Apple River Family Campground

6 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available at Apple River Family Campground in Somerset, Wisconsin, where nightly rates run $30 to $150 and the season runs from May 15 through October 1. The campground accommodates RVs up to 55 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, plus a dump station near the entrance. Access to some river-front sites is narrow and can be tricky for larger rigs, so drivers towing longer trailers should approach carefully.

The campground splits into two distinct areas: an upper section called "The Meadows," where mature trees provide partial shade at each site, and a lower level along the Apple River, which draws more social traffic and offers heavier tree cover. River-front sites are in high demand. Tubing is a central draw, with a shuttle to the put-in and a roughly two-and-a-half to three-hour float that ends right at the campground. Two heated pools round out the on-site water options. River's Edge Campground and Float-Rite Park are both within two miles for campers comparing options along the river corridor.

Noise levels vary. Weekday stays tend to run quieter, and as Lisa D. puts it, "Very quiet and nice, we were right on the river." Weekend crowds can bring louder neighbors, and at least one reviewer noted litter entering the water from nearby campers. Security patrols do make rounds on busy weekends. Dirt sites can turn muddy after rain, so waterproof footwear is worth packing.

Campers regularly cited excellent riverside sites and family-friendly tubing activities as major draws. The heated pools and river access receive consistent praise, though some noted aging facilities and occasional noise from other guests.

The Meadows.

We stayed in the upper level “The meadows” it was nice and relaxing, each site had a mature tree for shade, there were times when the sun was high that we needed to rely on a canopy, but over all excellent and quiet!. The pool was great and the staff was great! There was security that made rounds throughout the weekend. We went to check out the lower level campsites and they had much more shady areas, but also a bit more busy, with friendly folks who like to be a bit more social. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Get A Water View Site!

We went here in 2020 so the amenities were closed and I cannot review that.

The road to get to our water view site (69) was narrow and tricky with the camper but it was worth it for that peaceful view!

There was one night where a bunch of rowdy folks camped and threw their beer cans and trash in the river. We kept seeing it float by. I wasn't a fan of that but they left the next day so most nights were peaceful, calm and you could hear the river.

If you pick the right weekend, it can be peaceful

We had a river front site (63) and the river sites are AMAZING! The tubing is obviously fun and this campground has tree cover unlike anything I’ve ever seen!

When we first arrived Friday, our site didn’t happen to have any campers around us but Saturday night we did have some directly next to us and they played music inconsiderably loud.
The management and staff were nice but they also had little patience it seemed. Also the clubhouse and surrounding structures are falling apart and make the site look old and unkept. It needs to be cleaner is my only complaint.
