    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    No equestrian-friendly campgrounds with designated horse facilities exist in the immediate Fall Creek, Wisconsin area based on available data. Campgrounds in the region including Lake Wissota State Park, Wedges Creek Hideaway, Highland Ridge, Pietrek County Park, and Eau Galle Lake lack horse corrals or dedicated equestrian accommodations. The campground data shows these locations support various camping styles including tent, RV, and cabin options, but none specifically list equestrian facilities or horse-friendly amenities among their features.

    For horse owners seeking horse camping options near Fall Creek, the nearest alternatives would require bringing portable corrals or investigating private equestrian facilities that might permit overnight stays. Trail riders should contact the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for information about public lands that permit both camping and horses, as state forests sometimes offer primitive camping with horse access. When planning horse camping trips in this region, campers should verify in advance whether horses are permitted on trails, as many state parks restrict horse access to designated bridle paths only.

      Highland Ridge

      Nice campground but be prepared for shade...all the time

      First thing you need to know: It's completely in the woods, and sites are FULLY shaded. Sites 28-38 are on a loop with a picnic pavilion in the middle with some openings for sun on the road and in the picnic area. Other than that, the rest of the campground is rather dark all the time; there aren't as many sunlight openings on the road to the other sites. This is not a good place for solar panels, but almost all sites are electric.

      Nice price: Cost is $20/$16 for electric/non-electric. This is an Army Corps of Engineers park which means you pay $10/$8 if you have an NPS Lifetime Senior Pass.

      Services: There are full services at this campground - flush toilets, sinks, showers, trash receptacles, and drinking water/dump station near the entrance. There is an interpretive center for Saturday evening ranger programs and a playground next to it.

      Roomy sites: This campground is small, but almost all sites are large. There are 38 sites plus walk in tent sites A through G and a group site. It looks like sites 28-38 can be rented for a group; the entrance was blocked off when we were there.

      Equestrian section may be open to campers without a horse: There is an equestrian campground about a half mile before the main campground entrance. You may camp in the equestrian area (E1-E10) without a horse if the main area is full. We were able to reserve a site in there a couple days ahead of time because the main campground was full. It was just us and one other family on a Saturday night, and neither of us had a horse. We moved to the main area on Sunday morning because lots of sites were open on Sunday.

      Lake Wissota State Park Campground

      Excellent placeYou

      New facilities and hot showers. Great hiking trails, mountain biking. Equestrian trails also. Lake is huge, walleye are prevalent. Kayaking is great with other boat ramps available. Sites heavily wooded, low noise and light pollution. Easy access to all activities.

      Lake Wissota State Park Campground

      Beautiful family campground

      Beautiful shaded campground with semi private sites. Nice beach that is a walkable distance from the sites. Lots of walking, biking and horse trails that are full of wild berries. Several stairways down to the lake, no beach at these spots but good for taking the dog in the water since they aren’t allowed on the beach. Wonderful staff in the visitor center. Firewood and ice sold on site. Also boat rentals and free yard games that can be checked out at the visitor center. Clean bathrooms with showers. Lots of boat noise from the lake and a plane noise from a nearby airport. Close to Chippewa Falls for restaurants and stores. A great family destination, not so great for a peaceful couples weekend.

      Pietrek County Park

      Nice little county park

      This was an interesting little campground sandwiched between the road and the Trempealeau River. The backstory on the park is that the gentleman who originally owned the land had asked that when he died that it be preserved as a wildlife area. His death came much sooner than anyone thought, and the family worked with the county to donate the land to the county as a park. There are about six tent only sites set back near the river, with three of them in close proximity to each other (I think it is used as a group camping area). When I was there the sites were poorly maintained and only had two fire pits and tables for all six sites combined. There are 25ish RV type sites with either just electric or electric and water. Some of these sites are set up back to back in an open field, which is not very appealing. The grass had been let to grow very long before the recent cutting, so it was like walking through freshly mown hay. There is a horse arena (very muddy when I was there), and it looks like you can camp with your horses on the edge of the RV area. The showers were really nice and fairly new.

      Highland Ridge

      Clean and relatively quiet

      Lots of RV campers, but none were obnoxious. T-mobile service is almost non-existent depending on location. The showers and bathrooms were spotless. Firewood is available at several roadside stands just outside the entrance.

      Eau Galle Lake Spring Valley

      Nice quiet campground.

      Run by the Army Corp of Engineers, it’s a nice quiet campground. Good host. Horse camping and trails too. Private Firewood sources are right at the entrance. Bathrooms and water. Clean. Nice reservoir for kayaking. Good amount of quiet areas you can hike too with picnic tables.

      Lake Wissota State Park Campground

      Smaller scale park but lots to do

       This park is on a smaller scale and less crowded than Devil’s Lake. There is a small beach that is in the process of renovation. The sites are large surrounded by trees and very private. The sites on the lake side are not electric and some of them are huge buddy sites, great for extended families. There are two shower houses in the campground located next to sites 29 or 72. If you are on the legs furthest from the lake it is a long walk to them, but all those sites have electric. There are two vault toilet locations and a total of 116 campsites all with a picnic table and fire ring. There is a very large playing field and a playground in the Family Campground and another playground past the beach near the fishing dock. This State Park has a large number of picnic shelters and picnic grounds with picnic tables. There are about 10 hiking trails. There is a boat launch and you can rent kayaks or canoes at the visitor center. Everything was kept clean and in good repair. Cell service for both AT&T and Verizon was strong enough to stream video. If you want to take a trip to town, there are about 5 no longer than a 10 mile distance. There was a large grocery store in Chippewa Falls. Only ice and firewood are available at the park.

      Lake Wissota State Park Campground

      Fantastic view of the lake

      Continuing my quest to visit as many Wisconsin state parks as possible. I stopped by here to check out the campsites for potential future camping and look over the park. When I found was a very well-maintained park, love the viewing area of the lake. Campsites looked good as well.

      Lake Wissota State Park Campground

      Close to activities, a place to stay

      The park itself is small and non-descript, not photogenic. The trail along the lake is nice for walking - it is a ridge above the lake with some nice views. Otherwise, the campsites were OK. Ours was secondary growth scrub with moderate shade. Others had nicer trees. Not a ton of birdlife. A lot of people staying there appeared to be there for golfing at nearby courses. Proximity to Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls is convenient. We enjoyed using the Old Abe bike trail. An entry point is near the park and there is a parking lot with clean restroom there. The trail goes for miles in either direction and is paved and well maintained.

    Guide to Fall Creek

    Near Fall Creek, Wisconsin, campgrounds sit within a landscape of mixed hardwood forests and rolling farmland. The area maintains moderate summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak camping season. Fall Creek's location in west-central Wisconsin positions campers within proximity to both woodlands and waterways while staying approximately 15 miles east of Eau Claire.

    What to do

    Trail exploration: At Lake Wissota State Park Campground, hikers can access multiple trail systems through various ecosystems. "Lots of walking, biking and horse trails that are full of wild berries. Several stairways down to the lake, no beach at these spots but good for taking the dog in the water since they aren't allowed on the beach," notes Donella L. who found the trails easily accessible from the campsites.

    Paddling: Highland Ridge - Eau Galle Reservoir offers non-motorized boating opportunities on a small, peaceful lake. As David E. mentions, "This campground is well maintained and a beautiful park within the woods. Great for hiking and kayaking/canoeing is near by." The reservoir restricts gas motors, creating a quiet environment for paddlers.

    Wildlife viewing: While not a designated horse campground near Fall Creek, Wisconsin, Pietrek County Park provides excellent wildlife observation opportunities. "Plenty of wildlife and could not hear the cars from the highway," reports Justin S., highlighting the park's natural buffer from road noise that creates better animal viewing conditions.

    What campers like

    Private, wooded sites: Highland Ridge receives praise for its secluded camping areas. Laurel mentioned, "It is only a few miles from the highway but is a beautiful and quiet, natural environment with lots of trees." The densely wooded setting creates natural boundaries between sites.

    Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathhouses across several campgrounds. At Lake Wissota State Park, taylor M. observed, "Area is well maintained and the bathrooms (flushing toilets and showers) are cleaned regularly," though she noted cleaning times between 7:30-8:30 am when facilities are temporarily unavailable.

    Equestrian considerations: While dedicated horse campgrounds near Fall Creek, Wisconsin remain limited, some accommodations exist for equestrians. Mary S. noted about Highland Ridge, "There is an equestrian campground about a half mile before the main campground entrance. You may camp in the equestrian area (E1-E10) without a horse if the main area is full."

    What you should know

    Reservation systems: Most campgrounds require advance booking. At Highland Ridge, one camper explained, "Every single site has a sign that says 'reserved,' and the hosts were off-duty. We drove around and found a relatively level site with a very long driveway, then went online to recreation.gov to check its availability and reserved/paid for it."

    Cell service variability: Wedges Creek Hideaway and other area campgrounds have inconsistent coverage. At Highland Ridge, Deb M. reported, "AT&T service is spotty throughout the park with either 1 or 2 bars, although in the spring and fall when there's few leaves on the trees, service is fine."
