Cyclists or hikers doing the 32-mile Elroy-Sparta Trail who want camp-and-ride convenience. Fall is the sweet spot: cooler tunnel temps, foliage in the wooded corridor, and fewer mosquitoes than summer. Bring a wheeled cart for the 0.1-mile uphill haul from the highway lot.
Car campers expecting drive-up access or basic comforts beyond vault toilets and a hand pump will be disappointed. Summer visits without serious bug spray are a gamble: mosquitoes can be heavy, and the wooded sites offer no real escape. No firewood on-site, so stock up in Elroy.
Availability, what to pack, similar spots — ask anything and get an instant answer.
Fall is best. Daytime highs run 50s–60s°F with crisp nights in the 30s–40s°F, and the wooded corridors turn red, gold, and orange. The tunnels stay pleasantly cool instead of buggy. Weekends see moderate crowds, especially during peak leaf season. Summer brings more mosquitoes and warmer days, though the tree canopy and tunnel sections offer relief.
Description states 'Fall is best' with crisp days, colorful woods and pleasant tunnel conditions.
Reservation tips, booking windows, and free cancellation alerts.
Very basic, low-development walk-in campground: each site has a fire ring and picnic table, hand-pump water is available, and restrooms are vault toilets. Parking is in an adjacent lot across the highway and campers carry gear up a short paved/asphalt path (about 100 yards) to sites. The DNR notes no firewood sales at the campground.
