"Beautiful area with very nice trails. 20-30 mins to Winona, 20 mins to La Crosse. Not a huge site selection, but very nice sites. My wife and I try to go there as much as we can!"
"Had a site right next to the bathroom big enough for 2 tents and 2 vehicles. Hikes here offer great views of the river and bluffs and the fall colors are gorgeous!!!"

"About a 10 minute walk over the Cass St. bridge and you are in the heart of downtown La Crosse. This campground offers everything."
"Utilities were located in the rear. 20A/30A electric and water. Site was a little unlevel. Neighbors are close.
AT&T had 2-3 bars of LTE and Verizon 1 bars of LTE service."
"Located among driftless Wisconsin, Perrot SP is a great place to camp. The highlight of this park are the hiking trails created by the CCC."
"There is a rail line that runs along between the Mississippi and the park edge, campsites are away from this but still can be heard as well as motor boats on the River."

"This campground came to us through Thousand Trails Collection. At first we only had a W/E site and later was able to move to a full hook up site. "
"It was spacious and very well kept, with a great view of the lake. Wry easy to back in and get set up, almost level and took very little adjustment to get our spot in order."
"It was also VERY close to several other sites. If you are looking for more privacy, I would suggest a site like 34. Absolutely no cell service, which can be nice as long as you’re expecting it."
"The park has a lot of very well maintained trails. The only thing to know is there is no cell reception because of the valley."
$30 / night

LegendVet's Park has direct access to the La Crosse Great River Trail where you can connect onto Elroy/Sparta Trail to the east and it directly to La Crosse Great River Trail to the northwest. You can also take the bike trail along the highway into town. It’s a great place to stop and camp while biking!
This park has a lot to offer and is relatively large in size. Vet’s Park has baseball fields, playgrounds, a couple of group shelters, volleyball courts, and tons of space for activities. Lots of group events going on here so this place is usually pretty busy on weekends. It does quiet down at night. In comparison to the place up the road by Lake Neshonoc, this place is quiet… Not a lot of bells and whistles but peaceful. Each campsite has a fire pit, picnic table and tent pad. You can also find hot showers, restrooms with flush toilets, river access (to kayak!), shuffleboard, horseshoes, drinking water, and a camp store. Watch for down trees when kayaking!
When entering from the highway you will pass some fishing ponds and the La Crosse River (which wraps around the campground). If you're into fishing, try checking out the entrance of La Crosse River Trail. It’s a little bit of a walk but there’s some great fishing right off the “puppy trail” near the river. Enjoy!
ScoutLots of activities. Near-by La Crosse has baseball and softball teams from the Northwoods collegiate summer league.
RangerThis is a great campground. About a 10 minute walk over the Cass St. bridge and you are in the heart of downtown La Crosse. This campground offers everything.
ScoutTent sites are just okay. They are located directly across from houseboats, so little privacy. The area was also damp, which meant lots of bugs. I was envious of the RV side, which looked much nicer. It was not quiet due to being practically under the bridge into La Crosse. On the upside, The man working there was very friendly and helpful. It did not appear that anyone was masked or social distancing. The bar was open and patrons were next to each other on stools at the bar. Employees were also not wearing masks.
RangerJust about 30/40 minutes outside of La Crosse is a quite place called Sidie Hollow Park. You will have patchy phone coverage. If that’s what you are looking for, then you will find it here. This is a 3 part review. The boat landing campground is the one my family liked best. The park was cleaned, quite and close to the boat landing. You can see the playground from all 20ish camp sites.
TravelerBeautiful area with very nice trails. 20-30 mins to Winona, 20 mins to La Crosse. Not a huge site selection, but very nice sites. My wife and I try to go there as much as we can!
RangerNice campground, busy most of the summer. Call ahead for reservations. Kids love the man made pool. Been going here since since 1980! Nice showers. Beautiful area. Lots to do in the area, La Crosse is a 30 minutes drive away.
LegendFamily camping on the banks of the La Crosse River with shaded grassy sites, directly on State Bike Trail, and easily accessible from I-90.
Veterans Memorial Campground is a very peaceful campground. Lots of friendly people, nice hiking, and great fishing. Plenty of space!
ScoutGreat family operated RV park near La Crosse, WI. Clean bathrooms! Some of the nicest I have seen with free showers. Planned themes and activities on the weekends, great fun for the whole family. Enjoyed the nature trails and fly fishing for trout on the riverbank. Very peaceful and relaxing. They also have a beautiful white sand beach around a 1-acre swim pond. The water was the color of the Caribbean with these huge blow-up toys and slides in the middle. Kids loved it. Wonderful staff and service. Highly recommend.
