Video of Mill Bluff State Park Campground – Camp Douglas, Wisconsin
The mesas and buttes of Mill Bluff State Park were once islands in the ancient Glacial Lake Wisconsin. These formations stand more than 120 feet above the surrounding terrain. Early European settlers used them as landmarks. Today the 1,220 acre park is part of Wisconsin’s Ice Age National Scientific Reserve. There is also a pond with a beach for swimming and picnicking. This video includes all the park’s 21 campsites that are available without a reservation. Music copyright 2008 by Maury Smith. Slide show and photographs copyright 2008, Creative Juice LLC.

Video of Wildcat Mountain State Park Family Campground – Ontario, Wisconsin
The 3,740 acre Wildcat Mountain State Park is in the driftless, unglaciated area of western Wisconsin. Flowing alongside the park is the paddler friendly, Kickapoo River. “Kickapoo” comes from the Algonquin Indians, meaning “he who goes there, then here.” The Kickapoo River meanders for 125 miles over 65 miles of distance. Views of the River valley below, from the mountain top lookouts, are spectacular. There are 30 family campsites, with some on the mountain’s edge. The three group campsites can accommodate up to 75 people. A separate campground for equestrians is in the northern part of the park. It has 24 sites and 15 miles of trails.

Video of Nelson Dewey State Park Campgrounds – Cassville, Wisconsin
Nelson Dewey State Park is a land of incredible vistas overlooking the Mississippi River valley. On the site is the home of Wisconsin’s first governor, Nelson Dewey. His 2,000 acre plantation was considered the state’s first large scale farming operation. The governor’s first home was gutted by fire in 1873. The current building was built on the original foundation. Across the road, the State Historical Society operates Stonefield Village and the State Farm Museum. There are a number of effigy mounds constructed by the Hopewell Indian group along the bluff trails and overlooks in the 750 acre park. The trail through the dry lime prairie restoration along the edge of the overlook is very scenic. Tent campers will be impressed with the four walk-in sites overlooking the Mississippi River valley. This video includes all the park’s campsites. Music copyright 2008 by Maury Smith. Slide show and photographs copyright 2008, Creative Juice LLC.
