Wisconsin River Sandbar Camping 1
We had a great time canoeing and camping on the sandbars. The canoe route wasn’t overly long and very enjoyable! There are plenty of spots to pull off and swim or rest. It was very exciting to scope out a sandbar to set up camp on. Overall, we had an amazing time and the trip down the river was beautiful! The hosts were amazing and extremely personable as well. 10/10 recommend especially if you need a good reset!!

Although we had a crazy thunderstorm Saturday night on the sandbar the trip was overall very positively memorable! Rick and Elizabeth were incredibly helpful and considerate.
I would definitely do this again!

It was a really fun trip. They make it so easy to do a little sandbar getaway! Would do it again. And totally recommend.

Such an awesome experience, and probably one of the best ways to explore Wisconsin! We loved being able to canoe the Wisconsin River at our leisure and choose the best sandbar we could find to set up camp. Walked in not too sure how things would go, but Rick and Elizabeth were very responsive and accommodating for us. Rick is a great guy and we really enjoyed our time spent with him as he drove us up the river to start our canoe journey. Then, the next morning we had a short canoe trip back to where we parked and could leave as soon as we got there. Honestly can’t recommend enough - such a cool way to explore the Wisconsin Dells and hope we can make it back!

It was such a cool experience canoeing and camping on a sandbar! Every guest had a fantastic time and we were blessed with great weather as well! It was a smashing success of a Bachelor Party and we definitely will be coming back sometime!

AWESOME TRIP! We did this for a 30th birthday and everyone had an amazing time! It was also nice to do something outside of our usual backpacking. The hosts were fantastic! They were very friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about our experience. They are also local so they were able to give us some ideas on things we could do along the way as well.
You are in the sun a lot. Expect zero natural shade from sun up to sun down. I highly suggest 3x the amount of sunscreen you usually bring. Also, water shoes, sandals, etc. I was too stubborn to put mine on the first day and I got burned on the bottoms of my feet from the sand.
Great trip! See you next year Elizabeth and Rick!

My friends and I (group of 4) had an absolute blast with Elizabeth's sandbar camping. She was quick to respond and very informative about the area and the river itself. It was a beautiful trip, easy to find campsites, and all the equipment was in top shape. I absolutely recommend this trip for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away.

I am conflicted about writing a review for the best camping experience ever - because one of the best things about it was COMPLETE PRIVACY! We went mid week and we were soooo amazed to see no one else the entire time! Rick and Elizabeth thought of everything - best left the best part adventure to us. We will do this again. We feel rejuvenated and calm. Nature at its best. We have so much gratitude for this opportunity.

Favorite Hipcamp ever! The logistics couldn't have been smoother. Elizabeth met us at the take-out parking lot with all the gear we needed, explained the route, and drove us upriver to the put-in. We went mid-week before Labor Day and had the river entirely to ourselves (plus the birds). Being able to paddle/float at our own pace and then choose a sandbar we liked to set up camp for the night was awesome. It was an incredible experience for two, and I could see how you could have a lot of fun with a bigger group, too. The Wisconsin River was pristine and serene, and it was amazing to see so much wildlife (flocks of egrets, fish jumping, otter footprints on the beach). We hope to be back soon!

This is an absolutely amazing camping experience. This was our first time canoe camping and Elizabeth and Rick were incredible. They are super knowledgeable and answered all of our questions, and are just above and beyond. Picking out and camping on my own private sandbar is an experience i will never forget. Do not skip this opportunity!

Doing the overnight canoe trip was so much fun and I highly recommend this if you like being on the water! Elizabeth + Rick are incredibly knowledgeable and great hosts overall. It's nice getting to pick whatever sandbar along the way to set up camp for the night too! When I went there was no one else to compete with for spots, but even if you do go in the summer when it's busier there's plenty of cool spots to choose from!

Great place to get out on the water for a couple of days. We did the overnight camping and it was beautiful and didn’t see any other campsite even close to ours. The hosts were very knowledgeable about the area and the river and just super nice couple. We look forward to using this outfitter again. 😊
