Private sites

99% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.

Rural property that once was a combination of a dairy farm and commercial woodland. It is rare in that it has a 40 acre field, a 5 acre island, a year round creek and over 2,000 feet of river frontage and nearly 40 acres of woods. Learn more about this land: There are over 80 acres of woods, fields and an island to explore. The property has over 2,000 feet of frontage on the Chippewa River. There is also a year around creek that flows through the property to the river. Currently there are three separate sites that are suitable for camping on the bank of the Chippewa. Each site is primitive and has lots of privacy. There are five trails that go through the woods as well as follow the bank of the river. There is a stairway that descends to the river. The river at this point is rather pristine. There are no houses on the camping side of the river and just a few on the opposite side. The river along the property is great for wading, swimming, canoeing/kayaking and fishing. There are over a dozen lakes within a 20 mile radius of the property. Less than 3 miles from the property there are snowmobile and four wheeling trails that connect to trails that extend over 300 miles. The property is less than 15 miles from the headquarters of the Ice Age Trail that stretches from near Superior to near Madison, Wisconsin.

Site 1 - Maggie's Merry Mirror

The site we camped at was quite wonderful, so calm and peaceful. We had brought a bit of gear with us which made for a few treks. Campsite 1 wasnt far from where we parked. I did feel nicely grounded.

Excellent sites

Maggie's Mirror sites 1 and 2 are awesome campsites camping next to the river good bathroom with plenty of firewood provided. Dennis and Kathleen are very kind and good hosts. Site 1 is built up very nicely for a party of people. Site 2 is just fine for me being a single person. The sites are worth probably atleast double of what they charge.

Site 5 - Maggie's Merry Mirror

Good isolated campsite.

Very nice private and quiet camping spot. I stayed at site 5 for several days. Occasionally I would hear a car on the road (which is a decent distance away and mostly blocked by trees) but they weren't very loud and I didn't find them bothersome. I didn't see any other people when I was at my site, tho once I did hear what sounded like the jingle of dog tags, so there may have been another guest walking their dog, but they didn't bother me at all. The tent area is quite large, I easily fit a 10x14 foot instant tent with room to spare. Anything larger might struggle to fit. At site 5 you can drive right up and park your car, so no need to carry your things. There's an outhouse, firewood is provided, and you can get water from a hose at the host's house. I'd recommend filtering the water if you want to drink it. The first couple of nights I heard coyotes howling in the distance, but it never sounded like they were coming closer to my camp. It is quite buggy, being in the woods and near water, so mosquito spray is a must. Overall a positive experience, especially if you like being isolated and away from others.

Great place. The mosquitoes were a bit much for us. Obviously nature's fault. Grrrrr
