    Pikes Peak State Park Campground

    Beautiful Campground & Views

    FYI When we made reservations this site required a two- night minimum stay. Don't know if that is for all seasons. Nice pull-through, large enough for our 36' 5th Wheel and pickup tow vehicle, needed more leveling than some. Some sites have power and water, ours only power. There's a water pipe and dump station on the way out. Nice hiking trails, including to a beautiful river overlook.

    Rustic Barn Campground RV Park

    Very clean and well-maintained

    General: 58 sites with various amenities. Some are long pull-throughs, some are back-in, some have 30 amp with or without a patio, and some have 50-amp electric with or without a patio. Tents are NOT allowed. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and asked to sign a waiver and given a welcome packet. The rules are extensive, but most are common sense/courtesy and not at all unreasonable. 

    Site Quality: All had gravel driveways and looked level. Decent separation between sites although they are close together, as would be expected in an RV park. Our site had a patio and decent-sized picnic table but it was chilly when we were there so we ate inside. 

    Bathhouse: Very clean as were the showers. 

    Activities/Amenities: There are many activities offered, including a dog park, basketball, horseshoes, games (cornhole, large checkerboard, and others), a barn with a television, a book library, puzzles, and a pool table. Coffee is available after 9 am. There is also a small chapel available 24/7 and a laundry room. WiFi is also available. There is a camp store with ice, ice cream, some camping supplies, clothing, crafts, and more. We were told several restaurants will deliver to the campground. 

    We don’t typically prefer to stay in RV-style campgrounds, but it was conveniently located with easy access off Route 151 just over the Wisconsin border from Iowa, we were warmly welcomed, and enjoyed our short stay passing through. Pride of ownership was evident throughout.

    Mud Lake County Park

    Beautiful park on Miss River. Great value

    Mud Lake is a wonderful county park near Dubuque. Beautiful views of the Mississippi River. We stayed one night on our way to Minnesota. The sites are mostly sunny. The park streets are gravel with gravel sites. The park is quiet except for the occasional train from the nearby tracks. Great value for $21. Electric and water hookups. Marina and boathouse next door.

    Stayed in campsite #35 which has no shade. It was a gravel site which shares a pull-through with site 36. There was more than enough parking for my TT and truck and grass on either side. The site included: picnic table and fire ring. Utilities were located in the rear. 20A/50A electric and water. Site was level. Neighbors were nearby.

    AT&T had 2 bars of LTE and Verizon 2 bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 47 Mbps down, 1.3 Mbps up. Verizon data VERY SLOW. No WiFi.

    Would stay here again. We camped at Mud Lake Park in a Travel Trailer.

    Pikes Peak State Park Campground

    Gorgeous park, small campground

    There are about 30 electric site big enough for RVs, and about 35 non electric site. All are very nice sites with fairly level gravel pads. There are lots of trees for shade making the sites really beautiful if not spacious. We had a tight fit with our travel trailer on site 33e, but once we squeezed in it was excellent. Two bathrooms one with showers, and well kept. The best thing about this park are the wonderful hiking trails. Some are ADA accessible near the camp store, but most are a good climb with lots of ups and downs. Town of McGregor has a few cute restaurants and bars, but enjoy the park and the amazing views of the Mississippi and the Wisconsin rivers. Several big rig RVs were there, but call ahead if you’ve got a big RV to make sure you’ll fit.

    There are some fantastic cycling routes near the river, with stops in all the little towns along the way. A wonderful place to spend a weekend, with apple orchards nearby.

    Fireside Campground

    Quiet and friendly RV camping

    This is a RV campground, with both seasonal and weekend sites. Coin laundry and shower room with 4 showers. They have nice level site in a grassy and sandy area, with enough tree coverage for shade but not so much you’re freaking out parking your camper. Big rig friendly. Decent wi-fi and plenty of space on your site. Dog friendly. They have a big playground for kids, and activities. For us, this was a great place for us to easily set up our camper and use it as a base camp for hiking at Governor Dodge, visiting House in the Rock, and tubing on the Pine River. The staff here was super helpful and friendly, and the seasonal campers were all nice and chatty. We have camped at another RV campground in Spring Green that has a party vibe, and this was a more relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely come here again!!

    New Wine Park Dubuque County Park

    Nice small county park campground

    General: This is a small (29-site) county park campground situated along the North Fork Maquoketa River. Nine of the sites are reservable, and the rest are first-come, first-served. Some sites are primitive, and some have water and 30-amp electricity hookups. There is one ADA-accessible site with a paved camper pad. 

    Site Quality: Most sites are level. The camper pads are gravel/grass, but not all are clearly defined. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. 

    Bath/Shower: The bath/shower house was closed when we were there in November but there are vault toilets about a quarter mile from the campground (in the day-use area) that were very clean and well-stocked when we were there. 

    Activities/Amenities: Many activities including disc golf, three hiking trails, volleyball, two playgrounds (one in the day-use area and one by the campsites). There are two reservable picnic shelters. There is also a dump station. 

    We were tent camping in November on a backpacking trip so we didn’t take advantage of any of the activities but would return in our van on a future camping trip. We were the ONLY ones in the campground at this time of year!

    Cox Hollow Campground — Governor Dodge State Park

    Family Friendly

    Perfect for a family get away - showers, flush toilets, lots of hiking (but trails aren't very challenging), swimming area and boat launch, playground. Basically a little bit of everything that makes it family friendly. Peak season reservations are a definite (weeks to months in advance for weekends). Picnic table and fire ring standard at all campsites.

    Beware of raccoons at this campground they are BOLD!

    Wisconsin Riverside Resort

    Great family campground right on the lower Wisconsin River!

    Overall my family LOVED this campground. There is a decent sized pool that is clean and well-maintained with a smaller kiddie pool with a slide. There is also a man-made lake with a beach for swimming and bigger kids to enjoy the large inflatable slides and swim platforms. The campground is right on the river, and provides rentals for canoes, kayaks, and tubes. They will shuttle you as far up the river as you'd like to go, and you float or paddle back while enjoying all the sand bars along the way.

    As an RV campground, the sites were level and grassy with at least one tree per lot. In the sites closer to the pool and lagoon (swim lake), they offer little privacy but are great for multi-family groups. We got a site with some woods in the back, so it was more quiet and private. The electrical and water hook ups were conveniently located, and the site was easy to get into. There were a lot of big Class A motorhomes, so the sites are plenty big. The tent sites are further away from the action, but have easy access to another bathroom and shower. They're also close to the river, and back up to a large corn field. There's a row of pine trees for easy hammock set up, and open grassy areas to let your group sprawl. The bathrooms were clean and nice, but they do have a $1 min for a shower. There is a change machine in the laundry facility.

    The Resort also has an extensive camp shop and a huge restaurant with outdoor riverside seating. With live music and a full bar, this made for a really relaxing atmosphere if you're not up to campfire cooking. 

    We enjoyed this campground and it's friendly staff and campers. Even through there are a lot of people there so you're not isolated in the woods, it wasn't loud or obnoxious with partiers. It's Wisconsin, so everybody was drinking beers and having fun but it wasn't loud and rowdy. The best part is the location on the Wisconsin River- you can get your fill of quiet solitude on the water, or float in a tube with a case of beer if you like. We enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back! It’s a great spot to use as home base for river trips, and don’t forget the Spring Green Desert conservancy nearby. Who knew there were cactuses in Wisconsin? Total hike is about 3.2 miles round trip, with a gorgeous view of the valley.


Guide to Mount Hope

The Mount Hope area offers RV campers access to the distinctive terrain of Wisconsin's Driftless Region, with steep river bluffs rising 500+ feet above the Mississippi River. Camping options near Mount Hope provide varying degrees of access to waterways including the Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Grant Rivers. Seasonal considerations are important as facilities often operate between April and October, with reduced services outside peak periods.

What to do

Fishing at Bloody Run Park: County park with direct access to a trout stream. "Caught plenty of German brown trout and cooked over the fire pits at the site (grate included)," reports one camper at Bloody Run County Park. "It was a beautiful area with the creek running right next to it."

Cave exploration: Several parks near Mount Hope feature unique geological formations. "There are miles of great hiking trails and two trails for mountain biking. While the trails to Big and Little Sand caves are lovely, they are also heavily trafficked," notes a visitor to Wyalusing State Park Campground. "There are amazing caves at a state park near by," adds another camper staying at Rustic Barn Campground.

River recreation: Opportunities for paddling and water activities exist throughout the region. "Some weekly activities include canoeing, tubing down the Turkey River, swimming, fishing and paddle boats in the Lake, a splash pad for kids," explains a visitor to Skip-A-Way Resort, approximately 45 minutes from Mount Hope.

What campers like

Scenic overlooks: The high bluffs provide exceptional views of river valleys. "The views will speak for themselves. Great clean park. Many spots to have picnic," notes one camper at Wyalusing State Park. Another visitor to Nelson Dewey State Park Campground mentions, "Sunsets were beautiful looking west over the Mississippi River. The Driftless region is fun to explore."

Stargazing: Rural locations offer minimal light pollution for astronomical viewing. "There is an astronomical observatory on site," reports a camper at Wyalusing State Park. Another visitor notes, "Fireflies emerged as we began to setup camp and we watched the sunset over the Mississippi before calling it a night."

Winter camping: Year-round options exist for off-season visits. "We camped in 30 degree weather and freezing rain came into our campground," shares a visitor at Wyalusing State Park about their early April trip. The campground remains open year-round, though with reduced services.

What you should know

Train noise: Railroad proximity affects several campgrounds in the region. "Our site was about 100 ft from rail and campground was where train would blow their whistle. Until midnight, trains went by about every 1/2 hour. After midnight about every other hour," explains a camper at Grant River Recreation Area. At Bloody Run County Park, a visitor notes, "First night at 3am we were awoken but a train blaring its horn the whole way through the camp ground and the second night it happened at midnight and 3am."

Site leveling challenges: Terrain can require equipment for proper setup. At Nelson Dewey State Park, a camper advises, "The site itself was sloped away from the road making it feel tucked into the trees. The downside was that the only flat space for the tent was very close to the fire pit."

Seasonal bugs: Insects vary by location and time of year. "Lots of nats," reports a visitor to Grant River Recreation Area. At Skip-A-Way Resort, the management provides "several stations set up with poop bags/garbage" for pet owners.

Tips for camping with families

Water features: Kid-friendly amenities at several parks provide recreation options. Skip-A-Way Resort offers "a beach for swimming. Boats for renting but they were out of order for repairs when we were here. You can rent kayaks, bikes. They have mini golf but you have to pay 8 dollars for that," according to a recent visitor.

Educational programs: Nature-focused activities enhance family trips. "The nature program was great for our son who was 2 at the time," shares a visitor to Wyalusing State Park Campground. Another camper notes, "They also have children's movies every Saturday night during season."

Safety considerations: Geographic features require supervision. At Wyalusing State Park Campground, a visitor cautions, "Just keep in mind that it's on a bluff so there are some steep drop-off points that children could take a pretty nasty fall from."

Tips from RVers

Site preferences: RVers recommend specific locations for the best experience. At Rustic Barn Campground RV Park, a camper advises, "We stayed in site 25 which was on an end, had great views, a concrete patio with table and chairs, and was level. Not all sites had the patio nor were level."

Concrete pad availability: Several rv parks near Mount Hope, Wisconsin offer upgraded site surfaces. "Cement pads and blacktop roads. Clean shower houses," notes a visitor to Grant River Recreation Area. At Rustic Barn Campground, "All sites had a concrete patio on it. Gravel roads and site are well maintained."

Winter considerations: Seasonal closure affects many rv parks. While some facilities like Wyalusing State Park Campground operate year-round, others have limited availability. Coconut Cove RV Resort near Mount Hope caters to "RV life style with lots of amenities such as restaurant, beach bar, water feature with floating water obstacle course, pool and more."
