Campers rave about the soothing sounds of a nearby creek and the abundance of hiking trails that invite exploration. The hosts are consistently praised for their warmth and helpfulness, ensuring guests feel welcome and well-informed.

I had a very pleasant experience at this campsite. The nearby stream provides some beautiful scenery and relaxing sounds. It feels quiet and secluded but is also a short drive from town and local sightseeing opportunities.

My husband, our two big dogs, and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway at this campsite. The hosts were great at communicating everything. Our dogs took advantage of the stream access for drinking and splashing around. The hosts provided wood for our first night, and we could easily find additional firewood on the property. We started Saturday by checking out the Viroqua farmers' market. There were so many unique things there from our local farmers market in northern Wisconsin- it's definitely worth checking out. Midday, we lounged around the site, and I took the dogs on the trails. I would call the hiking on the property Moderate to Difficult, as the ground can be slippery, uneven, and steep. In the late afternoon, we made the trip to the Kickapoo Valley and Wildcat Mountain State Park, another don't-miss in the area. Here, you can take in expansive views of the Driftless Area and even explore an ice cave with ease. We really loved the location, water access, starry sky, and that our dogs could be on vacation, too.

Our 2nd time camping here, can't wait for our 3rd time! We love the remoteness, the quiet, the crackling fires, the bubbling little trout stream. It's a wonderful place to camp and unwind. This time we brought little girls who never had camped away from our backyard. They had the time of their lives. Suzie greeted us at arrival and then left us to ourselves. Camp was clean and everything we could hope for.

Norma’s first camping trip
Tent · With pets
This spot is a hidden gem! You get your own private spot right next to creek tucked back from the main road. Stars galore at night and the sound of the creek next to the bonfire made for a couple of relaxing nights. It’s been about 20 years since my last camping trip as a kid and very happy to have found this spot as my first as an adult.

Driftless Dreamland

This gorgeous spot in the Driftless was exactly what we were looking for to disconnect & get out of town for a few days. Lovely private area to set up camp next to a charming creek that provides the loveliest background soundtrack. We enjoyed the gorgeous surroundings & truly feeling away from it all. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, communicative & helpful - available/nearby if we needed anything but left us to enjoy. Solar shower was fun & cozy outhouse was available with nearby gas stations/parks if you’re feeling a little more “high maintenance.” Thankful to have found this beautiful site & hopeful to be back!

If you want a quiet spot with a cold, clear, pristine brook waking you up every morning, this is the spot for you. I 100% will come back here the next chance I get.

What a lovely weekend. The campsite is so quaint and beautiful. There is enough space between the site and the owners home that it feels very secluded, but they are close enough by in case of emergency.
The site is absolutely beautiful, under the canopy of trees but enough space for tents and dogs to run around. Not to mention the amazing stream that runs right through the campsite.
The host was very helpful and kind, giving us good recommendations in town and taking care of any issues that arise. We will be back!

Perfect Driftless Camping
Tent
This is such a lovely campsite! Nestled into a picturesque Driftless valley, right by a small crystal creek. Suzie was a great host. It was really easy to find the site, there is even a clear "Welcome HipCamp" sign at the turn, which is a rarity and super helpful when we arrived in the dark. The outhouse was very new and clean. We enjoyed exploring the property with it's maze of trails. Just a short drive from Viroqua. Would love to stay again!

Picturesque river valley area with the perfect solo secluded site. Communicative, pleasant host. Simple but clean outhouse. Awesome mini hiking trail system carved into the property. My pup had a blast.

My partner and I enjoyed our camping experience very much, Suzie’s spot provided much needed time to unplug. The little stream is very peaceful, great places to set up hammocks, and the road was very quiet. Bugs were not an issue at all. Zero cell service for ATT and Verizon — which is exactly what we hoped for, but just fyi.

Camping on Suzie’s land was a real treat! My partner and I hiked around a little bit on the 40 acres, yet felt like we barely scratched the surface. Beautiful spring fed brook running through the site and it was even close enough to hear while drifting off to sleep. There are many worthwhile activities close by including the viroqua farmers market on Saturdays and the inviting Kickapoo River. I’d highly recommend checking out this gorgeous piece of the driftless with two wonderful hosts! I’m looking forward to the next time we can make it out yonder! Thanks Suzie!

We (and our dog) love camping here. Wonderful hosts (helpful, proactively communicating, but never in the way), gorgeous space (I would rather hang at the campsite than most other spots in which I have plunked down a chair and my book), an unreal number of fireflies, varied trails for walking the dog (and many criscrossings of the creek for dog to plonk around in), perfect starting point for a jaw-droppingly beautiful 5-, 20-, or 40-mile bike ride. An extra amenity they have added since our last stay is a solar shower, which I used and loved every single day. You could stay here to go hiking, biking, and paddling every day all day...or you could stay here and truly just stay here happily for a long weekend. Do it, either way.

A spacious site with plenty of peace, quiet and privacy. Mixed sun and shade; nice campfire area. The creek is tiny, but beautiful. There are a few trout in there as well!
The owners are very easy to get along with: great communication via the app, and in person if necessary. The in person “check-in” was quick & pleasant.
The campsite is relatively close to the road that goes through the valley, but there are enough trees and vegetation to make that pretty much a moot point. And there is less traffic on that road than there is in the average state park campsite loops!

Amazing spot!
Tent
We loved the place, great tent space. The set back location really gives you a nice hidden little location. We were out for fishing and hiking and we enjoyed both. We were able to hike the property alittle and really love what is being done there. We Were greeting by host and she was got us a 5 gallon outdoor shower set up, unfortunately we did not get to use it as it was alittle cold out. But very much appreciated the availability of it. Absolutely loved being right next to the stream. You could hear the stream all night long. So relaxing. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing host! They provided great directions to the property (google maps gets confused) and we knew exactly what to expect when we arrived. Perfect little property tucked in the hills of Wisconsin! Waking up to the sounds of nature and the running creek is something I will be thinking about for weeks. We had some rain while we were tent camping but the site was very easy to set up on and we had zero issues finding anything we needed between what they provide and local gas stations near by. A few visits from locals walking close to the site but they kept their distance and we still felt pretty secluded. Perfect weekend away spot and I definitely recommend staying here, I will be back hopefully in fall or summer when the area is in full bloom! :) I can’t thank you guys enough for opening up your property to us!

Suzie’s land was exactly what we needed a secluded getaway for the weekend that offered all the sounds nature and the babbling creek to wash away the stress of the world. Suzie was also an excellent host who ensured we had all that we needed and then faded into the background giving us all the privacy we could ask for , thank you for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful creek-side camping spot
Tent
Had a great time staying here. Very quiet and minimal vehicle noise made for a very restful few days. The stargazing here at night is fantastic with occasional wildlife hoots and hollers in the distance. Then you wake up to sounds of the creek and wind in the trees. Saw a few deer roam around as well. Thanks to the hosts for having this place and for being so kind. They made the stay very pleasant and now I look forward to going back to this spot in the spring.

Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone. 😀

What a beautiful weekend!! Warm days and cool nights; peaceful brook running behind the campsite, and a chorus of birdsong morning and night. Tons of bike/hiking trails - varying levels of difficulty. This place sits in a hallow, nestled in hardwood hills.
Jon and Suzie were gracious hosts! Thank you for sharing the beauty with us!
Tips: bring in firewood for extra nights or be prepared to scavenge (plenty of big limbs), but bring a saw/axe with ya!
Thanks for the memories!!

We had a lovely stay here. The site felt secluded but was easy to access, and the creek running right by it, the fire pit (with seating), the picnic table, and the outhouse made for a cozy and enjoyable stay. We'll be back!

Beautiful land, generous amenities.
Tent
Picturesque views of the surrounding bluffs from a lush valley filled with the music of nature’s creatures. The campsite itself is large and the land is very well maintained. The host was there to meet me and offer local recommendations, then left me to my privacy for the remainder of my stay.
I had zero phone reception, but I did not mind. The hosts live a short walk away absent any phone services, I felt safer knowing they were reachable to contact in case of emergency.
I can’t describe the beauty of this place in words and even the photos can’t capture it all. You’ll have to go and see. I highly recommend this campsite and will definitely return!

A serene camping experience.

Directions were outstanding. Susie and Jon were very warm and welcoming. Then they melted away for the rest of our stay, while offering their accomidations if we needed. Their piece of land is beautiful! We setup our tent, camping within a walnut grove with a bubbling brook and our fire crackling in the circle. All this adding to the wonderful ambiance of chirping insects, whooting owls, and yipping coyotes at night. It was such a peaceful and pure and relaxing place to be, we surely would love to visit again.
