ScoutSite 28. Literally right on shore. Sleeping to the waves and waking up to endless water. T-Mobile says no coverage in Dyrt app, but I had two bars most of the time.
RangerSites are very close together but the area is beautiful. Maybe it was unusual but it was very windy for 3 days in a row
TravelerBeautiful, quiet campground with a true wilderness feel. The three nearby waterfalls are a must-see, and make sure to spend some time exploring the riverbed around them—it was one of the highlights of our stay. Great location for hiking, scenery, and enjoying the natural side of the Porcupine Mountains.
TravelerWe had a site along the lake, close to the bath house and across from the camp host. Barb house and showers very clean. Bought fire wood at a great a lot right down the road.
GuideNice, clean, secure and safe campground...Lakefront right in city of Ashland....we booked online around dusk and found an open site. Water/30/50amp sites...dump station onsite.....Highly recommend
RangerThis campground offers rv/camper, tent, pop up tent, and dome stays. This is a remote location and provides peace on a lake with loons!
GuideNice campground in WI. Large sites carved out of a forest. Feels very private without being claustrophobic. 10’s of miles of trails to different features: falls, lakes, etc. Vault toilets dispersed throughout campground but need some attention. Spent one night as we were just passing through but would stay again.
TravelerWe had two nights here in two different spots. Price is a little high but it does include utilities which is nice. Most spots are 2 night minimum unless you’re filling a gap between reservations which is what we did and it was great. Staff really friendly and helpful. Nice trees around sites. Sites were close but we still found it pretty quiet. Good location to go in to town. Would definitely return.
TravelerThis campground was very clean and beautiful. It's a great place to stay with a family. We stayed in site 36 and found it to be spacious and close enough to the playground and bathrooms for our kids to run down on their own. The staff was kind and helpful.
Cabin camping near Saxon, Wisconsin provides access to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and Lake Superior shoreline. Most cabin rentals operate seasonally from May through October, with temperatures ranging from 40°F nights to 80°F days in summer months. Water access is a common feature at many properties, with some offering direct lake frontage for swimming and fishing.
Waterfall exploration: 3 miles from Copper Falls State Park. The park features multiple waterfalls accessible via well-maintained trails. "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," shares Malte W., who visited Copper Falls State Park Campground.
Lake Superior access: 30-minute drive north. Cabin guests can easily visit beaches and shoreline access points. A visitor to Apostle Islands Area Campground notes, "Great campground with swimming hole & great access to Bayfield for island ferry's!" This makes it convenient for cabin stayers to take day trips to the water.
Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing: Winter activities. Several cabin properties maintain winter access. "The Porcupine Mtns were a 30 minute drive north and we had a great time there," reports Steven S., who stayed at Lake Gogebic State Park while exploring winter trails.
Seclusion and stargazing: Dark skies region. Many cabins outside town limits offer excellent night sky viewing. Adam A. noted about Wildwood Haven Resort and Campground: "I also found, since this is further from town, it is very dark here and great for star gazing."
Lakefront locations: Direct water access. Several properties feature cabins situated right on lakes. Jim W. describes one such property: "Within an hour we went from noisy happy kids to hearing a loon somewhere out on the lake. The quiet peaceful evenings that followed were exactly what we were looking for."
Trail connectivity: Hiking options from doorstep. Some cabins connect directly to trail systems. At Kreher RV Park, Ryan S. appreciates that "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."
Seasonal operation: Most close October-April. While some offer year-round availability, most close for winter. According to one camper, "Seasonal availability varies with most properties operating from May through October."
Kitchen supplies: Often limited. Many cabin rentals provide only basic kitchen equipment. Pack cooking supplies accordingly. Kelly at Wildwood Haven Resort mentions, "This family run campground has all the necessities," but doesn't specify kitchen equipment.
Limited cell service: Prepare for disconnection. Coverage can be spotty, especially at more remote properties. "Spotty cell service. Very spotty cell service," notes Lee D., who stayed at Presque Isle - Porcupine Mountains State Park.
Bedding requirements: Verify before arrival. Some cabins require guests to bring their own linens and sleeping bags. Others provide basics. Double check with your specific rental.
Playground access: Kid-friendly amenities. Several cabin properties include playground equipment. Adam A. found this crucial at Wildwood Haven Resort: "They have some playground equipment both at the main loop and the wooded loop, this proved to be a lifesaver for my 4 year old."
Beach proximity: Easy swimming access. Look for cabins with nearby beaches for family swimming. At Lake Gogebic State Park Campground, Steven S. appreciated that "The beach area was nice with a nice big sandy beach for the kids."
Cabin spacing: Privacy considerations. Some properties offer more secluded cabins than others. "Sites are close together and not private. The campground was never dark or quiet," reports Kay K. about one location, highlighting the importance of selecting properties with adequate spacing for family needs.
Bug protection: Evening insects common. Mosquitoes can be prevalent, especially at dusk. "Bugs were not a problem during the day but the second that sun goes down have the bug spray ready," advises a visitor to Lake Gogebic.
Camp store access: Limited supplies nearby. Stock up before arrival as local options are sparse. Sam C. advises about Kreher RV Park: "Would definitely recommend. Ashland is a nice small town with several good options for food/restaurants and groceries."
Site levelness: Varies by property. Some cabin and RV sites require significant leveling. "Sites were generous in size and most has good separation with lots of trees. Nice hiking on the North Country Scenic Trail," reports one visitor who notes that level sites are not always guaranteed.
Water quality: Local artesian wells. Several properties feature excellent natural water sources. Ryan S. recommends: "You can follow it all the way to the end of town where you'll find a large beach and (free) artesian well water. The water is delicious and very cold!"
