Hike-in, Off-Grid Camping: an A-frame Cabin

The Clarks moved to Bayfield, WI in 2019 from Orcas Island, WA and have since become actively involved in the community. In 2021, Abe started True North Sailing Charters with his brother Josh, and in 2022, Kate opened Penny Print Studio. Both businesses cater to the tourism market and local residents of all ages. At Sailor Springs, we hope to create a peaceful place where guests can spend the night in a unique and memorable way that adds to their Lake Superior adventure! By staying with us you are directly supporting our family and that goal.

We love living on the outskirts of Bayfield and the Apostle Islands.

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.
