Bad River Wilderness

Update:  This property was just awarded 2nd place for 2024 as the 2nd best Hipcamp in Wisconsin out of 252 Hipcamp's based on reviews and ratings!  Thank you to all who have enjoyed this amazing property and provided a review or rating!!! 

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 abandoned since 2015 and it makes a nice hiking path along the river for many miles to the north. 

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.  

Gichi-Gami Christmas Tree Farm

We own a 39 acre property on the east side of Ashland, WI.  There are three primitive/walk in (no water available, no facilities, no tables) campsites available and a couple of trails.  More trails to come. Enjoy the night sky as many, many stars are visible.  The property is mostly wooded and can be wet in spots during the spring. You are allowed walk the site off trail at your own risk. 

Please park your vehicle as close to one side of the driveway as possible as not to block the driveway so if needed the tower company has access to the tower. 

Please do not walk in the cleared area near the front of the property to the right of driveway/access road, as this area has been planted with Christmas tree saplings.  

There is a dedicated campfire square in the site.  Please do not burn outside of this area. There is plenty of dead and down firewood to collect in the nearby woods – some may need to cut to size.

There are no garbage cans on site, so please pack out what you pack in.

Hike to the sites:

Campsite 1 – Near County Highway A – just past gate. Large enough for two 4 person tents

Campsite 2 – From gate - .10 mile hike – large enough for a 4 person tent

Campsite 3 – From gate - .13 mile hike – large enough for a 3 person tent

So that you are aware:  Hipcamp will be adding a "service fee" (15-20%) when you complete the booking to cover their site management and other things.  I don't get any of this service fee and they also take an additional 10% from the price I list to cover the $1 million in insurance for you.
