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.

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.

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.

There was a huge puddle of water in front of the showers. Wonder where it was supposed to drain. The water only got warmish, never pleasant. The only place to dress or undress was out in full view of anyone else in the restroom. My clean clothes and socks got wet from the standing puddles. I recommend that the people who run the place take a shower there so they can figure out what needs to be fixed. For 80 bucks, we expected much better.

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!

The grounds and the house were very clean and nice, but the owner greeted us in a very cold manner, and we felt like we had to walk around on eggshells around her. Maybe it was just us. To be fair to the owner, we did arrive 30 minutes before check-in as we were on the road all day and simply wanted to walk the grounds rather than drive around for 30 minutes more. The owner was not pleased at all that we were early even though we just wanted to park the car and not check-in. She made it very clear multiple times how this was an inconvenience to her. Again, this may have been a really off day for her as others were happy during their multiple stays there. But to be fair to us, we felt a B&B should be a warm welcoming place and we did not feel this way at all.

Tucked away in a bright, verdant, corner of the Driftless Region in the American Midwest, the…read moreSilver Star Inn is a retreat like no other for travelers to Spring Green, Wisconsin. This bed and breakfast is a peaceful setting with comfortable rooms, gracious hosts, and delicious food. The location is a few short miles of scenic pastoral landscape from Spring Green. The only traffic we experienced was a tractor on its way to a family farm. Once there, you can hear the cicadas, crickets, and birds along with the breeze blowing through the nearby trees. There are walking paths with butterflies and other wildlife to see. It is an edenic setting that will refresh your soul. Our room, called "The Secret Hideaway," was tucked away on the lower level with two entryways, one leading out to a spacious patio. The room itself had a couple full beds and a futon. The bathroom is good sized with a nice shower. There is a TV we never turned on, but I'm confident it would work if anyone required screen time (I did not). There are dehumidifiers, fans and other devices that made the room extremely comfortable despite temperatures in the 90's while we were there. Your hosts, Elise and Kevin, are welcoming and give you a quick "lay of the land" upon arrival. There is a refrigerator for you to store your refreshments, but they provide wonderful baked goods, lemonade, iced tea (we came for Labor Day weekend) and other items in the small community kitchenette. There are plenty of comfortable sofas, chairs and other amenities that have been thoughtfully laid out for guests who are just relaxing on site. You'll see Kevin around the property during the day, and busily feeding guest at breakfast as he is the main chef. Elise greets you, shows you around, and introduces you to the ensemble cast of animals such as the family dog, chickens, and hummingbirds. Almost immediately, you feel welcomed. As you can see from the pictures, the food is as visually appealing as it is appetizing. Fresh fruit, vegetables grown on site and eggs from the resident chickens combine for a great meal to start your day. Everything was delicious and you are served at your table with plenty of coffee and juice available. Outstanding! If you are going to American Players Theater for shows, checking out the local art and music scene, taking in the beauty of southwestern Wisconsin, or checking out the home and inspiration of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Silver Star Bed and Breskfast Inn is a excellent choice for your lodging needs.

My boyfriend and I spontaneously decided to go up to Madison, WI for the day last weekend. We…read morewanted to stay somewhere over night, close enough to Madison, but just off the beaten path so we could get some R&R. We ended up finding Prevailing Winds Lodge, and lucky for us there was 1 room available. 2 days later we had to force ourselves to get back to Chicago for work, but we could have stayed there indefinitely. This place just opened up in May, and it's run by a husband and wife team. I have stayed in many bed and breakfast's over the years, but this was the first time I was blown away. There are 44 acres of prairie on the grounds, including a chicken coop that provides fresh eggs for the guests, exquisite wildlife and hiking paths, a firepit, and breathtaking views all around the property. Indoors a 20+ foot tall stone fireplace, antique organ, and gigantic black leather sofa and chairs, sets the rustic feel and puts you at instant ease and comfort. 24 hours a day guests have access to fresh water infused with different fresh flavors such as lemon, cucumber, or berries grown on the property, as well as freshly baked goods such as scones, bars, and brownies. Detailed wooden furniture and artwork keep your eyes wandering and curious from room to room. As a photographer, this place was a dream come true for me. Now onto what makes this lodge the best bed and breakfast I have ever experienced: the food. It was heavenly. Steve and Jen bake goodies fresh every day. While we were there, we enjoyed brownies, chocolate-caramel granola bars, mullberry scones and muffins, chocolate covered cake balls, and chocolate covered strawberries. We stayed out late and missed turn-down service twice, so Steve brought us the goodies in the morning. Guests also have 24 access to tea and freshly ground coffee. For breakfast day 1, we enjoyed yogurt, granola, and fresh berries as well as freshly baked bread, butter, and mullberry jam. Then Steve asked us how we like our eggs. He ended up cooking us each a pepper, ham, and cheese scramble which was out of this world. He even added jalapeños because I told him how I like my eggs spicy! We were served unlimited bacon and his homemade hash browns as well. Day 2 there was baked french toast with an array of sauces- and there is always fresh squeezed orange juice at the table. On day 2 we had unlimited sugar-cured bacon... And anything you want, Steve and Jen will customize for you. They really put you at ease and make your stay as comfortable as possible. My boyfriend looked at me as we enjoyed some Morrocan Mint tea while watching the sunrise outside on the patio, and he asked me " Did we die? Is this heaven?" Lastly, the rooms are 5 star, possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. And the bathrooms are great too- luxurious soaps and shampoo are provided, as well as lush, cotton robes that we never wanted to take off. So call it a bed and breakfast if you will, but Prevailing Winds Lodge goes above and beyond my high expectations. We felt like Royalty, and there is nothing but great vibes there. Cannot wait to return again, and again!
