Whitetail Bluff Campground

46 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

On the bluffs above the Mississippi River in Grant County, Wisconsin, Whitetail Bluff Campground and Resort occupies one of the most visually commanding positions of any campground on the upper Mississippi corridor—elevated above the river, with hiking trails that lead to views across the valley floor and the bluffs of the Iowa shore beyond. The combination of a well-equipped family resort operation and direct access to the Mississippi River's natural and recreational resources makes Whitetail Bluff an especially well-positioned destination for families and couples who want both camp-resort amenities and a genuinely spectacular natural setting. In the Grant County bluff country, the scenery earns its billing. The campground's 47 sites include 32 full hookup configurations, five electric-only sites, and 10 primitive tent sites, with deluxe and sleeping cabin rentals available for guests who prefer enclosed accommodation. A zero-depth beach-entry swimming pool is the warm-weather gathering point, complemented by a swimming pond with large inflatable attractions that give the aquatic recreation a different character for different moods. A jumping pillow, playground, basketball court, volleyball court, and pedal carts provide land-based activity options. The family-friendly clubhouse with its restaurant, bar, and game room functions as the campground's social hub, with live music programming through the summer season adding an entertainment dimension. Laundry, a dump station, WiFi, and a camp store handle the practical needs of an extended stay. The bluff-top setting translates directly into hiking trail quality. Trails from the campground wind through the forested blufftops and descend to river-level terrain, providing views of the Mississippi that reward the elevation change with the kind of panoramic river-valley perspective that explains why this stretch of the Great River Road is consistently ranked among the most beautiful drives in America. Wildlife is abundant—bald eagles, great blue herons, white-tailed deer, and wild turkeys are daily presences in the bluff-and-floodplain ecosystem—and the river itself is an enduring backdrop to every activity. The Grant County region extends the experience beyond the campground property. Kayak, tube, and canoe rentals on the Grant River provide additional paddling access to the river system just downstream from the Mississippi confluence. The Potosi Brewing Company—one of Wisconsin's most celebrated craft breweries, occupying a beautifully restored historic building in the river town of Potosi—is a short drive for guests who appreciate a well-made beer in a genuinely historic setting. The Dickeyville Grotto, one of Wisconsin's most distinctive folk art sites, provides a remarkable roadside attraction of national significance. Wyalusing State Park, a few miles away, adds state park hiking and camping infrastructure to the region. Whitetail Bluff Campground operates through the Wisconsin camping season from spring through fall. Summer weekends fill the campground quickly, with live music weekends and holiday weekends booking fastest. Fall foliage on the Mississippi bluffs is among the most spectacular in the upper Midwest—the combination of river valley hardwoods and the bluff-top perspective produces color displays that bring leaf-peepers specifically to the Grant County corridor each October. Book early for fall weekends and summer holidays, pack the kayak gear, and let the Mississippi River bluff country deliver what it promises.

Sun Retreats Fond Du Lac East

20 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Tucked into the rolling hills of Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine region, Sun Retreats Fond Du Lac East spreads across 103 wooded acres near Glenbeulah, offering a resort-scale camping experience in one of the state's most distinctive natural landscapes. Whether you're planning a summer weekend getaway or searching for a seasonal home base with plenty of breathing room, this well-developed resort delivers the kind of facilities that make packing up the RV an easy decision. The Kettle Moraine region—carved out by glaciers and defined by forests, wetlands, and rolling terrain—provides a dramatic natural backdrop from the moment you pull through the gate. Sites at Sun Retreats Fond Du Lac East accommodate both seasonal residents and short-term visitors, with wooded RV pads and cabin rentals available for those who prefer not to bring their own rig. Three heated swimming pools—a kiddie pool, a mid-sized pool, and a sports pool—give every generation their own lane to cool off in during the warm months. Mini golf, shuffleboard courts, pickleball, volleyball, and basketball round out the active recreation lineup, while the on-site arcade provides an indoor option when afternoon storms roll through. A dog park, trading post, snack bar, and laundry facilities keep the resort self-sufficient for days when leaving sounds like too much effort. Nature trails wind through the wooded property, providing easy walking access to the glacially sculpted terrain that defines the Kettle Moraine. Kettles, eskers, and drumlin formations—visible remnants of the great ice sheets that retreated from this part of Wisconsin thousands of years ago—make even a casual trail walk feel like a geology field trip. Cool mornings in the Kettle Moraine bring mist that settles into the low hollows, and the tree canopy holds a particular quiet that makes the resort feel considerably wilder than its amenity list might imply. Step beyond the property and the Southern Unit of Kettle Moraine State Forest beckons with hundreds of miles of trails built for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian riding. Road America, the beloved motorsport circuit in Elkhart Lake, draws racing fans from across the Midwest throughout the summer and fall season. The lakefront city of Fond du Lac is a quick drive north for dining, provisioning, and recreation on the southern shore of Lake Winnebago, while the scenic back roads and small villages of the Kettle Moraine corridor reward unhurried afternoon drives. Sun Retreats Fond Du Lac East operates seasonally and experiences its highest demand during summer weekends when all three pools, the courts, and the trails hit full capacity simultaneously. Laundry facilities and a full slate of on-site services keep extended stays comfortable without requiring daily trips to town. Both seasonal and short-term reservations fill quickly once summer approaches, so booking early is strongly advised. Whether you're after a long weekend exploring the Kettle Moraine or looking to plant roots for the entire camping season, this resort offers the right combination of natural setting and resort-quality amenities. Lock in your dates and secure your spot in Wisconsin's glacial heartland.
