Staying on Michael's land is always magical. Every view looked like fairies just darted behind the flowers when they saw you looking. My friends and I have camped in site 2 both last year and this but each of us also booked several weekends between us so to show our families how amazing it is.
Pictures down to this place justice. There are so many cozy little spots. The river is beautiful. We loved using the kayaks and tubes that were provided. The host was awesome. He brought out yard games. The sights are huge! Thank you Michael for sharing your slice of heaven:). We can’t wait to come back next year.

I enjoyed it because of the quiet and the sound of the water it’s like relaxing
We loved getting to set up our tent right next to the water and the site allowed for a lot of privacy. Our dogs had the best time swimming and Michael was the best host! We would 1000% come again!

Shaded Riverside Site
Can i give a 20 star review?! Michael was a generous, kind, and informative host. The grounds were immaculate, well curated, and perfectly secluded.
We were the first to stay at site #3, which is technically a double site, with one part right on the river, the other a bit back with plenty of shade. The river was cool, refreshing, and perfect for families, with there being shallow areas but also deep for those who want to swim. A fire pit available on each site, with PLENTY of wood for a small fee. As well as large tables and even chairs, if you need them!
You're surrounded by nothing but nature/wildlife, which provided a wonderful soundtrack, day or night. At night it is pitch black, so star gazing is excellent. (Definitely bring flashlights or head lamps.)
Anything you can think of, Michael has also, and is ready to help you find it. We will DEFINITELY be back.
Thank you, Michael!!
Beautiful site and super gracious host. I had life circumstances get in the way of my trip - but I plan to book again to make up for missing out. The site is really pretty.
The photos on Hipcamp do not convey the beauty and expansiveness of this location. There are so many tuckaways and places to explore and find peace in a fern-gemmed forest, and the river wraps around the property like a hug.
Michael, the host, was eager and helpful. He had tubes and kayaks available for the river, and I want to return for the tubing!
Do public campgrounds seem generic? Cookie cutter? Lack any sort of personality? Packed liked sardines? Michael has created an oasis of eclectic hospitality that exudes pure magic! You literally camp right on the Plover River, maybe, just maybe with another site farther down river and out of site. I had the place to myself the nights I stayed and fell asleep to the gentle sound of the river rolling over rocks by the historic mill. Firewood onsite, kayaks to use, bicycles, porta potties, disc golf baskets benches everywhere to ponder ones thoughts. Perfect for tent camping and car/van camping. Simply incredible! Thank you Michael, such an amazing human and host. I'll be back!

Michael is an absolutely wonderful host. He was more than happy to help with everything from the moment we got there. It was an excellent spot with easy access into the river. The solar lights were also perfect. There were multiple places to sit (picnic tables & benches) and the area was so clean. I have never given a Port-a-potty a 10/10 before, but I will here! Everything was so easy to set up and Michael made sure we were always comfortable. Make sure to ask him for pizza recommendations!

Loved camping on Michael’s land. We had the whole place to ourselves for the weekend, which was great. We took advantage of the kayaks and took a day trip down the river, but otherwise just relaxed next to the fire pit and took in the views of the river and birds flying about. Michael made sure we were taken care of the first day but then left us alone the rest of the time, which we enjoyed being able to fully unplug and turn off our social batteries.

Beautiful location with views of the river. Host was extremely kind and welcoming. Wish the sight was a little bit bigger as I was driving a dually pickup truck.

Immaculate vibes. Michael is a great, caring host. The river chair by the small rapids was such a nice touch! I’ll def be back!
An absolute slice of heaven! Right on the water situated by small rapids so the sound will lull you to sleep. Michael was very welcoming and takes great care of both his land and anyone who stays. The perfect getaway for us and our dog ❤️

We absolutely LOVED this place! Michael is our people, our tribe. We knew as soon as we pulled up and the way he greated us, we were home for the next 2 nights. There is so much to do and enjoy. Michael provided us with a portapotty, camp shower, and firewood for both nights. There are swings, hammocks, chairs, and fire pits all over the property to enjoy during your stay and we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves. We played lawn darts, there is volleyball, you can kayak and tube right from the hipcamp. There is even an energy bell to release energy that we loved using. If your modern day hippies like our family and want to commute with nature or just want a peaceful beautiful unique place to camp, you need to come here. You will love it. We stayed right by the river and having the sound all night was wonderful. YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! We will be back soon to enjoy the kayaking and tubing and to see all the flowers that will be in bloom. Thank you Michael!!!

Pretty spot along the river. Access to kayaking and tubing during warm weather. Michael was a friendly host. Good privacy between sites. One heads up, Google maps will tell you that you’ve arrived, but you’ll need to go just a little further before you see the red building.
Michael is an incredible host! He had everything ready for us upon arrival. We will definitely be back!
Sanctuary vibes. The waterfall sound at site #1 and the stream trickle sound at site #2 were both serene to sleep near to. Michael also kindly allowed me to borrow one of his kayaks, and of course, from up river the flow leads directly to his Oasis.

The Old Red Mill Oasis is heaven on earth in Central Wisconsin! The whole property along the Big Plover River has been carefully curated, with gazing benches showcasing meditative views. I loved to listen to the rush of the river at the Red Mill, and walk the manicured trails. My doodle dog Yummy is in absolute bliss on the land! The mushroom hunting was sublime in the prime! Michael is such a gracious host and wants to make your experience a memory to last forever. The kayaking is supreme, with a few different options. It's a treat when the heron leads you back to camp. Thank you, Michael!

The campsite was lovely. Michael was such a great host! He delivered wood and even started our fire for us Friday night when I didn’t have a lighter 😌 He told us where to start upstream for a paddling trip and also was welcoming and sweet to our dog. We plan on visiting again!

Michael was an amazing host. He had everything there available that you could possibly want. It is a really secluded and beautiful spot. We definitely want to come back again to kayak or go tubing down the river.

Great host and sites had a blast. Beautiful scenery too
What an indescribably beautiful place on this sweet earth. Michael's land, a long strip of wooded shoreland on the Plover river, is one man's life's wo. It is a gorgeous mix of wild wonder and gentle landscaping. Michael is a wonderful host. He did all he could to make our stay as memorable as possible. I cannot recommend his little paradise more.
Had the honor of being the first visitors to this HipCamp! Michael was a great host and very open to feedback on how he can make the place even better for his guests. He has lots of ideas and is very excited to share this special place with others. The entire property is gorgeous and you can tell he has put a lot of effort into it. My dogs loved the easy access to the water and sniffing around the trails.
The HipCamp is right on the Plover River. Occasionally kayakers and canoes will pass by. The water is fairly shallow through there, so it was great for the dogs to play and for us humans to wade in. There are areas that get deeper as well and a place by the rapids you can sit and have the water rush around you like a whirlpool. Tubes and kayaks are also available to take on the river. We did a bit of floating down the river on the tubes!
Nice spacing between the sites. There is a central area between the sites with some games such as giant Jenga and disc golf. Firewood available to purchase onsite as well for a great price. The host, Michael, also has a small camper in this area but did not stay onsite, just came by to check on things and make sure we had everything we needed. Forgot to bring our tripod for cooking over the fire and he magically made one appear!
Can’t wait to see what else Michael has in store for the property. Will definitely be back again! Thank you for an amazing weekend!
