Escape to your own private slice of Lake Superior's wild shoreline. Nestled on a wooded acre with a sun-dappled clearing perfect for camping, this secluded retreat offers something truly rare: a private beach on the shores of one of the world's great lakes, just steps from your site. Follow the boardwalk over the wetlands to your own stretch of Superior's shore — where you can hunt for agates and glowing Yooperlites, paddle out in the two provided kayaks, swim, or simply sit and watch the waves roll in. No crowds. No noise. Just you and the lake. Back at camp, gather around the fire pit as the stars come out, share a meal at the picnic table, or set out on the water in one of the provided kayaks to explore the coastline at your own pace. The newly widened, graveled driveway makes arrival easy, so you can spend less time maneuvering and more time unwinding. When adventure calls, the legendary Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park and the breathtaking Lake of the Clouds are just a few miles down the road — offering world-class hiking, mountain biking, and some of the most stunning scenery the Upper Peninsula has to offer. This is the UP at its finest — rugged, beautiful. Please be aware that on this stretch of the beach, there are many cabins and summer homes, so there will be neighbors on either side of the camping site.

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.
