    Coon Fork Campground permits dogs throughout the campground area with standard leash requirements, though pets are not allowed on either of the two beaches. The spacious, tree-surrounded campsites accommodate both tent and RV camping with amenities including hot showers, flush toilets, and firewood available for purchase. Lake Wissota State Park Campground offers pet-friendly sites with large, private spaces surrounded by trees. The park features multiple stairways down to the lake where dogs can access water since they aren't permitted on the main beach. Several campgrounds in the Augusta area provide electric hookups for RV campers with pets, including Harstad Park, Sandy Hill Campground, and Stoney Creek RV Resort.

    Hiking trails throughout the region's campgrounds often welcome leashed dogs, with many paths featuring wild berries during summer months. Lake Wissota State Park maintains walking, biking and horse trails accessible to visitors with pets, while Coon Fork Lake offers kayaking opportunities in a motorboat-free environment ideal for dogs who enjoy water. Campers report that sites at Lake Wissota provide semi-private camping with good access points for taking dogs into the water. The Black River State Forest area offers additional pet-friendly camping options with trails suitable for dog walking. Most campgrounds maintain standard pet policies requiring leashes, waste cleanup, and supervision, with quiet hours enforced to prevent excessive barking. Nearby Chippewa Falls provides veterinary services and pet supplies for campers needing emergency assistance or forgotten items.

      Brunet Island State Park Campground

      Best state park I’ve been to!

      Stayed here on a east/west camping trip. Beautiful state park. Sites are shaded and large. Big enough that we were able to tie out 2 large dogs each on 30 ft leads. The park has a bicycle path that walkers can also use that’s along the river. Our site backed up to the bicycle path with the river behind us. Great place to walk. Staff and hosts very friendly and helpful. Don’t be alarmed when you drive by a school and housing area to get to it! The park also has an off leash dog park. I wasn’t able to check that out though but have wished state parks would consider adding. Bathrooms extremely clean with the best state park showers Ive ever used (and I mostly camp at state parks across the US). If I get back to this area I would definitely camp here again.

      Prairie Island City Campground

      Nice for RV Camping

      If you are a tent camper, I would suggest going to local nearby state parks vs. this campground. Nice for a quick weekend away in an RV. On the Mississippi River and close to town. Across the street from a dog park so if you bring your fur-friend with, there is a nice enclosed area for them to run while being supervised.

      Prairie Island City Campground

      River view

      It is a nice clean quiet campground. Trails and dog park close were nice. It could have been not as nice if it was full. Sites are good and a little ways apart.

      Wedges Creek Hideaway

      Rustic Glamping - exactly what we were looking for

      This is a diamond in the rough - exactly what we wanted on our journey.  Our criteria - less than $100, pet friendly and rustic. 

      This is a sawmill that has it all - they run the mill when needed, but also have primitive cabins (where we stayed), full cabins with in house bath, electric RV/tent camping and more. Even wood fired pizzas with homemade crust most nights of the week and sometimes live music!

      We were in cabin #3 - rustic.  Yes - it did have heat!  A little ceramic heater had it so toasty when it was 30 degrees outside we actually turned it off - so it's sure to please on chilly nights.  The interior was amazing - lumber that I'm sure came from the mill and ceiling planks that were gorgeous - left over planks from many years ago, stored in a shed and re-purposed for the cabin. The bed was very comfortable with clean sheets and squishy (in a good way) pillows. A small covered front porch and we just parked in front.

      Bathroom - if you are in a cabin without a bath, it's very nearby. One of the largest, cleanest bathrooms I've seen.  He built it himself. Women's had 2 sinks with a large vanity area, about 3 stalls (very large - you don't have to squish into them) and two very large shower stalls with full doors - not shower curtains. Heated as well.

      Pets - easy pet policy. Just let the owner know and it's no problem as long as you are responsible, pick up after them and leash them when necessary.  Just a small charge for them and they were very welcomed here.

      He even has event space indoors (heated) and outdoors for weddings and such.  And hiking trails (6 miles) if you choose to take on the outdoors.

      The owner plans on adding saunas and a hot tub in the near future - so this would be the place to drop for a while if you want something out of the norm, peaceful, rustic and relaxing. It's off the main road, behind a field in Amish Country.  Lovely place to stay for the night. Very quiet.

      River's Edge Campground - Black River

      Enjoyed stay - More of a permanent campground

      We enjoyed our stay except nightly camping sites are stacked on each other so no privacy -  we heard the drunk neighbors all weekend long. Eventually left a day early, they were way too loud. Wonderful activities for kids and families, pet friendly, beautiful scenery, beautiful perm site, no room for hiking or nature walks. Bar on premises but very odd hours. Owners on site which was nice.

      Northside Lake Eleven Campsite

      Ranger Review: Oofos Oolala Slide Sandal at Lake Eleven Campsite, Ice Age Trail, Chequamegon National Forest, WI

      Campground Review:

      Lake Eleven campsite is a back country site located within the Chequamegon National Forest in Taylor County, Wisconsin. It is the 15.5 mile Lake Eleven Segment, part of the 1200 mile long Ice Age Trail. A 2.5 hr drive from the Twin Cities it is an excellent diverse section of trail with many geologic wonders formed by continental glaciation, with the most recent effects formed at the end of the Wisconsin Glaciation, a period ending about 10,000 years ago.

      Starting our hike at the STH-64 parking lot we hike approximately 10 miles to our campsite. There are two sites on Lake Eleven, one on the south side and ours on the north side. Our initial intentions were to camp on the south side but surprisingly it was occupied on an otherwise empty trail. Our late October backpacking trip skirted hunting season in Wisconsin and it appeared a few groups were getting a head start on the weekend. The guide book does mention that this site is used for backpackers, hunters, fisherman and equestrians. We were fortunate to grab the north side location moments before another group of men came thru. I should note that there is plenty of space for large groups at the north side site but as a group of 7 women, the men knew better than to try and camp at our site; fortunate for us as we could hear their drunken banter across the lake. This north side location is accessible via a short spur trail and situated under a grove of pines so we had adequate protection from the sleet storm that was coming as well as a soft pad of needles for all 5 of our tents. This site also provided excellent space for hammock camping. Located next to the lake, it provided ease of access to water that was drinkable with a filtration system. The site has a nice stone fire pit with log benches surrounding it. Plenty of downed/dead trees provide firewood. There is no pit toilet at this location but plenty of open (no low lying brush) wooded area to find a spot to do your business.

      Overall a pleasant spot to consider as you travel some or all of the Ice Age Trail.

      Product Review:

      As a Ranger Reviewer for The Dyrt, I am honored occasionally to test and evaluate products. During this trip I tested out the Oofos womens Oolala Slide Sandal https://www.oofos.com/collections/womens-oolala-slide-sandal

      This sandal is touted as a recovery sandal but frankly I use it as an everything sandal. I walk the dog in them, use them at the beach, use them after running, use them around the house, use them at the campsite after a long day of hiking… they are so comfortable that I don’t really care to wear any other sandals. The extra cushy foam, apparently called Oofoam, really does make your feet and legs feel better. The thick sole took a little bit getting used to but like a day not a week. The grippy bottoms give you great traction on all surfaces and my feet fit comfortably yet snugly in the slide, no worries about them slipping off. For our backpacking trip they were a great post 6-8 hr hike shoe. I’d throw off my hiking shoes and throw on the sandals. I really felt this allowed for a quicker recovery and less leg pain and fatigue for the next days hike. What was also great was popping them off right before I got in the tent. No struggling with wet muddy shoes as I crawl into my ultralight 2p tent (aka no room at all). Speaking of light, these puppies were attached to the outside of my pack and added a whopping 10 ounces. As far as the pricing goes these tend to be mid to upper range compared to other recovery sandals. I’ve had a different brand of sandal at a similar price and while nice they only lasted a couple years. For the pricing and the fact that they’re not used for hard use (hiking, running, etc.) I feel they should have lasted longer. Only time will tell if these Oofos will do the same. If they do last longer than they are worth the price.

    Guide to Augusta

    Augusta's camping area sits within Wisconsin's Driftless Region at around 1,000 feet elevation, characterized by rolling hills and river valleys formed by glacial meltwater. The Eau Claire River runs through this area, creating multiple water recreation opportunities at campgrounds within 20 miles of Augusta, where summer temperatures typically range from 55-85°F.

    What to do

    Water activities on Coon Fork Lake: Coon Fork Campground offers a unique motorboat-free lake experience. "No outboard motors allowed on this lake. Canoe and rowboat rentals are available at the office," notes reviewer Brook. The lake provides excellent opportunities for paddling with "two great beaches on a small, no-motor lake with a large campground and several nature trails."

    Kayaking on the Eau Claire River: Harstad Park offers direct access to the Eau Claire River. "Right on the Eau Claire River with canoe kayak access. A great shallow creek for kids to explore," states a reviewer. The park provides a dedicated launch area for paddlers seeking river adventures.

    Wildlife viewing at Chapman Park: The park features a unique deer park area alongside its camping facilities. "The deer park was great to see again as I hadn't come across one in a few years," mentions one camper. This offers an educational opportunity for wildlife observation without leaving the campground.

    What campers like

    Spacious, private campsites: Crystal Lake Campground receives praise for its well-designed sites. "We loved ours with direct access to the lake," says one reviewer. Another mentions that it offers "large sites with trees for shade" providing comfort during summer months.

    Clean facilities at reasonable prices: Campers consistently mention the value and cleanliness at Wildcat Mound County Park. "Small informal county campground. Pit toilet only. Large spaces. Only seven dollars a night," notes one reviewer. Another states it's "just a toilet pit, and non-potable hand pump and six or so sites with picnic tables. 7$ a night, pay for six get 7th free."

    Natural setting without crowds: Many campers appreciate the relative seclusion of Augusta area campgrounds. "Harstad is get away camping," writes one reviewer about Harstad Park. Similarly, Rock Dam Park provides "a maze of a campsite, with a lake near by" according to another camper.

    What you should know

    Limited services at some locations: Several campgrounds offer rustic experiences with minimal amenities. "It is a rustic campground 27 sites, pump for water, pit toilets," describes one camper at Harstad Park. Be prepared to bring necessary supplies if choosing these locations.

    Seasonal considerations: Most campgrounds operate from May through October, with limited winter access. "We pulled in on a Sunday night and all but had the place to ourselves," notes a late-season visitor to Chapman Park Campground.

    Cell service limitations: Connectivity can be sparse in this rural area. As one Rock Dam camper notes: "No cell service, no towns nearby. But two local bars that were fairly close." Plan accordingly by downloading maps and information before arrival.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly water access: Eagle Ridge Campground connects to water recreation opportunities that families appreciate. "It is a great place to stay if you want to float down the Chippewa River, Loopy's the bar in town will shuttle you to and from the campsite and drop you off with their tubes at the river!"

    Recreational facilities: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Augusta offer dedicated play areas. Chapman Park features "a lighted park for kids to play at night and plenty of fishing," making it suitable for evening activities when daylight ends.

    Activities for different ages: Stoney Creek RV Resort provides diverse entertainment options. One visitor notes, "There are so many different planned activities for both the children and the adults to participate in... They have gaga ball, a bounce pillow, an arcade, mini golf, laser tag, swimming pool, skate park, playground, basketball court, volleyball court."

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup variations: Stoney Creek RV Resort provides full-service sites for larger RVs. "Beautiful campground huge sites" with "the sites are huge almost state park like with ample room for your kids to play," according to reviewers. Another notes, "This campground offered many different types of camping. If you like to camp in the open, with alot of tree coverings or in a cabin."

    Satellite connectivity considerations: For remote workers, Eagle Ridge Campground offers an advantage. "This campground has a large grassy area - that gives a 100% clear obstruction for Starlink. We work full time, so this was important for us. HOWEVER, the other half of the campground is within a super treed area, so we got to pick!"

    Pet-friendly accommodations: Dog friendly campgrounds around Augusta generally welcome pets with standard leash rules. Many locations like Coon Fork and Lake Wissota provide water access points where dogs can swim away from designated beaches, making them ideal for those traveling with pets.
