Nelson's Landing RV Park
Overview
Nelson's Landing RV Park offers a peaceful retreat nestled along the scenic Great River Road in western Wisconsin. This park serves as a welcoming home base for travelers exploring the vast beauty of the Mississippi River valley. It balances the charm of a small-town atmosphere with modern conveniences, making it a reliable choice for short-term stays or long-term seasonal residencies. Visitors often appreciate the quiet environment and the friendly community feel that permeates the grounds throughout the camping season.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the quaint village of Nelson, the park is perfectly positioned near the confluence of the Chippewa and Mississippi Rivers. The surrounding landscape is defined by the towering limestone bluffs and expansive wetlands that characterize the Driftless Area. Being right off Highway 35, it provides easy access to one of the nation's most beautiful scenic byways. The location offers a distinct connection to nature, with the sounds of local wildlife and the rhythmic passing of river traffic adding to its unique character.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped to handle modern rigs, offering spacious full-hookup sites that include water, sewer, and electricity. For those on longer journeys, the on-site laundry facilities and clean shower houses provide essential comforts. The park features reliable Wi-Fi access, allowing guests to stay connected while enjoying the rural setting. Mature trees provide shade across many of the lots, and the well-maintained gravel pads ensure a level setup for motorhomes and travel trailers alike.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, from fishing in the nearby backwaters to bird watching at the Tiffany Bottoms State Natural Area. Just a short walk away, the famous Nelson Cheese Factory is a must-visit for local delicacies and ice cream. A short drive takes you to the town of Alma to watch barges pass through Lock and Dam Number 4 or up to Buena Vista Park for a panoramic view of the river valley that is truly breathtaking.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for nature lovers and bird watchers who want to be immersed in the unique ecosystem of the Mississippi flyway. It is also a fantastic choice for retirees or couples seeking a slower pace of life during the summer months. Because of its location on the Great River Road, it serves as a perfect pitstop for road trippers looking for a clean and quiet base while exploring the historic river towns of Wisconsin and Minnesota.

It's a nice park for people who want to just camp and relax. They have nothing to do for the ADHD crowd. If you want to go to Nelson and expect many campground ran activities, you are going to be sadly disappointed. They do have a beach on the trempealeau river... You can't swim in it because it's too shallow, but it's good for cooling off. The dump station is awkwardly placed, when you are dumping, vehicles coming in have to go around you on the grass. If you're looking for excitement, don't come here, if you're looking for a quiet campground to relax, this is your place.

This was a gem! I don’t know how my husband found this but we throughly enjoyed it and the area. It was clean and quiet and easy to maneuver around in. They have laundry and bathrooms etc, but we did not use them. We have a 35’ motorcoach and tow a Jeep - the spaces were ample wide and long, easy back in sites. Nelson and several of the surrounding townships are so comfortable and homey. We enjoyed the community and the people. The Nelson cheese and ice cream was great. The music in the park in Fountain City was lovely. It was a short drive back to Minnesota to the Eagle Center and into Wabasha to museums, etc. We would like to come back and explore more - and we would stay here!

Awesome park, in a beautiful location overlooking the bluffs and Mississippi River. Lots to do, good bars, restaurants, and an easy drive up or down the River Road to other river towns. Wabasha is just over the bridge for shopping and supplies. Big Rig friendly, and very laid-back atmosphere. Love it here! Will definitely be back!

Clean and very nice. Great dog park and location. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the trains you can hear.

Nelson's Rv park was a wonderful camp ground to stay. Lots of well maintained grass areas, clean laundry facilities and a very quiet atmosphere Would not hesitate to stay again.

This is a very clean and pleasant park to stay at. Seasonal rates were reasonable. Quiet and respectful resident campers, clean restrooms, no camp host but the owners respond to text or calls in a reasonable time. Trash containers are in the storage building to the right of the entrance. One review stated there weren't any. There are! Great hiking right behind the park at Thrive!

We were in site 27. Nice big site for our 42’ 5th wheel. The park is very clean and well maintained. The roads and pads are gravel with grass in between. There are nice picnic tables and fire rings in all spots. There is a ton of sightseeing within 30-40 minutes. We did different day trips every day. I gave 5 stars due to the campground being as nice as it was, but a few things that were not so great was that you only got 2 channels on the ATV, and the wi-go was non-existent. The trains were fairly loud and ran constantly, but honestly it got so that you really didn’t notice.

Only our 3rd year of RV camping. This is one of the best! Location, location, location, quiet little town, well there is the trains. But if the sound of commerce bothers you, get out of town. Great food and drink within walking 🚶♂️ distance. You like cheese 🧀? Nelson is the place to camp. Good clean facilities, no services to speak of. Unmanned campground, as far as I can tell. But there are stores near by to facilitate your needs. Huge dog 🐕 park, great hiking near by. J&J ribs are great for hot food. Nelson Cheese 🧀 store is awesome 👌. Thank you
