Jade Edwards
One of my top 5 favorite places to camp. Ron is amazing, he always checks in with us and is a wealth of knowledge. Love him. The space is quiet, and there’s plenty to do with little kids. Plenty of camping spots, and a lot of small town Wisconsin type things to do around.

The park includes several sheltered and unsheltered picnic tables, a nice mile long walking trail around the waterway, an "island" with a couple tables. Also a ballpark, tennis court, disc golf, playground and more. Campground has full hookups and isn't right up against the water but quite close . Overall, fantastic.

Great community Park. We stopped here on our way home on a 5-hour drive to play some disc golf. Nice 12 hole course with plenty of trees, water and an island green. Campground, tennis courts and splash pad along with other amenities.

Fantastic campground. Lots of play equipment for the littles! Stay there this past weekend when we were in the area for a family reunion. We chose a pull through site in the newer section (site 27). Initially backed into site 5 but upon getting out of the truck we decided the grass was too long and the fire pit was almost filled to the top with water. We walked the campground and noticed most of the fire pits were retaining water. We decided on 27 because it was spacious and had a okay line of sight to the park for our three children 2, 7,9. Disc golf course was fun with the kids. Would have loved to stay and play a little longer but Monday comes too soon. If there was a recent rain or rain in your forecast maybe plan ahead by bringing some hardware cloth and tent stakes so you can make your fire pit work like mine did. Alternatively you could bring a large grill grate to set in the fire pit. Ours at site 27 measured 24 in in diameter at the tapered section just before the water. Otherwise I believe the diameter of the ring was around 26 in.

The park- it is older but still beautiful. The pond/lake is a decent size. Baseball, tennis, & other sports. A one mile loop trail. A memorial. The campground- there’s two older loops and they’re honestly nicer than the newer loop. The reason is because the newer loop is in a field and on a hill. When it rains, your campsite is muck city. The layout is a bit goofy. It’s a loop, but not. The fire pits are still full of water from the rain (sites at the end of the hill) The people across from us lost power. I think they were 50 amp. We were fine and we are 30 amp. Not sure if that matters. The pricing is great though. Weekly and monthly rates. The area is nice and quiet. Just be careful which campsite you go for! Pay at the bathhouse. Cash only.

We stayed here in a 5th wheel for almost 4 months. Absolutely loved our stay. Had lots of fun in the park, fishing and watching our little boy go nuts on the playground. Very quiet at night and I was able to get a bit of stargazing is as well since the light pollution is so low in that area. Great cafes within 10 minutes, lots of little events going on in the towns surrounding the park. If I ever get the opportunity to go back I am definitely staying at this campground again.
