Weekend Trip to S-Camp at Turtle Head Rock

The site is located in such a peaceful area and we were greeted by cows throughout the day! Travis had a nice picnic table, outdoor lights, and wall barrier to help with the wind! Great stay!

Fairly private site. It is next to a not well traveled gravel road. No shade, so if you're planning on hanging out at the site during the day, bring a canopy. Very responsive owner.

This was a nice property but with no privacy as it was next to a public road.

This site was exactly what I was hoping for! It's secluded and set in beautiful, rolling hills. If you're looking for a very peaceful camping spot this is the right one for you.

Very cool site. I enjoyed the wildlife. I was shielded well from the wind with the location and design of the campsite. Nicely maintained and private. Would recommend to those who don't want the cookie cutter camp ground experience. Thanks!

I had a great experience tent camping here at Turtle head, hiking at Kickapoo Valley Reserve, visiting a winery, and enjoying an indulgently delicious tenderloin dinner at the driftless cafe in Viroqua. The camp site is off a quiet gravel road (minimal traffic, great for a run) nestled between two hills and easily navigable. The bathroom/shower set up are so convenient, just BYO soap and water. The string lights bring a cozy aesthetic to the campsite. My only downside was that the ground is very lumpy and slightly uneven so consider bringing extra padding or an air mattress if you’re tent camping.

Great spot near Viroqua. I was looking for a place to bike from that was near some gravel roads and this spot was easy for access to a route. It was on a quiet gravel road. It had the basic things I needed. Unfortunately there was a burn ban when I was there so I couldn't have a campfire, but I was glad I was informed of that before I went.

The camp was very nice. It’s close to the streams we wanted to fish and there isn’t a lot of traffic on the road it’s off of. I’d stay again for sure!

The site itself is awesome! I definitely would recommend for SMALL trailers and vehicles with 4x4 for the dirt road if it's not nice out. The outhouse is awesome, I don't have to worry about falling over!
