Winding River Campground

What a great campground. Lila and Randy are so friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful with flowers, solar lights and really cute street signs. The seasonal sites and campers are neat and well maintained.||We had two sites: one camper and one tent. The sites were very roomy with fire pits and picnic tables and a good combination of sun and shade. We had a nice view of the small pond and used the campground's kayaks for a quick paddle. We enjoyed activities out and about during the days and relaxing, quiet mornings and evenings at the campground.||The bathrooms were really clean. It seemed like the women's bathroom had just been cleaned every time I went in there. And such darling pictures on the walls!||Area Activities:|- Pickleball at Lions Park in Mauston|- hauled our bikes to Hustler and biked to the tunnel - very cool! |- geocaching all around including right at the campground entrance|- Buckhorn State Park: hiked, picnic, beach and biked. Google showed bike trails in Buckhorn SP but the paths are very sandy, so we don't recommend biking in this state park!

First time staying here and the owners were awesome and more than helpful and so friendly. Quite place to camp although you hear some traffic off Highway 80. They are updating utilities and the camp store is coming along nicely. Highly recommend a stay here.

Would absolutely never recommend this campground. The place is absolutely INFESTED with mosquitos, we could not enjoy any time at the campground because the mosquitos were so bad all day long. We drove a few minutes down the road to go to the nearby state parks and there were no mosquitos!! The pond is nasty. They put an inflatable in it but you definitely do not want to get in that water. The closer you get to the pond, the worse the bug bites get. The entire campsite had thousands of ant mounds. The first thing the kids complained about when getting out of the car was how many ant hills there were, if only the ant hills were the worst of our problems. Do not bother bringing your speaker from home as you are not allowed to use it. No noise is acceptable at this campground. The owners put on a nice front but then complain about every thing you do. We were told that our kids are not flushing the toilets, which was disturbing that people were following our kids into the bathrooms to see if the toilets were flushed. We ended up having to leave 2 days early because we just couldn't take it anymore. We did not feel welcome there in the least bit. They put in all this fun stuff for kids but the owners hover over you if you play with any of it. The passive aggressive comments to the kids that were said loud enough for the parents to hear was just too much. Have fun staying at this campground folks! Hopefully your experience is better than ours was <3

This place was a godsend with cool clean waters for our littles to play when many other lakes in the area had algae bloom. My girls (5/7) learned to kayak in the kid sized kayaks in no time to reach the inflatable play center. I swam too and having been in several Wisconsin lakes it doesn't get much better. Facilities were clean, great signage, and friendly owners. Hope to be back soon!

What an absolutely amazing campground! We have a seasonal site and love the peace and tranquility! Owners are always on site to address any issues that may come up. Everything is kept clean and well groomed!! The campground mascot Elsie is always ready to play fetch with you. We absolutely love it here!!

Me my wife and 4yo son stayed in one of their tent sites this past weekend for wa da shuda days. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of stuff for the kids to do and a quiet campground. Mainly for rvs but has 2 tent sites. Has a nice little store for your necessities. Also has wifi which was really nice. Highly recommend!

Awesome spot and great owners! They're really doing a lot of work to improve this campground and I could see the results. It was very clean and organized and they were extremely helpful/friendly. I booked this spot because it was close to the highway and I needed a "stop and go" type of campsite -where I wouldn't be too far from cell service and could get back to driving quick and easily. (T Mobile wasn't the best when I wasn't on the highway) Luckily, they have a good wi-fi setup installed that allowed me to continue my work while I was there -which made me spend most of the day there instead! I would 100% stay here again!

"worst camping experience ever" definitely felt uncomfortable being here with my family they didn't like that I had young kids they watched over us and even drove past staring me down like I did something wrong we left 3 days earlier because of the bugs being so bad this places is for seniors only was not a good experience. Much more could be said will leave it at this
