All our guests get treated like family, in the best way! Laid back, play music, stay up late, have a couple cocktails/beers and just let the air out of tires, so to speak...Our campground is perfect (we think!) for large groups of people that want a beautiful space for an event, like receptions, family or school reunions, work/corporate campouts, Church events, etc. where you can book the whole campground for yourselves. Or, there are three individual sites you can choose from and book separately on our campground. Two are by the river with wide open view of the river. The third has two entrances, big space, and secluded under a couple of big maple and various other trees without view of the Sauk but has a short and easy path to the river. Drive a little further and you'll find an open area site that also has two entrances. It has a nice wide view of the river with access to the river. It also has an established campfire pit there. The first campsite (the first campsite is the furthest one down) is very secluded as well. Driveway drops down to this site and delivers ample room for a few cars and tents, or rv's. (More on RV's in this listing).. The view of the river is beautiful there and the site features two separate coves on the river. There's a camp trailer down there as well...nothing fancy but we occasionally use it. The electrical needs hooked up and the bathroom hooked up in it. But if you're sick of the rain in your tent and want to get out of the rain, it's there. All three sites are very different from each other. We and the property were introduced to HipCamp last year by another HipCamper. and it's a diamond in the rough. Once you go past our shop and the industrial mechanical views and continue down the driveway it turns into a whole different scene. You'd never know that you're within city limits. Just out in the wild. We're still working on the property to maximize the property's potential. We love this property for its closeness to nature and beautiful scenery! There's lots of diversity in plants, neat rocks all over the place! It's a laid back peaceful, relaxing getaway and yet close to town and its amenities, including the North Mountain biking trails. Campfires are allowed except if there's a ban. We might POSSIBLY even deliver some old pallet wood to burn, (message us to see if there's any available,free of charge!!)Site 1 Right by the Sauk River has the driveway that drops down from the campground and delivers you to a secluded vista like view of the Sauk River and Gold Mountain (locals call it Gold Hill) across the river. Plus it has two separate little coves that drop down from your camp where you can disappear and enjoy the serenity. It has a campfire spot and plenty of room for a few tents and parking, enough for 6 to 10 people and probably 3 or 4 cars in your group ( depending on the sizes of your vehicles) without feeling cramped. There is a camp trailer there that is nothing special but we, the owners do use it occasionally when we're not booked ( during the week mostly, we're retired). There's no toilet facility on the site but the campground will have one nearby. Our campground is a fun work in process. This site seems to be the first choice but the others are equally unique!

What to expect

RV/tent site

You'll have this Hipcamp all to yourself.

14 guests max

Campfires allowed

Firepit, private. We can't promise to provide firewood. Sometimes we have old pallets that we break down to burn if the wood can't be repurposed. But you can message ahead of your booking to see if you get lucky and score free campfire wood!

Toilet available

Flush toilet. Right now there's only one toilet that is shared between campsite #1 and #2. That could change during the off season (if we can get our machines repaired and running), but it would be nice to offer our guests a campsite with its own toilet.

Pets allowed

Off leash, on leash. Just use discretion...The other campsites might have their fur babies camping with them and may have possible territory issues. 🧡🐕

Potable water available

Spigot, hose

No showers

There's a hose attachable to water spigot that should be long enough to create a private shower area, there's no hot water, but that's all for now. This may change tho

Pack it out

This is limited space for trash but available. If you buy camp equipment or floatation devices, etc., please take your large cardboard boxes and plastic packaging with you. Food stuffs can be composted. All we're saying is the boxes and the like just take up room, even when broken down. Thanks for understanding!

Cooking equipment absent

Picnic table absent

We're really hoping to have picnic tables for 2025 season but for now there isn't any picnic tables.

No wifi

We're hoping to have that available but no promises. Reception here is slow, or hit and miss.. There's some talk in town regarding better wifi service availability, but that remains to be seen.

Laundry absent

Hot Tub absent

No playground

Depending on wether we can get our equipment running, there's a small chance that we can get a playground for the kiddos made. We do have some ideas that will make it fun for them!
