Wildflower Wanderlust

2 sites · Tents20 acres · Sturgeon Bay, WI
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. Also located within miles is the Ahnapee River, which is ideal for canoeing and kayaking.

The best camping near J W Wells State Park guide

Overview

About

With 678 acres and a sweet three miles of shoreline, it’s easy to see why Wells State Park is popular and well traveled. Long long ago a man named Wells pioneered Green Bay for lumber and boomed business of sawmills and lumber companies. Over the years, the park became famous for its gorgeous waters and excellent camping!

Come for the day and take a dip in the gorgeous sand beach or party it up in the picnic area that is large and can fit your entire tribe. If you wanna stay beneath the stars, stay overnight at one of the modern campsites. The sites are nice and grassy, making for sweet sleeping conditions. The beaches are clean and clear. All ya’ll clean freaks rejoice—reports show that Wells has the best bathroom reviews of all time. Wells accommodates all nature lovers, including those who need a little more than fabric separating them from the sky. Rent a rustic cabin, or reserve a spot at the lodge that can sleep up to twelve peeps. Wells, whatcha waiting for?

When to go
