Our rec center offers games, snack bar, activities, and there is always something to do, even if it rains!

$Our 50' pool keeps the splash in summer, and is ofth\en the site of fun activities like the canoe sinking contest!$

Take a break from the heat and cool off in our 50-foot heated pool.

Our 18-hole mini-golf course is fun for all ages and we also offer volleyball and horseshoes for your enjoyment.

Mini-Golf is available right in the activities area!

Rent a Pedal Kart and take a spin around the campground. There's even room for a youngster on the back, a fun alternative to a stroller.

There is a large wooded ravine behind the campground that winds its way to McCaslin Brook. There you can find fishing or the quiet solitude along the brook.

Biking or hiking through the campground or beyond into the Nicolet National Forest offers another way to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of this area.

The trail at the end of the campground leads to McCaslin Brook and some of the finest trout fishing in the State.

This is one of a multitude of streams and rivers in the immediate area and we are within 10 miles of at least 60 lakes, offering a variety of fishing opportunities, from lunker bass and walleye to panfish. Nearaby lakes also provide public beaches and boat launches for your swimming and boating pleasure.

In addition to fishing and hunting, other popular area activities include hiking, canoeing, biking and horseback riding. The area offers many scenic areas for you to explore include the historic Cathedral of Pines, just a few miles from the campground. We are right on the ATV and Snowmobile trails and close to cross-country ski trails and the McCaslin Brook 18-Hole Golf Course is just a few miles down the road.

For the more adventurous a spring or summer whitewater rafting trip may be more to your liking. We are located between two of the best rafting rivers in the Midwest, the Wolf and the Peshtigo Rivers.

We are located right between two of the best whitewater rafting rivers in the midwest. Both offer 1/2 day trips at very low prices.
