CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Blackhawk Memorial Park, near Argyle, Wisconsin, is a laid-back spot for those who appreciate a more rustic camping experience. This campground offers a peaceful escape with picnic tables at each site, making it a great place to enjoy meals outdoors.

The park is known for its off-the-grid vibe, which many visitors find refreshing. As one camper put it, it’s “quiet, off the grid! Very pleasant!” While there are no showers or drinking water available, the well-maintained pit toilets and a playground near the entrance provide some basic amenities.

For those who enjoy boating, there are two boat launches available, and the area is perfect for fishing or just soaking in the natural surroundings. Keep in mind that the sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is a good idea if you want to snag a prime spot.

While some campers have noted the lake's water quality could use some improvement, the overall atmosphere is appreciated by those looking for a simple, no-frills camping experience. If you’re planning a visit, check local events, as the park hosts activities like an annual Rendezvous that can draw a crowd. Whether you’re pitching a tent or rolling in with an RV, Blackhawk Memorial Park offers a straightforward camping experience for those ready to unplug.

Excellent County Park

You won't see a lot of supervision here, but the park is well-maintained. There's not a lot of official information available (like many county parks).

Pit toilets/shelter/playground near the entrance.

Two boat launches.

Variable availability for firewood; the Cenex on the west end of Argyle reliably sells it if there isn't any at the park.

Site availability is first-come, first served (no reservations).

Sites have picnic tables (in season) and fire pits.

Sites are generally well marked, but some can be difficult to find.

I believe that current campsite costs are $5/weekday night and $10/weekend night.

Some events occur here: an annual Rendezvous (on May 3-8 in 2022, there's a facebook page for more information), a blackpowder shoot on May 15, etc. If you're planning on staying, it'd be a good idea to do a search first to see if a few hundred other people are going to be sharing the park with you.

Economical!

Stayed here with my son about ten years ago, and he loved it. Returned recently, and my wife said she wouldn't stay there. The lake water is like green paint and the river is now brackish, but moving. Got the impression of a beer drinking hideaway.
