If you want a rustic experience, this is the place you are looking for. If you are looking for a…read moreluxury resort, this is not for you. There are self-serve cabins, that have some of the essentials for a stay, like pots and pans. You bring your own towels and toiletries. The owners are friendly and helpful if an issue arises. There is a place for swimming, but it does not appear it is used often, so it is not a sandy beach meant for building sandcastles, but if you have children who want so splash around in the water, there is a designated location for that. The lake is small and quiet, perfect for fishing, kayaking, paddle boating, and canoeing. My family has stayed several times, and experienced many of the cabins. Some are better kept than others, but all have a rustic cabin feel.

He met some great boys, and gained so much confidence in himself, as well as maturity. Upon returning from Camp Highlands - he was a much stronger person! This has since served him well in high school. The Bachmann family has done an incredible job to keep the camp based on basic principles, they call them Camper Qualities and there are 16 of them: Character, Friendship, Leadership, Respect, Responsible, etc.... This is a camp camp - it's not a sports camp. They do plenty of sports, but they also do other fun activities like fishing, woodworking, etc... We've since send our other son there, and its been a good experience for him. It's a nice escape from the North Shore of Chicago.

New owners took over so we gave the campground another chance. Rented a pontoon boat for half the day but wasn't able to get on it until an hour after our time because "there wasn't someone certified to bring the boat around for check in" never received an hour extended on to our time to make up for the hour lost. Rented it out the next day and when we turned it back in they said there was a bunch of stuff damaged to it but there wasn't. They showed me a small rubbed mark on a cushion that I never noticed and no one was even in that area of the boat. They said the whole cushion would need to be replaced but after arguing about it they settled on me just paying them 80 dollars. We had no intentions of ever returning but this year a family member wanted to use our boat for when they camped there so we drove there to drop it off and spend the day. They rented a dock but still had to pay a boat launching fee which is crazy because if you use a dock, of course you have to launch your boat. They used the floating docks and there was no tie offs to tie the boat to so they had to use the poles of the dock. This campground is money hungry!! Was with the old owners and still is with the new owners. This review is from the summer of 2023 which involves the new owners and not the old owner (Heather)

We meet up with extended family, mix of younger and older kids. A reliably great time, exactly what a "week up north" is supposed to be. Tons of activities, perfect sandy beach, good fishing from dock or boat. Place is run by a great genuine family. Lots of water sports available - skiing, tubing, etc etc. The cabins are a bit on the rustic/vintage side but very clean, most are right on the water. Staff is super attentive, food (breakfasts and dinners) is great. Very family oriented.

We stayed in the Manor House (four individual suites that can be combined or used separately). The eight of us (one Grannie, three parents, four kids aged 15 - 22) stayed there after leaving the Super Eight in Tomahawk WI where we were attending a wedding. This family resort is one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. Situated on the stunning Lake Manson in Rhineland WI, the owners Brad & Amy Francis were excellent hosts. We called very last minute to get the rooms after a not so pleasant stay at the Super Eight. When we arrived, Brad took us over to the rooms before taking any kind of payment, then told us to come on back to the office whenever we were ready. The rooms were nice and clean, with beautiful decks off of each of the second floor rooms and a nice patio off of the first floor rooms with views of the lake just a few feet away. As we stood there enjoying the view, a bald eagle swooped right by to welcome us! With multiple piers, the lake was never more than a few feet away, boats, kayacks, bikes, a playground, a recreation room, water skiing & wakeboarding, fishing poles were all available for use as well as a lovely beach area with plenty of room to relax. The vibe was total relaxation or fun activities - whatever you want to do, no scheduling required. You could take advantage of the meal plan if you wanted, or you could make use of the kitchens in each suite. We ended up eating one evening meal there (the Sunday night grilled extravaganza) which was most tasty. But mostly we just relaxed and enjoyed our time in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. I would highly recommend this place to families of all shapes and sizes! Relax and enjoy the beauty and/or play and enjoy the lake - it's all up to you!

It was such a fun, unique and refreshing trip to take in the winter. It truly seemed like we were in a real life snowglobe. The resort itself seemed to be about 13 cabins. We were in one that comfortably slept 6 grown adults. We also were able to bring our little pug up with us (For a small additionally fee). The family that runs the resort is as sweet as can be. Very hospitable & has a great resort dog that we saw running around during our time there. The snow had fallen fresh, making it a bit difficult to get out of the drive way but it was plowed in record time. I would of loved to enjoy the back deck of the cabin more (that had an awesome hanging bed!) or been able to have my dog use the dog park - but sadly he was sinking in the snow. The cabin came pretty fully stocked in the kitchen - which was helpful for the meals we were planning. The bathroom/shower was great and had plenty of hot water. Fire wood was abundant for the fireplace within the cabin. And the lake was great to see all snow covered. I hope I get the chance to enjoy this part of the Northwoods in the summer!

Black's Cliff Resort is by far the gem amongst the many other good options. I have to give the credit to my girlfriend who found the place, and also the time of year, first week of June, it was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed in the Birchwood cabin, right next door to the resort keepers place, home to the resort dog a regal golden retriever who seems to be doing very well in his professional role. The cabin was amazing, with a fireplace inside, stocked with local firewood, and a backyard fire pit. A breezeway overlooking the lake with a bed hanging from the ceiling was the perfect spot for a Sunday afternoon snooze after the drive up from Chicago. Later in the evening, after dinner, I noticed the light fading and wandered down the stairs to one of the most thrilling sunsets I have witnessed. And I was the solo witness because not a soul was stirring on that lake in early June, and evening chill negated my girlfriends interest in the natural beauty. That night, on the soft bed, I had the best night's sleep in at least a year.
