JOHN DILLINGER KNEW WHAT THE GANGSTERS KNEW: THE WISCONSIN NORTHWOODS WERE THE PERFECT PLACE TO DISAPPEAR.
While the FBI hunted America's most wanted across the Midwest, Dillinger and his crew found refuge in the remote lakes and forests of Vilas County — the same lakes your kayak will cross tomorrow.
This A-frame luxury tent is a replica of the canvas tents used in the 1920s and '30s, curated with historic Dillinger photographs and Prohibition-era memorabilia as part of POV Resort's LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM OF CAMPING — AMERICA'S FIRST. One of the most secluded sites in the campground, with a covered porch overlooking deep forest and no neighboring campsites in sight.
THE SPACE
Inside: a queen bed, full futon, and kitchen table sleeping up to 4. The site also has room for a 2-person BYO sidecar tent — sleeping 6 total. No appliances or running water. A POV Power Station — included with your rate — runs lights, phone chargers, laptops, fans, CPAP machines, and other low-draw devices.
OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR
Private firepit, charcoal grill, hammock, tiki torches, and a picnic table. A shared gas grill station with provided tanks is available in the campground (between sites 8 and 9). Wood swings and hammocks throughout the resort. Mulch ground cover — no more tracking mud. A propane space heater is provided — bring or purchase 1 lb canisters in our self-serve store (one gets you through the night).

ULTIMATE SUMMER GETAWAY - TOP RESORT EXPERIENCE
Nature is THE place to be, and we've got plenty of it here at Coadys' Point of View Lake Resort and Glamping Campground. During the spring, summer, and fall months POV Resort is a beautiful wilderness retreat. We have excellent fishing on North Twin Lake, whether you fish off our docks or further out on the lake. Crystal clear waters also provide expansive room for POV's water sports - swimming, tubing, boating, and water skiing as well as canoeing, kayaking, or paddle boarding. Either rent one of our boats or bring your own boat or wave runners for fun on the crystal-clear waters of North Twin Lake. Horseshoes, volleyball, basketball, and on-site trails are just some of the activities offered on-site at the resort’s campus. And there is always the sport of relaxing on our great sandy beach! Nearby you’ll also find thrilling zip lining, waterfalls, and go-kart rides.

ORIENTATION TO GROUNDS
Nature and the deep woods are THE place to be - we are excited to host you at the resort! Coadys' Point of View Lake Resort & Campgrounds is open and following the state's health and safety directive for lodging and camping businesses, working to further ensure your stay is as healthy and as fun as can be! We have purposely kept our campgrounds rustic to minimize disturbing the woods - we took down as few trees as possible to keep the forest intact.
Glamping at POV isn't typical Northwoods seclusion - our campsites are cozy but not as close to each other as an RV park. We feel the amenities on-site and the beauty of the forest and surrounding area more than make up for the snug nature of the campgrounds. With this goal, there isn't enough turnaround for most RVs, travel trailers, and boat trailers in the campgrounds.

PETS
Pets are not allowed in the campgrounds to keep sounds to a minimum.

QUIET HOURS
POV is a family-oriented campgrounds, and we ask everyone respect the relaxing nature of the woods. Quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am daily. That being said, while we are in the national forest, keep in mind we are not a completely super secluded area where you won't hear anyone ever...
