Lakewood ยท Marinette County ยท Wisconsin

Pitch your tent. Fish the river. Hear nothing but the woods.

Eleven wooded acres above the Peshtigo River, booked to one group at a time. The fire pit, the trail down to the water, the whole quiet place: yours for the weekend.

The kind of quiet you drive three hours for

Pitch your tent among the elms and birches on 11 acres of private Northwoods forest. Hike the steep trail down the hill (give it 20 minutes and wear real shoes) and you'll hit the Peshtigo River. Bring a rod; the fishing is good and the neighbors are herons.

Out the back, hundreds of acres of Marinette County forest connect straight to camp, with the Nicolet National Forest just up the road: hiking, hunting, and enough room to lose an afternoon on purpose.

This is primitive camping, northern Wisconsin style: an outhouse, a picnic table, and a fire pit with the firewood already stacked when you pull in. No streetlights, no highway hum. The deer outnumber the people.

What's at camp (and what isn't)

You get

  • Fire pit with firewood provided
  • Cooking tripod for over-the-fire meals
  • Picnic table at the clearing
  • Outhouse (a proper one)
  • River fishing a hike down the hill
  • Hundreds of acres of county forest next door
  • Deer, birds, and the occasional curious critter

Come prepared

  • Tent-only, so leave the RV at home
  • No potable water. Pack in what you'll drink
  • No showers (the river works in a pinch)
  • River access is a steep 20-minute hike
  • Primitive means primitive: pack in, pack out

that's the whole point, though

if that second list sounds like a feature, not a bug, this is your spot โ†’

okay, one more thing โ†’

The stars here don't compete with anything

No streetlights, no neighbors, no glow on the horizon. Just you, the fire, and a northern Wisconsin sky that goes all the way up. Weekends fill first, so grab yours.
