** Celebrating our FOURTH year of hosting in 2026!! NEW for 2026 is access to electrical, as well as a NEW picnic table!** **Due to several inquiries, We DO allow campers to camp in their vehicles down by the site if you have 4WD. Park at your own risk** New market items for sale on site, delivered right to your campsite including fresh, free-range chicken eggs 🐓 🥚, fresh baked Amish style bread, local coffee, homemade jelly, jugs of water, and more! Follow us on Instagram (riverside_roost) for the latest updates on what's happening at the Roost! Special discounts will pop up randomly. Come and enjoy all of Central Wisconsins beauty! Situated on the shores of the Little Plover River, the site is ready for you to set up your tent and go! Kayaking, swimming, tubing, and excellent northern pike fishing is all available. We are a short 15 minute drive from the nearest town for any essentials. Area Attractions: -SentryWorld Golf Course in Stevens Point (10 miles from campsite) -Indianhead Golf Course in Mosinee (19 miles) -O'so Brewing Company Taproom in Plover (19 miles) -Stevens Point Sculpture Park (13 miles) -Jordan Bar and Grill in Stevens Point (6.5 miles) -Cedar Creek Cinema (Marcus Theatres) in Rothschild (26 miles) -Sawmill Adventure Park (mini golf and trampoline park) in Rothschild (26 miles)We invite you to set up camp on our quiet shores and enjoy a break from the fast paced world. Located on 150 yards of water frontage, Riverside Roost is situated by the old Bentley lumber mill, complete with a dam, which provides bountiful Northern Pike fishing certain times of the year. We have a wooded 4 acre homestead, with plenty of areas to set up your tent. Trash bin, fire ring, and 4 Adirondack chairs are available. We have one main site at the base of the dam, where the grass is mowed and maintained. You are able to see our homestead from the river bottom, but natural foliage such as large ferns and trees block our view from the home most of the year, so there is privacy. **Please note that while we only have one site to ensure a private camping experience, the dam and land across the dam is public and is used for fishing and putting kayaks in/out** Our water frontage is shallow, between 1-3 feet, and mostly sandy/rocky. Highly suggest water shoes for ease of walking and swimming. If you’re more adventurous, kayaks and a canoe are available for rent and can be put in on either side of the dam. Tubes are also available for rent and can be used for a 45 minute float or a 3 hour float down the Little Plover River. It’s not uncommon to spot Bald Eagles, turtles, otter, and deer on our stretch of the river. The site is a short 3-minute walk from our main home where we try to be available to field any questions or address emergencies. Shores are quiet and mostly undeveloped. We are a 15 minute drive to Stevens Point, and a 25 minute drive to Wausau. Firewood available for purchase on site (please see extras for information). Extras can be paid for via QR code for PayPal or Venmo if not added during check out. Additional Information Regarding Location: -Please note we are in a remote area; cell service is not guaranteed. -We have a running hobby farm with free-range chickens, so it's possible you may hear our roosters. -We do have shelter available if extreme weather occurs. Must contact prior to utilizing. -Lastly, if you stay during the weekday, there is an active lumber mill in close proximity to our home and you may hear them during their work hours during the week. They are closed during weekends.
