Located in Eau Claire County with elevations around 900 feet above sea level, the area features a mix of hardwood forests and farmland surrounding the Eau Claire River watershed. Campsites in this region typically see summer high temperatures in the 80s with cooler nights in the 50s, making for comfortable camping conditions.
What to do

Community events: During summer weekends, many campgrounds host special activities. At Stoney Creek RV Resort, "The theme weeks are all fun and well planned out. You can even order fresh baked donuts on Saturday mornings," according to Jen A. Another camper mentions, "This campground is definitely at the top of the list. Lots of activities on the weekend on top of the bounce pillow, pool, lagoon, skate park, volleyball, and basketball court."
Hiking trails: Explore walking paths near campgrounds to observe local wildlife. At Eagle Ridge Campground, visitors appreciate "Walking path to an area that overlooks the Chippewa River was nice," according to Ben M. Another camper noted, "Nice walking path to the river."

"The sites are huge almost state park like with ample room for your kids to play," writes Nate M. about Stoney Creek RV Resort. Similarly, at Nelson's Landing RV Park, "Sites tend to be very long and could accommodate even large-size Class A rigs. The 'driveways' are a mix of grass and gravel."

What you should know
Reservation needs: Summer weekends fill up quickly, especially at popular parks. For example, "Only campground that had open availability at the last minute," writes Anna about Eagle Ridge, suggesting other nearby options were fully booked.
Train noise: Some campgrounds are located near railroad tracks. At Nelson's Landing, "We heard two around 10 pm and either there were no more until the next morning, or we mercifully slept through them!" reports Lee D.
Internet access: For remote workers, consider connection capabilities. Pine Harbor Campground is "close to Lake Wissota" where cell service is typically better, while Eagle Ridge gets specific praise: "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."
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Look for campgrounds with built-in entertainment options. At Stoney Creek RV Resort, "There are a mini golf course and a swimming pool on site. Stoney Creek is a fun place to bring the whole family. It might be a perfect place to bring a first-time camper to ease them into the experience," advises Megan R.
Cabin alternatives: For families new to camping, cabins provide comfort with outdoor access. One visitor to Stoney Creek noted, "This was a great campground that offered many different types of camping. If you like to camp in the open, with alot of tree coverings or in a cabin that had many different options."
Kid-friendly water features: Water activities keep children entertained during hot summer days. At Chapman Park Campground, "The waterfront is beautiful with a nice picturesque bridge to a little island," writes David K., while O'Neil Creek offers a "creek flowing through it to tube, very shallow so even littles can do it too."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose sites based on your specific needs. "The 'driveways' are a mix of grass and gravel and were not very well defined. Each site has a picnic table on a concrete pad," notes a visitor to Nelson's Landing, while at Stoney Creek, "The sites are huge with plenty of room between you and your neighbors."
Utility hookups: Check specific hookup types before booking. O'Neil Creek provides "full hookups,camp store,arcade,kids play areas,beach and more. Pricey! Plan on 60$/day," according to Greg K. Chapman Park offers versatility with "20-30-50amp hook ups with a dump and water."
Access considerations: Note arrival procedures and road conditions. Nelson's Landing has "Easy in and out for large campers. Walking distance to local restaurants and shops. Just pay online. No worries about checking in," according to Dan W., while another RVer mentions, "Our challenge was that we arrived after dark, and the site numbers were posted at the back end of the sites, necessitating a sleuthing operation with my flashlight to find our site."
