Both locations maintain pristine grounds while offering visitors access to lakes, rivers, and extensive hiking trails throughout their properties. A visitor noted, "The sites are really private with tall trees and lots of greenery/foliage between each site. There is a lot to explore in the park."
Outdoor enthusiasts staying at these glamping sites enjoy direct access to water recreation on Lake Wissota, where kayaking, swimming, and fishing opportunities abound. The area features several miles of maintained hiking trails through varied terrain including fern and pine forests, prairie grasslands, and abandoned beaver ponds. Eagle Ridge Campground provides glamping guests with a walking path to an overlook of the Chippewa River, while outdoor activities at Red Cedar focus on a more intimate nature experience in a quieter setting. According to a camper, "We took our kayak out onto the lake and had a blast! So much to do." Winter visitors should note that while some accommodations remain open year-round, many glamping options operate seasonally from May through October when warmer temperatures allow for the most comfortable luxury outdoor stays.
