8 acres hosted by David And Jess A.

My wife and I purchased this property to enjoy with our camper van, while we plan our dream cabin over the next decade. For now, we will be camping on it with our family, friends and newcomers. Learn more about this land: This ultra-private spot for your next adventure provides the fresh aroma under the “canopy” of our tall, and spectacular cedar grove that lines the west shore of the Ahnapee River, specifically Forestville Millpond. With 250’ of waterfront access all to yourself, and no-one else in sight, combined with 7.7 acres to roam, you’ll find plenty of space to release any stress in your lives. When you book a date for your stay, you can be assured that your group of guests are the only occupants on the land at that time. Limit of 12 persons. We have created a cool campsite area atop a small bluff in the mature cedars, with 4 well-placed spots for family sized tents. There is a fire pit in the center for everyone in your group to enjoy. Below this area, is our Wigwam near the shoreline. It’s been a big hit with the kids! No fires are allowed inside there, ok? Forest fires aren’t cool 😎 There is a fire pit near the clearing on the shore as well, and another one on high ground on grass, with a picture perfect view of the water, and joined to our parking area. This area makes for another great zone to set up camp if you wish. We ask that you bring in your own firewood, since our kids worked hard on making ours. However, feel free to use any fallen branches or small sticks on the forest floor for kindling or to keep your fire burning if you run out of your own logs. There is an abundance of wildlife to coexist with here. We frequently see deer, turkeys, quail, foxes, raccoons, beavers, geese, cranes, eagles, and all kinds of fish from the spring-fed Ahnapee River. Our property is located above the Forestville Dam, so from our view it looks more like a lake than a river! Bring your kayaks, it’s a beautiful experience and you can launch right at our shore with ease. Forestville has a county park at the Millpond Dam located 1 mile away, with a beach, playground and boat launch. There is a convenience store, and several pub and grills in the town as well. Algoma is a short 9 minute drive away if you want to hit up the popular Ahnapee Brewery Taproom, or grab a nice dinner at one of their many restaurants. Historic Sturgeon Bay, a small yet happening city, is only 15 minutes away. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and serenity, and please pack in, pack out. Welcome to Door County, WI! Best Regards, David and Jess

Canopee on the Ahnapee

Great outdoors camping!

Great little remote spot!! Super fun time. We went when it was POURING rain but it was still a great time with no complaints. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Door County and want a little get away!

Canopee on the Ahnapee

Great secluded property on the river. It’s wonderfully quiet, except for all the birds chirping. Woke up to deer grazing and took an evening paddle on the river. I highly recommend staying here. About 20 minutes from Sturgeon Bay and easy access to go north and explore Door county.

Canopee on the Ahnapee

The campsite was great. There was plenty of room for our group of 11. It was quiet. Most of the land is sloped but there are a few flat spots that work great for a tent. It was great to have the river running right by the camp. We brought some kayaks and had some fun. I have already recommended it to some friends within 2 days. Great spot.

Canopee on the Ahnapee

Canopee on the Ahnapee yes please!!

A private, picturesque gem. This site is a MUST rebook for us! The wooded section of this camp site was perfect to escape the morning sun and cozy in the evenings. This location had two fire pits that allow for great flexibility. If both are lit they cast lots of warm campfire light at night. As for the night sky, stars for days. We felt safe and secure at Canopee on the Ahnapee. Our one regret was not getting an opportunity to use the provided kayaks! Next time for sure. It is perfectly positioned to get us to so many attractions in Door County quickly. We could not have asked for more. David and Jess were responsive and helpful. Hats off!!

My wife and the two dogs loved the property. It was quiet and peaceful. No complaints would stay there again. Plus Algoma is near by with food and beverages.
