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.

National forest 78mi from Winter · 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!

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 unused since 2015 and it makes a nice hiking path along the river for many miles to the north into the national forest.
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.
There is no leash required for good pups. If your pup is aggressive with other dogs or people please leash them when on the hiking trails. If your pups would stay in your campsite no leash is required. Other campers may be hiking past your campsite on the trails that is still over 100 feet away from others campsites. You may run into others on the trails where others dogs may not be leashed. If your dog is aggressive to other dogs even if yours is on leash if you can’t control them please muzzle them.
This property is for sale if you may be interested. Please ask and I’ll send you the details.

This was my father's favorite place to be in the summer. He loved watching the hummingbirds early in the season and the leaf turn in the fall. We hope you and your guests will enjoy staying here as much as our family has.
Five acre private lakefront property surrounded by trees. Cement pad for your RV or trailer. 50-amp and full hookups. Bring your own converter if less than 30 amps. Large fire pit (supply your own firewood). Recently refurbished private dock. Four-wheel trails and rental companies nearby. Short drive from the Namekagon River which is great for tubing, kayaking, canoeing, and swimming.
Due to a recent review, I am also adding here that swimming from our property is not ideal. The lake tends to be weedy during warm summers. There are places to swim nearby, so if you are booking with the sole intent of being able to swim, please be aware that this is likely not the best site for you unless you are willing to drive to a nearby beach.

Escape to the wilderness! This private 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.
Note: When you rent our property you get the whole thing. We are not a campground. This is a private 3-acre parcel on the Chippewa River. You will not be sharing the site or facilities with anyone else.
There’s plenty of space to set up your camper or tent on the gravel pad, 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 (10'x12' each) and breathtaking views of the flowing river. Note: the river camping area is approximately 150 yards down a walking path.
The flat and level gravel RV/parking 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. The gravel pad is about 60 feet in diameter. A full-size truck (F150) with a 20' trailer should be able to pull in and fully turn around into position on the pad.
There are multiple fishing and recreation lakes within a 30 minute drive, hundreds of miles of nearby ATV/UTV trails to explore, and many mountain bike trailheads are only about 30 miles from this location as well.

Private camping areas near the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Great Divide District
We cleared part of our private forest area in 2026 and added designated camping sites. The grounds are still a bit rough as the vegetation has not fully grown back yet, but the parking areas are solid. We also have horse pens available if you are traveling with horses and need a place to rest overnight.
We are currently a primitive campground. There are no hookups, no electricity, no water, and no toilets available. You will need to be fully self-contained during your stay. Cell service is limited (we use AT&T, so other providers may work better), but it is not completely unavailable. Cell boosters should work well here.
The gravel road leading to our property is in good condition in most areas; however, it is still a gravel road and, in some sections, a forest road with some bumpy areas. The surrounding roads are also used as ATV and snowmobile trails.
We do not allow ATVs, UTVs, or snowmobiles on our private trails. For those activities, you will need to access the trails within the National Forest. We are located near the Dead Horse Run Trail. Some of our private trails are open for campers to hike and explore.
Two of our camper sites are 60 feet long, and one is 45 feet long. These three sites are back-in only. We also have one pull-off site that is 35 feet long. Tent campers are welcome to use any of the available spaces as well.
Due to our driveway layout and the curve required to access the campground, we do not accept Class A motorhomes or large rigs. Our roads and parking areas are a sand-and-rock mix and are not as hardened as they will be after the next winter season. However, we believe they work well for smaller rigs. Our camper is shown in some of the photos (not parked in a designated site), and we had no issues getting it in place.
When deciding if a site will fit your setup, please consider the total length of your entire rig, including both your camper and tow vehicle. You cannot park on the circle driveway.
Thank you!

Welcome to Happy Creek Hollow, your cozy private hideaway in the Northwoods! We’re excited to share our 30-acre slice of paradise—perfect for creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.
A small bunk cabin now sits on the property, but the site remains fully open for tent camping or travel trailers.
Tucked away yet easy to access, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers total seclusion with no neighbors in sight. You’ll have the entire 30 acres to yourself, surrounded by wild, untouched woods. There’s plenty of room to spread out with tents or park your camper/travel trailer. Spend your days relaxing around the campfire, exploring the beautiful Penokee Mountain area, and soaking in the peace of the Northwoods.
Adventure on the property:
A private trail leads about a half-mile (roughly 30-minute round-trip hike) to Happy Creek Flowage, a peaceful 10-acre lake. The trail is hilly and rugged—true Northwoods terrain—but well worth it. A paddle boat is waiting for calm floats on the water. ATVs and side-by-sides can also use the trail for quicker access. We’re working on installing a dock, but until then, plan to wear high boots or get your feet wet reaching the boat. The lake has no public access, so it’s all yours! Local DNR folks say there may be trout in the lake—we’re looking forward to confirming that this summer.
Nearby attractions:
Little Town Coffee Truck - 4 mi: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC COFFEE, located at the Mellen Police Department Parking Lot.
Copper Falls State Park - 6.5 mi: stunning waterfalls.
Drop Tine Restaurant in Cayuga - 3.5 mi: serves up an excellent fish fry and burgers.

Long Lake - 2.6 mi
Lake Galilee - 4.3 mi
English Lake - 10 mi
Many other lakes within a 20 minute drive.
Ironwood, Michigan - 40 min drive.
Please note: Cell service is spotty (especially for AT&T), so plan accordingly.
The bunk cabin will be unoccupied during your stay, giving you full privacy on the property. If you’d like to rent the bunk cabin in addition to the campsite, just reach out—I’d be happy to arrange it. Please note that the cabin has no electricity or running water and features an unfinished interior.

Absolutely gorgeous campsite!
Cayuga Falls was an incredible place to stay. Waking up to the river every morning with the steam rolling off the water, then sitting on the rocks with my coffee, made for the perfect start to each day. 🌲☕️
The campsite itself was so thoughtfully set up. He provides so many useful things, including a bear box, shovel, rake, saw, and fire pokers for roasting s’mores. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making the campsite comfortable and functional. I also really loved the layout of the site it felt incredibly private and tucked away in the woods.
The only downside is the walk in. When he says it’s a hike, believe him—it’s a hike! 😂 You’ll definitely be traversing rocks, stumps, and tree roots, and it’s more of a scramble to get to the site than a casual walk. Pack light! That said, the trek in absolutely did not deter us, and we would happily do it again.
The area was gorgeous, the campsite was incredibly well thought out, and being so close to Copper Falls State Park was a huge bonus. We absolutely plan to come back in the future!

Really cool spot. It's a great step between car camping and backpacking.
Don't underestimate the hike! -- it's not long but the terrain is difficult. Dean is right when he says to be limited with your gear -- we had a lot and knew it would be a lot of work, and it certainly was!
Our crew consisted of 2 adults and 4 kids and had one 8-person tent. There isn't a ton of space for large tents, so keep that in mind. We were just able to get ours set up.
Highly recommend the Cayuga Falls campsite. It's got everything -- great river access, fishing, swimming, a couple small falls, and lots of frogs (my boys LOVED this). Dean provides a canoe at each site which is AMAZING -- we felt comfortable sending our kids out on their own since it's only about 100-150 yards of river that they can paddle between the two small falls (any they can't go down the falls!) So it's like a small, secluded area to paddle.
Very unique and grateful for the experience!
