Bad River Wilderness

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents60 acres ¡ Mellen, WI
Update: This property was just awarded 2nd place for 2024 as the 2nd best Hipcamp in Wisconsin out of 252 Hipcamp's based on reviews and ratings! Thank you to all who have enjoyed this amazing property and provided a review or rating!!! On the upper Bad River, I have a special location that I'd like to share for others to enjoy. I was fortunate to acquire this land 20 years ago and now that I have retired from the United States Air Force, I can dedicate time to create peaceful campsites along the river. This land was originally railroad property as the railroad companies bought much land in the late 1800's to have options to place their railroads. There is still a railroad track nearby but it has been abandoned since 2015 and it makes a nice hiking path along the river for many miles to the north. There are 3 waterfalls nearby and I will have many signs leading to the waterfalls. There are 4 total campsites on the property, 1 site you can drive to (Eagle Pines), and 3 tent sites that require 1/8 mile hike to 2 sites, and a 1/4 mile hike to the other hike-in site.

Overview

About

With miles and miles of breathtaking shoreline, Turtle-Flambeau Scenic Waters Area is one seriously unbelievable spot in northern Wisconsin… when you get there you’ll be wondering why you haven’t heard more about it before. But let's keep just how awesome this park is to ourselves, shall we? The entire Turtle-Flambeau area is super picturesque, largely since it’s actively being preserved, meaning you’ll find some authentic nature experiences in this corner of the US of A. Especially if you’re interested in viewing wildlife in their natural habitats, Turtle-Flambeau is home to bald eagles, deer, bears, moose, and dozens of species of birds. If you’re seeking a bit of an escape from day-to-day life, this chill spot in Wisconsin is a great place to catch some good ol’ fashioned peace and quiet, too.
