    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several cabin accommodations dot the wooded landscape near Ashland, Wisconsin, with the Apostle Islands Area Campground and Kreher RV Park offering furnished cabin rentals among towering trees. Most cabins feature basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and access to communal bathrooms, though specific furnishings vary between properties. "We loved our cozy cabin. It's the old creamery on a farm, and is equipped with a futon sleeper, comfy chairs, a sink, picnic table and lawn chairs," reported one guest about a local farmstay. Sailor Springs Glamping provides cabin options with showers and toilets on-site, while others like Eagle Ridge Basecamp offer more primitive accommodations without electric hookups or running water.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months from May through October when tourism increases around Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. Pet policies vary by property—some cabins like those at Top O' the Morn Resort & Campground welcome pets, while others restrict animals entirely. One visitor noted, "This is a municipal park, right on the shores of Lake Superior. A beautiful little park, with a great playground and a boat launch." Some properties like Copper Falls State Park Campground operate year-round, offering winter cabin options for those seeking snowy north woods adventures.

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchenette facilities may be available in some units, though many provide only outdoor cooking options at fire rings or communal grills. The Hayward KOA, within driving distance of Ashland, offers "a large selection of different campsites from tents to cabins to RV sites of all types," according to a camper. Nearby Bayfield features small markets for essential groceries, while larger supply runs typically require a trip to Ashland's more extensive stores. Water is commonly available at central spigots rather than in-cabin plumbing at more rustic properties, so bringing containers for water transportation is advisable.

      Birkie Barn farmstay camper cabin

      Great farm stay near Ashland and Apostle Islands

      I was in the area for a workshop, but wanted a place "out of town" for a peaceful retreat in the evenings. Tom’s homestead is so welcoming, and I loved my cozy cabin. Its the old creamery on a farm, and is equipped with a futon sleeper, comfy chairs, a sink, picnic table and lawn chairs. Tom also has a Bed and Breakfast on the proerty. Tom is so great to talk to, and his property is an old dairy farm on country land with wildlife ponds and miles of trails you can hike or cross county ski. Great birdwatching everywhere! The whole place is  restful and meditative. My little cabin even had an en suite sauna that I hope to try out next time I come! No bathroom in cabin, but you can go inside the host home, and also use the kitchen and family room there. Ashland is about a 15 minut drive, Bayfield about 30 minute drive. Lovely spot to stay, I’ll be back!

      Kreher RV Park

      Love this place

      This is a municipal park, right on the shores of Lake superior. A beautiful little park, with a great playground and a boat launch. Each site has a picnic table fire pit and grill. Water and electric are provided with your $40 a night Lakeside campsite or $35 park campsite. Beautiful grounds very well-kept and very clean! They offer monthly reservations or it is a first come first serve park.

      Presque Isle — Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park

      Gorgeous views and perfect rustic space

      Great rustic campground on the far west side of the state park. One loop is generator free which was wonderful. Easy to get other places in the park. Water pump and vault toilets. Sites are large and level with grass or packed sand and have a picnic table and fire ring. Dumpsters available for trash.

      Copper Falls State Park Campground

      Waterfalls and great sites

      This campground has well spaced sites with electric.   There are two campgrounds, north and south.   The north has water spigots to fill your RV or water bottles and two toilet buildings.   The south has a dump station and water fill.

      Presque Isle — Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park

      Stunning landscapes

      We camped at Presque Isle in the Porkies for a long weekend in October. The color change was amazing! This campground is rustic with only vault toilets and no hookups. There is a section that allows generators during certain hours of the day, a non-generator area and a few walk-in sites. There are a few sites which are along the cliff side looking down to Lake Superior, we were lucky enough to reserve one of those, site 2. It was a very large site, equipped with the standard picnic table and fire ring. Many of the sites back up to the woods, which were smaller and a little soggy while we were there. This campground is one of two in the park, Union Bay is the other more modern campground located right on the lake. The sites there are much smaller and crowded. I prefer the more remote Presque Isle campground by far. Less amenities but far less people. The hiking throughout this park is unparalleled in its beauty. The campground is close to the Presque Isle river trail which is waterfall after waterfall. The park has a ski lift we rode to check out the views from the top of the mountain, as well as an 18 hole disc course. It’s the hiking and rugged beauty of the area that is the main attraction, especially catching the fall colors surrounding Lake Superior.

      Apostle Islands Area RV park and Camping

      Perfect destination to camp by kayak

      We kayaked to many campgrounds and islands in the national lakeshore. paddling a total of 60 miles we were able to make it to 3 different island campgrounds. Bathrooms and picnic tables were at most camp sites, some camp sites were very desolate and rustic. No running water on some islands.

      Apostle Islands Area RV park and Camping

      Great woodsy location close to town

      Loved this location. 1.5 miles out of Bayfield, yet great outdoorsy feel with decent privacy. Can bike to the brewery or wineries and bike to town. Common area great for corn hole and a meager playground for the kids. Also super close to the gourmet garage bakery. Yum.


    Guide to Ashland

    Cabins near Ashland, Wisconsin provide convenient access to Lake Superior's south shore at 600-700 feet elevation. This region experiences four distinct seasons with summer highs averaging 75-80°F, making it ideal for lakeside exploration and forest recreation. Winter cabin stays require preparation for temperatures that can drop well below freezing with significant snowfall accumulation.

    What to do

    Waterfall exploration: Copper Falls State Park Campground offers multiple cascades within hiking distance of camp. "Copper Falls State Park is a fantastic destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The hiking trails are well-maintained and offer beautiful scenic views, making for an enjoyable trek through nature," notes camper Malte W. The park's signature Doughboys Trail leads to several overlook platforms.

    Lake Superior paddling: Launch kayaks from shoreline access points to explore the Apostle Islands. A visitor to Apostle Islands Area RV park and Camping shared, "We kayaked to many campgrounds and islands in the national lakeshore. paddling a total of 60 miles we were able to make it to 3 different island campgrounds." Kayak rentals are available in Bayfield for those without equipment.

    Biking trails: Access dedicated paths directly from some campgrounds. A guest at Kreher RV Park reported, "It's connected to a bike trail that you can take to downtown or farther north along the lake. You can follow it all the way to the end of town where you'll find a large beach and (free) artesian well water."

    What campers like

    Easy lake access: Sites with direct water views rank highest in reviews. At Top O' the Morn Resort & Campground, visitors appreciate the natural surroundings: "Lake is calm and peaceful. Saw a lot of wildlife and heard the sounds of loons in the AM and evening." Most lakeside cabins require advance booking, especially during peak summer.

    Clean facilities: Maintained bathrooms and showers matter to guests. A camper at Apostle Islands Area Campground noted, "The bathroom/shower combination is adequate and is reminiscent of my younger days at summer camp." Some rustic cabins offer shared bathhouse access rather than private facilities.

    Quiet environments: Many visitors seek peaceful settings away from highway noise. "When we arrived there was a large family gathering covering three campsites with eight to ten cousins all enjoying the playground and waterfront... Then right before dusk they packed up and left. Within an hour we went from noisy happy kids to hearing a loon somewhere out on the lake," described a guest at Wildwood Haven Resort and Campground.

    What you should know

    First-come availability: Some cabins cannot be reserved in advance. A camper at Kreher RV Park explained, "This is a first come first serve campsite, self pay. We arrived around 6 after changing flat tire and there were no sites available." Arriving before 1pm increases chances of securing a spot.

    Water sources: Not all cabin accommodations include running water. Many require guests to use central spigots. A visitor mentioned, "Water and electric are provided with your $40 a night Lakeside campsite or $35 park campsite." Bring containers for transporting water if staying at rustic cabins.
