I'm kind of hesitant to post a 5-star review of this campground as I don't want anyone else to know about this hidden gem. It's a public campground outside Ft. McCoy, run by MWR. The sites are spacious and clean, the campground has a ton of activities and items for rent, the folks working the park are constantly out doing maintenance, and everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. I'm not sure how often we'll get to visit Wisconsin, but we'll be staying here when we do.
This is a very nice facility with lots of things to do, lots of fun toys to rent, and a great and very helpful staff. We had a minor power issue while there and within 20 minutes staff was knocking at our door just to make sure it was resolved. Overall, it's a great facility but some of the loops are not big-rig friendly. Our vehicle is a 40-foot Class-A diesel pusher. We managed to get into our spot in the Ash Loop, but it was extremely tight not only parking but also winding through the narrow one-way roads with many overhanging trees to get to it. I would tend to agree with the reviews indicating the facility could benefit from some trimming of trees, etc. If you have a big rig, whether it's a coach or a fifth wheel, maybe even a very long travel trailer, I would be sure to call and ask for advice on sites that are more appropriate for a vehicle your size. An important note is that this facility is open to the public and you don't need to go to the base visitor's center to register unless you want to go on base to use the commissary, etc. An additional note is that Route 21 heading to the facility was kind of a washboard at the time of this review and even with air-ride suspension, we thought it might rattle us to pieces before we got there. Also, be careful of using GPS as ours was going to lead us past the public entrance to the facility, probably to the main gate for the base, but there was ample signage including a large (like half a billboard) sign at the entrance, so we got it right anyway. Take a look at the photos above where you'll see the large public entrance sign to watch for.
This is a large recreation area with lots of recreation activities. When we arrived, our site was still occupied, even though they were to check-out 2 hours earlier. After waiting for over an hour and they hadn't packed up yet, I insisted we be assigned a different RV site. The office staff was friendly, but not excited about me wanting a different site. I asked about the current rates, as I thought I was over-charged. I was. Even though they had me as being retired military, I was charged the public rate. They gave me a refund for the difference. Our stay here was nice. I can see this recreation area being very busy, with the water activities and being open to the public. Prices are way too high for weekends here. The public should pay more than just a $5 a night higher than military. Most of the roads in the camping loops need to be trimmed. Tree branches extended far into the road and are low (10' clearance). Scratched up the paint on my motor home. Once we got setup, we had a quiet and relaxing time.
The campground has everything you want, replete with a great staff who are very attentive, courteous and kind. Special kudos go out to Yvonne, who was extremely nice and attentive for our stay, here. The only drawback I could see was the wifi, which sucked. Other than that, I would've given this place five stars....
Clean campground with nice paved sites. ATT cell was one to two bars, verizon is better in this area. WIFI at office area, seemed to work OK. Friendly staff. Enjoyed our two day stay and would stay again. A little pricey in my opinion. But, is open to public and does fill up on weekends and holidays.
