#2 – 1930s Hawaiian Luxury Tent (Yurt-Style)

#image_title #separator_sa #attachment_caption

1930s Hawaiian Luxury Tent #2 (Yurt-Style)

No passport required. In the depths of the Depression, Americans couldn’t travel far — so they brought Hawaii to themselves. This 16-foot round yurt-style luxury tent captures the tiki craze that swept the mainland in the 1930s, tucked among the tall pines of the Wisconsin Northwoods. Aloha from North Twin Lake. Sleeps 6.

Details

Unit Description

In the 1930s, Americans dreamed big from wherever they stood. Hawaii was exotic, distant, and impossibly glamorous — and that’s exactly why tiki culture exploded on the mainland during the Depression. People couldn’t travel far, so they transformed their backyards, their campsites, and their imaginations. This 16-foot round yurt-style luxury tent is that dream made real, curated as part of POV Resort’s Living History Museum of Camping — America’s first. Tucked among tall trees with a view of the woods, it’s a short walk from the bathhouse and a world away from ordinary.

Inside: a queen bed, full futon, two cots with mattresses and luxury bedding & and kitchen table — sleeping up to 6. Natural light floods the circular space, and the festive tiki décor does the rest. Outside on the deck: charcoal grill, hammock, tiki torches, picnic table, and a private firepit. A shared gas grill station with provided tanks is available in the campground. A POV Power Station powers phones, laptops, fans, CPAP machines, and low-draw appliances. Mulch ground cover keeps things clean underfoot. Propane space heater provided — bring or purchase 1 lb canisters (one gets you through the night). One parking spot; overflow at the bathhouse.

NO PETS ALLOWED.

The CCC built America’s campgrounds, the Northwoods became a refuge, and the tiki bar offered a different kind of escape.

The Depression made camping a necessity. The Civilian Conservation Corps employed 300,000 young men building the campground infrastructure America still uses — fire rings, picnic tables, forest trails. State parks charged 25 cents a night. Wisconsin’s Northwoods became a refuge: lake resorts offered Chicago and Milwaukee families an affordable summer that felt like real life, suspended. This yurt captures the era’s parallel escape — the tiki bar world of Don the Beachcomber, opened in Hollywood in 1933, where Depression-weary Americans found the tropics without a passport. Two escapes for the price of one.

#10 – 1920s Capone’s Luxury Tent (A-Frame Style)

#image_title #separator_sa #attachment_caption

1920s Capone's Luxury Tent #10 (A-Frame Style)

The island just off POV’s shore was owned by Al Capone’s doctor. Goons with tommy guns patrolled its outer shores. Gangsters hid out in these lakes during Prohibition, smuggling Canadian whisky south to Chicago. This A-frame luxury tent — the most secluded site in the campground — is decked out with historic Capone photographs and memorabilia. The lam never looked this good. Sleeps 6.

Details

Unit Description

During Prohibition, the Wisconsin Northwoods were Al Capone’s backyard. The island just off POV Resort’s shore was owned by Capone’s personal physician, and it’s said that armed goons patrolled its outer shores while gangsters used these remote lakes to hide out and move Canadian whisky south to Chicago. The same lakes your kayak will cross tomorrow. This A-frame luxury tent — a replica of the canvas tents used in the 1920s and 30s, and perhaps on this very shoreline — is the most secluded glamping site at POV Resort, curated with historic photographs and Prohibition-era memorabilia as part of America’s first Living History Museum of Camping.

Private, wooded, and completely off the grid from the other campsites, it has a covered porch with a view deep into the forest — no neighbors in sight, just trees, stars, and the firepit glow. Inside: a queen bed and two full futons sleeping up to 6, plus a kitchen table. Outside: charcoal grill, hammock, tiki torches, two picnic tables, and a private firepit. Shared gas grill station with provided tanks in the campground. A POV Power Station powers phones, laptops, fans, CPAP machines, and low-draw appliances. Mulch ground cover — no mud. Propane space heater provided — bring or purchase 1 lb canisters. Parking for two vehicles; overflow at the bathhouse.

NO PETS ALLOWED.

Capone’s Tent | Dillinger’s Tent | Baby Face Nelson’s Tent

By the 1920s, the automobile transformed American camping. Families drove to unmarked clearings, fastening tents to the chassis, rolling cots out on the forest floor. Wisconsin’s Northwoods became a destination of a different kind — Chicago’s most powerful gangsters found that remote lakes and pine forests offered something money couldn’t buy in the city: invisibility. Al Capone fished these waters. The island off POV’s shore was owned by a Capone associate. John Dillinger hid just miles from here. You’re sleeping in a replica of the tents they used — in the very woods they chose to disappear into.

1920s Dillinger's Luxury Tent #12 (A-Frame Style)

John Dillinger hid out in the Wisconsin Northwoods while the FBI closed in. The same lakes. The same forests. This A-frame luxury tent is decked out with historic Dillinger photographs and Prohibition-era memorabilia — one of the most secluded sites at POV Resort. Bring your crew and your best getaway plan. Tent sleeps 4, with space for a 2-person BYO sidecar tent. Sleeps 6 total on site.

Details

Unit Description

John Dillinger knew what the gangsters knew: the Wisconsin Northwoods were the perfect place to disappear. While the FBI hunted America’s most wanted across the Midwest, Dillinger and his crew found refuge in the remote lakes and forests of Vilas County — the same lakes your kayak will cross tomorrow. This A-frame luxury tent is a replica of the canvas tents used in the 1920s and 30s, curated with historic Dillinger photographs and Prohibition-era memorabilia as part of POV Resort’s Living History Museum of Camping — America’s first. One of the most secluded sites in the campground, with a covered porch overlooking deep forest and no neighboring campsites in sight.

Inside: a queen bed, full futon, and kitchen table sleeping up to 4. The site also has room for a 2-person BYO sidecar tent — sleeping 6 total. Outside: charcoal grill, hammock, tiki torches, picnic table, and private firepit. Shared gas grill station with provided tanks in the campground.

#14 – 1940s Canadian Boundary Waters Luxury Tent

#image_title #separator_sa #attachment_caption

1940s Canadian Boundary Waters Luxury Tent #14 (A-Frame Style)

In the 1940s, ex-WWII pilots became bush pilots flying canoeists deep into the Quetico-Superior wilderness. The Boundary Waters called to a generation hungry for adventure after the war. This luxury tent brings that deep-forest spirit to the Wisconsin Northwoods — historic tourism posters, canoe country décor, and a stunning view of the pines. No floatplane required. Sleeps 4.

Details

Unit Description

When World War II ended, the pilots who had flown missions over Europe pointed their planes north — toward the Quetico-Superior wilderness, the Boundary Waters, and the remote lakes of the Canadian border country. By the late 1940s, Ely, Minnesota was the largest freshwater seaplane base in the United States, with up to 38 flights daily carrying canoeists into the backcountry. A generation hungry for wildness after years of war found it in the deep forest. This luxury tent captures that spirit, curated with historic Boundary Waters tourism posters and canoe country décor as part of POV Resort’s Living History Museum of Camping — America’s first. Nestled in the trees with a stunning view of the Northwoods, it’s the closest thing to the Canadian wilderness without crossing a border.

Inside: a full memory foam bed with upscale linens, four cots with fluffy mattresses and luxury bedding, and a round picnic table — sleeping 4 comfortably. Outside: charcoal grill, hammock, tiki torches, picnic table, and private firepit. A POV Power Station powers phones, laptops, fans, CPAP machines, and low-draw appliances. Mulch ground cover — no mud. Propane space heater provided — bring or purchase 1 lb canisters. Parking for one vehicle; overflow at the bathhouse. Water station available at the bathhouse.

NO PETS ALLOWED.

Man sits beside a damaged wooden cart on a grassy yard with trees in the background.

Ex-WWII bush pilots, the Boundary Waters boom, and the Northwoods as America’s cathedral of paddling

In the 1940s, the deep wilderness pulled a particular camper north — past the resorts, past the last road, into the lakes and portages of the Minnesota-Ontario border. Ex-WWII pilots became bush pilots, flying canoeists into the Quetico-Superior wilderness. By the late 1940s, Ely, Minnesota was the largest freshwater seaplane base in the country — 38 flights a day into the backcountry. The Northwoods had become America’s cathedral of paddling. This tent is for the camper who needed more than a campsite — who needed water, silence, portage, and wilderness at the very edge of the map.

#15 – 1950s French Winery Tent (Includes Resort Amenities)

#image_title #separator_sa #attachment_caption

1950s French Winery Luxury Tent #15 (Includes Resort Amenities)

This 1950s French Winery Luxury Tent #15 is nestled in the forest, gives you a glamorous European camping feel, and is a great way to get away to the French countryside without the flight (sleeping 1-2 comfortably inside the tent). The tent is a calming dark inside for folks who like to sleep in. 

Details

Unit Description

After World War II, Americans discovered Europe — and Europe discovered them right back. The 1950s brought a transatlantic romance: Julia Child learned to cook in Paris, Hemingway drank wine in Burgundy, and a generation of Americans fell helplessly in love with the French countryside. This intimate luxury tent captures that postwar Francophile dream, curated with French winery décor and vintage tourism posters as part of POV Resort’s Living History Museum of Camping — America’s first. Nestled deep in the forest, dark inside for those who love to sleep in, and designed for two people who’d rather be in Provence.

Inside: a full memory foam bed with luxury bedding, an indoor picnic table, and a two-person loveseat. Outside: charcoal grill, large two-person hammock, tiki torches, picnic table, and private firepit. A POV Power Station powers phones, laptops, fans, CPAP machines, and low-draw appliances. Mulch ground cover — no mud. Propane space heater provided — bring or purchase 1 lb canisters. Parking for one vehicle; overflow at the bathhouse. Water station at the bathhouse.

NO PETS ALLOWED.

The decade Europe became the American dream — and some campers brought that aspiration to the Wisconsin Northwoods

The 1950s brought camping a new aspiration: Europe. Tourist-class airfare made France reachable for the first time, and Americans fell in love with the French countryside — wine, slow meals, afternoons with nowhere urgent to be. But most families were camping in Wisconsin, not Burgundy. What they could do was bring the spirit of it — a good bottle, a table set for two, something unhurried and beautiful. This tent is for the camper who always knew the difference between where they were and where they dreamed of being, and managed to bring both to the same Northwoods firepit.
