OPENING SUMMER 2026
A women-centered campsite designed for ease, connection, and time well spent outdoors.
What is Camp Materfield?
A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAMPING
Camp Materfield offers a rare middle ground: the freedom of camping with the comfort and fun of community.
Set in a wooded river valley in rural western Wisconsin — just 1.5 hours from the Twin Cities — Materfield is designed for women who want to be outdoors without isolation, overwhelm, or time-consuming logistics. Materfield is an easy and welcoming way to get away, even just for a day.
Come with friends.
Come on your own.
Become a camp counselor and host a group.
The Setting
Materfield Camp sits in a tree-lined valley surrounded by working farms and rolling hills.
The land offers:
a spring-fed river, cool, refreshing, and stocked with trout
wooded paths and open clearings
abundant wildlife — eagles overhead, deer at dusk, foxes, birds, beavers, and pollinators
lush summer greens and spectacular fall color
This is off-grid camping:
• no electricity
• no Wi-Fi
• limited cell service
A natural reset — without being remote or hard to reach.
The Campsites
The camp includes eight thoughtfully-placed, easily-accessible wooded campsites, intentionally limited to preserve a calm, uncrowded feel.
Campsites offer:
privacy without isolation
proximity to shared spaces
a sense of ease and safety that comes from camping among other women
Camping options include:
bringing your own tent
renting a tent
arriving to a tent already set up for you
This flexibility makes Materfield welcoming for both experienced campers and those returning to camping — or trying it for the first time.
Designed to Make Camping Easy
Camp Materfield dissolves the most common barriers faced when camping — gear, food, and preparation — without removing the joy of doing it yourself.

The Experiences
SAVOR A DAY AT MATERFIELD
Mornings begin with bird song and watching the sun rise above the hills. Fire-brewed coffee and a stroll along the nature path, pausing to take pictures of the flowers and inspect fresh tracks in the earth. Maybe a stretch in the clearing as the river ripples over the rocks. A brunch kit cooked by camp stove, and a good book read while swaying in the hammock, eagles looping overhead. In the heat of the day, walking to one end of the property and floating in the crisp, clear water all the way to the other end. The windy banks lined with flowers and beaver dams. Anchoring on the beach, soaking up the sun. Evening gathers us around the campfire, Grilling girl dinners and sometimes spilling the beans. Then snuggled in a sleeping bag, fresh air brings sound sleep.
For those who wish to explore, Materfield is close to small western Wisconsin towns known for:
cafés and bakeries
cheesemakers, meat producers, and bread makers
seasonal markets and local shops
scenic tours and state trails
You can venture out — or stay in camp for your entire visit.
