I appreciated that the "Canoe Lady" called me back right away after missing my call. We groups of overnighter canoers and kayakers. Tip: They will accommodate you, even if you only want to kayak for a few hours. We'll be back!

We had a wonderful experience here! We booked very last minute, and were a little confused about…read morewhat the different types of sites were (back-in, tent, etc.). After emailing them I received a rather prompt response that our tent was welcome on one of their back in sites, which I'm very glad we chose because it had a little paved driveway that fit a picnic table, our car, and had a little space left over that our toddler loved drawing on with chalk. Check in was super easy, and very friendly. All the staff we interacted with were happy to help and answer our questions. This is a VERY family oriented campground, there are kids everywhere, but it was a blast! They have a huge sand pit area that has giant jumping pillow, a tether ball pole, some plastic playsets, and a large swimming pond with lots of inflatables. There is also a pool, but it was closed for the season. At the main lodge there are board games, carpet ball, giant games, and a handful of arcade games. The bathrooms were also very well kept. There were a limited number of flushing toilets on the overnight campgrounds, as a good portion of the area is used for seasonal permanent campers. However, there were port-a-potties very strategically placed and well maintained. Showers are 50 cents for 7 minutes. I would highly recommend this campground! We are already looking at coming back next year. It's also very close to Devil's Lake, but a little too far to walk to (parking at the Lake is $16).

We have always camped in tents, but one year someone from our group rented a yurt, and it was awesome! Great family friendly place. Lots of things to do with the kids. They have a pond with inflatables, which the kids love. They also have a pool. There is also a pillow bounce thing and playground. A major plus is that they have bathrooms and showers! It is a pretty large place and gets booked up quick! The prices are reasonable, but have gone up over the years. They do have a store there, but be prepared to pay. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They have activities throughout the week so be sure to check the events calendar.

The outfitters are very nice and friendly it seemed like they really cared about your experience. The setting is beautiful and there is a farmers market, live music and tap house right there that you can enjoy. It's very popular and there were lines to get in. It was also very dog friendly. Overall a great experience, we are glad we did it and the kids had fun too!

Unbelievable experience all around…read more The owner/operator is an incredibly nice and accommodating guy. We had a group of 10, I accidentally booked 5 kayaks instead of canoes. Day of, the owner doesn't flinch at my mistake. He quickly corrected where I dropped the ball and it didn't seem to interrupt his operation. The Sugar river is a blast. Smaller and more technical than the nearby Wisconsin River. PLUS! There's some killer breweries, tacos, cocktail bars, & a live music venue to welcome you back once you're off the river. 100% would recommend and will most certainly use Sugar River Outfitters again.

One of the few things in life that's still free! The Merrimac Ferry is a fun, free ride across the…read moreWisconsin River between Lodi and Merrimac. It not only saves you from a 20-mile detour, but it's also part of the adventure--especially if you're headed to places like Devil's Lake. With ice cream available on both sides of the river, clean restrooms at the landing, and the simple joy of watching the ferry cross the water, it's an experience that brings out the kid in all of us. Whether you're traveling with family or just exploring Wisconsin, this is a stop that's well worth making. We never pass up the chance to ride!

Hidden gem for food! Would not have guessed the fish fry would be as good as it was!! We ordered…read morefood before going through the seasonal Terror at Tyrol. We received the food fairly quickly. We ordered the fish fry with Mac and cheese and elote. The fish was amazing! Super crispy and fresh. They had a couple preparation options to choose from. The Mac and cheese was creamy and tasty however I wish they advertised it as spicy. Maybe I missed that but I was surprised it was! The elote was also pretty good. It was served with a roll and coleslaw. Plenty of food for the price! I would eat a fish fry here again!!

Being conveniently located from Madison makes it more easier to visit and practice, especially during the weekday when there are different specials going on! Parking is good with a overflow parking right across the street. Also to note, service is spotty there. I always rent equipment and have never had any big issues. Quality and upkeep is pretty good. The prices can get high on the weekends, but usually specials on the weekdays. This resort has no frills and extra fancy things, just a spot to do some shredding. The lodge is very snack and like stadium food setting. I will say depending on the season and snow trend, the slopes can get pretty icy, but overall the hills are well maintained. The 'beginners' slope is pretty good for practicing and you can get up and down fast with the conveyor belt railing. The trails in general are on the shorter side but are still challenging and diverse for all levels.

Antiquated is a very nice word for the bath house! The cement floor of the shower is disgusting. Flowered cloth shower curtains and a plastic lawn chair separate the two showers. Most charming of all... the machine on the wall to add 25c to use the shower. Reminds me of the 70s and the vibrating motel beds! Gorgeous property but not conducive to a relaxing camping experience.

Pretty nice campground, the landscaping is well kept near the campsites. We were there over…read moreMemorial Day weekend, and it wasn't too crowded, which rocked. We were able to crank up the tunes and not have to worry about bothering anyone. Prices were OK, I think it was $15 per tent per night. They have a building with bathrooms and showers (7 minutes for a quarter in the shower!), which is nice for the ladies who don't want to "rough it" all that much. Ask for a campsite on the hill, you get a nice view, and there's only 3 sites on the hill. We had all three to ourselves, so basically our own little hill, it was cool! I'm sure there are plenty of closer campgrounds around, but it was kinda nice to drive 3 hours into the middle of nowhere in WI to get there.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and answered many questions. Recommend renting the blacklight flashlights. Made the adventure for the little ones memorable. Lots of amazing treasures and vending machines. You can purchase rocks with dirt to mine in designated area. Things to know: Parking is free. No strollers allowed on cave tour. You will need to be able to climb some stairs. One part of the tour is called the Narrows so expect it be as it sounds. Restrooms are NOT located in gift shop where tour begins. So make sure you go before at the main gift shop and visitors center. They have maps for detailed information about grounds/trails, adorable barn, and cave adventures. They also offer adult parties with blacklight in the Caves.

This is the most bizarre State Park I've been to in Wisconsin, and I've been to many. I don't know…read morewhy it has State Park status, it's more of a State Natural Area, because there is no park office, no bathrooms of any kind, no picnic tables, no one enforcing or collecting the fee you're supposed to pay -- there's just a parking lot you drive into, for free as far as I can tell. The posted map says it has toilets and a picnic area, but they are not there. Anyway, once you park and take the mowed trail, it's a pretty short hike to the bridge, which is very, very beautiful. There are a couple of more trails you can continue to walk on, but they seemed to disappear into nothingness after a while, so we turned back. So definitely stop in for 30 minutes to see the natural beauty, but there's no reason to stay beyond that.
