The 12x24 cabins sleep up to four guests with bunk beds and a futon, and provide outdoor amenities such as a picnic table and fire pit. Campsites sit steps from the Peshtigo River and include modern campground facilities plus on-site activities like volleyball, hiking, and fishing.
Flatwater kayaking trips on the Peshtigo River offer self-guided paddling through wildlife-rich scenery and lily-pad-lined stretches, suitable for families and couples. Across offerings, shuttle services, guided trips, and campground amenities combine to deliver an accessible outdoor experience focused on river recreation and comfortable overnight options.
