"I enjoy camping away from the hub bub of the family campground and opting for the backpack or cart in sites. Luckily, Great River Bluffs has some of the nicest cart ins I have encountered."
"What a beautiful & peaceful gem of a place in south eastern Minnesota!"
"There is a rail line that runs along between the Mississippi and the park edge, campsites are away from this but still can be heard as well as motor boats on the River."
"The nice little town of trempealeau is close by with a cool old hotel and some fun bars.
Highly recommended."

"We stayed one night on our way to Minnesota. There is plenty of shade. The park streets are asphalt with two concrete strips for your tires in the sites."

"Goose Island has very friendly staff and a nice little camp supply store at the entrance where you can also purchase firewood in two sizes of tubes. You’ll need a way to haul the wood to your site."
"The sites are close together near the entrance. The spread out as you get deeper into the park. Beautiful grounds. Good communication from the camp rangers when we had to switch sites."
"Vet's Park has direct access to the La Crosse Great River Trail where you can connect onto Elroy/Sparta Trail to the east and it directly to La Crosse Great River Trail to the northwest."
"Great location!"

"Great Harvest Host location super nice family."
"We pulled in from a long driving day .we were greeted by our host . She was very friendly and explained where the site was . Had a great night sleep . This is a good over night stop ."
"It was spacious and very well kept, with a great view of the lake. Wry easy to back in and get set up, almost level and took very little adjustment to get our spot in order."
"They are pretty open, so you’re close to you neighbors and little shade or privacy. All RVs here, some tents as overflow for kiddos whose parents are staying in the RV."
"The park has a lot of very well maintained trails. The only thing to know is there is no cell reception because of the valley."
"Water, garbage and recycling (separated) were all close by. There as no cell signal, so we went to town for that. The park has nice trails that are pretty well marked."
$30 - $40 / night
"There is a bar and restaurant within walking distance. A lot of people camp there, the sites are small we still managed to have a good time. We had four campsites next to each other for our group."
"This place is priced around the same as other places you might camp around Wisconsin and I believe is privately owned."
"We brought their bikes along which was fun to hit the bike trails at midway. We did find out the campground charters a canoe trip so if we had planned better we will do that next time."
ScoutThis campground is unique, and very beautiful. The setting is a blueberry farm, and the scenery is gorgeous! It is very quiet, when we were there we were the only campers. Some mornings customers come to the farm to pick blueberries, but there is no bother. The owner, Steve is the best! If we had a need, he did all he could do to meet it. If you are looking for quiet, peaceful and rustic--this is your place
ScoutThe sites are simple, well separated with a very short walk, easy to take multiple trips. Going when we did we were met with swarms of mosquitoes.
Additionally it's very near the interstate so not the quietest of places.
ScoutWonderfully quiet and safe. Had bathrooms and showers. Right at the end of the root river state trail. Singing toads at night. Very flat. Sites are spread out. Within walking distance to grocery store.
GuideThree loops: north (with electric service), island (walk-to, tent only) and south (dry camping). We toured the north loop; sites are pretty close together and not that well screened from each other. We stayed in the south loop, all of which sites are well spaced and decently screened from each other. Half face toward the Mississippi and half face toward the shore, but all are right on the water. The river was high when we visited, and some of the river-facing sites were flooded out. Not crowded on the south loop, even in the run-up to the 4th of July weekend, with reservations available facing the river (even the dry ones!). Vault toilets, one each for men and women, separated by 50 (?) yards, plus two accessible porta-potties in the loop--seemed meager for the possible number of campers in high season. Some train noise, and many motor boats--fishing and skiing--but the boat noise, of course, calmed down as the sun set. Overall, a bit ill-kept, but right on the water!
GuideHowever the one shower in women’s bathroom has a broken button so doesn’t work at all and the one has a plugged drain and there are 3 inches of sanitary water hazard at the bottom. So unusable. If desperate I say go use the men’s. What else can you do! Also book online before you get there!!!! Also book your car pass separately. I did not see any staff anywhere at any time. You are on your own. Too bad the state can’t afford a single staff to manage the place in the evening. Come on Minnesota… are you really that cheap? Us users are willing to pay you know!!! Charge us more so we can count on stuff being maintained! Otherwise the place is fricken gorgeous!!!!!
ScoutI only stopped in overnight but found it peaceful and relaxing. Water ands electric available. Clean, free showers and a lake to swim in.
RangerThe campground is super easy to get to as it is adjacent to I-90 which means you’ll also deal with highway noise. The noise becomes just background after a while and the full hookups mean running the RV air conditioner at night somewhat blocks the traffic sounds. Lots to do in the area with the Wisconsin Dells less than 30 minutes away and Tomah is less than 10 minutes the other direction. The campground itself is small but very well taken care of with a mix of back-in and pull-through sites along with cabins. Staff was very friendly and helpful giving us suggestions for places to visit while we were there. Bonus: A convenience store/fuel station including truck diesel lanes is just outside the entrance to the campground for easy fill ups before you hit the road.
TravelerNice village park with camping area. Fishing, paved bike loop for kids. Great public pool, well maintained lawns. Small level pads. Deer pens for animal viewing on site.
GuideViews were stunning, trails and picnic areas were well maintained (w/ clean vault toilets). Campground had nice clean facilities (w/ showers!) and forested campsite added some extra privacy.
