Weekend Trip to Justin Trails Resort

Well loved the site! Easy check in, Donna was really friendly, very easy to get to. Tent pad was mostly flat, nice big fire pit, picnic table was nice, outhouse was nice and clean, lots of space to walk! The barn bathrooms were really nice as well. Was a really good spot for the price!

Weekend Trip to Maggies Merry Mirror

Helpful, friendly, & accommodating. Dennis went out of his way to get us firewood. Plenty of firewood, privacy, and nearby access to ice age trial would be reasons I’d return.

Weekend Trip to Maggies Merry Mirror

My family really enjoyed our stay. Dennis made sure we had everything we needed. He even warned us about excessive mosquitos ahead of our trip, so we were prepared. We stayed in site #1, which the host graciously moved us too in order to best meet our group's needs. The site was spacious, shaded, had a nice view of the river and felt private even though there are a couple of community use trails nearby. Firewood was provided and our dogs were allowed to play in the woods and river off-leash. Finding this place was a gem for us. Again, customer service was top-notch. We loved it!

Weekend Trip to Justin Trails Resort

Beautiful weekend camping! Tons of space to walk around and the frisbee golf was a great perk. Will hopefully get back!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Springs Farm

We enjoyed an amazing Memorial Day Weekend at Coyote Springs Farm. The accommodations were outstanding. So lovely to have an expansive and elevated tent looking over the creek and across the hills. Everything we needed was provided from the warm bedding to the fresh, cold spring fed water to the firewood for creating memories with our kids. There is so much to do in the area that we only scratched the surface. Hiking, a cave tour, and boutique shopping were all highlights. However, if you find a spot in his calendar, the activity that absolutely won our hearts was a sunset and wildlife cruise with our host, Seth. Our teenage twins couldn’t stop talking about how fun it was and how amazing Seth was as a guide. The parents absolutely agreed! Book this site, book a river trip with Seth, and experience the best of Wisconsin!

Weekend Trip to Maggies Merry Mirror

Very private very dog friendly Host very friendly and knows the area. Do not miss the Ice Age Museum

Weekend Trip to Maggies Merry Mirror

I definitely recommend this place and site #1 it's our 3rd time coming and never fails to disappoint! Hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming and over the top with keeping guests happy! I love that we don't have to pay for the fire wood there is plenty and plenty to go around! I also love that they keep extra fire wood under a tarp incase of rain so it stays dry. In the past we've used this tar to hang up when it was pouring rain out all day ...came in handy! It was very buggy that time and Dennis was sure to spray our site to decrease the flies and skeets. I do not mind the beautiful little 3 minute walk down to the river side camp site and our dogs get to be free and enjoy the trails and river as they want. I spent this third time here for my birthday with friends and Dennis and Kathleen are extremely accommodating for our friends as well! Such a beautiful property and I absolutely love coming here! Clean site and well furnished with seating and tables along with a steel grill topper for the camp fire to cook on. I will continue to come back here for future camp get away adventures! 1000% recommend!!! I've been to about 10 hipcamp sites and this is my FAVE!!!!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Springs Farm

This site was perfect! The hosts have added some thoughtful touches like olive oil and coffee with a French press. Would highly recommend! They had everything you could possibly need. We will be back!

3 nights at Dell Pines Campground

We stayed at site 051. What a beautiful spot under the pines! We were a short walk from the bathhouse and trails on site. Also it is a 10 minute bike ride to Mirror Lake State Park. Check out the Echo Rock there. Very cool! Smelled of pine all around property. Very quiet there at this time before memorial weekend. The staff were friendly and responsive. Cool bucket golf course on property that I want to try when we visit again. They have a nice store with cool merch. Nice sandy area with minimal debris at the campsite made it nice to walk around barefoot. Only downside would be it is not starlink friendly at all sites. So if that’s a must for you, make sure to book a site that’s it in the pine grove. Thank you for a great stay! We intend to come back and share with friends/family!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Springs Farm

The views and the land exceeded our expectations. Seth is just down the path if you need anything. It's a great place to get away, but still have everything you need.

Weekend Trip to Maggies Merry Mirror

A gorgeous place! We had site 2 booked but switched to site 1. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. Our dogs loved the place and were able to comfortably explore off-leash the whole time. We were treated to a nighttime chorus of barred owls calling in every direction, and woke up facing a gorgeous sunrise over the river and the sounds of wild turkeys, sandhill cranes, pine warblers, and northern flickers. A hidden gem for birders. Would love to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Maggies Merry Mirror

Dennis was an awesome host with a beautiful property. He covered our firewood (that he provided) before we got there because of the rain, just a stand up guy. We stayed at campsite 5 and definitely recommend for a bigger group, had an absolute blast here and we plan on being back!

2 nights at Maggies Merry Mirror

One of the best hosts I’ve camped with the sites are perfectly isolated, but comfortable with multiple trails in the area. Truly a great experience and one of the best price points I’ve seen rental wise

Bad River Wilderness

4 sites · RVs, Tents41 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.

Cricket Ranch

5 sites · Tents53 acres · Cascade, WI

We are honored to again be named one of the Best Hipcamps in Wisconsin for 2024. Thank you to our guests for your wonderful reviews and helpful suggestions! And a special thank you to one of our guests, Brandon "Da Garbage Disposal" Clark, for featuring Cricket Ranch in his YouTube series "Outdoors Unsupervised: Survival Season 6". Learn more about this land: Cricket Ranch is a crazy combo of Nature's past, present, and future. The property was a farm with 75% of it corn fields until 30 years ago. It has been virtually untouched since then and in just a few decades it has reinvented itself as a forest. Chambers Creek runs thru the west side of the property. As a headwater of the Milwaukee River, it is part of the Great Lakes Basin and a source for Lake Michigan. Wisconsin has identified Chambers Creek as an Exceptional Resource Water (ERWs), Less than 10% of Wisconsin waterways carry this designation. What we do (or don't do) now affects the Great Lakes later. And you'll find fossils in the rock walls of some of the earliest examples of complex life on Earth (from 460 mya, Ordovician, Cambrian). No digging required. Seriously. How they got there is a very long story in the making and involves ancient inland seas, plate tectonics, glaciers, German immigrants, and 19th-20th century farming. Off the Beaten Path @ Cricket Ranch provides a true back to nature environment for campers, sometimes called "backcountry camping". Located on 50 acres of private forest, field, and valley, our campsites are very secluded and separated by acres of woodland. Each layout is unique, embracing what nature has provided. Backpacking (or wagoning) to your camp from the parking area is necessary as the 5' wide paths do not accommodate cars/trucks. Hiking distance from parking area: (1) Camp Cricket is 600 Ft. (2) Haen Hollow is 250 ft. (3) Rocky Top is 700 ft. (4) Grapeline is 1000 ft. Feel fee to explore the land! We are located near the Niagara Escarpment so, as previously mentioned, you might even find a 460 million year old fossil on one of the field rock walls. Keep it! So we can keep a count of how many are found, and out of an overabundance of curiosity, please let us know and send some pics of your find. Chambers Creek provides a spot to cool your feet, stone step, or just listen to the relaxing sound of a babbling brook. The creek is overgrown with brush so access is limited but we do have a trail that follows the creek for about 300 yds. We intend to clear some more of the underbrush in the near future to allow for better enjoyment and management of this invaluable natural resource. Near by: Kettle Moraine National Forest is a 10 minute drive, boasting great hiking and the can't-miss-it view from atop Parnell Tower. Lake Ellen has a nice no-fee public boat landing just 2 miles away. The lake has clear water and is stocked periodically with Pike and Walleye. It is surprising how un-busy this lake is so bring your boat, kayak, paddle board, and/or assorted flotation devices and check it out. Our parking area can accommodate boat trailers during your stay.

Dog-friendly camping in Wisconsin guide

Overview

Who needs the badgers when you have a dog? Wisconsin football's trademark animal may not be a household pet, but you can take your own furry friend all over the state. At a pet-friendly campsite, you and your dog can share everything from Great Lakes beaches to state park trails. For inspiration, look no further than Point Beach State Forest, where you can rent a cabin, tent, or RV site. Choose between summer swimming breaks in Lake Michigan; crisp, autumn strolls along sand dunes; and cross-country ski days over groomed trails. For a less active getaway, stay close to Milkwaukee. It's easy to plan a weekend in Devil's Lake State Park. The park not only allows pets but also has a designated dog-friendly beach. Nothing makes memories quite like a camping trip with your best friend, though campgrounds can also accommodate your partner, family, or human friends. The more the merrier.
