Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, what a unique name and deservedly so as the forest itself is as diverse and attention getting as it’s namesake! The deep northwoods of Wisconsin offers a ton of hiking, biking, and camping to get stoked about; there’s 800 miles of hiking trails alone. But if you’re looking for a truly unique outdoor experience, try offroading or cross country skiing old military roads in the winter. There’s stunning Lake Superior views from St. Peter’s Dome and 70 foot Morgan Falls is sure to cool you off on a hot summer day. We dig the Quartz Trail where you can see giant quartz deposits discovered by the Native Americans who used to inhabit the area. There’s plenty of camping options to make this a wilderness weekend (or more) and with over 1.5 million acres to explore, we doubt you’ll be running out of rad things to discover!

The campsite has an absolutely beautiful view. It’s rare to find a completely private spot with no other campsites. The location was easy to find and close to a small town and not far from a larger city.
I will be back again!

We had such a wonderful time at Riverside Roost! The campsite right along the river is stunning and the fresh eggs, bread, & jam were delicious. If you are a big critter fan this is the spot for you! Lots of frogs, fish, turtles, crawdads, bugs, etc. as well as the chickens that wander around! Paddling along the water is a treat and the dam, albeit a little noisy, brought a nice cool air to the site. The campsite itself is nestled into the property and I think it’s a great site, though if you want more options for walking trails/exploring I’d utilize the plenty of parks and public sites in the area as well. We can’t wait to come back!

This is such a beautiful, serene spot overlooking the river with plenty of room for our dog to run off his energy! Susan was quick to get back to me with answers to my questions and was warm & friendly with replies.. She has a wonderful garden that she allowed us to pick vegetables and herbs from and she wouldn’t let us pay for them, which was so generous! This was our second time here; we’ll be back next year! Thanks so much Susan!

Relaxing and pretty secluded. This was the 2nd time returning and I decided to stay sun-fri. We saw, maybe 2 other people there. Still very very low to no light pollution to do stargazing weather permitting of course. Kelli reached out more than a few times to make sure we were doing ok and if we needed anything and to make sure to let her know if we did. Great hosts. We definitely be back next year.

Kelli did such an awesome job hosting us! It was an amazing place to camp and we will definitely be back! I highly recommend the Amish bread and home grown eggs! Huge fire pit and the dam provided the best atmosphere ever. The stargazing at night was just the cherry on top!

This was a pleasant surprise. Nice and remote location on a small hill with horses close by. You may hear dogs barking from afar but not disturbing. Fire pit also there.

We had a fantastic camping experience. Kelli has put a lot of work & thoughtfulness into the site. Do yourself a favor and order her homemade bread! It was still warm when we arrived. We recommend opting for the full wheelbarrow of wood! It’s pleasant to sit around the campfire and listen to the dam sounds, pared with watching the birds dive into the water for fish. The river was pleasant to kayak down even in 50/60° weather. Coming back up to the launch site was a great work out!

What a GREAT camp site. Next to a water fall and gentle river. It was like a noise machine which both of my kiddos need. We had friends and put all the kids down at 7, then sat at the fire for an extended meaningful conversation time. Kelli was AWESOME, and very communicative.
Thanks for caring for us!

If you're looking to truly unplug and reconnect with nature, this off-the-grid campsite is the perfect escape. Nestled along the stunning Chippewa River, the views are nothing short of breathtaking. Waking up to the views of the river and the peaceful rustle of the grasses and trees was pure serenity.
At night, the sky comes alive . . . on a clear night it's like sleeping beneath a galaxy. Literally, this spot is awesome. It was one of the most peaceful and grounding experiences I've had in a long time.
Susan, the host, made everything even better. She was so incredibly kind and thoughtful—welcoming, helpful, and genuinely caring about our comfort and experience. It's rare to meet someone who so clearly loves sharing her little slice of paradise. This place is something special. I’ll definitely be back. Highly, highly recommend for anyone needing a true nature retreat.

This campsite was magical! Our party of 8, including 4 kids, enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and sitting around the fire. Kelli is a phenomenal host; very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. We took advantage of the opportunity to purchase homemade bread and jam and it was amazing. The mosquitos were biting but so were the northern! Bring bug spray and fishing poles and you’ll be set. We will definitely camp here again.

Loved the setting. If you love fishing right next to your tent. This is the place. The dam area holds a lot of different fish species. Very to no light pollution. If the sky's clear, the stary sky is amazing. The dam can be a little loud but if you like that kinda white noise to sleep. Won't be a problem. Highly recommended. The hosts were amazing and never felt unwanted or rushed. Will definitely be back.

River to Ridge Farmstead was our first experience with Hipcamp and I have to say the bar has now been set really high! We loved it! The hilltop campsite was private and spacious with the most spectacular views. Ideal for my husband and I and our dog. It was a bird watchers paradise with so many interesting birds beyond the usual. We even heard a barred owl at night. There’s a lot to do in the area with both Brunet Island State Park and Wissota Lake State Park a short distance away. We had the best ice cream at Dylan’s Dairy in Cornell and enjoyed an afternoon in Chippewa Falls. It was so nice to explore the area during the day and relax at the campsite in the evening. The site was perfect for our 1708fb Minnie Winnie. We set up camp at the very top of the hill and experienced a cool breeze at night. We enjoyed a campfire in the evening and early morning coffee with the sunrise. We loved our stay at River to Ridge Farmstead. Everything was as described. We will definitely be back!

The best camping near Abbotsford with fishing guide
When to go
The Fraser Valley is a year-round destination with mild-but-wet weather from November to February. Higher alpine regions may get snow (with the closest skiing to Abbotsford being across the border on the slopes of Mount Baker), but summer is peak season for camping, especially at lakes, and valley temperatures can be many degrees hotter than at the coast and mountains.
Know before you go
- Most provincial parks take site reservations in advance (recommended throughout the high season of summer) and give an early priority booking window to BC residents.
- The Trans-Canada Highway, which runs through Abbotsford and neighbouring municipalities, is the main thoroughfare to points east and west and can become very congested during rush hours on weekdays and holiday weekends.
- Travelling across the border to the United States can also be very busy during weekends and holidays, requires a valid passport, and is subject to closures (you may need to return via a different crossing than anticipated).
