    Buckhorn State Park Campground

    West shore sites

    We usually stay at the east shore sites but tried the west shore this time. The shore was not as level as the east side sites but still sandy and shallow for swimming. We could hear the bar blaring music across the lake until 10 or 11pm . There are more trees now than the website pictures show so there is some privacy between sites. Mosquitos were the worst i have ever experienced. The second we got out of the car they were all over us. We used the heaviest deet possible nonstop.

    Sandstone Ridge Campground — Mirror Lake State Park

    Beautiful lake

    The lake is great for kayaking. Lots of sandstone cliffs. We only did 2 hiking trails but they were well maintained. The site was good. The 202 area has a parking lot for 4 sites and a very short walk to the sites. Fire pit and picnic table were in good shape. The highway noise is loud and some military jets kept flying overhead. The raccoons were brutal. They broke into our crates twice. Smart enough to figure out the clip mechanism. Overall good site but a little noisy.

    Castle Mound Campground — Black River State Forest

    Really beautiful state campground

    Beautiful, clean, peaceful, wooded campground. Its mid-week and there's only a few other campers here. Most are super respectful with the exception of one group that has the occasional outburst but they were mostly quiet otherwise. We saw some bunnies, birds and raccoons. Heard squirrels, owls and other birds. Vault toilets throughout the campground and one building with showers and flush toilets near the visitor center with plenty of parking. Water fill and dump station located at the front near the visitor station as well. We got here around 6pm yesterday and no one was at the check in so we used the kiosk to get the park pass. A bit steep for out of state visitors @ $16 but they seem to keep the park in great shape so for once it was worth it. Lots of space and shade in all spots. Many sites with electric and some without. Plenty of spots can accommodate mid-large campers. Its about half and half pull-thru or back-in/pull-in. We have a 26 foot travel trailer and had no issues. Mostly level spots as well. A lot of trees are close to the road and made it slightly challenging to maneuver the road but nothing too crazy...just pay attention if you have a larger camper. We dont make it though wisconsin a lot but we'd definitely come back here again. Easy and quick to get to from 94 and less than a mile from Walmart. Plenty of stores/restaurants nearby. Really the only complaint besides the high entrance fee for out of state is that it is close to the town and you can definitely hear traffic. It's not too bad considering the surrounding woods definitely deaden the noise. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore the park better.

    Wildcat Mountain State Park Campground

    Cottontail lane

    We hiked a short distance into our site. We had to pass a grassy area that was always full of bunnies! The site was of good size, dark and quiet. The shower house was close and clean.

    Pride of America Camping Resort

    Local Favorite

    We just purchased our fifth wheel last month, and a week after we took our first trip to POA. During that weekend, we booked our next trip for a full week. We loved the sites in the back (800s), amenities and the staff. We definitely plan to be back often!

    Did not meet expectations

    DO NOT RENT SITE B25!

    We were in B25 for 8 nights. We did not spend a lot of time at the campsite and when we were there it was too hot to be outside. However it smelled. After 5 days I contacted the manager. He tried to write it off as “agriculture smells.” I knew it wasn’t and I couldn’t smell it anywhere else. He visited our site and determined it was the newly (city) installed sewer line behind our camper. He did refund one night stay.

    We were in the new part of the campground, the site was level and the full hookups were well placed. Plenty of room and a concrete patio & nice picnic table.

    There was only one activity (movie) the 8 days we were there. The staff was less than friendly and there was no trash pickup. Grounds were clean and relatively well maintained. The k9 camps needed poo pick up as some pet owners don’t do it.

    Didn’t use the pool area. It seemed small but looked in good shape.

    Buckhorn State Park Campground

    Quiet spot with beautiful views

    We got one of the spots that you needed to hike out to but it wasn’t far at all. There were 2 other campsites beside us but they weren’t reserved so we were all by ourselves. We had a little slice of beach and it was very beautiful during sunset. Bugs were really bad at this time of year. A family of raccoons passed our tent during the night and sounded like they were playing in the water which was cute.

    Bluewater Bay Campground — Mirror Lake State Park

    Nice quiet campground

    Quite a peaceful campground, but then again, it's a Tuesday morning right now. I imagine it might be a little more happening on the weekend. There's only about 4 other campsites occupied right now. One group of younger people next to us that were pretty respectful with noise level. There is a dump and potable water fill for rvs between the entrance and this campground. There are 2 other campgrounds past this one. We didn't get to look around here a lot as we are only here last night on our way to wyoming from Ohio. There is a beach and a trail to get there but no bikes are allowed on the trail so we took the road. Beach is average size for a lake and seemed pretty clean but there was a lot of algae. Heavily wooded area with plenty of shade. No electric in this campground but I believe the next campground has electric. Very nice picnic tables and firerings. Sites are pretty level sandy fine gravel. We are in site 37 and didn't need to level at all. They range in size good for tents and a couple cars to larger rv. We are 50 feet with truck and camper and still have a good 15-20 feet to the road. Slightly tight backing in but not too much trouble the road is narrow and one way only. Firewood available for $7 a bundle at park entrance and the camp host at the beginning of the campground. AT&T barely 1 bar but enough to send a text message if needed. We were able to get clear signal with the starlink.
