FIREWOOD POLICY

NO CARRY IN FIREWOOD PLEASE. Please Buy it where you burn it. Please purchase our bug free USDA certified. To help prevent the spread of gypsy moth, emerald ash borer and oak wilt, USDA and WDATCP Certified firewood is sold here at minimal markup to cover our costs. This is a serious problem and we ask our campers to take it seriously too. Please help us protect our trees and protect the beauty of the campground. We are working hard to prevent loss due to these invasive pests and diseases that are harmful to Wisconsin’s trees. Wilderness Campground has contracted with a firewood supplier that is certified by the Wisconsin Dept of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the US Department of Agriculture to provide “certified” firewood for our customers at the lowest cost possible. Please enjoy a campfire with your family knowing you are doing your part to protect the environment. Visiting or singing around a blazing campfire and roasting marshmallows are among the experiences that make for a memorable camping trip in a nice wooded setting, of course.

PET POLICY

Our pets have become a part of our families. We welcome you to bring your pet with you but please follow these simple rules to make everyone's camping experience pleasant. Also, we now have a Dog Park! Ask for directions when you check in. (Visitors are not allowed to bring in pets)

  • All pets must be leashed (restrained) at all times. If off of your campsite the leash must be no longer than 6ft. While on your campsite the animal must be restrained with a leash in a manner not to exceed 20’ in diameter or come within 6 feet of any roadway.

  • No pets allowed in the store, pool area, restrooms or playgrounds.

  • No pets allowed on the beach or in the swimming lake.

  • You must pick-up, and properly dispose of all of your pet’s waste immediately. Even if it is on your own campsite, but especially if it is off your site.

  • No visiting guests will be allowed to bring in a dog, only registered campers. If you are expecting company please make sure they are aware that they may not bring in pets.

  • Excessive barking will not be tolerated.

  • If your pet bites someone you must notify the campground office immediately and the Sheriffs Department must be called. It is mandatory to report all dog bites.

It is a good idea to keep a copy of your pet’s rabies vaccine in your camper. (In the event your pet bites someone, we are obligated to call the sheriff's department. They can & will take your pet. It will be impounded until you can prove to them your pet has a rabies vaccination)
