Parking & Site Information

Parking Policy: Each reserved camping stall accommodates one camper. All camping is primitive style with porta-potties and trash removal provided. Reserved Areas: Reserved camping spots are located inside the fence, on the north end of the west lot outside the fence, and along both edges of the east gravel parking lot. Look for white paint marks on grass to identify your reserved space. Unreserved Areas: All other camping areas operate on a first-come, first-parked basis. Officials may remove any ropes or tape placed around empty spaces. Campground roads and boundaries are marked with paint—please stay within the designated area near your unit. All unreserved campers must park in an east-west direction (required by Fire Marshal and La Crosse County Health Department). Vehicle Limits: Please limit driving vehicles inside the campground to one per space. The camping area is not a parking lot.
