Sailor Springs is a small three-site campground located just two miles outside of the picturesque tourist town of Bayfield, WI. 2023 will be our first year of operation and we’re excited to host campers on the property and provide a unique camping experience.
The campground is spread out over 5 acres of forest on Bresette Hill Road. After parking at the trailhead, you’ll gather your bags and hike into your glamping site. The trail winds through the woods, leading you first to a valley where the seasonal Clark Creek runs through in the spring. The first two campsites are on the other side of this valley. The trail can be steep in spots and requires a moderate level of fitness and mobility to reach the secluded campsites. The third site is a bit farther into the forest, the little A-frame cabin, Anchor sits on the edge of the spring-fed Brickyard Creek that flows year-round.

Stayed here in September for a few days, and occupied site 1 and 2. Sites are good sized and clean. Our two sites were great, but if I didn't care about being near the lake, I would look at the new sites they put in the wooded area. They were a little more "remote", The clientele mostly consisted of fisherman and bird hunters when I was here, so it seems to attract the more long term stays and not overnighters. The bathroom / shower combination is adequate and is reminiscent of my younger days at summer camp. 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. I also found, since this is further from town, it is very dark here and great for star gazing.

Clean and well maintained campsites

What a great vibe at this campground. The side we were on had sites on a hill, but each site is pull-thru and very level. There’s enough spacing to make each site feel private. The swimming pond is a nice touch. It’s our first time here, but we’re already planning a return trip next spring.
TravelerWe liked the easy drive through sites with full hookup. The campsites were tiered into the hill. This helped sound proof the campsites. There was a large group a few sites down from us that we didn't hear until we walked past their site. Some sites also had a view overlooking the pond and Lake Superior. We could see the full moon reflecting off of Lake Superior. Our site did not have this view but we saw it on a walk in the campground. The unique looking cabins were on the pond and looked to be very convenient for families with children who want to be in the water most of the time. We loved all the amenities of Water, Sewer, Electric and WiFi. We loved the close access to Bayfield and the water excursions we took from Bayfield. One of the highlights for our group was the excellent golf course close to the campground. I gave my review a 4 star because the day we were leaving the campsites lost water pressure and had no water to get ready to leave. I believe the owners will be addressing this problem. They were working on it while we were there.
Scout
You won’t regret staying here!! The cabin is absolutely beautiful. Perfect place to be secluded from everything to relax and enjoy the views!
GuideLoved how peaceful this park was. I stayed at site 40, which backs up to the woods. Site 41 is a little close, but I would still pick this same spot when returning. Bathrooms were clean. HOWEVER, beware of the mosquitoes! They were everywhere in the bathroom making showering intense to be quick. They were so bad that I eventually cut my trip short. Would go back, but later in the year.
Legend
We would return here again and again. On the Presque Isle River, numerous hiking opportunities by the water, in the woods with mega views. Campground was quiet and in the woods, the perfect retreat for those looking to relax and get back in touch with nature. Truly extra ordinary, quieter than Union Bay, close to Lake of the Clouds. Recommended!
Traveler
Very clean, good for all sort of rigs and hookup needs. Very friendly and caring hosts. Close to town. Very reasonable. Quiet . Well be back. This is a great area to go to so much to see and do.
ScoutThe greenhorn Campsite Inspector get a thumbs down for personality. We cut our weekend short after only one night. We could not take the park admin who was checking campsites. After 3 visits tipped over into what felt like harassment...the rain would have been nicer to deal with. We just packed it up and went home...which is right around the corner. We're local and it's the first time we decided to camp in over 30years. It was a bummer to feel so unwelcomed there. We will continue to enjoy the beautiful surrounding and hope that maybe the staff there learns a few valuable lessons on beside manners.
ScoutReel Livin Is well maintained and very peaceful. Lost Land Lake offers good fishing and boating. Kevin and Elise were welcoming and even provided parts to fix a major RV plumbing issue. We stayed in camp site 5. It was a large, pull through site. No issue parking our 40’ DP and toad. I would definitely come back!
ScoutTo start, I’m not a fan of this type of campground. It’s all too chiseled out of a hillside with a fake pond. Looks nice but not my thing. Sites and tables slope.
GuideGreat area near all there is to do in Bayfield
GuideBeautiful park. Loved the hiking and waterfalls. Campsites were big and could hear the stream behind ours.
GuideWe stayed in site 55 which is spacious and it was easy to find a level spot. The sites are nicely spaced, the base is reddish sandy dirt that tracks. We had enough sun access on a fully sunny day to top off the Jackery and phones, not the case with partly cloudy. The shower house is huge and kept very clean. The cell signal at our site came and went but it was stronger in many other locations in the park. Recycling was available for cans and bottles only. Copper Falls is a great place to hike and ideal for riding bikes to access points (which is why we got the bikes!) I was reading Halfway to Heaven and while we weren’t climbing mountains our hike did make me feel a connection with the stories. Arriving I declared I wanted to a bear and an elk. We didn’t see an elk. The first morning a juvenile black bear came into our site lured by the breakfast that was cooked outside. Fortunately due to the concentration of mosquitoes we were eating inside. Turns out it’s the first one in the campgrounds in 10 years! We spent a couple of hours in Ashland and enjoyed our trip, loved our lunch at the brewery!
TravelerWiFi wasn't perfect, but worked well most of the time. I wasn't expecting Verizon coverage, but I got 1-3 bars, and was able to use my hotspot most of the time. The campground was kept up. the grass was mowed. It is less than a mile to Lake Michigan. We would stay there again if we were in the area.
GuideFirst time up to this park, and camping for the weekend. Campsites are very well sized and spaced out pretty good. There are only vault toilets on the north side, but flushing one’s on the south side. There’s a concession stand towards the north end of the park. They sell snacks, park souvenirs, apparel, and ice cream! This is a very family friendly place. All of the campers were super friendly.
RangerThe camp ground at our location was new. They are expanding. The facilities are Brand new. There are two side to this CG. We were in the newer area of the CG. Our site is located on the side of the hill and very level. The only thing at that one site is the spacing to accommodate having your camp fire. It was a little close to your neighbor. Not enough space to have full camp chairs around. That one site (79) I would say best for just passing through. The other site are pretty good. Other than that, the owners are awesome!!! Easy to talk with and chat. Great people! I will say great place my kids loved it… and I will go back again.
GuideThis was our first time camping at Copper Falls, we had previously visited for a day trip, completely taken, we knew we needed to return. The Southern campground doesn’t have any electric and mostly for tent campers, there were still some trailers there. We were in the first loop with woods and some hills behind us, wonderful except for the night there was an intense storm. There was really no place to put our tent that wouldn’t have had some water run off. That’s really the only negative thing. The sites themselves are gorgeously wooded and nice sized. Copper Falls is stunningly beautiful and much of the infrastructure was designed by the CCC. The ranger presence is strong which meant quiet hours were enforced. The facilities were clean and kept that way. They really have something special there and it is clear that they know it with the pride and care used to operate this park. Grab an ice cream sandwich from the concession they are locally made and out of this world!
LegendCampground is close to Bayfield easy bike ride. Nice camp store with ice cream. Smaller camp sites. Full hookups. Play area. Apostle islands and shore line is awesome. Reason for 3 stars is campground was loud with people/kids and vehicles.
ScoutTrees could be trimmed around some of the sites. Restrooms and showers were clean.
Guide
Great location, right in the porcupine mountains. Nice trails to 2 large waterfalls, a staircase to the rocky shores of Lake superior. Just a quick drive to Lake of the Clouds. Be warned that half of the campground allows Generators.
Guide
Large camp site with trees abs wide open area. # 48 was stent site recently made into a RV site with water and electric hook up. This site did not have sewer but there is a dumping station right on sight. WiFi only worked in the lodge and ATT signal was very weak. Owners are lovely friendly people and their kids help run the place too. Lake is calm and peaceful. Saw a lot of wildlife and heard the sounds of loons in the Am and evening. We wanted to extend our stay but work was calling. I wish we had a way to connect to WiFi or a hotspot in our camper. The we would have.
Ranger
Super sweet kind owners. Facilities are nice. If there was laundry available, it would be five stars.
ScoutFound this gem of a campground while passing thru this area.
Nice quiet campground. This campground seemed to be mostly filled with RVs. We were tent camping and they had a well shaded,very clean and quiet area for us.
The owners were quick to return our phone call when trying to make a reservation.
Very friendly owners!
GuideLoved 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.
GuideGreat hikes and pretty well dispersed
GuideClean, efficient, groomed, with a new owner who is enthusiastic and really working hard to provide a great customer service experience. When, if ever, have you been to a campground that disinfects the dump station between uses? Yep, this one does.
We were fortunate to experience this campground in two very different situations.
When we arrived there was a large family gathering covering three campsites with eight to ten cousins all enjoying the playground and waterfront. They kids really seemed to be enjoying themselves and the parents could relax and let them play. The campground was bustling with the activity. It reminded me of family gatherings on the lake when I was growing up.
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. The quiet peaceful evenings that followed were exactly what we were looking for.
Here rustic doesn't mean unkempt, dirty, broken down, or forgotten.
