This is a delightful State Park near Effigy Monument Park. You can walk about three blocks to an overview of the River and Wisconsin on the other side. The Park was not crowded during the weekday but they accept reservations and those sites able to be reserved were all booked for the week-end. We stopped in the little town of McGregor and walked through the shops. This is an area where you can stay for several days and enjoy every minute. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice state park, but the campground sites are very rough. It is difficult, but not impossible, for a motorhome (40 ft or shorter) to get into some sites. The campground is heavily treed so don't count on satellite TV. There is a lot of hiking in the park and great views of the Mississippi River. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice state park. The sites are wide however some would be hard to get into with a big rig. It was hard to get into the site I had. I would camp there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Emaculate rest rooms & shower Awesome view of the Mississippi & Wisconsin river. Great hiking trails. Some sites were awkward to get into, but we will return. Very nice place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very beautiful park to camp at in October. The falls colors are everywhere up and down the Mississippi. Large rigs may have trouble with overhanging limbs and getting into most sites. We stayed three nights and had a great time in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We went out of our way to camp in this park again. The view alone is worth stopping. Don't forget, there is no water hookup, but there is a very nice clean shower area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent campground. Very nice state park with great overlooks and hiking trails. There are even some mountain biking trails. Lots to see and do in Marquette, Mc Gregor and Prairie du Chien. The campground was very clean and well laid out. The restrooms & showers were incredibly clean and well maintained. The only things keeping me from awarding a "10" were....1-The warm water showers, which may be okay in summer, were a bit cold on this cool spring week end and 2-The campground host were not yet in residence, and no one at the concession stand seemed to know how we could buy a bundle of wood. But all in all, we had a great weekend of hiking/sight seeing, survived the cold shower and eventually flagged down a park ranger who was able to direct us on who to see about buying the firewood. This is a very nice area to see & a great clean & quiet campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There are some interesting things to do here - like hike to the interpretative center and watch the dozen hummingbirds feed at 6 feeders. They aren't too afraid of you so you can get close and take amazing photographs of them. Good hiking with views of the Mississippi. Hiking to Bridal Veil Falls is enjoyable even though there are hundred of stairs down. . . and up again. We saw several effigy mounds while hiking - interesting. However, many of the sites are not Class A friendly - too tilted or low branches. Sites were quite close together with no separating vegitation. Our "neighbor" had his porch-light on all night which shown directly in our bedroom window - yech. Site 38 was OK for our Class A. Lots of dogs in the campground and, with the sites so close, their chains didn't always keep them in their own site. Our personal preference was this was a fine place to visit and experience once, but we don't feel an urge to return soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a hidden treasure. We just happened on to it and loved it. The shower house and restroom facilities were spotless. It is a small state park so it does not have all of the extras that a private park has. It was so quiet and peaceful. In addition to the camping portion there is a separate day park area. Nice playground, several hiking paths and a wonderful overlook of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers.
If you are in the area check it out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nightly rate based on a this was one of the worst places we've been to. The interior road was supposed to be gravel, it was a limestone dust road. The speed limit was supposed to be "5" and we all know that song and dance, especially when the help and hosts haul butt in the golf carts kicking up a big cloud. But the best was the railroad tracks thru the campground and when I asked how often they come thru I got "around 4-5 times a day" and yes that includes during the night! At the entrance of the campground the tracks cross the road so of course they have to blow and blow and blow the horn and if that doesn't wake you then the weight of the train shaking the ground and everything on it will. Thank god I didn't have to do laundry, and after opening the laundry room door there was no way I could have, the stench was so bad and the room was filthy. The Spook Cave tour will cost you another $10 per person for a 30 minute tour-It's not worth that much money. My advice skip the cave and keep on rolling.... We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here 10 days and loved it!! Spaces were huge with lots of trees, grass and a creek running right behind the rig. The train was a minor inconvenience now and again. Very close to Prairie Du Chein, Macgregor, Effigy Mounds and many historic sites. Quiet, even though the campground was busy with campers and folks coming to see Spook Cave. Would stay here again!!
