A beautiful view of the Wisconsin River while you eat! Plenty of outside seating, also. The decor is gorgeous and rustic. A very large place with stuffed wildlife, huge fish tanks, games and a few gambling machines. Plenty of seats at the bar, high top tables and comfortable booths by the windows. There is a nice menu and the portions are large. There is, also, a salad bar including 2 choices... A beautiful view of the Wisconsin River while you eat! Plenty of outside seating, also.

We Camped here 2x times this summer/fall with our RV. Very nice place that you can tub the WI river from. Not a “party” place but lots of fun to be had. Very kid friendly, but not over run by chaos. They have a very nice, large restaurant/bar on site that has very good food! Can’t wait to go back.

The rv park is very nice, right on the Wisconsin River. Full hook ups. Wide and level sites with cement patio and picnic table. The staff here is fantastic! Stephanie, the Recreation Manager and Gina, Campground Staff, both are very client service focused. We enjoyed our stay here!

We had such a fantastic experience here that we’ve already booked two weeks for next summer! Plenty of water fun with tubes, kayaks, and more. We enjoyed walking our dog across the river to the bank for a cool walk. The garbage and bathroom facilities are accessible and spotless.

There’s a great dining area for groups, and the staff are friendly and very helpful. Their on-site store has a nice selection of goodies. The sites are well-maintained; even with our late booking, we got a pull-through site close to the lodge and parking. The sites are a bit close, but still manageable with our 36' Class A and Wrangler. All the neighbors were friendly, making the whole stay even better.
