Welcome and Hello! We'll be OPENING the FIRST WEEKEND of MAY!! There's the after every winter campground road cleanup/maintenance. Our guests can enjoy being 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 relaxing getaway and yet close to town and its amenities, including North Mountain Bike Park..

Site 1 : Right by the River

88% (4)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 15 · Vehicles under 35 ft

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 15 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!

Site 2 : Great Rock

RV/tent site · Sleeps 16 · Vehicles under 35 ft

Beautiful panorama view of the Sauk River and Gold Mountain, (but the locals here call it Gold Hill ). This site has a more open approach but still maintains ample privacy. Iit has two entrances or exits as it's a half circle to pull in/out of the site. There's a flusing toilet in the outhouse that is tucked under trees, and potable water accessessable from a fawcet. The water and outhouse is shared with site 1. This site is large an accommodating with an interesting monolithic boulder to take a look at and most say it has a ton of sparkle to it..it's a really cool piece of rock. and theres access to the river at the little boat ramp between this site and site 1. this is also shared between the two sites. There is also the remnants of our large, old gazeebo made of bige metal pipes. But we're hoping to get that rebuilt, 9it fell down about three years ago...long story but intersting!!

Site 1 : Right by the River

It was a very quiet and peaceful location right next to a river. My dog had a blast running around and going from the boat launch and back to our site. There was nobody else there the weekend we went but the site 1 and 2 are far apart I feel like each site is its own lil peaceful place. I look forward to going back and maybe bringing more family and friends.

Site Beautiful but No Toilet

Tent · Group trip ·

Site 1 : Right by the River

We booked this campsite because the listing mentioned it has a flushing toilet, we are relatively new to camping and wanted to ensure our first few experiences are comfortable and to our liking. The toilet on site was in shambles and had a crack and looked like it hasn’t been used or cleaned for months. It was unusable when we booked this site with a huge crack and full of dirt and debris. We sent a message confirming the availability of flushing toilet with the host before our intended travel date and had been assured that there will be a flushable toilet available but that was not the case. If you want a hardcore camping experience and are okay to drive out of campsite for your toilet needs, the site by the river is beautiful and secluded but we were very disappointed with the toilet situation. The host came to greet us and mentioned that they are doing their best to get the toilet replaced but that never happened during our visit.

Site 1 : Right by the River

It was a very peaceful trip, site #1 was literally right on the water I would 100% recommend for a single camper or at most 4 people

A BEAUTIFUL spot!

Site 1 : Right by the River

An awesome spot for camping! The river was so beautiful and perfect for swimming. The campsite was set up well with lots of space for larger groups. The clearing gets a ton of sunshine so be prepared to be hot in the summer and possibly bring a canopy for shade if you are sensitive to the sun! Having a real toilet and running water was a nice touch too
