Veterans Memorial Park & Campground

What a wonderful campground! Bathrooms and showers are very clean!! We set up our tent right by a beautiful river. Paid around $23

Friendly staff, clean restrooms, quiet campgrounds. There is a drop box if you arrive after hours. Will be returning!

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. You can also take the bike trail along the highway into town. It’s a great place to stop and camp while biking! 

This park has a lot to offer and is relatively large in size. Vet’s Park has baseball fields, playgrounds, a couple of group shelters, volleyball courts, and tons of space for activities. Lots of group events going on here so this place is usually pretty busy on weekends. It does quiet down at night. In comparison to the place up the road by Lake Neshonoc, this place is quiet… Not a lot of bells and whistles but peaceful. Each campsite has a fire pit, picnic table and tent pad. You can also find hot showers, restrooms with flush toilets, river access (to kayak!), shuffleboard, horseshoes, drinking water, and a camp store. Watch for down trees when kayaking!

When entering from the highway you will pass some fishing ponds and the La Crosse River (which wraps around the campground). If you're into fishing, try checking out the entrance of La Crosse River Trail. It’s a little bit of a walk but there’s some great fishing right off the “puppy trail” near the river. Enjoy!
