    Mont du Lac Resort

    Winter camping was cozy in the cabin

    This was my first time at this location and we decided to do a cabin (package) so that we could stay and ski (well, they skied I snowshoed). The cabin was nicely located close to the slope but not in the way of the action.

    Cabin 1 was an RV Cabin (as they call it) which is sort of RV shaped but not on wheels.  Wooden cabin, 2 bedrooms and a loft with plenty of space for sleeping. It was carpeted with outlets and windows and lights .  We had three teenage boys up there and could easily have slept 2 to 3 more.  A mini kitchen with fridge, stove, pots, pans, dishes, soap and microwave as well as full bathroom with shower.  All linens provided. Ah yes - and it's heated/cooled too! Not with a wood stove, but an actual thermostat adjustable heater. Bedrooms have mini plug in ceramic type heaters for extra warmth.

    If you stay in a cabin or campsite (they are open in summer) you get a discount on lift tickets. During the summer, there is a lazy river, mini water slide type of platform and a summer tubing area that runs through the trees!

    While I can not speak for the actual campsites since they were snow covered, I can say that they do have them.

    Additionally, all sites have a fire ring, picnic table and the cabins have BBQ grills. Firewood available for purchase.

    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!

    Jay Cooke State Park Campground

    Winter cabin camping

    I love Jay Cooke year round! The tent camping is great, the park is amazing for hiking and geology study, and there are camper cabins that I have often stayed at as well. This was my first time staying in winter, the camper cabins are cozy and fully heated and really nice. People use them when coming here in winter for the terrific cross country skiing or snowshoeing. The cabins are very simple and have beds, table, heat, and electricity, but no water inside (water punps are nearby, so bring a bucket ir canteen) and no bathroom (but you can use the outhouse nearby, and the campground will have a new bath house by early summer, it is inder construction and almost finished!) . You can use the facilities at the visitor center during the day but they arent open in the evening and are a bit of a trek from the campground. But, it you want to camp in warmth and relative comfort, and want to explire this amazing state park, the camper cabins are a great way to go year round! You can reserve campsites too if you have an RV or dont mind winter camping

    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.

    Jay Cooke State Park Campground

    The Views

    We have stayed in a camper cabin in the winter and RV site in the summer. We have explored so many trails on our snowshoes and cross country skis in the winter and have enjoyed many hikes and mountain bike rides in the summer months. The accommodations were well maintained with very clean campground area. The shower room is very new and the bathrooms were very clean. The cabins are pretty basic with bunk beds and a small table with chairs. The cabin we stayed in was heated with base board heaters that you have control of the temperature. We have also brought our canoe to explore the river and went fishing. There are so many trails to explore so we plan on camping here again and again!

    Anchor Inn Campground

    Great price for a quiet campsite near the Apostle Islands

    Had a lovely stay here on August 18th. You can't beat the price ($14/night for electric up to 50 amps). The woman I booked the reservation through was really nice and laid back. The campground is quiet, chill and safe. The woman's restroom was clean, despite some mildew on the shower ceiling (no big deal). Dog-friendly and free WiFi. Great option if you're looking for something near the Apostle Islands that's inexpensive and includes electricity. I stayed in spot 2, which is near the bathrooms and has a picnic table and fire pit.

    Jay Cooke State Park Campground

    Swinging Bridge and Lots of Hiking

    The main reason we wanted to come to this park was to hike the trails and experience the famous swinging bridge that takes you over the St. Louis River and the rushing rapids below and rocky gorge below. The park dates back to the early 1900’s and its historic character comes from the influence of the Civilian Conservation Corps who made improvements to the park in the 1930’s and 40’s. The park has an 82-site campground and LOTS of activities to keep adults and kids busy.

    The campground is what you would expect in a state park with tall trees, shady sites, lots of activities, and popular with families. Roads and sites are gravel and each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Some campsites are long and suited for large RV’s while others are more rustic tent sites and there are 5 cabins for rent. Twenty-one sites have electric hook-ups. If you are looking for more rustic, remote tent sites there are some hike-in sites. Four sites are located 1 to 4 miles from parking area where each site has picnic table, fire ring and latrine but water must be hauled in.  About half of the sites are reservable online with the others being first come, first served. What we liked was that this park was very well cared as sites and facilities were very clean. Tall trees provided nice shade and campsites were well-spaced so you didn’t feel like you were on top of your neighbor. 

    There is lots to do in this park and we were sorry we didn’t have more time to spend. Activities include hiking (over 50 miles of trails including a stretch of the North Country National Scenic Trail), 8 miles of biking trails, 30+ miles of cross-country ski trails, kayaking and fishing. The park offers hundreds of naturalist programs including nature walks, evening campfire talks, fishing programs, and geocaching.  Just a short drive north of the state park is Gordy’s High Hat which is a famous hamburger joint that has been around for years and still draws a massive crowd. There is a big enough parking lot to pull your RV into if you need to. Food was great and cheap!

    Even if you don’t camp in this park, I think it is well worth the $7/daily admission fee to spend a day enjoying all this place has to offer.

    Paint Rock Springs Campground — St. Croix State Park

    No service

    Felt nice to spend a weekend without cell service about an hour away from home. Forgot to take my usual photos and video of the site all set up but had a few random to share. Nice campground. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There are flush toilets and showers and the office has a store for any last minute needs.

Guide to Solon Springs

Camping cabins near Solon Springs, Wisconsin provide access to the Brule River State Forest and the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The area sits at approximately 1,050 feet elevation with summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F during peak season. Water access is prevalent with over 15 lakes within a 10-mile radius of Solon Springs, creating diverse fishing and boating opportunities for cabin campers.

What to do

Explore riverside trails: At Jay Cooke State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy multiple difficulty levels of hiking. "Love this park! well maintained campground with plenty to do. you can bike, run, hike and camp," notes Katie E. The park features distinctive river rock formations for climbing.

Water activities on Iron Lake: Swimming and boating options abound at lake-based cabin sites. Top O' the Morn Resort & Campground provides direct lake access with cabin accommodations. "Lake has swimming area and swim platform, it's a lake so there are small fish, snails and grass in that area," reports Beth B. The resort includes swimming platforms and beach areas.

Mountain biking: The region offers extensive trail networks connecting to cabins. "Should you find yourself heading to the north shore, take a break and hit the trails of Jay Cooke. A variety of trails awaits you," recommends Theresa D. Trails range from beginner to advanced with both wooded and riverside routes.

What campers like

Secluded waterfront settings: Wilderness Way offers cabin options on a private lake. "It's on a beautiful lake with a swimming area. You can rent a pontoon or take out a canoe or rowboat for free. Great fishing too!" shares Chelsea T. The property maintains free non-motorized boat usage for guests.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Several cabin locations provide nature observation spots. "Saw a lot of wildlife and heard the sounds of loons in the AM and evening," writes Katherine O. about Top O' the Morn Resort. Morning and evening hours typically offer the best wildlife viewing.

Private, tree-covered sites: Most cabin areas maintain natural buffers between accommodations. "Every campsite seems to be well-treed and relatively private, providing a perfect atmosphere to just enjoy nature from your campsite," describes Krista T. Sites often include natural shade with pine or hardwood canopy.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin rentals require advance booking, especially during summer months. At Hayward KOA, which is about 30 minutes from Solon Springs, cabins fill quickly. "Large selection of different campsites from tents to cabins to Rv site of all types (pull throughs, back in, no hook ups to full hook ups)," reports Nate C.

Amenity variations: Cabin facilities differ significantly between locations. "We stayed in site #31 overnight while driving south with our teardrop trailer. The site was so spacious and treed for hammocks or tents or trailers. Fire rings and wood is available on site," explains Angie G.

Weather considerations: The region experiences variable conditions even in summer. "It was pretty buggy and ticks were bad, but that's to be expected. Bog/marsh was beautiful with some wildlife and was generally a very pleasant place to camp," notes Lydia N. Rain gear is recommended regardless of season.

Tips for camping with families

Activity-focused locations: Family-friendly Solon Springs cabin rentals often include structured recreation. Spirit Mountain Campground offers year-round options. "Nice Campsites mostly secluded in the woods. Campsites are not to close to eachother giving you the privacy you want. Great views by the ski lift of Duluth! They also have a spot where they have mini golf, mountain luge, and mountain biking," Jennifer M. shares.

Budget planning: Plan for additional activity costs beyond cabin rental fees. "Because of covid there aren't weekend bundles for activities and everything needed to be purchased separate. One of the nice things is that they can charge everything back to the site so there's no need to carry money," reports Melissa H.

Nearby convenience: Consider proximity to supplies and services when booking cabin rentals. "Does not have water sewer hookups but had a station to dump and fill has electricity at most sites close to water has boat access and camp ground is outside of an awesome lil town," Kay U. explains about Gordon Dam.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for larger vehicles: Not all cabin camping areas accommodate larger RVs. Hayward KOA provides options but with limitations. "Love all this campsite has to offer with amenities! Beautiful area as well. But there are alot of trees that make it very challenging for larger rigs. There are a handful of sites that would be easy to access, I recommend calling first. We have a 43ft 5th wheel," advises Sheila H.

Seasonal variations: Fond du Lac City campground operates with limited season availability. "Quiet campground on the st Louis River just south of duluth and close to Jay Cooke state park. Most sites were pretty open but nice spots right on the river. Water and electric at those sites," explains Justin.

Utilities access: Hookup availability varies significantly between cabin camping areas. "Our site was in a great location in the park and we were surrounded by some very friendly seasonal RV'ers. The grounds were very well maintained and they hosts really went out of their way to welcome us and help us get in and settled into our site," notes Sam C. about Nelson Lake Lodge.
