Bad River Wilderness

4 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Mellen, WI

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!!! I am considering selling this property as it would be an amazing location for a secluded home on the river. There are no homes for over 1 mile upstream or for about 10 miles downstream so it could be a very special isolated location. There's a power line buried along the main road on the property so electricity is easily accessible. I would be selling the 40 acre parcel and another 11 acre parcel further downriver. One could also develop this to provide multiple building sites on the water or expand it to offer more campsites even with electricity. I haven't decided on a price yet as I just decided I will sell this. If you or anyone you know may be interested please let me know. 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.
