Guide
Did some fall camping with friends, and there were 4 family’s. 3 of them stayed in these three sites which were fairly wide open and kind of looked over the lake. They would be great sites to book as a group, but I wouldn’t recommend them to book individually as you wouldn’t have much privacy, more so in the middle site. These three sites are E, F, and G. Bit if a corner site and you are next to some private homes.
GuideI have came here a couple times with friends for fall camping. The campground doesn’t have a lot of extra amenities, but still a nice simple campground to be in. There are a mix of sites that have a little more privacy, and others that are wide open which would be better for group setups.
Guide
The good Small campground clean nice walking trails,dog friendly main park across hwy free and clean showers. The bad is a lot of road noise some sites are very close together.
Traveler
Campground is adequate, it has a functioning shower house and private spots. I used a primitive campsite and it cost me $30 ($15 if your from WI). That was on top of the $11 non resident park entrance fee. So $41 for a primitive tent site, $47.50 if you count the bundle of firewood I bought from them. So yeah, keep that in mind if coming here as a non resident. I’m sure there are cheaper places nearby.

This was quiet and peaceful. When we needed our fire pit cleaned out theg came pretty quickly. Being able to watch the horses was very calming. We would recomend this place to others and we would go back.
Guide
Sites are well spread out, you barely notice they are other sites nearby. Dark and quiet at night. We didn’t get a chance to check out the Dam Lodge but were able to walk the Ice Age Trail which was just a path along the waters edge and was swampy in most areas. There are a couple of Pit toilets and a hand pump for water The pit toilets were tolerable to use( didn’t gag you)
Guide
We loved camping here when it was farmer genes our whole family. My brother's family and my parents. Now we can't camp here. None of us because of dog discrimination.
Traveler
Nestled between towering trees, the campsites here were clearly marked and tidy. Each site has a nice fire ring with grate. Main road is paved and sites are small gravel. Hiking/running trails are wide enough to accommodate strollers.
Guide
Quiet spot not many campers. Nice rapids by dam. Some hiking and fishing. Only five campsites. there is a bar within walking distance and firewood for sale nearby.
Guide
Small campground but it's nice and has a pool and playground plus a lake.

We return yearly for trick or treat weekend. We also camp during the summer as well! Had my kids double birthday party here and it was fun! I'm so glad the campground allows visitors. I hate campgrounds that are strict on that! Keeps us coming back! Lots of room for kids to bike and play while the parents enjoy the campground! This year we will be here 3x!

Excellent campground! Well maintained and easy to maneuver around. Quiet and enough sun and shade for everyone. Owners are helpful and very nice! Nice playground for the kids, swim beach for great summer fun, campground store/food/drinks if you’re hungry or desire a cold drink to beat the heat and such amazing riverside views that melt the weeks stress away! We will definitely be back to this jem of a campground! Come see for yourself, don’t take my word for it!
ScoutWas great quiet and relaxing

A last minute trip took us to this area and the online booking made it so easy to find availability. We were extremely pleased with the friendly and accommodating staff. The site we booked was very level and spacious for our toy hauler. They have many things to offer at the store where you check-in including: tap beer, cute local goods and crafts, and anything you may have forgotten to pack on your camping trip! The hosts were so friendly and accommodating. You can tell there is great care and a commitment to growth toward this campground. I would check out their website for any upcoming events. If you’re looking for an event, an adventure down the river or a charming wooded campsite, I would recommend this place every time.
GuideThe site is not close to the river and is very rustic. 45 US-Dollar the night includes electrical hook up. No water at the site. The host is very nice
GuideLoved this park and will return again! I stayed at site 38 which had good privacy on one side, the other site was a little more exposed. Research your spot before booking as some are wide open and others have privacy. There are 100+ site at this park and two shower houses. The shower houses could use some work, however, the hot water was on point! Lots of trails and beach access. Great for bikes and kayaks. This is an older park, with some partying, but I’ll be back. Had a great time.

Loved the whole experience, the cold, the snow, the hammock camping. Quite an event!
TravelerThe owners are passionate about providing an excellent camping experience. It is not a normal campground, sites are very spaced out, group sites can accommodate up to 30 people per site. Large groups of campers come to explore natures untouched wolf river and experience white water rafting together. Groups have a very unique bonding experience through these river trips. They have a convenience store that magically has anything anyone may ever forget for peace of mind that you won’t have to leave your secluded nature sanctuary. Guests don’t want to leave and cannot wait to come back!
GuideBeautiful, friendly campground. Swimming area, waterfall, steam, fishing. This camp has it all. Some season campers, some overnights.

We only got to stay one night here. The spaces seem close to neighbors but our site was pretty large in the back. Easy to back into. Really quiet and the lake views are serene. Nice little playground too. The site managers were really friendly and helpful. I would love to come back so we could enjoy the site more!
Guidewe did not camp here but drove through the campground while there hiking. the 3 stars is for the campground. sites were small, not well maintained, some of them backed up to the highway. really glad we didn’t stay here. hiking on the other hand is 5 star. ice age trail is easily accessible from the park. absolutely beautiful day of hiking here. during the week we only ran into 2 other people on the trail.
Guide
we stayed in the west loop. sites were large and private. firewood available at the campground. beach and lake are beautiful. fish jumping all day long. hiking was really nice. we’ll maintained trails. we’ll be back for sure.
Guide
We had a great time! Tall trees, no issues with branches. Quiet…a lot of full timers living there. Work during the day. Walked down to lake, very pretty.
Very close to highway, very quiet on week days. We had fun!!

The campground is part of a larger park. There are multiple playgrounds, tennis courts, splash pads and even an amphitheater and ice rinks within the park.
There is a lot of traffic during the day from park visitors. The evening is mostly quiet, but with traffic noise from the outside of the park streets and occasional loud vehicles that can be disruptive. Morning was largely quiet as well.
The campsites themselves are small — if you have a camper there’s not much room outside. Even the tent spaces are small.
There are no open fires allowed - which didn’t bother us given it was just an overnight stop. You can use grills etc though.
Being a city park it is quite well lit - which has its pros and cons. The back left corner where the nonelectric tent sites are seems to be one of the less bright areas. We slept fine with the rain cover off.
There is a 2 day minimum for online reservations. That’s not required for walk up self registration so you can do one day as a walk up. Self registration has a 3 day maximum.
There is a bathroom/shower for the campers. As a walk up registrant you will have to contact the phone number on the board to get the code. Not sure if online registrations get it in the email. There are other bathrooms (no showers) that are not locked that are a further walk into the park though.
Overall it was a nice place to stay over spending $100+ for a hotel room on a quick overnight on our way further north.
