4 acres nestled bordered on all sides by thousands of acres of public lands. Hike the hills and bluffs for scenic views of the Lower Wisconsin Riverway. Descend to enjoy the sandy Wisconsin River. Walk over to Knapp Creek and fish for Catfish, etc. One mile to the Wisconsin River for Catfish, Northern, Rock Bass, Flat Heads, Sturgeon, etc. We are in SW Wisconsin’s Driftless Region. Apple orchards, Vineyards, Cheese factories, National Brewery Museum, Mississippi River, all within 10-40 minutes. 4 great parks within 30 miles. Wildlife abound including deer, turkey, fox, coyote, beaver, muskrat, river otter, raccoons, squirrels, eagles, swans, yep fish of all varieties, etc. Fill your canteen from our natural spring to enjoy along the way. Pause to reflect beside the babbling brook. We do have chickens and 3 Guinea Fowl. They are fenced on the opposite side of the creek. Please be aware: the rooster crows around 0500. They are 300’ away on the opposite side of the main house. Audible but hopefully not annoying. That said we are happy to have fresh eggs available for your enjoyment. Add them in the “extras” at checkout or mention when you arrive. We have one nice medium dog who won’t likely visit.Plenty of tent space, secluded yet open enough for some breeze. Sun and shade. Head straight into the valley and hike along the creek to the beaver dams. Head up the trail to the top of the hill and across the ridge. Find scenic bluff vistas hundreds of feet above the Wisconsin Riverway. Hundreds of acres of public land surround us. Or simply relax by the large fire pit and watch clouds pass. Dip your toes in the cooling spring fed crick flowing past your tent. Firewood provided for a nice fire. Additional bundles available $3per. We do have chickens and the rooster will start crowing around 0500. Their coop is 300 feet away however and on opposite side of creek. Mosquitoes vary but few after mid-summer.

Camping by the Brook

Warm greeting from Everett, beautiful site by a stream, and a luggable loo thrown in for good measure. This was my first shake-out night on the road with 2 pups and a new power station. Due to some snafus related to power drawn down and a pup who was both nervous and nauseous, we left too early to take advantage of their trail up the mountain or lovely mountain spring water, so ..next time! Book their sweet site, and ask about the maple syrup. You won't be disappointed!

Great rustic spot

Everett and April are the type of hosts that make a site like Hip-camp work. He greeted my with a smile, a handshake, and a dozen fresh eggs. The site is exactly as described. I was able to get a loaded street motorcycle to the camp area no problem. They provided plenty of wood with kindling and told me not to be shy. Everett knew of some activities in the area and we have a couple nice chats. The stars were big and bright and the place is quiet. I'll be back!!

We loved this property. A lot of space and my dog was able to be off leash which was so nice. House is visible from the site but a creek separates the house from the site, there are also lots of trees and brush. It was actually nice knowing that if something happened we could get help. Everett stopped over and said a quick hello, he was super kind! Chickens and turkey's, I believe, clucked in the background which we found very charming. Great space for a family and multiple tents to pitch and spread out. Outhouse was clean and stocked for us. Close to the town of Boscobel and the WI river which we took a night dip in! We loved it. Thanks April and Everett!

April and Everett were wonderful hosts! Everett welcomed us warmly, showed us a few different spots to camp, and was more than happy to point out some trails on their land. My fiancée and I were reminded that if we need anything, "Just holler". The spring provided some amazing fresh water that was just what we needed after sweating from the hike. We'd love to come back, but maybe after a less-wet season with fewer mosquitos ;)

Such a beautiful setting big enough to spread out with our large tent, bug shelter, and spot for our hammock. The boys (7 & 3) loved catching frogs from the creek and only fell in 3 or 4 times. We enjoyed the huge fire ring with plenty of fire wood for the week. Had a visit from one of the chickens which made us all giggle. Barred owls and mourning doves kept us wondering what other birds we might hear. And the eggs and maple syrup from April and Everett were delicious.
