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 quiet, secluded, woodsy retreat perched above 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. 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. CAMPERS/VANS: We have 30 Amp electric hookup available for small campers! Bring your pop-up or pull-behind. Intermediate trailer-backing skills are necessary to reach the camper site. *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 will 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.

We are renting out our gorgeous river property located on the Chippewa River in Exeland, WI!! Our 5-acre property is equipped with electricity and power pedestals for multiple RVs, lots of space for outdoor games, a campfire area surrounded by string lights, and newly-constructed steps down to the river. There is a deep swimming hole out in front of the property, great for fishing too, and a boat landing across the river for putting in kayaks and fishing boats. Right off our river bank, we have caught muskys, catfish, smallmouth bass, and northern. We have four kayaks and two paddleboards included with the rental and firewood. There is also direct ATV and UTV access from County Highway Rd D to multiple trails heading towards the Blue Hills and endless trails heading to the UP. In 2024, we added a new gravel camper parking area that can accommodate 4 campers (30-amp hookups each), as well as (2) 30-amp hookups in the grassy part of the site. First RV is included in the rental, each additional rig is $50.

3. Private Riverside RV/Tent Campsite

42mi from Jump River · 1 site · Tent, RV

Note: New pictures coming soon! These were taken during construction, which we just wrapped up at the end of September. Escape to the wilderness! This three-acre wooded site is perfect for anyone seeking a secluded camping experience. With 300 feet of frontage on the East Fork of the Chippewa River, easy access to countless lakes and rivers, and thousands of acres of the Chequamegon National Forest at your doorstep, this property won’t disappoint any outdoor enthusiast. There’s plenty of space to set up camp right beside your camper, or you can meander down the cleared path to the river’s edge, where you’ll find your own private park complete with a fire ring, picnic table, two tent platforms and breathtaking views of the flowing river. The gravel camping pad offers both 30- and 50-amp service and accommodates campers up to approximately 20 feet in length, with pull-in access (not a pull-through site). Water is available from our new well on the property. There are also hundreds of miles of nearby ATV/UTV trails to explore.

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.

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.

It is an amazing spot. Very spacious, well take cared and it had everything. Kayak, paddle board and lots of yard games. My friends and I had a blast. My dog also loved all the apace to run around and explore. Also there was a lake very close if you don’t feel like swimming on the river. 10/10 recommend it

Gorgeous well taken care of site and tons of room! The river at night was music to the ears from our tent and the site had many of the essentials you’d worry about forgetting when packing for your trip. 10/10

Weekend Trip to Chippewa River Forest

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.
