1920's Baby Face Nelson's Luxury Glamping Tent - Premium Resort Amenities Incl!

Stay in Baby Face Nelson's Luxury Tent # 14 - a replica of the A-frame tents used in the roaring 20's and 30's – and perhaps right here at the resort. It is purported the island right off POV’s shore was owned by Al Capone’s doctor, and goons with tommy guns used to patrol its outer shores. Gangsters frequented these parts to hide out and to smuggle booze to major metros in the Prohibition era. It is a perfect getaway for wannabe gangsters on the lam and is one of the most secluded glamping site of the campgrounds. It is one of our largest campsites – the tent sleeps 4 comfortably and there is space for a 2-person BYO sidecar tent (sleeping 6 total on the campsite).

Decked out with historic photos and memorabilia of Baby Face’s time in the Northwoods in the Prohibition era, it is surrounded by the woods. Watch the trees or stars from the covered porch with the firepit aglow. With glamping all the craze, this tent affords for the luxury of real furniture without the prices. Guests get much more than just another shelter in nature; these tent will help you create lifelong memories and a sense of romance and adventure. Its fluid lines and natural light creates a feeling of spaciousness, warmth and relaxation.

This luxury tent is outfitted with a queen bed, a full-sized futon, and a kitchen table. Outdoors is home to a charcoal grill, tiki torches, a picnic table, a hammock, and a firepit. There is also a common gas grill station for guests' use (located between campsites 8 and 9). POV has wood swings and hammocks throughout the resort as well. Now included with your rental rate, POV Resort provides Power Stations for each luxury tent – these provide basic electricity for charging phones, laptops, fans, COPD machines, and other low-powered appliances, etc. Ground cover is mulch – no more tracking mud! There is parking for one vehicle with overflow parking available at the bathhouse.

A space heater is also provided (heaters provided in units – bring your own 1 lb propane canisters or buy them in our store – 1 canister should get you through overnight).

PETS: No pets allowed.

Weekend trial run
The property was very nice and well-maintained. We are renting a unit next July and wanted to check it out this weekend. We stayed in one of the retro campers and it was a really neat experience. Bathroom facilities are all clean and the game room and store Facilities were really nice. The owners were on site and were very accommodating and other staff was very pleasant and helpful. We appreciate all that they did for us.

When searching for a weekend get-away, POV Resort popped up. We are so glad it did. Our daughter wanted to tent camp but mom and dad wanted a bed. This was the perfect compromise. Cozy, rustic property yet has all the necessities. We rented one of the pontoon boats too and got to explore the beautiful lake. All staff interactions were friendly and pleasant. Great place.

Camping for youngsters
We were looking for a quieter setting off the road more. You can hear a lot of traffic noise. The quiet hours are adhered to and the accommodations are adequate. The beach and lake were disappointing to use a well. We were expecting a quieter lake for kayaking and relaxing. There are quite a fee power boats and it doesn't have no wake zones. Shower and restrooms were clean and stocked daily. A lot of young kids and families which we were beyond so it was not the resort for us. They tent was super cool and well stocked for clamping. Wasn't our scene for being one with nature.

perfect for our little family!
it was our first time camping with our toddler so we were pretty nervous. we booked a luxury tent to ease into it vs throwing him into our usual camp style of cramming into a 2 person tent! our stay was perfect! they had the option to rent a heater & a power bank. that was a game changer! we were able to keep our toddler warm & have a sound machine. we all slept great! the bathroom set up was perfect & they were extremely covid conscious which i was really appreciative of. we will definitely be back!

This camping experience was phenomenal! The tent was spacious, clean and very comfortable! The bed was fantastic and so was the futon. So many great amenities and the owners were great to work with as well! I have already recommended this resort to others!
