July 9 Best Park In Wisconsin by Marcy
park review stars; one to five We traveled here on July 4th and were blown away by how beautiful it was! The staff and volunteers were great. I learned vanilla will keep away gnats. So few people in the park with us which was a shame because it is a wonderful park with great views and amazing Indian Mounds. Everything was so well kept and the campsites had some spectacular views.
