Managed by the Wisconsin DNR within the Bad Axe Watershed, Sidie Hollow County Ridge Campground sits on an elevated ridge outside Viroqua and draws anglers and hikers looking to base themselves in the driftless region of southwestern Wisconsin. The campground runs from April 15 through October 15, with full hookups available including electric, water, and sewer connections alongside showers and a dump station.
Shade is the defining characteristic here. Reviewers consistently note the Ridge Campground has more tree cover than the other Sidie Hollow areas, which keeps sites noticeably cooler during summer months. Sites are gravel-surfaced and described as spacious, though not all are level. The tradeoff is minimal grass, which means muddy conditions develop quickly after rain. Pit toilets on site have drawn mixed feedback, with at least one visitor noting cleanliness was inconsistent despite toilet paper being reliably stocked.
The campground is one of four distinct areas within Sidie Hollow. The nearby Sidie Hollow County Main Campground has playground facilities and is considered to have nicer amenities overall, while the Boat Landing Campground — Bad Axe Watershed suits those arriving with watercraft. Locally sourced firewood is available from area residents for around five dollars a bundle. Trout fishing in the surrounding driftless streams is a draw for many visitors. The Ridge Campground is a practical fit for anglers and tent campers who prioritize shade and hookup access over polished facilities.
