Perrot State Park, Trempealeau Wisconsin - Walk-In Group Campsites

06 June, 2011 07:06 CST6CDT

A friend and myself decided to go camping at Perrot State Park in Trempealeau Wisconsin last weekend (June 3rd - 5th, 2011).  It is a beautiful park with many hiking trails, biking trails, and canoe rental if you would like to brave the water or hike on Perrot Mountain.

Perrot State Park - Walk In Campsite Fire Pit AreaWe wanted a more private campsite for this trip.  Perrot offers four walk-in, group campsites that caught my eye (A, B, C, & D).  I chose the walk-in campsite B as it has full shade throughout the day.

The walk-in campsites are quite a bit more expensive than a standard site, in which Perrot has over a hundred available.  The walk-in site, B, was $40.00 per night with a $10.00 reservation fee.

The walk-in sites are somewhat of a gated community, however, a trail system does go through the area though does not hinder on privacy.

There is a Privy available with electric light and a water source just a few hops from the area.  Showers are just a short hike away with of course running water and other useful amenities.

Perrot State Park - Walk In Campsite Tent AreaI wasn't so sure if it was worth it when reserving the site (2 days), though it turned out to be a great deal offering great night time sky scenery and various wildlife to keep us company.

On my next visit I would probably rent a regular tent site for the arrival night, and a group walk-in site while we keep our days busy and for the hours we keep lazy.  Reserve early as these 4 sites go fast.
