The wait is over. Cabins at WinMan BaseCamp are officially open for reservations. 🙌

You've been asking us when you'd finally be able to book one, and we're pretty excited to say: today is the day.

🏕️ 3 Tiny Cabins are now available to book
🌲 2 Premium Cabins open for stays beginning in October
❄️ A handful of Rustic Campsites are available all winter
☀️ Summer 2027 reservations are now open

Whether you're planning a fall color weekend, a cozy winter trail trip or already dreaming about next summer, you can officially make BaseCamp your home base.

Stay trailside. Ride, ski, hike and explore right from your door. Then come back to a hot shower, warm sauna and a place to settle in before doing it all again tomorrow.

If you've had a WinMan trip in mind, now's a pretty good time to get it on the calendar.

Safety just got a boost at BaseCamp. 🚨

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the 545 Foundation, a new AED (automated external defibrillator) has been installed right in the hallway of Pops Lodge — giving guests and staff access to life-saving technology, right when it matters most.

Made possible through funds raised at the annual Jeremy Petrie Memorial Snowmobile Poker Run and a generous gift from Jeremy's wife and children in his memory, this AED comes through a partnership between the 545 Foundation, Northwoods EMS District, and the Town of Manitowish Waters . We're so grateful for their generosity and for a community that shows up for each other in ways big and small.

And as a reminder, WinMan also has an AED available at the main trailhead in the Chalet building. Knowing where these resources are can make all the difference in an emergency.

Thank you, 545 Foundation, for helping us make BaseCamp an even safer place for everyone who visits. ❤️

Our first big group weekend at BaseCamp is officially in the books: Dirt Camp 2026, hosted by The Nxrth. 🚵‍♀️🔥 The Nxrth

A full campground, packed with mountain bikers coming together for a weekend of outdoor adventure. The Nxrth put together a dialed-initinerary featuring rides for every skill level, trail collector challenges, catered group meals, and the kind of energy that makes you want to sign up for next year before the weekend is even over.

They put together a full recap with photos from the weekend on their website — go check it out, see what a family-friendly trail weekend at BaseCamp looks like in action, and save a spot for Dirt Camp 2027 while you're at it.

Huge thanks to The Nxrth for partnering with us for yourevent. This is exactly what we built BaseCamp for.

If you're already dreaming up your own group weekend on the trails (a club ride, a clinic, a team retreat, etc.), now's the time to start talking dates. 2027 will fill up before we know it. Call Sam at 715-515-2126 and let's plan an amazing adventure.

Cabin rentals are just around the corner and as you can see, our crew is putting the final touches on some landscaping.

Turns out years of building rock gardens out on the trail translates perfectly here, where this part of the property is FULL of rocks. Our crew is putting as much of it to good use as possible.

And they never cease to amaze us with their attention to detail. A rock swale for water mitigation turned into a wildflower focal point. Stone seating around the fire pit got a tall, moss-covered rock backrest, because why not. Rockscaping meant to catch runoff around the building is sized just right for kids to leapfrog across. Oh, and what if that retaining wall had steps built right into it?

It's the generous, year-round support from all of you that lets us employ a crew this talented — one that brings this level of care to every little detail that makes up the WinMan experience.

Thank you. ❤️

You show up for a full day on the trail. But your derailleur has other plans.

No problem. Coontail is right there — BoulderJunction and Arbor Vitae — with rentals, repairs, and everything else you need to actually ride. They'll get you back on the trail or put you on a different bike entirely.

Proud to have them as a WinMan sponsor. They close a gap that would otherwise keep people off the trail entirely.

We are so excited to give you a first look at the newest trail here at BaseCamp!

Starting at Pop's Lodge (which looks gorgeous by the way as the landscaping matures and the wildflowers have bloomed) this new gravel trail is made of durable crushed granite and has been compacted to provide a smooth riding surface. We'll have a large kiosk and more signage and information coming soon.

It winds between the tent sites and at the end the trail turns into a traditional mountain bike trail that will bring riders into both Happy Camper to access the Papoose Hub, as well as Gene Connector to access the Rear Hub.

We've built in some true mountain bike features right on the path, including a couple of berms, a wooden roller, and a skinny. It's the perfect spot for kids to circle and practice their skills!

We're working hard on these new trails and hope to have them ready in time for Labor Day Weekend. Stay tuned to your emails for more information and the official opening day of those trails.

For now, book your stay at BaseCamp and enjoy this newest trail.

Every review tells us a little more about what makes WinMan special.

We're incredibly grateful for everyone who takes a few minutes to share their experience. Your kind words not only mean a lot to our team and volunteers—they also help future visitors discover everything WinMan has to offer.

If you've visited WinMan Trails or stayed at BaseCamp, we'd love to hear your story too. Your review helps support our mission and inspires the next family, rider, or camper to head north and make memories of their own.

See you in the woods. 🌲
