We had several rv's in our group and the sites were located close to each other and was an enjoyable stay. It was the first stop on our way to South Dakota. I highly recommend your campground to anyone traveling to the LaCrosse area. Our friends used the pool, restrooms and showers and they commented on how nice they were.

We stayed in a cabin for a couple nights. It would be great for people with young kids, but the layout isn’t great for just a couple as the main bed is directly under a bunk bed with no head room. The hot water heater is really small, so multiple showers in a row is not a reality. It was pretty much a 30 second shower, get in and get out. If you were in the military, you’ll understand. The bathroom floor needed some maintenance and the floors of the cabin needed a good cleaning. Other than that it was a good experience, just a little high priced.

Campground very clean and well taken care-of. Personnel were always busy mowing, cleaning, picking up trash. Office/store was well stocked with camping essentials. Girl at desk very helpful. We stayed at site 179...what a great view of the lake!

We have been going to Neshonoc for over many years. Each year the campground declines.

The amenities are reduced year after year. The grounds are looking worse and worse each year.

In the most recent 5 years here are some notable changes:

1. Reduction of Pools from 2 to 1.
2. Reduction of Shower Houses from 2 to 1.
3. Grounds are not kept up with. There used to be a gorgeous hill, this year it was a snake breeding ground of high tall grass.
4. Friday Movie Night is no longer a thing.
5. Consistent Office/Sugar Shack hours. We were told the sugar shack was closed on a hot, middle of the day for cleaning. Office closes earlier than it ever had.
6. Reduction in security. There used to be staff at the guard shack to help new comers come in.
7. Price has doubled. For a weekend site, reviewing receipts from 2019 to today and the price has doubled.
8. The stairs to go up to the top hill is broken, caution tape was up and hasn't been fixed all year.
9. Remodel of the shower houses that exist, do not have locking doors.
10. Activities are very lack luster, nothing to promote a community.
11. Golf Cart parades are no longer happening.
12. 100% turnover in staff at least 2 times in 5 years.

I noticed during my stay that there were more open spots than there had ever been in the past. There's no doubt in my mind that these spots are not being filled because the campground is deteriorating. Of course, they cannot be without their money, therefore the loyal people that continue to stay at this campground gets the shaft and has their bills doubled.

This appears to be just another case of corporate greed trying to take advantage of the people who actually make up this campground.

Hurtful to see a campground with SO MUCH POTENTIAL, being run into the ground. More than 20 open seasonal sites.
Ownership should take a serious look at improving the overall atmosphere at this most scenic location

Lower Pool has been closed for years now, still sits empty, lower bathroom has been closed for 2 years replaced with porta potty. Office hours reduced, no security, kids driving the rental carts on the weekends, people not camping drive in and use the pool for free, horse shoe pits have grass growing in them, rates rise and amenities get reduced, a bunch of permanent sites are now open as people are leaving and this never use to be this way. I could go on and on.

Please fix the cabin beds, the hot tub, the sulfuric smell of the hot water and the upper showers. The price is increasing yet the conditions have significantly decreased. The price for the cabins and the campsites have increased yet the services and amenities have decreased.

This campground has failed and continues to fail over the years.
Management doesn’t care about their seasonal or weekend campers.
Grass hasn’t been taken care of since it’s been open with the excuse of rain. Bathrooms still are not fully functional, the park is a mess, and no one seems to care. It is excuse after excuse.
Seasonals are supposed to be kept to a standard and keep their area in good shape, but yet the campground can’t even get the grass cut.
Paying the seasonal rate is ridiculous if this campground can’t get it together.

We were very disappointed to learn that one of the two pools was again not operational (last year it was down too) and to find out they are not going to fix it. One of the reasons we come to Neshonoc is because it has two pools. It real needs both with how many people are there between seasonal and weekend campers.
Another low rating was for the dirty men’s restroom. You should not advertise that you have two pools when one is not open.

The nighttime fire show was cool.

We may be finding another campground for next year. Very torn because we love the views and the area.

Neshonoc Campground in West Salem Wisconsin is a great place for family. The upper pool is great, along with the park area, volleyball, pit, and basketball court. They have lots of kids, activities, and some things for adults as well. What is lacking? The unsightly lower pool that is not functioning Since Covid! For three years campers were told a new pool was being built and now that’s off the table. Even though our rates have gone up every year, the staffing has gone down. Lots of grass left unmowed, even though we are expected to mow our grass every week , even during the rains we did it! The grounds look terrible for the first three months of the year (April-June). We even had a great winter in terms of outdoor availability, and still the grounds left a lot to be desired. New management would help to turn this around . Someone who cares and stays on site, hangs out on the weekends when all the activities and people are there. You get to know people that way. It’s a shame this campground isn’t given priority by corporate ownership. This WAS one of the best in the area just 7 years ago!!! It’s fine if you’re a weekend camper where all the amenities are outside your camper door. Not so much for the seasonals who pay the corporate bills!
