Wyalusing State Park

Perched atop the rugged limestone bluffs where the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers converge, Wyalusing State Park Campground offers breathtaking panoramic views of one of the Midwest's most awe-inspiring natural intersections. With its unique combination of dramatic overlooks, rich cultural history, and serene forested settings, this campground defies conventional camping expectations by seamlessly blending natural beauty with ample recreational opportunities.

The park features two main campgrounds, Wisconsin Ridge and Homestead, each catering to different camping styles. Wisconsin Ridge is acclaimed for its unparalleled views of the river valleys, making it ideal for sunrise and sunset enthusiasts. It offers a mix of electric and non-electric sites, though its ridge-top sites are smaller and less private, prioritizing the stunning scenery. Homestead Campground, on the other hand, is set within a quiet hardwood forest and provides wooded, spacious sites perfect for those seeking a more secluded experience. Both campgrounds include essential amenities such as flush restrooms, showers, picnic tables, and fire rings. Visitors appreciate the convenience of on-site concessions for firewood, snacks, and canoe or kayak rentals.

Located just 10 miles south of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin's second-oldest state park spans 2,628 acres, providing 24 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and winter sports. Highlights include effigy mounds left by Native Americans, the historic Sentinel Ridge, and the scenic Henneger Point. The park also offers birdwatching, fishing, and paddling opportunities in the Mississippi backwaters, making it a top destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or an extended stay, Wyalusing State Park Campground delivers a uniquely rewarding outdoor experience.
