If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat in the north woods for yourself, or to share some wonderful relaxing times with your close friends and family, Camp Okee Dokee is the place for you.

In addition to enjoying the amenities on this 40 acre property, there's lots of things to do and see in the area year round. Pick your favorite season... We hope you’ll try them all!
Use the home as your base camp for a wide variety of recreational activities and scenic north woods area day trips, or just kick back, relax and enjoy the quiet, calming sounds of nature in the north woods. We have lots of resource materials at the cabin of area activities and attractions. If you like more info on these, give us a call and we can make additional suggestions, depending on your interests.
