Weekend Trip to Nature's Touch Campground

We loved tent camping here for our two night stay! The site was beautiful, especially in mid October. We lucked out and stayed on a section of the land that no one else had booked around us, so we loved the extra seclusion. Bathrooms were clean and exceptional for a campsite. Would highly recommend this place.

Weekend Trip to Goatland

I loved tent camping at goatland. My daughter and I stayed at the family site. The hosts are literally the best, so sweet, generous with their land and showed us around. We loved hanging out with the sheep and goats as well as the peacocks. We are animal lovers so it was perfect. The kitchen area with fridge/freezer, microwave and washing sink made everything easier. The site was pretty close to the full bathroom as well. None of the sites are technically “park at your site”. The family site has the closest parking of the 3 and there is a sturdy cart to bring your stuff to and from your car. This is a working farm so expect animal noises and animal poop on the ground. This is right up our alley as we love the farm atmosphere. We also loved that the farm is only an hour away from Galena and surrounding sites so we made that a day trip. Can’t wait to be back!

Western Woods is a lovely private campground with quite a few amenities. There’s a pool, horseshoe pits, volleyball net, basketball, etc. there are quite a few permanent campers there, but still plenty of spaces for regular campers. Just know that the pull through lots do not have any shade. Everybody was friendly and helpful. I can definitely see us visiting there again sometime. Not to mention that it is very convenient for visiting the Wisconsin Dells.

Weekend Trip to Cedar Hills Campground

Really liked this campground. It was very easy to get to and close to a town if you need anything but you wouldn’t know it as it was so quiet. There are a variety of sites to choose from very private to more open sites. The shower building was fantastic, nicest one I’ve ever been in on a campground. The water pressure is outstanding! Dennis was quite lovely and came around offering ice if you needed it. Lots of available firewood as well. I’m a solo woman camper and felt perfectly safe here. Would definitely come back here again.
