Nice place
Nice campground sites are smaller & you will need to level. Nice clean flush toilets & showers. Can hear the highway below. Road in is gravel & narrow not for big rigs.

Beautiful, clean, fun
I was a little skeptical after a negative review about the regular residents, so I watched for that dynamic. We were camping with another family so we had 8 kids between the two of us and I was worried all those kiddos would upset people. Quite the opposite experience from that review and it motivated me to leave this one to help provide a good picture. I have nothing bad to say about our camping experience. We did go a little out of season (September 12) so a lot of the campsites were empty. Most their sites are flat, and clean. The grass was well mowed and maintained. They had activities for the kids (Halloween). People that drove by were friendly and smiling, and waiving. We had people drop off candy for the kids asking parents first. We had people offer basketballs for our kids to use while they were away from their site. Me and my friend were about to haul ice bags and wood up a huge hill on foot and someone stopped their golf cart and emptied it of what they were carrying to give us a ride to our campsite. The kids tootled about on their bikes being kids with no negative experiences. There were a couple of kids on motor scooters whose engines were kind of obnoxious but that’s going to happen more and more at campgrounds, and it wasn’t during quiet hours. We had sites atop the “full Lakeview” and it was honestly surprising how beautiful it was up there. I think it can be difficult to get a view when you’re camping but those sites had it. We knew the full lake view sites were open so we took the cheaper ones across from them, but still saw the same view. There was a great amount of space between the sites we used. The only possible critique I might offer is in that specific row there weren’t many trees for shade, but the weather was cooler so it didn’t affect us, but if we went in the summer it might have been more uncomfortable without that natural shade. The bath houses and showers were great!!! I feel like a good bath house can make or break a campsite and we’ve been to some smaller ones that were quite lacking but this one was great. Very clean, not many bugs, spacious, real doors on the shower stalls. We did not arrive in season to utilize the pool area but it looked great from the other side of the gate ;) - the parks were well maintained and the kids loved them. there was a set of stairs that went from up the hill down to the office that looked a little sketchy but they were closed off for use. If you didn’t have a golf cart or couldn’t ride a bike, the trek from where we stayed to the office might be a challenge. Overall we loved it and would definitely consider going again. The sites were a little pricey but had on site sewer hookup which is fantastic.

Mill Bluff State Park Campground
Expensive but fine for 1-2 nights
Stayed hear on a very hot 90+degree day during a road trip, easy to reach from I90/94. Midweek, we were the only overnight guests. -Occasional loud noise from the road and train tracks. -At first was wary of paying for no showers and pit toilets for the price, but pit toilets were actually clean with no odor. -Spring fed swimming pond was good for a dip once you found a cool spot, but there are spots that felt like a hot tub. Beach is very nice sand, and there’s a playground for the kids. -Definitely check out the short hike up to Mill Bluff if you can tolerate steep rocky stairs, the view is beautiful. -Tried to check out the other trail near Camel Bluff but it was too overgrown to continue. -Electrical box is in the middle of the campsite near the picnic table, so power cables will need to be at least 30 feet long to comfortably reach your rig. -National Parks Pass is accepted for vehicle admission (separate from camping fee in WI) as this is part of the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve! -Sites 20/21 are great for proximity to swimming pond and toilets

Relaxed and Refreshing
We wanted to visit family in the area at the last minute, and pulled up to see if they had any spot available. They gave us a list of available options, we drove through, and picked a site with the perfect spot to watch the sun set. Amenities are clean, theres a pool table and games in the office area.

Peaceful Lake Camping
A nice camping option with a more peaceful, spread-out lake feel. I like that it has camping, boating, swimming, fishing, hiking trails, a playground, concessions, and heated shower/restroom facilities all in one place. The boat launch and transient slips are a big plus if you’re bringing a boat. The only downside is that, like most lake campgrounds, summer weekends can get busy and its a bit of a drive to reach even a gas station so arrive prepared.
Overall, it’s a nice pick for a relaxed Wisconsin lake getaway. Recommended

Pine View Campground - Fort McCoy
Pine view campsite, Ft McCoy Wisconsin
It's hard to find using my car GPS. It doesn't work well here. But it's a very good place.

Tucked away driftless
Traveling along the road from Ontario to Wildcat gave a little Appalachia feel. The park is situated above the Kickapoo River valley and is a great base for trout fishing.
If you are in the driftless region looking for camping, this is the spot.
Charles C.TravelerEast Arbutus Camp
Very nice with lots of water sites
Dog friendly, quiet and nice showers. The water sites enjoy a beautiful view across the 640 lake. You can pull your boat right up to many of the sandy beach campsites and swim right there too. Great campground for family groups.

Very nice
I arrived late in the day and the office was closed but they have all the instructions and QR codes for an online reservation and check in. Very clean including the showers and bathroom. View of the Mississippi is amazing!
Guide to Black River Falls
Russell Memorial Park provides electric hookup sites with water filling stations throughout the campground. The park is positioned along the water with waterfront sites available for a peaceful camping experience. Sites vary in size, with some accommodating larger rigs while others are better suited for smaller campers or tents. Glamping in Black River Falls, Wisconsin offers both established campgrounds and luxury accommodation options across Jackson County.
What to do
ATV trail access: Russell Memorial Park connects directly to local trail systems. "We stayed with a group for Memorial weekend. We have such a great time. Some of our group was tent camping and said the showers were nice and hot but tended to be a little muddy after awhile," notes one Russell Memorial Park visitor.
Water recreation: Lake Arbutus offers swimming, boating and fishing opportunities. "The lake is beautiful for fishing or relaxing. Right now the water is down, and there is no dock at the boat landing," reports a camper at West Arbutus County Park.
Hiking trails: Great River Bluffs State Park features seven miles of hiking trails with scenic overlooks. "The trail system is very well labeled with maps along each trail. The trail system is mostly level and I would label as easy hiking with rolling hills," explains a visitor.
What campers like
Spacious lakeside sites: East Arbutus Camp provides waterfront camping with room to spread out. "We really like how spacious and spread out the camp sites are. With big pine trees everywhere, there are lots of options for tents and campers to place their site," shares a Jackson County East Arbutus Campground guest.
Military experience: Pine View Campground at Fort McCoy offers a unique atmosphere. "Reveille, call to mess, retreat, tattoo and taps daily. If you was in the military and haven't heard bugle calls for awhile, this is the place," describes one camper.
Family activities: Hixton-Alma Center KOA features amenities that appeal to families. "Small, clean campground! Very friendly staff, very well kept! Dog park. There's also plenty of activities to do! You can swim in the pool, fish in the pond etc," notes a Hixton-Alma Center KOA visitor.
What you should know
Site selection matters: Choose campgrounds and specific sites based on your equipment size. "Our site was a little hard to get into. We stayed at site 116 with a 40 ft 5th wheel. I would recommend booking early to get a better spot for a big rig," advises a Russell Memorial Park camper.
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds operate from May through October. "The camp has a lot of long term sites on the waterfront so getting on one usually gets you into spring and camping," explains a visitor to Russell Memorial Park.
Noise levels: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby highways and railways. "Highway noise from the highway running along the river and from I-90 (while not really noticeable during the day) is ridiculously loud at night," reports a Great River Bluffs State Park camper.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Multiple campgrounds feature swimming pools for children. "With 2 swimming pools, daily activities, movies, and a full ice cream shop you won't be bored here," reports a Neshonoc Lakeside visitor.
Cabin glamping options: Families appreciate the convenience of cabin accommodations. "A great campground for a nice getaway, Cabins are affordable and packed with amenities. There is a small camp store and boat rental where firewood is available," notes a Pine View Campground visitor.
Entertainment schedules: Check activity calendars when booking. "Bingo, tie dye, outdoor movies, and other relay races kept the kids happy and adults amused. Sunday night a jimmy buffet cover band played," shares a Neshonoc Lakeside camper.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Be prepared to level your rig at some locations. "The sites are gravel and we had to use boards to level our rig," notes a camper at Hixton-Alma Center KOA.
Full hookup availability: Not all campgrounds offer complete services. "The back sites are ATV/UTV site. They have good access to the trails. They seem a bit bigger. There are a few full hookup in the center of the campground but not many," explains a Russell Memorial Park visitor.
Dump station access: Plan for Sunday checkout congestion at some parks. "Lots of electric sites, but no sites with water or sewer so Sunday checkout there's a line of campers waiting to dump," warns a visitor to East Arbutus Camp.
