Bad River Wilderness

Bad River Wilderness in Wisconsin features forested terrain with a mix of trees and open spaces. Temperatures range from lows in the 20s Fahrenheit during winter to highs in the 80s during summer. Nearby, visitors can explore the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and Copper Falls State Park.

Description

In the far North of Wisconsin along the Bad River I have 3 campsites that are available through Hipcamp.com. At the main campsite, Eagle Pines On The Bad River, there is a composting toilet outhouse, a fire ring with a grill, a picnic table, a canoe and paddles to use, and amazing hiking to secluded waterfalls. I also have a hike in site with a Tentsile Stingray tree tent along the river, and another hike in site with grassy locations to place your own tents along the river. Our campsites are within 10 minutes of Copper. Falls State Park and near Lake Superior.

2 sites are HIKE IN! 1/4 Mile. Please read the full description of each site before booking.

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 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 a map at the campsite to find these.

Calling experienced campers! 3 campsites and 3 waterfalls!

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're excited to have this new partner listed on our platform. These are hike in sites and the payoff is worth every step. You will be secluded!! If you're looking for a place where you rub elbows with other campers, this is not the place for you. These sites are just a 10 minute drive to Copper Falls State Park. Also nearby is Morgan Falls, St Peters Dome, Lake Superior, the Apostle Islands, and just a 20 minute drive to the Clam Lake area to watch the Elk along the roads. Enjoy your experience and leave a review!

Thank you Ashley but one of my campsites is a drive-to site and the other 2 are 1/8 mile hike-to sites.
