This is one of the best campgrounds in the area. We have a 40 foot class A with a 24 foot trailer for our toys, and we had plenty of room to pull around and drive into the site. The sites are fairly level and compacted well. This location for all the parks and attractions is ideal. Pretty much centrally located. The bar where the office is located sits on the Wisconsin River and has decent food. The food was much better last year. They must have gotten a new cook, and quality of food went down. We would have given a higher score on the campground, but there were two things that pulled it down in our opinion. First, the grass could use a bit of care. If they would at least fertilize and spread bug granules it would be a great improvement. Second, they say you should not bring your firewood because of the ash disease, but I suggest you do. They will rip you off there. It's $5 for an armful. I have big arms, and that is not enough for one evening. You need two. So $10 a night for fire wood is a joke. The mosquitoes were horrendous. We had to use our fogger twice each evening. I know you can’t control the mosquito population on a river, so be prepared to use a few cans of bug spray. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a mixed campground with a large number of long term seasonal sites which are not very well kept. Signage to campground limited. Good area to park to register. Office friendly and efficient. Access road to transient sites good except one corner where a tree needs trimming. Transient section well laid out with large flat grass sites with full hook-up. Solid electricity and good water pressure. Further sites are being developed in new section. Was a good location to visit the attractions of Spring Green. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are all sand/grass, but level. We had a small water drip at their faucet that we couldn't stop - and the drippage stained our white hose badly with rust. Be sure you have a filter. No sand burrs, but lots of ants and gnats. It's an OK place to stop for a day or two (we stayed 3), but there's lots of room for improvement. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in the new section with pull throughs that will handle big rigs. Electricity was good, 50 amp. Site was level on gravel. Picnic tables on concrete pad. Clear line for satellite. Staff was very friendly. Gave a 7 because we only stayed a few days and did not use the facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This looks like a fun place to bring kids in the summer and enjoy the Wisconsin river; it appears to be sandy and shallow here. (We visited in late October) The RV sites are tucked behind the yearly rentals - you can't see the river. Management was pleasant, and the facilities appear neat and well-cared for. The shower/bathroom area is about 50 yards from the RV section; we could not use them because they were being painted (but we were there during the week- they were ready for the weekenders) Our only complaint is this: the grassy area of the RV section was also growing sand-burrs! This is NOT a good place to walk barefoot - and be prepared to pick them out of your pet's fur every time they go out. Hopefully, they will treat these weeds and replant grass..... We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was passable but not great. It apparently caters to the locals: there are many
seasonal sites, some of which are pretty run-down. There's a bar on site, and they run tubing trips down the river (which is nice but the mosquitoes were absolutely swarming). The RV sites are very narrow and in a small wide-open area with no shade. We were there 4th of July weekend and several campers were setting off large fireworks all weekend; nothing was ever done. My children were a little nervouse around some of the other campers, who seemed to be in packs of teenagers. For an overnight it's not bad but I wouldn't make this a destination. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
