"The 2nd site in has a small pond at Camp side. Potable water is at HQ near registration kiosk."
"We did the backcountry camping (less than 0.5 miles walking), but did get to see the regular campgrounds. There are other parks and waterways to visit nearby and a town nearby."
$15 / night
"The location is very nice, right next to the river. I wouldn't exactly call it a river though. It's nice and quiet, and very nice trail runs through it as well."
"This site is like being in a garden with trees and flowers surrounding the site. It had rained and more rain was coming, so the gravel parking pad on #35 was appealing."
"It was a beautiful area with the creek running right next to it only problem was there was some trash in the firing which we had to take care of. People are so lazy."
"Came to this spot with plans to drive up to yellow river for fishing but ended up with the sweetest spot along bloody run creak."
$33 / night
"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."
"Friendly Crowds and secluded spot despite us staying next to the main road for the camping area. Sunsets were beautiful looking west over the Mississippi River."
$15 - $20 / night
"All of them, including the equestrian, have easy access to trout fishing. All are primitive - non-electric.
Little Paint Creek:
This is the larger of the two non-equestrian campgrounds."
"The campground runs next to a trout stream and can be busy on weekends but with fishing, hiking, horse trails, the only setback is its primitive but being in the valley and near effigy mounds it's a winner"
"Sounded by nature atop of hill hike near Fire tower ( only fire tower in Iowa), cell reception is found up here."
RangerNice mix of sites at this park, many with electric hookups. There’s also lots of unnumbered sites FCFS sites around the park. Only 1 bathroom/shower building, and lots of vault toilets. The west loop sites (where we camped) were a bit close together, but large and level. Even on a busy Labor Day weekend, the campground was quiet and peaceful. AT&T service was good, and T-Mobile service was very spotty. There’s a dump station and potable water on site. We will definitely be back.
TravelerThis campground was fabulous! Great pool, restaurant, live music, and Pickle Ball! Well kept facility. It has a security gate, which I really appreciated.
LegendWe 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.
LegendWe were here during a thunderstorm so didn’t have the best experience. Our hill top site had water flowing through and our screen tent had a branch fall on it. But the sites are adequate for tents and the picnic shelter is lovely. The mosquitoes are ferocious, as expected for July in Wisconsin. We enjoyed chasing lightning bugs. The toilets are as expected for an older park.
LegendClean and beautiful campsite. Dry firewood and kindling available. The toilets were clean. The ridge view sites are spectacular but not for those with a fear of heights.
GuideVery nice City owned facility . City water only available central locations otherwise a delight spot in a wonderful town
TravelerClean sites with some privacy. Great showers and clean bathrooms. There are lots of places to walk the dogs and great hiking.
Even if you have an inside or non cliff side site, there are plenty of places to sit and watch the sunsets.
Scoutfriendly host, lots of place for my tent
ScoutNice campground. Book the non-electric site to have a better opportunity of being right on the water.
