Wildcat Mountain State Park

Perched on a ridge above the meandering Kickapoo River, Wildcat Mountain State Park Campground offers a serene escape characterized by its dramatic vistas, diverse trails, and tranquil natural surroundings. Its unique setting within Wisconsin's Driftless Area provides access to sandstone bluffs, lush woodlands, and a variety of outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for both relaxation and adventure.

The campground itself features 30 reservable family sites, several group sites, and an equestrian campground, catering to a range of camping preferences. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, picnic tables, and fire rings at the family sites, while group and equestrian areas provide vault toilets and water access. Campers seeking a more remote experience can use the walk-in, cart-access sites nestled among hardwoods or pine stands near the ridge. The site benefits from unparalleled proximity to miles of hiking, with the park's Hemlock Trail and Old Settler’s Trail offering challenging climbs, scenic overlooks, and glimpses of local wildlife such as bald eagles and deer.

Located just outside Ontario, Wisconsin, the campground sits within easy reach of popular activities like paddling on the Kickapoo River and horseback riding along the park’s 15 miles of equestrian trails. Campers can also enjoy cross-country skiing in winter or relish the vibrant colors of the autumn leaves. Whether for a quick weekend getaway or an extended outdoor retreat, Wildcat Mountain provides a harmonious blend of adventure, comfort, and scenic beauty.
