Winding River Campground

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.

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!

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

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!

Of the formal campgrounds we stayed at on our monthlong journey from Virginia to Idaho and back, Winding River was by far our favorite. The hosts were warm and funny, the campstore perfectly stocked and the sites we stayed at were large. RV campsites were set up in a way that gave us extra privacy and didn't make us feel like sardines. The campground dog, a beautiful and friendly black german shepherd took to my white shepherd husky mixes and they were instant and playful friends. It is clear that the owners are taking this very seriously and are committed to making their visitors - no matter how long or short the stay - feel like they matter. We were travelling through back home to Virginia after visiting in Boise Idaho and we honestly were just expecting this to be a sort of unremarkable location. We were were delighted to discover it was so much more!
