    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.

    Chapman Park Campground

    Nice place

    We pulled in on a Sunday night and all but had the place to ourselves. Our site was on a small, beautiful lake and close to the bathrooms. We had a slight breeze and very few bugs. I am not sure if I would stay there for a full week and keep busy. But I wish my town had a park with everything that this one has.

    Council Grounds State Park Campground

    Nice for a group

    This was our first camping trip as a group with 12 people and 4 cars in July 2023.

    Biggest con was how open/unshaded our site was. We didn’t mind but didn’t love being as close to the other group sites as well.

    We enjoyed being able to rent kayaks and paddleboards and relax on the beach. We also liked the proximity to the pit/vault toilet and water pump.

    Probably won’t return as a group but had a great time!

    Medford City Park

    It’s a city campground

    It’s small but the sites are nice with electric and water. A police officer even held traffic at bay and guided me into the site.

    Dexter Park

    Absolutely loved this campsite

    Dexter Campgrounds was a delight to stay at. There was a private bathroom/shower room that made the experience feel luxurious. It is right next to a beautiful river and lake. Very quiet and campers are very respectful. I would absolutely recommend this spot. It was $36 for one night. They also have a place to do laundry. They have camp sites that accommodate electricity as well!

    South Wood County Park

    Nicely kept county park

    This is a nicely wooded and well-kept park right on the shore of Lake Wazeecha. We were lucky and snagged a lakefront site. There are some sites that are not well defined, with grass pads, and some paved pads. Most have electric, and there’s a dump station and water fill. Bathrooms are older, but clean. Be ready for a timed shower - 7 minutes on, and 5 minutes off, which can be very frustrating. Nice trails along the lake.
