It's easy to see why this place is booked every weekend in the summer up here. This spot is beautiful and very well maintained. The site has a number of flat open areas for choosing where to set up a tent and the parking pad is also pretty level if you car camp like we do. The entire site is also sandy, so getting tent stakes in would be a breeze. The host, Dean, did inform us that he was away and wouldn't be able to stock the firewood, so not having firewood there when I arrived was not a huge shock. Very appreciative that he communicated that ahead of time, along with his thorough communications outside of the firewood.
Due to me and my partner getting sick the weekend we had planned on camping, only I made the trip to the site just to check it out and I did not stay overnight, but I can imagine it would have been a very restful spot as it was a quiet spot with great access to the a night sky.

This was a beautiful spot! The dogs loved playing in the river, walking the railroad tracks, and checking out the waterfalls.

The land is beautiful, my actual dream. Quick walk to the nearby bar. 8-10ish minutes to Dollar General/gas stations for ice & supplies if need-be. Took a nap out on the dock while my dog dug around the river. No cell service whatsoever, my phone went into SOS mode actually, couldn’t send or receive anything (yay, just letting yall know don’t expect to be on the grid while you’re here)
We loved it. So, so peaceful.

Loved our quick stay at the yurt. Plan on booking again in the fall. The land is just beautiful and the yurt has everything you need to feel comfortable. Very secluded as well. And clean! I was excited about all the solar and composting toliet. Highly recommend!

Campsite at hidden pines was a wonderful secluded getaway. It is quite evident that Dean gives his heart in the labor required to maintain his sites! We had light rain each day or evening we were there, but still able to paddle the river a bit and enjoy the campfire. Bring or make some mosquito repellant in case of rain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if pack in pack out is your "thing"!!!

Great spot for a summer retreat! The kitchen came in handy, as did the wood burning fire places (both inside and outside). Great for star gazing!

This was so beautiful! I loved that I had privacy. The trails to the falls is also a nice perk to have right at your site. I will be coming back!

We stayed this past weekend and it was a nice, well maintained property. We tent camped with kids and dogs and had no issues with the site. Really nice view of the river and it was really convenient to be able to buy the wood -as needed- on site. We did encounter some heavy mosquito activity but as long as you have bug repellents you’ll do well. The kids loved getting to use the canoe and fishing off the dock. The fish we caught were all on the smaller side but fun was had nonetheless! Outhouse had toilet paper and disinfectants provided and the camp host communicated well about expectations and precautions.

Dean’s land was perfect for us. We stayed at the RV site in our smaller camper van. Totally private, wooded with a stream/river flowing just below the camp. Plenty of shade for those warm summer days. Didn’t have time to use the canoe but nice that it’s available, the dock allows you to get out onto the river. Having firewood right there for sale at the camp was so convenient as was the fireplace mounted grill for cooking. And a nice picnic table available. We were very pleased and would definitely stay again when in the area.

An excellent, secluded spot in northern Wisconsin. We went up to Wisconsin from Illinois hoping for cooler weather and beautiful landscapes, and it delivered on both fronts. Dean's propery was amazing, with plenty of space, and a beautiful view of the river. We didn't do much hiking on the property, but mainly because we were so exhausted from all the other hiking we did in Bayfield and on Lake Superior's beautiful coastline. Bring some bug spray for the mosquitoes, but otherwise an absolutely amazing stay. The city nearby has supplies if you forget anything, but it's a wonderful place. Would stay again!
