Hike to the sites: Campsite 1 – Near County Highway A – just past gate. Large enough for two 4 person tents Campsite 2 – From gate - .10 mile hike – large enough for a 4 person tent Campsite 3 – From gate - .13 mile hike – large enough for a 3 person tent What is nearby?

Private camping areas near the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Great Divide District We cleared part of our private forest area in 2026 and added designated camping sites. The grounds are still a bit rough as the vegetation has not fully grown back yet, but the parking areas are solid. We also have horse pens available if you are traveling with horses and need a place to rest overnight. We are currently a primitive campground. There are no hookups, no electricity, no water, and no toilets available. You will need to be fully self-contained during your stay. Cell service is limited (we use AT&T, so other providers may work better), but it is not completely unavailable. Cell boosters should work well here. The gravel road leading to our property is in good condition in most areas; however, it is still a gravel road and, in some sections, a forest road with some bumpy areas. The surrounding roads are also used as ATV and snowmobile trails. We do not allow ATVs, UTVs, or snowmobiles on our private trails. For those activities, you will need to access the trails within the National Forest. We are located near the Dead Horse Run Trail. Some of our private trails are open for campers to hike and explore. Two of our camper sites are 60 feet long, and one is 45 feet long. These three sites are back-in only. We also have one pull-off site that is 35 feet long. Tent campers are welcome to use any of the available spaces as well. Due to our driveway layout and the curve required to access the campground, we do not accept Class A motorhomes or large rigs. Our roads and parking areas are a sand-and-rock mix and are not as hardened as they will be after the next winter season. However, we believe they work well for smaller rigs. Our camper is shown in some of the photos (not parked in a designated site), and we had no issues getting it in place. When deciding if a site will fit your setup, please consider the total length of your entire rig, including both your camper and tow vehicle. You cannot park on the circle driveway. Thank you!

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.

Absolutely gorgeous campsite! Cayuga Falls was an incredible place to stay. Waking up to the river every morning with the steam rolling off the water, then sitting on the rocks with my coffee, made for the perfect start to each day. 🌲☕️ The campsite itself was so thoughtfully set up. He provides so many useful things, including a bear box, shovel, rake, saw, and fire pokers for roasting s’mores. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making the campsite comfortable and functional. I also really loved the layout of the site it felt incredibly private and tucked away in the woods. The only downside is the walk in. When he says it’s a hike, believe him—it’s a hike! 😂 You’ll definitely be traversing rocks, stumps, and tree roots, and it’s more of a scramble to get to the site than a casual walk. Pack light! That said, the trek in absolutely did not deter us, and we would happily do it again. The area was gorgeous, the campsite was incredibly well thought out, and being so close to Copper Falls State Park was a huge bonus. We absolutely plan to come back in the future!

A great spot! Super close to copper falls! The campsite will be just before the left turn on the gravel road. Campsite will be on the drivers side! When you pull in into the campsite from the gravel road the campsite is up the little hill on your right hand side.

Weekend Trip to Butternut Lake Camping

Very nice spot on the lake. Huge firepit! We were not there long enough to use it because we were just there for one night, but it would have been great. Great communication and owners response was fast!

Weekend Trip to Presque Isle Campground

Great place! Even has a gated entrance for security. Quiet and quaint and had everything we needed and wanted. We were tenting and thankful many of the sites included a car canopy which came in handy when it rained. Hosts were friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend!!

I absolutely love Elizabeth's property! I love the fact that you have it all to yourself, no having to put up with noisy 'neighbors.'

5 nights at Bad River Wilderness

This RV site was beautiful and peaceful. For the entire 5 nights, we saw only two other campers on the river. It was private and had plenty of room for our teardrop and large tent. The canoe was a nice addition for paddling on the river. It was nice to have the firewood readily accessible too.

This place was amazing, so secluded and private! Well maintained camping area with ample amounts of firewood right on site. The canoe that was available was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Bad River Wilderness

We had such a great stay and experience on Dean’s property. It was clean and quiet. Definitely try to pack light as the hike is harder with a lot of stuff! There was also a small stand that sold firewood right before you get into the property (by the bar), which was helpful! We will most definitely recommend this spot and be back in the future !

Gourgous space in the woods with a creek to lull you to sleep by. It was the perfect get away for me.

1 night at Lake Superior Beauty

Great spot, as advertised. It's close to the road, but not a problem. It's convenient and very little traffic at night. The path to the beach was no problem, but might not be easy for everyone. I'll be back!

4 nights at Stargazers U.P. Campground

Small quiet campground. Decent spacing, fairly level gravel sites, few trees, great location to hiking trails and Lake Superior. About 15 minute drive to Ironwood. No laundry. Showers are functional, nothing great.

Beautiful spot. Returning soon!

Copper Falls Campground

Copper Falls State Park is gorgeous and so are the campsites. I ended snagging a hike in site at the park, and ended up with my own little private forest. It was very wooded, but still breezy enough that bugs were not a nuisance. The facilitates are really well maintained with (nice) pit toilets centrally located near most campsites, and flush toilets/shower house a short walk away. It was well worth the trip, and I have plans on returning soon.
