The Porta potty's nearest our tent camping site were…read moreliterally pristine even though it was rainy, and they had a nice little trashcan inside the Porta potty and outside of the Porta potty. It's the details! The land itself was gorgeous, the lady on the phone listened to the fact that I had six teenagers and put us at the spot right by the fishing hole where we had our own private beach for the river. The river the first day was up to our knees with a current that was manageable. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very cooperative with tubing ($11 a tube) which is what we wanted to do, but they also rented kayaks and canoes. The girl in the store was the family owner's teenage daughter and she was very sweet. At one point the four 14 year old boys took off on an Adventure down river, so I was in cell phone contact after hours with the owner of the campground trying to find out where they might pull aground when we spotted them coming in on an ATV from a local, friendly neighbor. They have a well-maintained volleyball court, gaga pit, badminton court with all the necessary equipment. They had covered picnic table area and a little camp store with cold pop and ice. They had cabins for rent at $149 a night which I looked into when there was a tornado watch. We were the only tent campers, (maybe other people had actually read the weather report), but it was a very quiet campground with only a crying baby early one morning from the many RV sites. None of us took a shower, but I did use the bathroom and peek into the showers and they were spotlessly clean like everything else. We also took a walk through their butterfly garden, so beautiful and peaceful. And for some reason not very many mosquitoes, not sure if they treat for them or we just got lucky but pretty much no bugs except for some flies when the teenagers didn't wash the dishes properly... it was about $150 for three nights of tent camping which included two sites and five packs of wood. A bargain! You won't regret it! Oh and my last bit involves cell phone reception: if you have T-Mobile you will get no service, if you have Verizon you will go from no service to 1 to 2 bars randomly, and if you have AT&T you will have full service the whole time.

We stayed during the week and it was very peaceful and quiet. There were a lot of of children for my three littles to play with. The swimming area is so pretty! It is pretty shallow so it was perfect for my 2 year old and 5year old to play. Our last day we decided to float the river and it was beautiful and an easy float. The owner was friendly as well. My only suggestions are to bring lighter fluid because the wood is a little damp and some type of fly repellant. Mosquitoes were not bad at all which was great! Overall we absolutely loved Lost Falls!

Black River State Forest is chock full o' awesome things to do!…read more You can bike, hike, snowshoe, ATV, ride horses, dive, swim, camp, paddle, fish, among many other options. The staff at the main office at the Castle Mound Campground are friendly and helpful regardless of where you may be camping or recreating. I frequently camp with my paddling groups at Castle Mound prior to paddling the Black River. The sites are well laid out, and if you reserve sites 12, 13, or 35, you are closest to both the outhouses and the wood house. Racks of wood are available for $3. Just load up the handy rack located next to the shelter, and deposit your $3 in the collection box. Each site has a fire ring with a cantilever grill grate. Be sure to bring some aluminum foil if you want to cook right on the grate! The showers located near the main office are fairly clean and easy to use compared to those at many other state parks. They have a good potable and non-potable water station you can hit on your way out for the day's activities. The group campsite at the north end of the State Forest is very spacious. They only allow a relatively small amount of people to camp there, considering the space could host a county fair. It used to be a horse camp. Now it hosts group sites with large pads for RVs and campers. The rangers we dealt with at this location were very friendly, and the one high school kid who was assisting was a great help in finding where to access some of the local trout streams (a challenge in this watershed because almost every stream is in a box canyon). The only drawback to camping at the group camp, the East Fork Campground, or the indoor group camp (which I want to try this winter) is that they are pretty far from the paddling locations we use. It's a hefty drive from the Interstate to the north end of the State Forest. If you're in the area and the timing is right, stop in at the Ho-Chunk Pow Wow which takes place on the northwest edge of the State Forest. It's quite an experience, and the announcer is hilarious: "We're doing the same thing tomorrow. The same... damn... thing."

Seasonal sites are maintained by the seasonals and its such a beautiful and clean campground. "Quiet time" is 10pm, which means park your golf carts and keep your noise to a minimum. Everyone hangs out at their fire pits and security drives by and says hello. WPCG is probably the safest campground around! Kids love all the activities and they have week day specials for the public. Weekends are a little different and you should call to make reservations to visit before Fridays. Always ask if there is any activities happening on the weekend you plan to visit. It's a laid back, fun getaway, but keep your speed at 5mph. They don't give any slack for that, as there are children running around by the playground and cabana area. Security is on site and do a great job. Highly recommend this campground if you want to relax and enjoy the weekend. WPCG is an spot you and your family need to experience. The staff is wonderful and actually quite fun to be around. They do enforce the rules, but there is usually no problems at the campground. Everyone is there to have a GREAT time. Hope you do as well!!

We rented a villa cabin after Labor Day, which meant there was plenty available. The cabin itself was perfectly sized for our crew of 8 adults. It was clean and even though we had brought a bunch of kitchen utensils, we really didn't need to because the place was already well stocked! We spent the last hot day of the summer next to the rectangle pool and got to eat at the restaurant on Saturday. All around, it was a perfect trip. The staff were attentive and friendly and the park is taken care of. I'm so happy to see this place is still around, I hope for years to come so I can bring my own kids here. Thanks, Jellystone!!

Disappointing Experience: Not the Quality We Expected I am…read morewriting this review because my family has been coming to Jellystone for years, and this is the first time I have ever felt the need to lodge a formal complaint. Unfortunately, our recent stay was so disappointing that I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this location to others. We didn't have many issues at our cabin. We did find various pieces of garbage around the yard, and there was visible black mold in our shower. We are used to this at Jellystone and overlook it as we are camping and "roughing it". The pool area was in a concerning state. The wave pool was completely non-functional. When we inquired, we were told the pump was broken and they were waiting on parts. The lazy river, which is connected to the wave pool, was extremely slow and dirty, leading us to wonder if the circulation issues were due to the broken pump--and, more importantly, whether the water was actually safe to be in. To make matters worse, the adjacent splash pad was so filthy that my children initially thought it was closed for the season. The most frustrating part of our trip, however, was the golf cart rental. We paid $85 a day, but the cart was essentially unusable for most of our stay. Despite plugging it in carefully overnight, the battery light was flashing on our drive to the pool the next morning. We plugged it in at the pool, but the light was flashing again shortly after we started riding around the park later, forcing us to cut our ride short. The issue persisted throughout our stay. Even after charging it again and attempting to use it, the battery light would come on immediately. We ended up having to push the cart up a hill to get it back to our cabin. When we turned the cart in, we asked for a partial refund due to our inability to use the service we paid for. The front desk staff suggested we were likely having electrical issues at our cabin, yet they refused to provide any refund. They claimed we should have called an after-hours line, which we were unaware of. When I mentioned our history as long-time guests, a rude man with gauges in his ears dismissively said, "You've stayed here many times and didn't know to call the courtesy line? Buh-bye." We have always enjoyed our past visits, but the lack of basic maintenance and the patronizing, unhelpful customer service we received this time are unacceptable. Do better, Jellystone.

Long Review, but read it for good information…read more Nice, small inexpensive, clean and quiet RV park. Hosts: Super nice and inviting/accommodating. There was a heavy rain the day we were booked and out site held water. He was out there with a sump pump when we arrived. They placed us in a temporary site and the next day the host mowed and blew pine needles from our site so it was ready for us. Bath House: clean with good pressure. Laundry: 1 washer ($1.50) 1 dryer ($1.00) Commercial Grade machines. Never had to wait to get our laundry done. Firewood: $5/bundle. Nearby: Short drive to Tomah (Starbucks for the wife), Fort McCoy, Sparta, Wilton (for the Sparta-Elroy bicycle trails). There is a small bar across the street/walking distance. Haven't tried it yet, but I will add when we do. Host recommended Smitty's for lunch or dinner. It was an excellent suggestion, with inexpensive meals and great service. Internet: Haven't tried theirs. Our Starlink Roaming worked great here in both sites we were in. Here are the cons: Water had a metallic taste/smell to it. If you don't like that, I recommend bringing extra bottled water. Mosquitoes are vicious here. Lots of standing water in the cranberry bogs and marshes, so they are abundant. Small sites, though plenty of room for me to put out my corn hole boards and play. Turns are tight. I recommend. Update 26 July for Cons: My neighbor learned a less than desirable lesson. Not all campsites have individual breakers. He left the campsite early in the morning to venture around, and the camper on the other side of him pulled out while he was on the town. Both sites were on the same breaker. When they unplugged from the site, they cut the breaker as they should. However, my neighbors power was cut as well. And he was gone all day. No pets involved, but that is another reason to have a pet monitor in your camper.
