Hey there Happy Campers! We welcome you to our small slice of Driftless heaven. This private campsite is located in prairie land, surrounded by agricultural and wooded property (it’s quiet). Within a few minutes drive you have access to some of the best trout streams a fishing license can buy. You're also in close proximity to amazing hiking and biking trails, agri-tourism (apple pickin' good times!), endless photography opportunities, wineries, birding, stargazing and visits to downtown Viroqua! After a long day of adventuring, come back to this quiet retreat, make some brandy old fashions and enjoy the ambiance of the stars and crackling camp fire! This site can accommodate 2 large tents with plenty of room for a camp kitchen, fire pit and seating area. There is newly constructed composting style outbuilding (please read instructions before using it) and a camp kitchen table along with solar powered lighting. Firewood and other supplies are conveniently available in downtown Viroqua. Be sure to check out the various retailers and restaurants while you're there! Hope you enjoy the camp and we just ask to please leave it better than you found it!Hey Happy Campers! We welcome you to our small slice of Driftless heaven. The camp location is surrounded by agricultural and wooded property (it’s quiet). Within a short drive you have access to some of the best trout streams a fishing license can buy. You're also in close proximity to amazing hiking and biking trails, agri-tourism (apple pickin' good times!), wineries, endless photography, birding, all of your favorite winter sport opportunities, and of course downtown Viroqua! After a long day of adventuring, come back to this quiet retreat, make some Brandy Old Fashions, hang around the fire pit and enjoy all the stars! This site can accommodate 2 large tents with plenty of room for a camp kitchen, fire pit and seating area. There is a newly constructed composting style outbuilding and solar shower stall. Please read and follow all instructions. When pulling up to the property, there is a parking area that can easily accommodate 2 cars (or 1 vehicle and a small camper). From there, we have a walkway to the camp pad (about 50 steps away). We've left a wheel barrow chained to the lantern post which you can use to easily haul your gear to/from your vehicle. During Summer wild parsnip and giant hogweed are blooming all around the Driftless. While it’s pretty to look at, please use caution and limit any contact. (Google both so you know how to identify it) PRO TIP: You’re camping in prairie land, so an EZ Up style canopy is recommended if you plan to spend time at camp during the day. We hope you enjoy the campsite and we just ask to please leave it as good or better than you found it! - Cheers

S-Camp is a peaceful and secluded spot that campers have found to be both quiet and conveniently located near fishing streams and local attractions. The site offers a well-maintained setup with a fire pit, picnic tables, and a clean compost toilet, making it a comfortable choice for tent campers. However, campers with trailers or RVs have noted the challenging access due to the narrow and uneven driveway. Overall, visitors appreciate the tranquility and the thoughtful amenities provided by the friendly host, Travis.

Good Little Camp

Tent

The camp was very nice. It’s close to the streams we wanted to fish and there isn’t a lot of traffic on the road it’s off of. I’d stay again for sure!

The site itself is awesome! I definitely would recommend for SMALL trailers and vehicles with 4x4 for the dirt road if it's not nice out. The outhouse is awesome, I don't have to worry about falling over!

A peaceful slice of the Driftless

Tent

S-Camp offers a beautiful, quiet, and peaceful slice of the Driftless to set up shop for the evening. I found it cozy, quaint, and well-equipped with the camping essentials, including a nice picnic table, an additional table for staging things, a firepit, and a nice little outhouse. Travis is an excellent host as well. I'd recommend this site for sure!

Loved tent camping at this place! Bring a sun shelter in the summer months as there is no shade and in a meadow with an incline. Neighbors were all very nice and could see the fish in the trout stream right up the road. We will be back!

We loved our stay here. We had such a great time, and made many memories to hold forever. :-) We loved how private it was, and peaceful. The stars were amazing to look at, and the cows were a plus! We would love to come back sometime, and would highly recommend this location! :-) Thank you Travis!
