Luci's Lilly Pad

2 sites · Lodging3 acres · Gillett, WI

Fully furnished 21 foot camper tucked into mostly wooded 2.6 acres with water frontage on private Warrington Lake just north of Shawano Lake. Bonfires... fishing...boating... Snowmobile and ATV trails. We have electric and heat for the camper. Ice fishing for crappies is a lot of fun, I can pretty much guarantee bites. Summer fishing for bluegills and largemouth bass is a blast. I love watching a bonfire and listening to the bullfrogs and wood ducks at dusk. I personally am not much for ATV or snowmobile trail riding due to my fishing addiction but the trails are right there and you can hop on your machine and go right from the camper. Canoe and four person paddle boat available in the summer. Camper has an upper and lower queen bed along with the side benches that fold down which makes two more large sleeping areas. There is a sand point well with a pitcher pump that also works in the winter for non-potable water. Camper plumbing works in the summer and doodie/comode bags available for the winter months. I am looking forward to meeting you!
