Uncle Ben’s Camping

2 sites · Lodging10 acres · Abrams, WI

One of my favorite home away from home’s. This property will help you reground and connect with nature. I have added the necessities of life, while keeping the property as natural as possible. My goal is to share this great experience I’ve created with you and your family. From the outdoor shower to the walking trails that weave through the woods and over Tibbet Creek you will love your stay! A couple of the sites are more remote than others by design. Not all can be driven up to. The furthest would be approximately a 500’ walk. A wagon is available to carry your items to your site. There is a large pond if you would like to fish or swim, and a John boat and a paddle boat to use also. Each site has its own fire pit with a cooking grate. Firewood available for purchase on site. Most sites are set with views of a water feature. Some tents are available to rent if you don’t have your own.

Wildflower Wanderlust

After purchasing the 'Feest Farm' 18 years ago I dedicated time to create an oasis of gardens and meadows that has become my personal sanctuary. My hopes are that visitors enjoy all aspects of my property as much as I do. Learn more about this land: You can choose to set up camp in the meadow or near the gardens. In the meadow you will find paths that you can stroll through throughout the property where you can you bird watch and observe Wisconsin's natural prairie and vegetation. The open field area provides more room whether it's to throw a frisbee, bask in the sun or play some competitive yard games with your family and friends. Regardless of where you set up camp, you can enjoy your morning coffee in the secret flower garden or a nightcap next to the fire under the grape covered arbor while watching the night stars. Feeling adventurous? The Ahnapee trail is an old railroad trail that is now a hiking and biking path that extends from Sturgeon Bay to Kewaunee. The Ahnapee Trail is 1.5 miles down the road.

The best camping near Peninsula State Park guide

Overview

About

Hike to Eagle Bluff to see the historic lighthouse that oversees this part of Green Bay. Bring your binoculars and camera for the most beautiful view in this entire Wisconsin state park. The lighthouse, built in 1868, is pretty cool, too.

Launch your boat and head to Horseshoe Island out in the bay. There, you'll see foundations of buildings from the 1890s. A hiking trail takes you all around the island. The only way to get here is by private boat.

Bike through 5.1 miles of woods thanks to Sunset Bike Trail. The trail is paved and has gravel, which makes it easy to follow. Dangle your feet in the bay after your ride to cool off. Find a secluded spot along the 8 miles of shoreline.

Practice your golf game at the 18-hole golf course. Many golfers consider this course to be the most scenic in Wisconsin. Watch out for the pesky 8th hole. It's just 69 yards, but you have to fire a shot over a bluff and onto the green.

Five campgrounds contain 468 sites. Reserve yours early!
