Neshonoc Lakeside

We are SO glad we joined The Trails Collection from Thousand Trails because we got to stay at this park for free (normally over $55 per night). FHU sites, 50 amp, lots of space on each site (at least 4-5x the width of our RV in each site). Backing into our spot was a bit tricky since someone right across was leaving, but we got it worked out and it was great.

2 pools and the top pool is more kid friendly. Big playground, a lake, and other fun stuff for the family.

Seems to be quite a few full time people here with even some areas set aside for that, but all VERY well kept up. The laundry near the upper pool was really small (3 washers and 4 dryers) so maybe there was another laundry, but this seems really small for a park this size. We were able to get stuff cleaned, but just the size would worry us in the really busy season or if we came on a weekend.

Small town nearby had plenty of stuff in it within under 5 miles.

We look forward to another visit here.

This campground is really more of a lakeside community with lots of seasonal residents. That said, the sites were well maintained and large, and the campground is quiet and peaceful.

We paid extra for one of the lakeside site, and it was so with it. We watched the sun set over the lake by the fireside. The site was level with a wooden deck right outside our door.

There was a small camp store, two pools and a laundry.

First off, we are Thousand Trails members and this park was free to us; I had to put at least $1 in order to post the review. That being said, we would pay full price to stay at this gorgeous park at least once. The park staff is very friendly and the activities calendar was packed. There are two well appointed pools and plenty of well maintained play areas for the kids. This is a full service, active resort and the owners clearly understand the value of maintaining their property.

The lake is beautiful and the boat ramp is well appointed (although parking is a bit of a challenge). The sites are easy to get into/out of and they are level and good sized. Utilities were in good shape and the power was clean. There are lots of long-term rigs in place and this park is clearly a 'go too' weekend get-away. But, unlike most parks, there were still lots of sites available that had great views of the lakes.

WARNING: The hill to the RV parking is very steep and thankfully short. 5mph up any kind of really steep hill can really wear on your engine/transmission if you're over your weight limit, so be aware.

This Encore park does not see many TT users, so it's mostly a retail place and it shows. Nice little store, immaculate sites, everything well maintained and clean. The hot tub next to the upper pool is wonderful. The lake is beautiful!

The water is hard and has a bit of a smell right out of the faucet, but nothing detectable after the first filter. Lots of 50 amp sites and there's hardly anyone in our section (getting on towards end of season).

There's a farmers market and IGA down the road, along with a well stocked Ace Hardware. If I wanted a northern TT/Encore get-away for the summer, this would be on the short list.

There is, of course, the obligatory rail road, but it doesn't appear to be highly used and far enough away so only the lightest of sleepers will likely notice. The highway isn't very close so that's not an issue either.

Cell service is great (I'm running everything off of my Verizon router this week), and while I had no need, they appear to have a very good pay WiFi system. TV reception/choice is decent, but nothing amazing.

Everything here was perfect! We stayed at site 173. Everything was well maintained and cleaned. Family friendly. The kids LOVED the golf cart parade after dark. This has been our favorite campground to date!

We stopped here on our way out west and we’re pleasantly surprised at the beautiful setting of this campground. It is set on the shores of a small lake. The campground was very well maintained and the staff are super friendly and helpful. There are many seasonal camper but you do not feel out of place because the park is very big. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

We were here to stay and judge a bbq contest. Our site was nice with a large concrete pad and was almost level. The boathouse near us was filthy and appeared to not have been cleaned in a while and was in some major updating. If your kids enjoy swimming in the pool and running around the park in a golf cart this would work for you. For me I felt it was not worth the cost.

We stayed two nights at Neshonoc Lake in site 160. This was a water and electric site. No sewer. Our campsite was at the top of the hill on a curve, so we saw a lot of traffic. Had storms both nights and lots of water ran through our campsite. Our fire pit, which was sunken, filled up completely with water. Didn’t see this issue at any of the nearby campsites, so I think it was unique to site 160.

Verizon cell service was good. Internet was not great.

Campground was lovely. Wonderful pool/hot tub. Lots of green space. We rented kayaks and enjoyed our time on the lake for a couple of hours. Lower laundry facility (near the playground) was clean and reasonably priced. Small, so only two washers/two dryers, but was not busy early in the morning. Bathrooms were clean, but no showers in this building.

Used the showers near the upper pool. Good pressure, but the water was stinky. Did not notice the same smell at the lower bathroom/laundry.

Campground is a little pricey, but it is clean, in a pretty area and convenient to West Salem and Onalaska.

We stayed here due to it being close to a family wedding. This is not our type of camping with no separation between sites, large campground with many people and high cost. It served the purpose.
