Camping near Elk Mound, Wisconsin
Elk Mound is a small village in Dunn County, western Wisconsin, sitting between Menomonie and Eau Claire along Interstate 94. The area is glacial hill country cut by the Chippewa and Red Cedar rivers, with hardwood forests, farm valleys, and lake reservoirs shaping the recreation options for RV travellers.
Most campgrounds within a short drive fall into two groups: privately run RV parks with full hookups, laundry, and family amenities, and public campgrounds inside the Wisconsin state park system. Twin Springs Resort Campground and Country Villa Motel Campground are among the private options closest to the village, while Lake Wissota State Park, a 1,062-acre park near Chippewa Falls on the northeast shore of Lake Wissota, a 6,300-acre man-made lake on the Chippewa River, sits about half an hour northeast.
Eau Claire and Menomonie both provide grocery, fuel, propane, and RV service within a short drive, which makes Elk Mound a practical base for exploring the Chippewa Valley by RV.
Things to do around Elk Mound
Water is the main draw. Boating, swimming, and fishing are the most popular activities on Lake Wissota, and anglers can target musky, walleye, northern pike, bass, and panfish on the Chippewa River system.
Cyclists and hikers have direct rail-trail access. The Old Abe State Trail runs along the Chippewa River corridor between Lake Wissota State Park and Brunet Island State Park near Cornell. Paddlers use the quieter backwaters and channels around Brunet Island for canoeing and wildlife watching.
In Elk Mound itself, the stone Mound Tower on top of the village's namesake hill is a short drive from most local campgrounds and gives a wide view of the Chippewa Valley.

The Wisconsin State Park camping season around Elk Mound runs late spring through late fall. Secluded family campsites at Lake Wissota State Park are available between April 15 and November 29, which brackets the practical RV window for most public sites. Private parks in the area typically open around ice-out and close by late October.
Summer is peak season. Daytime highs sit in the upper 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit, lakes are warm enough for swimming, and biting insects are heaviest in June. June is typically the wettest month and January the driest, so early-summer trips should plan for thunderstorms and mud on unpaved sites.
Fall brings hardwood colour through late September and October, cooler nights, and lower campground occupancy. Winters are cold and snowy: Eau Claire averages 55.4 inches of snow per year based on the 1991-2020 climate normals, and most campgrounds around Elk Mound are closed from November through March.

Renting from Anthony was great!! He was very prompt, explained everything with the camper very thoroughly and was incredibly nice and accommodating. The camper was very clean, well-kept and in great condition! The generator is basically brand new and very easy to use; starts with the push of a button! Bathroom was clean and worked! Whenever we had a question, we received timely responses from Anthony and he was very open to help, it was never a bother. If we ever have a need for a camper again, we will ABSOLUTELY reach out to Anthony again, I highly recommend using this camper!! 5 stars for sure!!

Anthony was very helpful. He met me at the campground, set up the camper, walked me through everything, and showed me the ins and outs of his camper. I told him I wanted to leave early on the day of departure. He said no problem; just leave the key in it, and he’d pick it up later the day I left. He made the entire experience so much easier for us. Thanks a lot, buddy.

How to book a site near Elk Mound
Wisconsin state park campgrounds use a single reservation system. Camping reservations are required and can be made up to 11 months in advance of the planned date of occupancy, and campers must make a reservation before setting up on any site. Reserve online through the Wisconsin State Park System reservation portal or by calling 1-888-947-2757. For summer weekends and holidays at Lake Wissota, book as early as the 11-month window opens.
A Wisconsin State Park System vehicle admission sticker is required on all motor vehicles stopping in state parks, forests, and recreation areas, separate from the campsite fee.
Private parks such as Twin Springs Resort Campground, Eagle Ridge Campground, and Country Villa Motel Campground take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. Full-hookup pull-through sites at these parks tend to fill first on summer weekends.
What to expect on the ground
Private RV parks in the Elk Mound area generally offer 30- and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer hookups, with laundry, showers, and a camp store on site. Wooded and open sites are both common, and interior roads are usually gravel.
State park sites are more rustic. Lake Wissota State Park has 116 wooded, secluded family campsites, 58 of which have electricity, plus showers, flush toilets, and a sanitary dumping station at the park entrance. There are no sewer hookups at the sites, so plan dump-station stops accordingly.
Cell coverage is generally solid along the I-94 corridor and thins out on backroads north of Chippewa Falls. Firewood should be bought locally to reduce the spread of forest pests. At Lake Wissota, firewood is sold at the park office during open hours, and a firewood vending machine is available 24 hours a day.
