Flip flops are not suitable. Plan for both on-the-river shoes and dry shoes for off the river, and dress in a swimsuit or shorts and a T-shirt—you may get wet.

Jason and Nichole have clearly built something special in northern Wisconsin. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and the welcoming atmosphere that keeps families and groups coming back year after year. The river tubing and kayaking experiences draw particular praise, with guests describing their floats as peaceful, beautiful, and well-organized from start to finish. Beyond the water activities, the campground and food offerings add real value to the experience. The fish fry and ice cream get specific shoutouts, and staff like Reese are called out by name for exceptional service. One reviewer notes a significant drop-off near the water's edge, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you're visiting with younger kids. That aside, the overwhelming feedback points to a genuinely fun, well-run destination that earns its loyal repeat visitors.
Highly recommend, amazing people and a very welcoming and kind atmosphere. We really loved the fun theme (Santa on vacation) and the themed activities, drinks, etc. Whether you stay at the campground or come for a day it is worth the trip. We got fun drinks, floated down the Wisconsin River, played bags and had dinner. The drinks were great and the food was delicious, we had the Chicago dog, veggie pizza, cheese curd platter, and brownie with ice cream. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We had a great time and hope to be back one day. You’re truly livin the dream here! And dogs are welcome which is awesome!
