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.

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.

Welcome to Happy Creek Hollow, previously called Camp Blue Rock, your cozy hideaway in the north woods! We’re thrilled to share our little slice of heaven—30 private acres perfect for makin’ unforgettable memories. There’s now a small cabin on the property (not available for rent), but the campsite remains open for camping with your travel trailer or tent. We’ve spruced up the site to make your campin’ experience even comfier. Got questions before ya book? Just holler—I’d love to chat!
Your campsite is a one-of-a-kind retreat, surrounded by wild, untouched woods with no neighbors in sight. Close to the road but tucked away private-like, you’ll have the whole 30 acres to yourself. There’s plenty of room for tents or a camper. There is a small pond in the campsite area (great frog catching says my 7-year-old). Spend your days trompin’ through the trees, sittin’ ‘round the campfire, or explorin’ the Penokee Mountain range’s rugged beauty.
For the adventurous, a private trail leads to Happy Creek Flowage, a 10-acre lake ‘bout a half-mile hike away (30 minutes round-trip on foot). It’s a bit of a trek—expect hilly, mountainous terrain—but a paddle boat awaits for a peaceful float. We are working on getting a dock back there but until then expect to wear high boots or to get wet walking to the paddle boat. There is no public access, so it’s all yours! ATVs or wheelers can also zip along the trail for faster fun.
The area’s brimming with summer adventures—fishin’, hikin’, foragin’, golfin’, or ATV ridin’ on nearby trails. Copper Falls State Park, just 6.5 miles north, offers stunnin’ views, while Drop Tine restaurant in Cayuga (3.5 miles south) serves up a mean fish fry and burgers.

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.

Escape to the wilderness! This private three-acre wooded site is perfect for anyone seeking a secluded camping experience. With 300 feet of frontage on the East Fork of the Chippewa River, easy access to countless lakes and rivers, and thousands of acres of the Chequamegon National Forest at your doorstep, this property won’t disappoint any outdoor enthusiast.
Note: When you rent our property you get the whole thing. We are not a campground. This is a private 3-acre parcel on the Chippewa River. You will not be sharing the site or facilities with anyone else.
There’s plenty of space to set up your camper or tent on the gravel pad, or you can meander down the cleared path to the river’s edge, where you’ll find your own private park complete with a fire ring, picnic table, two tent platforms (10'x12' each) and breathtaking views of the flowing river. Note: the river camping area is approximately 150 yards down a walking path.
The flat and level gravel RV/parking pad offers both 30- and 50-amp service and accommodates campers up to approximately 20 feet in length, with pull-in access (not a pull-through site). Water is available from our new well on the property. The gravel pad is about 60 feet in diameter. A full-size truck (F150) with a 20' trailer should be able to pull in and fully turn around into position on the pad.
There are multiple fishing and recreation lakes within a 30 minute drive, hundreds of miles of nearby ATV/UTV trails to explore, and many mountain bike trailheads are only about 30 miles from this location as well.

This was a wonderful place to camp for the long weekend! We loved being so close to the river and feeling like we had the whole place to ourselves.
Directions for getting there were very clear and we found the parking area right away and our campsite shortly after.
Mosquitos were pretty bad, but it was that time of year so we were expecting them and prepared.
Overall, it is a wonderful place to stay and I would definitely come back another time!

The view at this site was gorgeous! The hike to the site was an adventure for someone not as experienced with hiking, but I still managed fine. The site was very peaceful but a little buggy, not too surprising though as it’s nature haha. It was a very nice and clean campsite. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short, but hope we can return one day. We appreciate being provided with so much information prior to arrival. Thank you for maintaining such a lovely site.

We thought Colton's property was a perfect spot! We enjoyed the quietness with the sounds of the wildlife. This is a perfect camping spot when you are not wanting any of the campground neighbors and chaos!♡
There is a firewood stand at the end of Haugen Road, which was super handy! We spent the day fishing Mineral Lake and English Lake. Mineral Lake there was not much for fish. The fish we caught on Enlish Lake werent too big. But enjoyed the peacefulness of the lakes!
Couple suggestions we had thought of for the property:
1. Have camping area mowed down. Leave a mower/weed whip, or suggest bringing one in the site posting.
2. We loved the Haugen Road Camp sign that let us know that was the property! We thought a sign on the tree with an arrow going up the hill saying "camp this way" or something along those lines would have been super helpful! We arrived late at night and was hard to find where the camp site actually was!
3. There was previous postings about the leg on the picnic table being broken. Its still broken and that corner of the table is not useful. Replace the table or reinforce the leg so that someone can sit there.
I was very pleased with this campsite and believe many others will enjoy their time here 🏕 🔥🎣🦉🌲
