Hidden Meadows RV Park & Campground

35 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Hidden Meadows RV Park and Campground sits along the middle fork of the Zumbro River in Pine Island, Minnesota, about 15 minutes from Rochester and the Mayo Clinic—a location that makes it unusually practical as both a destination camping park and a home base for families with medical appointments at one of the world's most visited healthcare facilities. The hidden meadows rv park balances that practical function with genuine recreation, set among the wooded creek valleys of southeastern Minnesota's driftless landscape. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service accommodate all rig sizes, and the park offers back-in, pull-through, and long-term site options for guests whose stays extend from weekends into months. A camp store stocked with groceries, ice cream, and firewood, 24/7 showers and laundry, a fenced dog park, playground, and basketball hoop provide the daily-use amenities. The recreation hall steps it up with pool tables, ping pong, and an arcade, and outdoor games throughout the property—Giant Jenga, Giant 4 Across, bean bag toss, volleyball, and horseshoes—keep guests active without requiring a drive anywhere. Walking trails along the Zumbro River and access to the nearby Douglas State Trail round out the natural recreation options, and the park hosts organized activities and events through Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day weekends. The Zumbro River valley around Pine Island is part of the Minnesota Driftless—a landscape of steep wooded bluffs, cold trout streams, and farmland that escaped the flattening effect of the last glaciation and retained the varied terrain that defines southeastern Minnesota's character. Pine Island sits in Goodhue County between Rochester and the Twin Cities, close enough to both to serve as a practical base and far enough into the countryside to feel genuinely rural. The river trail through the campground is the heart of the property, and the sound of the Zumbro moving past wooded banks sets the tone for an experience more focused on natural setting than programmed entertainment. Rochester is a 15-minute drive and provides not only Mayo Clinic access but also the full amenity set of a mid-sized Minnesota city—the Rochester Art Center, the Plummer Building's historic interiors, a walkable downtown with excellent restaurants, and the Quarry Hill Nature Center for additional trail and natural history access. The Douglas State Trail follows an abandoned railroad corridor through the countryside connecting Pine Island to Rochester, providing a flat, paved multi-use trail that is ideal for cycling and walking. Whitewater State Park, about 40 minutes south, protects some of the most dramatic bluff-and-valley terrain in Minnesota and supports trout fishing in Trout Run Creek. Hidden Meadows RV Park operates through the Minnesota camping season with peak activity from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Long-term site availability makes it a reliable option for Mayo Clinic patients and families whose medical situations call for extended stays in the Rochester area—a need that the Rochester camping market serves less consistently than might be expected given the city's national medical draw. Weekend campers benefit from the organized activities and river access, while long-term guests appreciate the practical amenities and the natural setting of the Zumbro corridor.

Big Rock Creek

15 RV Sites, 3 Glamping Sites, 1 Yurt

Big Rock Creek in Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin, provides a natural, river-centered camping retreat on the banks of the St. Croix River in Polk County, where the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway's protected corridor delivers one of the Midwest's most pristine paddling and fishing environments in a landscape that has been federally protected since 1968 as one of the original components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Positioned at the gateway to the St. Croix River's upper segment, the campground serves paddlers, anglers, hikers, and nature-oriented travelers who prioritize the authentic river experience over resort-scale amenities. The campground accommodates guests in cabin rentals alongside tent and RV sites, with amenities calibrated to the outdoor recreation lifestyle the St. Croix River corridor demands: a general store for resupply, showers, bathrooms, Wi-Fi, firewood, and access to the river and a pond for fishing and non-motorized watercraft. Walking trails through the surrounding woodland and a playground serve guests whose camping agendas include both structured outdoor activity and the unhurried pace that river-adjacent camping encourages when the current of the St. Croix itself provides the day's primary entertainment. Pet-friendly policies welcome the outdoor recreation dogs that Wisconsin river camping characteristically attracts. The St. Croix River flows through a glaciated landscape of sandstone bluffs, clear cold water, and dense conifer and mixed hardwood forest that defines the visual character of the upper Midwest's most celebrated river corridor. The river's exceptional water quality—maintained by the restricted development that National Scenic Riverway designation enforces along both the Wisconsin and Minnesota shorelines—supports wild trout populations in the cold upper reaches, walleye and smallmouth bass in the middle river sections near Saint Croix Falls, and the canoe camping culture that has made the St. Croix one of the Midwest's most beloved paddling destinations for multi-day river trips. Interstate State Park in Saint Croix Falls, the oldest state park in Wisconsin, protects the dramatic Dalles of the St. Croix where the river carved a spectacular basalt gorge with glacial potholes carved by swirling boulders in the receding glacial meltwater—a geological display accessible from the park's trail system directly above the river. The Gandy Dancer Trail, a 98-mile multi-use rail-trail extending from Saint Croix Falls north to Superior along a converted railroad grade, provides biking and hiking access through the wooded Polk and Burnett county lake country. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are accessible approximately 60 miles southwest. Big Rock Creek operates seasonally from spring through fall in northwestern Wisconsin's four-season continental climate, with the St. Croix River's paddling season typically running from May through October and the best water levels for canoe and kayak descents occurring in May and June when snowmelt sustains the river's flow. Summer's warmth drives peak demand for river swimming and family camping in the clear St. Croix waters, and fall's hardwood foliage transforms the river corridor into one of the upper Midwest's most scenic landscapes through October. The campground's riverside character and proximity to Saint Croix Falls' outdoor recreation amenities make it a natural choice for paddlers planning St. Croix River multi-day descents.

Whiskey Creek Family RV Park

39 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 1 Glamping Site

Whiskey Creek Family RV Park in Sparta, Wisconsin, offers 39 RV sites, two cabins, and a glamping site across 38.5 wooded acres along the Little La Crosse River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A one-acre lined swim pond with an Aquaglide aqua park anchors an unusually deep amenity set behind a gated entrance. Thirty-nine back-in sites run in full-hookup and water-and-electric categories carrying 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two cabins and a glamping site round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, recycling, and site WiFi handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. The recreation is the reason to book. A one-acre lined swim pond with an Aquaglide inflatable aqua park anchors the summer, with a beach, water park, and inflatable water toys besides. A ninja slack line, gaga ball, playground, dog park, sports courts, volleyball, and basketball fill the grounds, with a golf driving range, bike rentals, walking trails, hiking, and biking from the property. A camp store, bar, and snack bar serve pizza, ice cream, a Friday fish fry, and beachside treats, with live music and planned activities through the season. The park also operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Sparta wears its title as the Bicycling Capital of America with genuine pride, and the Driftless Region's trail connections run directly from the area. Memorial Day through Labor Day is the peak. Reserve well ahead.

Split Ridge Campground

10 RV Sites

Set in the lake and forest landscape east of Lake Holcombe in Chippewa County, Wisconsin, Split Ridge Campground offers a wooded retreat built for guests who want a quiet, well-maintained northern Wisconsin camping experience with direct access to some of the region's most productive fresh water fishing and paddling resources. Shaded sites with gravel driveways provide a stable and comfortable surface across multiple site types, and the campground's relaxed and community-oriented atmosphere gives it a character that rewards repeat visitors who return season after season for the combination of wooded solitude and water access. The campground's signature amenity is the Turtle Club—an open-air shelter constructed over a small pond with turtles, providing an informal gathering space with a distinctly Wisconsin character. A horseshoe pit, fire rings at each site, and additional outdoor game areas give guests recreational programming without leaving the campground grounds, while full hookups, Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, and clean restrooms and showers handle the practical infrastructure of a comfortable multi-night stay. Firewood is available on-site, and the general campground character favors a relaxed outdoor pace appropriate to a northern Wisconsin forest setting. Lake Holcombe, the primary water body in the immediate area, is a reservoir on the Chippewa River formed by a hydroelectric dam that creates a productive freshwater fishery for walleye, muskie, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, and bluegill. The lake's connected bays and wooded shoreline offer excellent kayaking and canoeing conditions for paddle-oriented guests, and the boat launch infrastructure on Lake Holcombe provides straightforward water access for guests arriving with their own vessels. The adjacent Chippewa Flowage—one of Wisconsin's largest and most productive natural lakes—is accessible within a short drive and represents one of the premier muskie fishing destinations in the upper Midwest. The forested landscape of Chippewa County surrounding the campground is characteristic of northern Wisconsin's mixed pine and hardwood lake country—a terrain of glacially deposited ridges, kettle lakes, and river systems that defines the outdoor character of this portion of the state and provides habitat for white-tailed deer, black bears, eagles, loons, and an exceptionally diverse freshwater fishing community. The Tuscobia State Trail, a converted railroad grade extending through the region, provides a long-distance hiking, cycling, and snowmobile corridor for guests seeking off-water recreation in the surrounding forest landscape. Split Ridge Campground is open through the northern Wisconsin warm-weather season, with the lake and forest environment most accessible from late spring through early fall. Fishing season on Lake Holcombe and the Chippewa Flowage drives consistent weekend demand from opening in early May through the fall walleye and muskie peaks of September and October. The fall color season in Chippewa County's mixed forest landscape is particularly beautiful, and leaf-change weekends in late September and early October represent a popular shoulder-season reservation window. Advance booking for summer holiday weekends and the peak muskie fishing season is recommended for guests with preferred site locations in mind.

Red Barn Campground & Restaurant

33 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

On the bluffs above the Mississippi River in the northeastern Iowa town of Lansing, Red Barn Campground and Restaurant brings together a genuine camping experience and a working restaurant operation in a setting that takes full advantage of the scenic drama of the Great River Road. The campground's signature feature is a beautifully converted early-1900s barn that houses the office, arcade, and bar alongside the on-site restaurant—open Thursday through Sunday—serving as a social focal point for guests who find that a good meal at the end of a river day is worth something. With over 100 sites and easy access to the Mississippi just two miles down the road, this is one of the Upper Midwest's more distinctive camping destinations. Sites at Red Barn are primarily grass pull-throughs on level gravel access roads with modern full hookups suited to rigs of most sizes. Mini golf, a playground, and a spacious pavilion give families on-site options, while a trout stream threading through the property provides immediate fishing access without a drive. Sports courts covering basketball, volleyball, foursquare, and dodgeball supply an athletic outlet, and the barn's arcade keeps younger campers occupied on slower afternoons. Boat rentals are available for those who want to make the short trip to the river itself. Walking trails wind through the wooded grounds, and cabins offer a comfortable alternative to tents or rigs for guests who prefer a roof overhead. The Mississippi River bluff country of northeastern Iowa is among the most scenic river landscapes in the Midwest. Lansing sits at the base of dramatic bluffs that rise steeply from the floodplain, and the views from the heights above town extend across the river into Wisconsin. Effigy Mounds National Monument—preserving the earthwork mounds built by Indigenous people along the river corridor over two thousand years—is a short drive north and among the most quietly moving historic sites in the region. The riverfront is excellent for birding, particularly during spring and fall migration when bald eagles, American white pelicans, and waterfowl concentrate along the Mississippi in large numbers. The town of Lansing has the honest character of a small Mississippi River community—local bars, bait shops, and riverside restaurants without the polish of a tourist destination. The wider region stretches toward the Iowa wine and craft beer trail, where small-scale wineries and breweries have established themselves in the Driftless Area's hills. The Great River Road scenic byway—one of the country's oldest designated scenic routes—runs directly through Lansing and connects to river towns in both directions for leisurely day-drive exploration. Wisconsin's river towns and the bluff country of Minnesota's Hiawatha Valley are reachable for those who want to follow the river further. Red Barn operates seasonally and draws a strong local following that supplements destination campers who come specifically for the Mississippi River setting. Weekend reservations are recommended, and summer weekends fill well in advance. Whether you're driving the Great River Road, chasing the Mississippi bass and walleye fishery, or looking for a campground with a genuinely good burger at the end of the day, Red Barn in Lansing makes a strong case for stopping and staying. Book a site and see the river country at its best.

Wilder Park

52 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites

Wilder Park in Allison, Iowa, offers 51 RV sites and six tent sites across 88 acres, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric categories in both back-in and pull-through join two fishing ponds, a disc golf course, mini-golf, and a storm shelter. Fifty-one sites run in 30/50-amp water-and-electric back-in, water-electric-and-sewer back-in, and water-electric-and-sewer pull-through categories, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and site WiFi. Six tent sites round out the accommodations. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, and a storm shelter sits on the grounds — a genuine safety feature in Iowa.

A disc golf course, mini-golf, ball field, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, dog park, library, and community fire pit fill the 88 acres, with planned activities through the season. Off-roading is nearby. Pets are welcome. Allison sits on Iowa Highway 3 in Butler County, and the park works as both a genuine destination and a practical overnight for travelers crossing the state. The J&C Grocery, Allison Variety Store, and municipal swimming pool are in town, with Waverly 25 minutes away, Cedar Falls 35, Mason City 60, and five golf courses in the area. Summer is peak. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Wheelers RV Park

15 RV Sites

Wheelers RV Park in Wascott, Wisconsin, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites on spacious oversized lots with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, positioned directly on one of Douglas County's top ATV and UTV trail systems. Weekly, monthly, and seasonal stays are the park's core business. Fifteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 70 feet. The lots are genuinely oversized, which is the configuration extended-stay guests in northern Wisconsin look for — room for the rig, the trailer, and the machines without crowding a neighbor. Weekly, monthly, and seasonal rates are available. Pets are welcome. Trail access is the reason to book. The park sits directly on one of the best ATV and UTV trail systems in the county, so riders can leave from their site rather than trailering out. Volleyball, biking, and birding fill the rest, with a golf course nearby. Wascott sits in Douglas County in the Northwoods lake district, where jack pine and red pine forest, hundreds of miles of managed forest road trails, and the drumlin lakes and cold-water streams of the St. Croix-Lake Superior divide define the outdoor recreation character that the region's seasonal camping and year-round resident population is built around. Riding season runs spring through fall, with fall color weekends drawing the heaviest traffic and winter bringing snowmobile riders. With 15 sites weighted toward extended stays, call ahead for short-stay availability.

Two Rivers Campground & Tubing

112 RV Sites, 1 House

Two Rivers Campground and Tubing in Royalton, Minnesota, offers 112 full-hookup RV sites and a house rental at the Mississippi and Platte River confluence, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet behind a gated entrance. A Paw Pen pull-through category for guests with dogs joins patio back-in and deluxe pull-through tiers, with an outdoor pool, mini-golf, jumping pillow, and river tubing.

A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Rates cover one RV or two tent units with two adults and two children; children under two are free, an additional tent is $30 a night, and holiday rates apply. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with river tubing as the property's defining activity — the Platte's gentle current and accessible float corridor are what most guests come for. Mini-golf, a jumping pillow, gaga ball, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, biking, a beach, playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest. The address is 5116 145th Street Northwest in Morrison County. Summer is the tubing season. Reserve well ahead.

Nature’s Touch Campground

35 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

Nature's Touch Campground sits three miles from downtown Wisconsin Dells in a family-owned setting that captures the contrast defining the Dells experience at its most appealing — outdoor natural character in the rocky sandstone gorge landscape of the Wisconsin River corridor, alongside convenient access to one of the most concentrated waterpark and attraction environments in the Midwest. For families making Wisconsin Dells the destination of a summer road trip, the campground's combination of tent sites, cabin rentals, full-hookup RV sites, and an on-site activity calendar positions it as a genuine base camp rather than simply a place to park overnight between park days. Full-hookup RV sites, cabins with various comfort levels, and tent sites give guests accommodation choices appropriate to the full range of Wisconsin camping styles, and the campground's own activity programming — mini-golf, basketball, an arcade, food trucks through the season, a bar, and planned live music — creates the evening social infrastructure that makes staying at camp after a day at the waterparks as enjoyable as the parks themselves. The playground and sports courts serve younger guests while the bar and live music provide the adult atmosphere that extends family campground evenings into genuine social occasions rather than just recovery periods before the next morning's park opening. Rocky Arbor State Park, adjacent to the Wisconsin Dells area, provides the natural counterpoint to the attraction-dense commercial corridor — sandstone bluffs, oak forest, and a trail network through the Wisconsin River's sandstone gorge terrain that delivers the genuinely wild character of the Dells landscape before the twentieth century's tourism development. The Wisconsin River Boat Tours, operating through the original gorge navigation that established the Dells' reputation in the late 19th century, provide a completely different lens on the same sandstone formations that the waterparks and go-kart tracks now surround. Noah's Ark Waterpark, one of the largest outdoor waterparks in the United States and a perennial anchor of the Wisconsin Dells experience, delivers dozens of slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers across its 70-acre complex, with signature rides like the Scorpion's Tail — an enclosed nearly-vertical near-free-fall slide — providing the adrenaline benchmark that every Dells waterpark visit is measured against. The broader Dells attraction corridor includes additional waterparks, family entertainment centers, go-kart facilities, and the miniature golf and mini-racing options that make the Dells one of the most comprehensively programmed family vacation destinations in the upper Midwest. Nature's Touch Campground operates through the Wisconsin Dells summer season, with peak demand running from Memorial Day through Labor Day when the waterparks operate at full capacity and families from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa fill the regional accommodation inventory to near-zero availability on summer weekends. The September shoulder season brings cooler temperatures and dramatically reduced crowds to both the campground and the attractions corridor, offering the rare opportunity to experience the Dells without the summer-peak logistics. Reserve cabins and premium RV sites as early as possible for any July or August weekend — Wisconsin Dells summer inventory is among the most competitive in the upper Midwest.

Skillet Creek Campground

56 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 56 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Skillet Creek Campground in Baraboo, Wisconsin, offers 57 RV sites, eight cabins, and 56 tent sites across 70 wooded acres, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance. Full-hookup, pull-through, water-and-electric, and waterfront daily categories join a water park, beach, jumping pillow, and creek. Fifty-seven sites span 20/30/50-amp daily full hookup, 20/30/50-amp daily pull-thru full hookup, 20/30/50-amp daily water-and-electric, and 20/30/50-amp waterfront categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Accessible sites are available. Eight cabins and 56 tent sites make the tent inventory unusually deep. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. You can lock a specific site during booking — it shows as locked on the reservation grid. A water park and beach anchor the summer, with a lake, pond, and creek supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A jumping pillow, game room, gaga ball, sports courts, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and dog park fill the rest, with live music and wine tasting nearby. Devil's Lake State Park is Wisconsin's most visited, and its north entrance is one mile away. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Buffalo Lake Camping Resort

47 RV Sites

On Buffalo Lake in Montello, Wisconsin—the Marquette County seat and the birthplace of John Muir, whose formative years in the glacially sculpted lake country of central Wisconsin shaped the conservation philosophy that would eventually protect Yosemite Valley and inspire the creation of the National Park Service—Buffalo Lake Camping Resort provides 110 campsites, three two-bedroom housekeeping cabins, a park model cabin, a solar-heated swimming pool, rowboat, canoe, and kayak rentals, bait and tackle, a carry-out kitchen, arcade, covered pavilion, and the complete family camping infrastructure of a well-established Wisconsin lake resort where every site has a picnic table, fire ring, and basic cable TV and free WiFi covers the entire property. The lake access and the classic Wisconsin camping atmosphere make Buffalo Lake a destination in its own right for the Fox Valley and Madison-area families who return season after season. The 110 sites range from full hookup RV accommodations with 30-amp service to more primitive options, and the big-rig-friendly infrastructure accommodates the larger motorhomes and fifth wheels that the Wisconsin camping community brings to the lake. Boat docks and a boat ramp serve guests with their own watercraft alongside the resort's own rowboat, canoe, and kayak rental fleet, and the 24-hour on-site laundry supports the extended family stays and the week-long reservations that Buffalo Lake draws from its loyal repeat guest base. Weekend activities, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, gaga ball, and an arcade create the social and competitive programming that keeps families entertained between lake outings, and the carry-out kitchen handles the meal logistics for days when cooking out isn't on the agenda. Montello sits at the head of Buffalo Lake in Marquette County in the Central Sands region of Wisconsin, where the glacial landscape of the Green Bay Lobe's retreat created the outwash plains, kettle lakes, and the sandy soils that support the pine barrens and lake country that characterize this part of the state. The John Muir birthplace connection is genuine—Muir's family settled in Marquette County in 1849 when John was eleven, and the Fountain Lake Farm and the Muir Memorial Park near Montello preserve the landscape where Muir developed his passion for natural observation that would make him the father of American conservation. Green Lake, approximately 20 miles north, is the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin at 237 feet—a deep, cold lake in a beautiful setting that provides the swimming, boating, and fishing complement to Buffalo Lake's shallower, warmer recreational character. The resort towns of Green Lake and Ripon provide the restaurants, shops, and the Ripon College campus that give the central Wisconsin lake country its cultural infrastructure beyond the lake itself. The Wisconsin River corridor, accessible within the broader Marquette County area, provides additional fishing, canoeing, and the Dells of the Wisconsin River's dramatic sandstone gorge scenery that makes the Dells one of the state's most visited natural attractions. Buffalo Lake Camping Resort operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day in Wisconsin's summer camping season, with the Fourth of July week and the August weekends filling earliest for the resort's loyal repeat guest community. The carry-out kitchen and the weekend activities calendar create the social energy that extends beyond individual sites and makes a Buffalo Lake stay feel genuinely communal. Reserve your site or housekeeping cabin at Buffalo Lake Camping Resort and let Marquette County's lake country, the John Muir landscape, and the classic Wisconsin summer camping experience deliver a season of memories on a lake that Muir himself would have recognized.
