Campgrounds near Durand, Wisconsin
Durand sits along the Chippewa River in western Wisconsin, at the southern trailhead of the Chippewa River State Trail. Tarrant Park in Durand anchors this end of the trail with parking, picnic areas, playgrounds, athletic fields, a swimming pool, water, and toilets, and it holds the only campground on the Chippewa River State Trail itself. RV travelers use Durand as a base for river paddling, cycling the paved trail north toward Menomonie and Eau Claire, and exploring the surrounding prairie and bluff country.
RV-suitable campgrounds cluster along the Chippewa and nearby Mississippi River corridors. Options within easy driving distance include Holden Park Campground, Nelson's Landing RV Park, Irvington Campground and RV Park, Big River Resort, and Twin Springs Resort Campground. Most offer electric hookups, and several sit directly on the water with boat access.
The largest contiguous floodplain forest in the Midwest lies just south of Durand within the Lower Chippewa River State Natural Area, and about seventy percent of the fish species found in Wisconsin use the Chippewa and Red Cedar Rivers, including paddlefish, blue sucker, crystal darter, and goldeye. That mix of river, prairie, and forest defines the area's camping character.
Things to do near Durand
Cycling and paddling dominate the local activity list. The Chippewa River State Trail is a 30-mile Wisconsin state trail that runs from Phoenix Park in downtown Eau Claire south along the Chippewa River through river bottoms, prairies, sandstone bluffs, and wetlands, meets the Red Cedar State Trail in the Dunnville Wildlife Area, and ends at Tarrant Park in Durand. The trail is surfaced with asphalt pavement from Eau Claire for the first eleven miles, with the remainder in asphalt emulsion for a smooth riding surface.
On the water, the Chippewa below Eau Claire is wide and mostly calm, suited to canoes, kayaks, and shallow-draft powerboats, with sandbar stops for lunch or overnight camping. Camping is allowed on state-owned sandbars on the Lower Chippewa River downstream from County Highway H in Dunn County to the Mississippi confluence, with no permit required and a limit of up to three days.
Off the water, families visit the Eau Galle Cheese Factory a few miles from town and walk into downtown Durand to see its historic 1873 courthouse.

December - February
27° / 10°F 25 mmDeep freeze; most campgrounds and water systems closed
The prime RV window runs from mid-May through late September. Snow typically starts in November and lingers into April in the Eau Claire area, so shoulder-season trips in April and October can bring frost, mud, and closed water systems even when sites remain reservable. Water and services such as buildings, flush restrooms, shower buildings, and campgrounds may be closed during the off-season at Wisconsin State Park System properties.
Summer is the busy stretch. Weekends around Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day fill first, and electric sites are the earliest to book out. June is the wettest month on average, so plan for thunderstorms and pack rain gear. July and August bring warm days ideal for river swimming, tubing, and paddling.
Fall shifts the character of the area toward foliage on the bluffs, cool nights, and quieter trails. Hunting seasons open across the surrounding state natural areas and wildlife areas from September onward, so campers using public land should check current Wisconsin DNR notices before arrival.
How to book a site
Wisconsin state parks, forests, and recreation areas use a single reservation system. Camping reservations are required and can be made on the same day of arrival or up to 11 months before the planned occupancy date, either online or by calling 1-888-947-2757. All state parks, southern forests, and state recreation areas are completely reservable, with no first-come, first-served standard sites available at these properties.
City, county, and private campgrounds around Durand each use their own booking channels. The City of Durand allows visitors to reserve campsites, tent sites, and park pavilions at Tarrant Park online, with payment due at the time reservations are made. Private RV parks such as Nelson's Landing RV Park, Irvington Campground and RV Park, Big River Resort, and Twin Springs Resort Campground typically take direct phone or website bookings, and popular summer weekends should be locked in several weeks ahead.
What to expect on-site
Sites in this part of Wisconsin skew toward electric-and-water hookups rather than full sewer, so most RV travelers plan to use dump stations at the campground or in a nearby town. The Tarrant Park campground in Durand offers ten RV sites with water and electric hookups and eight tent sites with electric, alongside ball fields, basketball courts, playground equipment, and trail access along the Chippewa River.
Expect gravel or paved pads, fire rings, and moderate shade under floodplain hardwoods along the river. Cell coverage is generally reliable in town and along the highways but can drop on sandbar sites and in the state natural areas. Firewood must be sourced locally: only certified firewood or firewood originating from within ten miles of the park is allowed. Mosquitoes and biting flies peak in June and early July near the water, so bring repellent.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Durand, WI
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Durand, WI?
RV rental in Durand is one of the more affordable ways to explore western Wisconsin, with most travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night and Class C motorhomes typically running $175 to $275 per night on RVezy. Because Durand is a smaller river town in Pepin County rather than a major metro, you often find better rates than booking out of Minneapolis or Eau Claire. To score a cheap RV rental Durand travelers love, look at midweek dates, target shoulder months like May or late September, and use the price filter on RVezy. Pro tip: many hosts offer multi-night discounts of 10% or more once you book 5+ nights, perfect for a slow trip along the Chippewa River.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Durand%2C%20WisconsinDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Durand, WI?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Durand for the vast majority of rigs on RVezy. Wisconsin does not require a special license or CDL for non-commercial recreational vehicles, regardless of size. You also need to be 25 or older as an approved driver, and RVezy verifies your ID through the platform during booking, so there is nothing to mail or fax. Visiting from outside the United States? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you are set. Most first-time renters in Durand are surprised how quick and painless the paperwork really is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection and roadside assistance comes with my Durand RV rental?
Every RV rental in Durand booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Great River Road with confidence. The protection plan covers eligible damage to the vehicle and you choose your coverage level during checkout rather than leaving it to the host. Roadside help covers things like flat tires, lockouts, jump starts, and towing, which is comforting on rural stretches of WI-25 or US-10 between Durand and Menomonie. If anything goes sideways during your trip, RVezy support is reachable around the clock by phone or in-app message.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Durand RV rental?
You can book your Durand RV with confidence because RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy and applies it consistently across every listing. There is a money-back grace period right after booking, and refund amounts after that depend on how far out you cancel. If a tornado warning or flooding along the Chippewa River impacts your trip, contact RVezy support directly and they will walk you through your options. The full cancellation policy is published on the RVezy Help Center, so you can review the details before you click Book.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Durand, WI?
Absolutely, Durand is a great place to travel with your pup, and finding a pet-friendly RV rental in Durand is easy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you will see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) right in their listings. Wisconsin State Parks allow leashed pets on most trails and in designated pet-friendly campsites, and the riverfront walks downtown Durand are made for a morning stroll. Tarrant Park Campground right in Durand is leash-friendly. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fees and ask about their favorite local dog-friendly spots.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/visit/petsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Durand?
Yes, RV delivery in Durand is offered by many hosts on RVezy and it is hands-down the easiest way to start your trip, especially if it is your first time renting an RV. Your host can tow or drive the rig directly to Tarrant Park Campground, a private campground, or even a friend's driveway, then level it, hook up water and electric, and walk you through every system. That means no learning to back up a 28-foot trailer on day one. Delivery fees usually range from $2 to $5 per mile from the host's location. Look for the Delivery filter on RVezy and you will see which Durand-area hosts offer this stress-free option.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Durand%2C%20WisconsinHow far can I drive on a Durand RV trip and how does mileage work?
Plenty far, Durand sits at a sweet spot for a Wisconsin RV trip with major destinations within easy reach. Eau Claire is about 30 miles north, the Twin Cities are roughly 90 miles west via I-94, Wisconsin Dells is around 160 miles southeast, and Door County is about 280 miles east. Most RVezy hosts in the area include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles around $0.35 to $0.50. If you are planning a longer RV road trip from Durand, ask the host about an unlimited mileage add-on or a custom mileage package, many will say yes. Map your route first so you can pick the policy that saves you the most.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Durand%2C%20WisconsinWhere are the best campgrounds near Durand, WI for RVs?
You have excellent options for RV camping in Durand within a short drive. Tarrant Park Campground sits near the southern end of the Chippewa River State Trail with RV sites that include electric and water hookups, plus a swimming pool nearby. Lake Wissota State Park, about 35 miles north near Chippewa Falls, offers electric sites, showers, and a dump station in a beautiful lakeside setting. Willow River State Park near Hudson is a popular option about an hour west. Pro tip: book Tarrant Park through the City of Durand, sites along the river fill up fast for Funfest weekend in early June.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/lakewissota/campingWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip to Durand, WI?
Late May through mid-October is prime time for RV camping Durand-style, with June through August being the sweet spot. Summer high temperatures average roughly 75 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and cool to the 55 to 65 range overnight, perfect for sleeping with the windows open. September brings crisp days in the 60s and 70s and the start of stunning fall color along the Chippewa River bluffs. Winters are genuinely cold with January lows often near 5 degrees and frequent snow, so most campgrounds close from late October to early May. Time your trip around Durand Funfest in early June for an authentic local experience.
weather.gov/arx/I have never rented an RV before. Is Durand a good place to start?
Durand is honestly one of the friendliest places in Wisconsin for a first time renting an RV. Traffic is light, the roads are flat-to-gently-rolling, and you are surrounded by small towns rather than big-city sprawl. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, the water system, slide-outs, and dump procedures, so you will not be left guessing. You can also message your host before booking with any question, no matter how small. Stick with a Class C motorhome or travel trailer under 25 feet for your first trip, and consider delivery to Tarrant Park so your host can set everything up. RVezy support is one tap away if questions come up on the road.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Durand%2C%20WisconsinWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every Durand RV rental on RVezy comes with 24/7 roadside assistance included with the protection plan, so help is one phone call away if you get a flat on WI-25, lock the keys inside, or need a jump start at a trailhead along the Chippewa River State Trail. For mechanical issues, your host is your first contact and most will troubleshoot by phone or arrange a swap. For anything they cannot resolve, RVezy customer support is available round-the-clock through the app or by phone. The nearest full-service RV repair shops are in Eau Claire, about 30 miles north.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Durand RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is welcome and many guests use Durand as a launchpad for a multi-state RV road trip from Durand into Minnesota, Iowa, or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Twin Cities are about 90 minutes west, and Lake Superior's North Shore is a popular longer run. Cross-border travel into Canada is allowed on certain RVezy rentals depending on the host and insurance coverage, so message the host before booking and confirm in writing. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Bring your passport for Canada and you are ready to roll.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat is the realistic fuel budget for an RV trip from Durand?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable, but it is easy to estimate. Class C motorhomes in the Durand area average 8 to 10 miles per gallon, Class B campervans run 15 to 20 MPG, and a truck pulling a travel trailer typically gets 10 to 13 MPG. Wisconsin gas prices tend to sit close to the national average, so for a 300-mile round trip from Durand to Wisconsin Dells in a Class C, budget roughly $100 to $130 in fuel. Top off at the Kwik Trip on US-10 before heading out, prices are consistently lower than at highway exits. Plan fuel stops in advance since gas stations with RV-friendly pull-throughs are limited between Durand and Black River Falls.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Durand?
For peak summer weekends (mid-June through Labor Day) at Wisconsin State Parks like Willow River or Lake Wissota, book up to 11 months ahead the moment the reservation window opens through the Wisconsin DNR reservation system at wisconsin.goingtocamp.com. For Tarrant Park right in Durand, reserve through the City of Durand, and weekday sites are often available a few weeks out. Private campgrounds in the area typically open reservations in January for the upcoming season. Pro tip: if a Wisconsin State Park is sold out, set a Notify Me alert through the reservation site, cancellations happen constantly and sites reopen all season long.
wisconsin.goingtocamp.com/What are the local driving conditions like around Durand?
Driving an RV in and around Durand is genuinely easy compared to most of the country. WI-25, WI-85, and US-10 are well-maintained highways with light traffic and gentle hills through farmland and river bluffs. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk on rural stretches, and be aware that some county roads narrow significantly. Pay attention to posted weight and height limits when crossing river bridges with a large rig. In winter (November through March), snow and black ice are real concerns and many RVs are not winterized, so most trips run May through October. Check 511wi.gov before you leave for live road conditions.
511wi.gov/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Durand?
Campgrounds near Durand cover the full range. Tarrant Park offers electric and water hookups, restrooms, and a dump station. Private campgrounds in the area typically provide 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer at most sites along with showers and Wi-Fi. Wisconsin State Parks like Lake Wissota (about 35 miles north) provide electric sites, flush toilets, showers, and a dump station, though full hookups are rare in the state system. For propane refills and supplies, head to Eau Claire. Pro tip: top off your fresh water tank before you arrive at Tarrant Park since not every site has its own spigot, and the central potable water station is your friend.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/lakewissota/campingWhat is inside a typical motorhome rental in Durand, WI?
A typical motorhome rental in Durand comes ready to camp. Expect a queen bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds that sleep 4 to 7 total, a kitchen with a propane stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, and sink, plus a bathroom with toilet and shower. Most rigs include air conditioning, a furnace, a TV, and a generator or solar setup for boondocking. Seatbelts are provided for everyone traveling while in motion, count them before you book if you have a larger family. Many hosts include linens, cookware, and outdoor chairs. Message the listing to confirm Wi-Fi (cell coverage is solid in Durand but spotty along the river bluffs).
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Durand%2C%20WisconsinWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about in Durand?
You can customize your campervan rental Durand experience with a stack of useful add-ons. Common host extras include bedding and towel packages ($25 to $50), camp chairs and tables ($15 to $30), bikes or kayaks ($20 to $40 per day), generators, fire pits, and pet packages. Mileage policies vary by host but usually fall between 100 and 150 free miles per night, with unlimited mileage available on some listings. Pickup is typically at the host's home in or near Durand, but delivery to Tarrant Park or any address within a set radius is widely offered. Pro tip: bundle add-ons with delivery and you will arrive at your campsite with everything ready to go.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Durand%2C%20WisconsinHow do payment and security deposits work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure, you pay through RVezy directly with a credit or debit card, never cash to the host. Security deposits for an RV rental Wisconsin guests book in the Durand area are set by the host and held as a temporary authorization on your card (not actually charged), then released after the host confirms the RV came back in good condition. To avoid any surprises, do a quick walkthrough video at pickup and return, dump and refill tanks per the host's instructions, and return with the same fuel level. Keep all communication in the RVezy app so there is a clear record if a question comes up.
