IT'S 1953 AND AMERICA JUST DISCOVERED THE OPEN ROAD.
In the 1950s, everything changed. For the first time, most American workers had paid vacation time — and they used it. The Interstate Highway System was under construction, the travel trailer industry was booming, and heading to a Wisconsin lake for a week became the great American summer ritual.
This 1953 Pathfinder is a genuine artifact of that era, curated as part of POV Resort's LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM OF CAMPING — THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN AMERICA. You're not just booking a vintage camper. You're inhabiting a decade.
THE SPACE
Inside you'll find period-authentic 1950s décor, a queen bed, and a full futon — sleeping up to 4 guests comfortably. A food prep area is included for snacks and cooler meals (no appliances or running water inside). Basic electricity powers lights, phone chargers, fans, CPAP machines, and other low-draw devices.
OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR
Private firepit, charcoal grill, hammock, picnic table, and Edison string lights. A shared gas grill station with provided tanks is available in the campground. A propane space heater is provided — bring or purchase 1 lb canisters in our self-serve store (one gets you through the night).
BATHHOUSE
Our new air-conditioned restroom trailer has four private bathrooms with sinks, hot showers, and toilets. Deep cleaned twice daily. Water station on the exterior.
EVERY RESORT AMENITY INCLUDED IN YOUR RATE
One price = everything. No surprise fees. Guests have full use of our sandy beach with easy lake access, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, hiking trails, game room, general store, and stargazing. Boat rentals and romance packages available.
PARKING
One vehicle at your site; overflow at the bathhouse.
NO PETS. NO HOOKUPS.

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...
