Camping books hidden on a winding road
So I’m driving back from a camping adventure and the wind picks up. After fighting it for awhile we start looking for a spot to stop for the night. One campground was asking $40 or so and that is a steep price for us. We opened up The Dyrt and found this spot. Another camping app had a great review so it sounded like the place to be.
The 6 mile drive from the highway winds through farms (hint... one is a pick your own blueberry farm). Turn into the park and the kiosk is right there. If you go right, there is an archery area and 3 campsites. I didn’t see a restroom on this side. There is a short loop hike on this side. The are to the left has a bunch of features. There is a picnic area and playground. Multiple campsites in different areas. There is one by the canoe launch too. Looking at google map, the river is quite curvy. There are restrooms near the back area and by the picnic area. Each site is very large - most with shade and forest.
Site 11 is where we stayed. We had no neighbors for a quiet night. Someone left kindling set up in the fire pit and a “bird house” on a tree.
For $5 a night, this is a very nice place. I thought it would be a campsite in a field with a pit toilet at the other end. Kennedy Park has a lot of nice features. It’s also pretty close to some local attractions like the circus or Baraboo or many other activities. This was a good stop for us.
