Plus we like walking around the neat shops and stores in nearby McGregor. High on a bluff above McGregor and about 2 miles south of town is Pikes Peak State Park.Īn outstanding view of the Mississippi River valley from the scenic overlook at Pike Peakīecause it is less well-known than Wyalusing, we’ve often found vacancies here when Wyalusing was filled. And McGregor is a neat historic river town worth visiting. Pikes Peak State Park & RV Campground, McGregor, IowaĪlthough we are profiling best campgrounds along the Wisconsin side of the Great River Road, crossing the river at Prairie Du Chien to McGregor isn’t that far out of your way. Instead our preference is to cross the bridge at Prairie Du Chien to McGregor, Iowa for Pikes Peak State Park. While there are some campgrounds in Prairie Du Chien, we have not included them in our recommended campgrounds because we’ve found these parks to be heavily occupied by seasonal campsite units and are not oriented to serve the traveling RVer. Leaving Wyalusing, the Great River Road proceeds North to Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin. We were there recently mid-week and all but a few of the electric sites were taken (and this was during the covid-19 limited service restrictions which may have deterred some campers).

Wyalusing is a popular State park so plan on making reservations during popular camping periods. Roads and trails lead down to the river front with boat, canoe, and kayak launches and picnic areas. Located high on the bluff I’d expect them to be less “buggy” than sites you’d find closer to the river. Some of RV sites will be a tight fit for larger units and some will require leveling. Wyalusing has 109 campsites with 38 having electric hookups for RVs.

The park has some outstanding hiking trails and mountain bike trails, RV dump station, scenic overlooks of the Mississippi River, and a camp store. North of Bagley off County X on the way to Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin is Wyalusing State Park, like Nelson Dewey located on a high bluff above the river. One of the Wyalusing campsites suitable for RVs
