The campground and rental house will open May 15, 2025. Sites/house can be booked 6 months in advance. The English Pale Campground and Resort is located along the Black River in Jackson County, 1 mile west of the Village of Melrose. The entire property only allows guests and occupants who are 21 or older. The main campground is 70 feet above the river., We have 5 rustic RV/Travel Trailer/Tent sites, a fully furnished “Manor” House, a travel trailer as well as 2 rustic beach sites that are located along the river. The property is a total of 70 acres, which includes the 4+ acre beach, a mile of river front and trails through the woods that connect them all. The English Pale opened in 2021 and is a developing property that offers a reasonable expectation of privacy. We are an adult only property, but not a nudist campground. We do not prohibit our guests from nudity for the purpose of sunbathing on the beach, campsites or sundeck, but nudity is not allowed in general common areas. Our complete campground information can be found on our main web page or on Facebook at The English Pale Campground and Resort. The entire property can be rented by contacting us directly by phone or email.

Peaceful
My pups and I enjoyed walking the beach and the trails in the woods. It just worked out that I had the entire place to myself! That was a good thing as sites are close together. Cal was an attentive host--not intruding but there in minutes when asked. We spoke about his planned improvements--great stuff coming soon. Couldn't work up the courage to take an outdoor shower in 50 degree weather but the hot water was still available. He is planning a bathhouse. Would return just to see what happens next.

Coming Back!

Where to start? It’s the Driftless, so there’s that. Lovely camping in well-maintained campground. Quiet. Beautiful Black River running past the property with a huge sandbar for picnicking or just relaxing. Nice trails provided for getting up and down from campground to river. The firewood provided is well-dried. I will be back again for sure. The best of the Midwest. ❤️
