Bent's Camp Resort is a resort in Northern Wisconsin in Land o' Lakes, Wisconsin. The resort has 12 cabins and it is located on the south shore of Mamie Lake (Wisconsin).
Background
Bent's camp was established on Mamie Lake in 1893. Bent's is located at 6882 Helen Creek Rd. Land O' Lakes, WI 54540 in Vilas County, Wisconsin. In 1896 the campgrounds were established. The campgrounds allow traditional campers and the grounds also feature 12 cabins. In 1906 a restaurant was added to the grounds.
History
The area near Bent's in Vilas county was known for logging and several camps began as a result of the logging industry. As a result of logging, in 1893 Bent's camp was founded.
In 1990 Raymond M. Peterson purchased the resort with his wife Carol. The two operated the resort until they sold it to their daughter Lisa in 2003.
Each year in February the resort hosts a snowmobile event called the Radar Run. The annual event is a fundrasier for a snowmobile club.
