Whitetail Ridge Campground

Hey all sorry I haven't been posting much on here and keeping everyone informed about us. Been preoccupied with "Life" - So I have some GREAT news to share!

We finally found a seasonal campsite from April 1, 2012 to Sept. 2012 it is called White Tail Ridge Campground. We are so excited and have been paying on our site to go there at the end of next month already. We will be there a month ahead of time then everyone else, but that is ok with us. We will get everything set up they way we want it before everyone comes by. I was told I could make my own little garden in the ground if I wanted too. But I am going to have them in pots instead. I am especially excited to finally get out of this COLD duplex and to be able to sit in a WARM place during the day! We will also have WiFi there too, so I will still be able to get online when Don is at work and I can show you all the wonderful photos of this place on my blog. :-)

Here is the LINK to White Tail Ridge Campground

We are allowed to bring our ATV's there and set them on our campsite too. So we will have all three there with us. Yes as I said on my facebook wall - if anyone is interested in going with us atv'ing you are more then welcome to drive out there and go with us. This campground is near the ATV trails. A ATVer dream come true! I have noticed that is one thing that I am able to do today is still ride on my ATV. Ya know I should be able to do some things in life that I enjoy. My doc knows that I am doing this as long as I am not hurting any otherwise he told me to stop doing it then. So far so good. I have to enjoy my life somehow! Yes and as you all know my service dog goes EVERYWHERE with me, tubing down the river and also Atv'ing now too! So why not! Jeff & Tammy of White Tail Ridge are also going to experience having a service dog around too and they are looking forward to meeting him as well.

Ok this campground is beautiful but one down fall no lake or swimming pool. BUT they put on MANY different activities for all that camp there! Atv poker runs, Family Atv rides, Bands, dancing, potlucks, family games, meat raffles and more! They have a bar there and MANY people come there all year too. We are excited to be a part of this BIG white Tail Ridge camping family. This might be a place that we will come back too when we come back to visit Wisconsin for a season. We will have to wait and see! The bar down below has the campground showers and bathrooms too. This place is actually open all year around because of ice fishermen. We found out when there are bad storms that the owners come around to each campsite to warn ya and tell you that you need to come down to the bar or go into the bathrooms for shelter. So that for me is a plus! I can't handle bad storms still today after the Leesome Lake Campground experience.( Just ask me or my parents about it sometime). We think that is great how they go around to warn everyone.

The site that we pick out is way up in the woods and so we are going to have trees all around us. Which is nice in the summer for the shade. But not so good for bad storms..so hopefully those trees are strong and sturdy eh!

Well here are some photos to share: Read below them to see what they are.

When you first come into the campground. 

These are campsites for people on the weekends and weekdays.

Also just across from the blue there on the corner is some more

campsites like these in the trees more. 

off on the left is those other campsites on the corner near the trees.

This is still those campsites looking back where we came in.

Looking up towards where our campsite is in the woods.

Our campsite is BIG ya think! We will in between those two. 

Looking back....just beyond that trailer is a nature walk trail.

Rusty and I are going to use it! 

Looking straight from our campsite, in these woods there is a natural stream.

Going towards the entrance - this is the bar and 

the showers and bathrooms are behind it  - we will be using this in April. 

There is no swimming pool or lake here but they are close by a few lakes which are: 

Bear lake

Ripley Lake

&

Shell Lake Beach

You can also take a hike on their scenic nature, walking, & bike trail through 40 acres of mature trees crossing the stream, while enjoying an abundance of wildlife too.

Or go on the ATV trails which the trail a joins their property.

Many come to dance here...lol I even found out that my physical therapist Tom, comes to go dancing here with his wife. I was told that the owners are quite the dancers! 

This campground actually goes way back out into the woods yet! We were amazed how many campsites there are here.
