Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

A private sanctuary with 30 acres located just north of Waupaca's Chain O' Lakes with groomed hiking and/or biking trails. Terrain is varied with ponds, hills, and valleys. Shower, potable water, and rec room available. PLEASE NOTE all wheel drive (AWD) is needed to park next to your site. If you don't have AWD, there's parking by the rec room. The roads get slick if it's rainy. Firewood is available for purchase in addition to a 24 x 32 rec room/storm shelter. Kayaks and SUPs available to rent too! The rec room offers a fun room full of games (ping pong, darts, and other fun games) and a living room area with multiple TVs. We have a kitchen area with a refrigerator (no water) with snacks, pizza, and beverages available. Head into town for shopping, coffee, and baked treats. Or head to the Chain for crystal clear water, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, skiing, or dining at one of Waupaca's signature restaurants. Clear Water Camping has a rich history. The location is where the stagecoach house (still standing) was built in 1847 to support the nearby granite quarry.

6. Private Pond

Great spot, 4WD RECOMMENDED!

I have a ford conversion van and had a lot of issues getting to and from the campsite after it rained needing to be towed twice. The sites are cool and the community room is awesome, just not for 2wd vehicles!!

6. Private Pond

This was by far one of my best trips!!! Adam and Jackie were great hosts! Jackie kept in contact with me on my 2 1/2 hours drive up there, had the wood waiting for us so that was one less thing we had to worry about after we set up camp. The rec room is great, decorations were very personalized, made it feel homey. The port a potty was the cleanest port o potty I ever seen!! I will definitely be back!!!

2. Secluded Pond Oasis

The pond site was so enjoyable! You can tell Adam and Jackie have put a lot of thought into their entire hipcamp. Dry firewood in the pit ready to go, a tripod stand and grate to cook over the fire, kayak available and a beautiful loop around the "river". Heard and saw lots of songbirds and a fish splashed in the water. Steep decent into the site (my car said 12degrees) but manageable for any car slowly. I'll be back!

7. Spacious Group Camp

Interesting camp sites that varied from open to quite shaded. Our site 7 was large and separated from all the others. There was a trail that ran from our site to at least close to all of the other sites. Quite a nice piece of property.

4. Secluded Hilltop

Book the trip!

The secluded hill top sight is by far my favorite spot for a small camping group. They have plenty more larger spots to choose from too! I also loved all the walking trails throughout the camp site! So much better than a state park! Explore the area: Hartman state park includes many trails to walk or bike and multiple lakes to discover! My favorite experience of all time was kayaking to Junction Lake on the Crystal River. This was by far my favorite kayaking experience and my first taste of “white water”. There are plenty more “Chain O-Lakes” to discover here! On our way out we checked out the lookout at Gibraltar Rock in Lodi Wisconsin. This was a camping trip for the books!
