Lake Road Campground

9 RV Sites, 1 Cottage

Lake Road Campground in Trempealeau, WI, offers 9 RV sites and 1 cottage, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in three tiers — deluxe back-in, Lake Road deluxe back-in, and select premium back-in — each carrying water and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan accordingly for a longer stay. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and firewood are on the property, and pets are welcome with a dog park and a playground. Creek frontage, hiking, and fishing make up the recreation, in a nine-site campground quiet enough that the river is the loudest thing you'll hear. Trempealeau sits along the Mississippi just off the Great River Road, in one of the Upper Midwest's most striking river valley landscapes, where bluffs rise above the floodplain and the backwaters draw birds and anglers. A state park is nearby. Rates for sites and the cottage are on the booking page. Nine sites on the Great River Road means fall color weekends book out first.

Warrens Lodging

30 Villas

A lazy river, wave pool, splash pad, and mini-golf sit next door behind a gated entrance. The villas are the accommodation here — this is lodging rather than an RV park, with no campsites or hookups. Multiple floor plans are available, each with a full kitchen, private bath, and loft, plus a fire ring outside. Laundry, restrooms, showers, a general store, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. The water resort access is the draw.

Hidden Shady Nook

3 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Hidden Shady Nook on Pike Lake in Cornell, Wisconsin, offers three RV sites and two cabins across 800 feet of shoreline, with 30-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 30 feet. A single water-and-electric back-in category joins a boat ramp, boat docks, kayak rentals, beach, barn, and bar. Three back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around: the 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches, so this suits vans and small trailers, and the sites carry water and electric rather than sewer. Accessible sites are available. Two cabins round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, showers, boat storage, and on-site dining handle the practical side. For after-hours help, contact the camp host at the number posted at the office. A boat ramp, boat docks, and kayak rentals open the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a beach on the property. A barn, bar, playground, walking trails, and picnicking fill the rest, with live music through the season. Pets are welcome. Pike Lake is a 200-acre, 38-foot-deep spring-fed lake with genuinely clear water and a strong reputation among Chippewa County anglers — the kind of small, deep northern lake that stays cold and fishes well through summer while shallower waters warm. Eight hundred feet of shoreline for three RV sites means the lake is effectively yours. Summer is the short, intense Wisconsin season. Reserve well ahead.

Big Rock Creek

15 RV Sites, 3 Glamping Sites, 1 Yurt

Big Rock Creek in Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin, offers 11 RV sites and four glamping sites and yurts on the banks of the St. Croix River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Back-in categories at both amperages join a recreation center, general store, walking trails, playground, and pond. Eleven back-in sites run in 30-amp and 50-amp categories, carrying electric service with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — these are electric sites rather than full hookup, so arrive with full water and empty tanks and confirm dump arrangements when you book. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Four glamping sites and yurts plus cabins round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A recreation center, walking trails, playground, and pond fill the grounds, with the creek and river carrying swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking. Pets are welcome. The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway protects this corridor, and it is one of the most pristine paddling and fishing environments in the Midwest — a federally designated Wild and Scenic River with clear water, sandstone bluffs, and a genuinely undeveloped feel despite sitting less than an hour from the Twin Cities. Interstate State Park is minutes away with its glacial potholes and the Dalles of the St. Croix, and Polk County's rolling farm and forest country surrounds the rest. Summer paddling season drives the heaviest demand, with fall color drawing a strong second wave. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends.

Wilder Park

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. The recreational range is unusually broad for a park this size. Two fishing ponds support angling and paddle boats, with a boat ramp for canoeing and kayaking. 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.

5 RV Sites

Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and firewood cover the essentials, with cabins available for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. For five sites the recreation is generous: boat docks, a beach, walking trails, volleyball, horseshoes, and planned activities, with fishing, boating, paddle boats, kayaking, and swimming on the lake. Ham Lake sits about thirty minutes north of the Twin Cities — close enough for a spontaneous weekend, far enough that the loons at dusk make the point. The Mall of America, Como Zoo, and the Sculpture Garden are all an easy drive. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. With five RV sites this close to the metro, summer weekends go quickly — reserve ahead.

Deep Lake Campground

3 RV Sites

Deep Lake Campground in Oxford, WI, offers 3 full-hookup RV sites with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-thru layouts. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Cabins are available for guests without a rig, and WiFi covers the property. Pets are welcome. Three RV sites on a natural lake is the whole idea. A beach and direct lake access support swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding, with no crowd and no schedule. Oxford sits in central Wisconsin's lake country, fifteen minutes from the waterslides and attractions of Wisconsin Dells — which makes Deep Lake the quiet alternative for anyone who wants the Dells nearby rather than underfoot. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Three sites fifteen minutes from the Dells means summer books out immediately.
