Probably a foot or two, of snow or more, of where I'm thinking.
Anyone bought a lot or bit of land near or on where you want to spend some time each year, not a RV Park or such and no crowded stuff?
I'm still thinking of a couple acres north of Superior, on the water, if I can rob a bank.
Put in a concrete or other pad, well, and pump and septic.Put the well pump and cap inside a small building, along with other things.
A connection, for the generator, in the Motor home, for the pump. When we go up for the year, Park hook up sewer and water. Pull the switch when needed to fill tank and tank on Mh.
And....then fish until I have to come in, for water or something, go antiquing.
Maybe make the pad and drive big enough for two, less mowing.
Generous patio and so on.
And in off season Santa can use it as rest stop on his way south. 🙂

land is not cheap even way up North in the U P. The rules and regulations are also pretty stiff. Then you have the " waters of the US " regulations. I don't even claim to know anything about that cluster. I have a place about 40 minutes North of the bridge in the middle of the Hiawatha Forest. You can't drill a well without the feds and the state watching over the whole drilling operation. and now if you have electricity on your property and you want to put in a well you are required to put in a drain field. It would cost more to do all of that than what the cabin is worth.

Check on the code for that area. The rules for waterfront property are very different than every place else. I have a cottage on Lake Michigan. My rules are different than the cottages inland.

We've thought about it a few times. Probably the biggest challenge is 1 the price of land anywhere that utilities are available OR 2 the price to bring utilities way out to the boonies.

I guess I'm much more transient. I do believe if you search around there will be a lot of people that would not mind "hosting you" in farm settings that have some RV experience.

I do like your idea as I'm sort of an isolationist when I go in my RV and sites these days seem really close together.

When we took a trip around the lakes a few years ago, I kept wondering why there were not more people living in that beautiful area above Superior. This was in late July. My question was answered as soon as I noticed someone's woodpile. It was as big as their large house!!
