The best mountainous camping in Wisconsin

·

Wisconsin’s hilly corners offer a surprising slice of mountain camping, with over a dozen spots that put you close to rocky ridges, forested slopes, and crisp rivers. You’ll find campsites like 🦫 Flutterby 🦋 Farm 👩🏽‍🌾 (370 reviews), Bad River Wilderness (362 reviews), and Healing Hills (167 reviews) that regulars return to for steep hikes, cold swimming holes, and real-deal snow come winter. Prices average $36 a night, with some sites dipping as low as $25. Campfires are allowed. Dogs are welcome. Showers are easy to find. Come for the fishing, swim in the lakes, or hit the slopes when it snows—mountain camping in Wisconsin is rugged, accessible, and anything but flat.

Viroqua, WI · 1 site · Tent, RV
Hey there Happy Campers! We welcome you to our small slice of Driftless heaven. This private campsite is located in prairie land, surrounded by agricultural and wooded property (it’s quiet). Within a few minutes drive you have access to some of the best trout streams a fishing license can buy. You're also in close proximity to amazing hiking and biking trails, agri-tourism (apple pickin' good times!), endless photography opportunities, wineries, birding, stargazing and visits to downtown Viroqua! After a long day of adventuring, come back to this quiet retreat, make some brandy old fashions and enjoy the ambiance of the stars and crackling camp fire! This site can accommodate 2 large tents with plenty of room for a camp kitchen, fire pit and seating area. There is newly constructed composting style outbuilding (please read instructions before using it) and a camp kitchen table along with solar powered lighting. Firewood and other supplies are conveniently available in downtown Viroqua. Be sure to check out the various retailers and restaurants while you're there! Hope you enjoy the camp and we just ask to please leave it better than you found it!
