Our cabin is equipped with one full sized bed, warm bedding, gas heater, table, 2-burner hotplate, pots, pans, cups, plates, bowls and utensils.

Guests have access to a hand-built outhouse located approximately 200ft from their lodging. WATER 💦 No running water but plenty of cool, clean (& delicious) water provided. THE ROAD 🚗 The road in is a 1.7 mile maintained seasonal dirt road. We do recommend four wheel or all-wheel drive in the winter. It can be icy, bumpy, slushy, snowy and unpredictable! We will always communicate if and when the conditions are unfavorable ** EXPECT 🦟❄️ If travelling in the winter, expect snow. If travelling in the summer, expect bugs. These are the likely obstacles of our environment, and a fair trade off for living in such a unique and beautiful place.

Oaky Camp

Great spot close enough to town but felt remote. Getting in was fun and the outhouse was excellent. Thanks Ryan for a great couple days.

Oaky Camp

Loved this quiet, backwoods camp. Such a great way to engage with nature and get away from the crowds on a holiday weekend. Also appreciate the firewood for sale (cash or venmo) on site!

Oaky Camp

Pottery in the woods!

Ryan was a fantastic camp host, his property is remote and quiet, and his camp sites are thoughtfully laid out. Would definitely recommend.
