Come get away in our grove of balsam pine trees in a rural area with lots of wildlife to see and hear. We have 5 primitive campsites, one for large groups and three for smaller more private camping and one drive in site for camping out of vehicle or tent . We offer un mapped hiking trails onsite and there is plenty of activities to do within 10 to 15 miles from camp. Activities include swimming at local beaches, Nemadji State Forest, General CC Andrews State Forest, ATV riding, lots of great fishing lakes, several rivers for kayaking and canoeing, local restaurants, coffee houses, movie theater, general store, shopping, antiques/craft, grocery, gas, local brewery, agate center, fire museum. The land was purchased by the Sway family in the late 70's from a farmer and has been in the family since. We are one of the 4 current land owners of this property and plan to keep the land in the family as long as we can. Our home was built in 2011 on part of the property. Since living here we have used the land for hiking, gardening, wood harvesting, selling Christmas trees, and now we are excited for our new adventure of opening a small part of our land for camping. We are excited for you to enjoy our land as much as we do.

Site #2 Large Group Open Area

There is More Than Pictures Show!

My son and I recently enjoyed campsite #2. It is hard to capture all that their land has to offer in a few pictures. The site was clean and open with a nice fire pit and a decent picnic table. We have a very large tent and it fit in the back of the site no problem. The site was an old Christmas Tree farm so the remaining pines are just beautiful, especially with the twilight of the sunset shining through. Things I did not know notice ahead of time on the Hipcamp site were the cute convenience "store" next to the outhouse and the wide hiking trails. Both were much more than I would have expected for what they charge. The trails are beautiful and have a number of offshoot trails that loop back. As far as privacy, we were there one night with sites 1-4 booked and other than the folks going to site 3 a couple times, you never really saw anyone and everyone was quiet enough where it didn't bother in the least. There is enough space between the sites. There is a trail overlooking the field to the east with a couple Adirondack chairs to enjoy the sunrise or anytime. There is a bocce set in the store to use and we ranged the property after everyone left. It was so nice and we got to meet the hosts before we left. They seemed very glad to be doing this and have put a lot of work into the place. ...and you sure cannot beat the price. This is nothing like a normal campground where there are campers, pets, and noise in every direction. Highly recommend.

Site #3 ONE TENT & PRIVATE

Clean and well kept campground. A little mazey to navigate until you realize that is for the purpose of getting around other folks' sites without disturbing them (I think). General store was nice. Tent area was flat, quiet and peaceful location.

Site # 4 Private/Near Outhouse

A great night of stargazing

Directions to get there were clear and they had a very helpful cart in the parking area to transport all my gear along with a thoughtful little general store for some essentials. The site itself felt very private with a clever path through the trees, which was very helpful for my planned night of stargazing/astrophotography attempts. Would come back to camp again!

Vehicle Camping Drive In Or Tent

Perfect spot to pitch the tent for the night. Close enough to the interstate but also peaceful and quiet.

Site #1 One tent small group

It was a great stay here! The “general store” was super convenient for having wood for fires. We got in late at night and the light up signs were so helpful to lead us in the right direction. Definitely would recommend camping here!
