36mi from Jump River · 1 site · Tent, RV
This little chunk of land is a place that offers peace, solitude and an unplugging from life's hectic pace.
Our 9 acre wooded lot is a safe, secluded and woodsy retreat overlooking the beautiful Chippewa River. The shallow river is perfect for wading, tubing, paddling & fishing. The undergrowth is a carpet of ferns & native plants. Birders will love this spot. We also encourage bringing your dog friends.
We have several fire rings and encourage responsible campfire hangouts. *Please do not bring firewood. We provide dry wood & dead fall may be used for campfire, but ABSOLUTELY NO CUTTING from live trees, please.
TENT site: Tent site is pretty basic-- it fits one large tent (12'x15') pad and has a fire ring, a cooking grate and picnic table. While it does not have electricity, there is an outlet on the property to charge phones, etc.
CAMPERS/VANS: We have 30 Amp electric hookup available for small campers! Bring your pop-up, pull-behind, camper van or roof tent. Intermediate trailer-backing skills are necessary to reach the camper site.
BATHROOM: Our well maintained outhouse is a short walk from the tent site, and stays stocked with TP. It also has a solar light for night-time visits.
*We do not allow hunting, shooting or ATV riding on the property. Archery practice is Ok however.
** As we continue our A-Frame cabin build, you may see some construction clutter. We will never be working during your stay, however - you'll have the place to yourself unless otherwise agreed upon. Feel free to view the cabin from the outside but please do not enter the structure.

Enjoy evenings around the fire pit with complimentary firewood and seating provided. Cook up your camp favorites with included tools like pudgie pie makers, hot dog roasting sticks, plates, cups, and utensils. 5 gallons of fresh drinking water is provided with each stay.
Your dog is welcome here, too! We’re pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your four-legged hiking buddy—just keep them leashed and clean up after them.
The best part? Step out your tent and onto the Ice Age Trail. Whether you’re stargazing, sipping coffee under the pines, or heading out for a day of hiking, you’ll be surrounded by the quiet magic of Wisconsin’s Northwoods.
Please note: This is a true off-grid experience—there’s no electricity or running water. We encourage guests to pack in food, flashlights, and a sense of adventure.

My husband and I work and live in Africa during the school year. We have 3 young boys and wanted them to be able to have a large place to explore and play, and learn to camp and enjoy nature. We purchased this cabin in 2021 from the original owners who built the home. We fell in love with the design of the cabin and the windows which allow great views of the river and wildlife. There is an Artesian well that is 200 feet deep in the granite ledge that the cabin sits on. Artesian wells are more common in sand and very uncommon in granite. This well provides some of the best water you’ll ever taste.The cabin has total privacy with no neighbors on either side. There are a couple cabins across the river and just north of the cabin that are visible when at the river's edge.The total acreage is approximately 6.5 with 300 feet of river frontage. The cabin is set back from the river, yet maintains a view of the river. At the river’s edge there is a picnic area deck with table and chairs.The land is wooded with a mix of small pine, some large pine old growth and hardwood. There are walking paths throughout the wooded lot. There are no houses on either side of the lot. It is not uncommon to see a lot of wildlife. There are many deer, grouse, eagles that nest just up the river, and an occasional bear. The 6.5 acres that the cabin sits on abuts 1500 acres of undeveloped land.

National forest 70mi from Jump River · 351 sites
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!

Awesome spot to camp. I endured some snow, but access to the site and plenty of firewood on hand made the cold enjoyable and manageable. I'll be back in calmer weather with my dog!

Joyce was a lovely host and met us when we arrived. Her camping area was flawless and scenic. She provided very kind small touches and the environment was relaxing. We used her site as a stop over during a longer trip but would certainly recommend for a family just wanting to bond and spend a quiet weekend outside together. We have dogs and had the luxury of letting them frolic off leash because we had the place to our selves. There is a small county highway fully out of sight and you can only slightly hear vehicles.

Loved the peace and quiet and being able to have the dogs off leash. The site downstairs by the r over was very nice and the ability to have a fire in a few different spots was nice.

It was beautiful! The parking area isn’t far from the site and the cart is super handy! There is a nice trail down to the river so there was no worries on getting lost. Loved having campfires!

We enjoyed our stay on T.C’s land. It was nice & secluded in a beautiful woodsy setting. Bonus - the outhouse on site was GREAT as far as outhouses go. It was clean & stocked with TP, wipes & equipped with a solar light.
Would definitely recommend canoes to enjoy the river more!

Beautiful plot of land. Definitely a good spot if you are looking for a more secluded, immersed in nature location. The river is fantastic, not too deep to wade out into, but water shoes are really helpful to have on the slippery rocks. We saw and heard so many birds.

What an amazing spot for a secluded camping adventure! There truly aren’t many hipcamp sites like this — you get the whole place to yourself, with an outhouse, electricity, and river access. My dogs had the best time exploring the forest. I got to nerd out about native plants (this place is a treasure trove). Overall, it was a great camping site and T.C. was very responsive to questions and helpful. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something off the beaten path.
