Hidden Shady Nook

3 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Perched on the spring-fed shores of Pike Lake in Wisconsin's Chippewa County, Hidden Shady Nook delivers the kind of lakeside escape that makes you want to cancel your checkout date. The resort spreads across 800 feet of shoreline on Pike Lake—a 200-acre, 38-foot-deep gem known for clear water and excellent fishing—positioning it as one of the most distinctive camping experiences in central Wisconsin. Cornell, a small town tucked into the rolling Chippewa River valley, serves as the jumping-off point, and the surrounding forests of the Wisconsin Northwoods provide a backdrop that shifts from emerald green in summer to blazing color by fall. Twenty-five RV and camping sites plus four lodging options give guests plenty of ways to enjoy the lake, from full-hookup spots to comfortable overnight accommodations. Thirteen fishing docks, a private boat launch, and kayak rentals keep water lovers busy from first light to sunset, while the onsite restaurant—famous for Friday fish fries, Saturday ribs, and Sunday brunch—means you never have to drive far for a memorable meal. Live music performs on the lakefront deck throughout the summer, the pole barn hosts activities and events, and UTV and ATV trail access opens the surrounding forests to exploration. Boat storage, a dog park, and a playground round out an amenity list rarely matched at a lakefront resort of this size. Pike Lake itself is the star of the show—spring-fed and exceptionally clear, it supports strong populations of walleye, bass, and panfish that draw anglers from across the Midwest. The resort's 800 feet of private shoreline gives guests direct access to a sandy beach for swimming, paddling, or simply sitting with a cold drink watching the loons drift by. Surrounding the property, mature hardwoods and conifers filter the light and provide the natural canopy that gives the resort its name—shady, quiet, and genuinely tucked away from the noise of everyday life. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail traverses the property itself, offering guests access to miles of hiking through terrain shaped by the last glaciers to push across Wisconsin. The trail winds through kettles, drumlins, and moraines that tell the story of a landscape still bearing the marks of its glacial past. Beyond the property, the Chippewa River corridor provides paddling, and the surrounding forests offer birding, hunting, and wildlife watching throughout the seasons. The city of Eau Claire, with its vibrant arts scene and full range of dining and shopping, lies less than an hour west for those who need an urban fix between lake days. Hidden Shady Nook shines brightest in summer when live music floats across the water and the fishing is at its peak, though the fall walleye run draws dedicated anglers well into October. Spring arrives early on the lake and brings migrating waterfowl and the first warm evenings perfect for dock sitting. The resort's combination of waterfront access, on-site dining, live entertainment, and trail access makes it rare among Wisconsin campgrounds—an all-in-one destination rather than just a place to sleep. Book your site on Pike Lake and discover why guests return to Hidden Shady Nook year after year.

Sun Retreats Gun Lake

13 RV Sites

Sun Retreats Gun Lake in Hopkins, Michigan — formerly Hidden Ridge RV Resort — is a gated resort community in Allegan County that combines the recreational depth of Western Michigan's lake country with resort-level amenities across a well-established property surrounded by the hardwood forest and lakefront character that defines southwest Michigan's most appealing outdoor destinations. The resort's position near Gun Lake puts guests within reach of one of the most productive fishing lakes in West Michigan and within driving range of the wine country, beaches, and craft brewing scene that have made the broader region a consistent Michigan weekend-trip destination. Two lakes within the resort's grounds provide paddleboating and fishing directly from camp, giving guests meaningful on-site water recreation without needing to trailer a boat. A heated pool handles the midday recreation on warm-weather days, the log cabin lodge serves as the community gathering space where guests naturally develop the neighborly familiarity that gated resort communities cultivate most effectively, and activity courts for horseshoes, shuffleboard, and pickleball round out an amenity lineup suited to both active families and relaxed extended-stay guests. Four nearby golf courses give golf-inclined guests a rotation that sustains a full week of fairway variety without repeating a course. Pets are welcome throughout, and the gated community structure provides the security and managed atmosphere that makes the resort a consistent choice for families returning year after year to the same slice of West Michigan lake country. Gun Lake Casino, approximately five miles from the resort and operated by the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians, provides evening entertainment and dining in a facility that has become one of West Michigan's most active gaming and event venues. The Martin Drag Strip nearby adds motorsport options for guests whose recreational interests extend to the track. Gun Lake itself — the reservoir for which the broader community is named — is one of Allegan County's most productive fishing lakes, with largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, perch, and pike drawing anglers from across the West Michigan region through the full open-water season. Saugatuck and Douglas, southwest Michigan's most celebrated art and dining destination, is approximately 45 minutes from the resort — a community of galleries, culinary restaurants, wine bars, and Lake Michigan beach access that makes for one of the better day-trip itineraries in the state. Holland, with Tulip Time Festival in May and the Dutch-heritage downtown, provides a similarly rewarding alternative direction from the resort. Sun Retreats Gun Lake operates through the Michigan outdoor season from spring through fall, with summer representing peak demand for the lake recreation, pool, and the Gun Lake Casino's entertainment calendar. West Michigan's fall color season in October — particularly strong in the Allegan County mixed hardwood forest — extends the appealing camping window well past the summer crowds. Reserve sites ahead for the summer peak, and ask about the resort's scheduled activities calendar when booking to plan your stay around programming that enhances the baseline lake-and-lodge experience. The Allegan County area's combination of Gun Lake's water recreation, casino entertainment, and the broader West Michigan wine and art corridor makes Sun Retreats Gun Lake a versatile home base for guests with varied interests and itinerary flexibility.
