Grant River

The smell coming from the pit toilets was repulsive, when contacting the staff was told, it would be taken care of, but it never was, ruined our weekend.

Grant River Recreation Area offers a well-shaded campground with most of the sites offering a view of the mighty Mississippi. The original reservation we had was the end of May into June, but unfortunately the river was flooding, so we moved our reservation to about a month later. By that time, the clean-up crew had done an excellent job getting the campground cleaned up and back in business. In fact everything about this campground is well maintained, including the restrooms/showers. I especially appreciate the ceiling fans in the restrooms which keep them drier and cleaner during the humid days of summer. Nearby the campground is the little town of Potosi, home of the Potosi Brewery and Museum. A wonderful place to relax (outside on the patio if the weather's good, or indoors, otherwise), have a beer(s) with a very good lunch and supper menu, and on Sundays during the summer and early fall, they offer breakfast. Across the street from the brewery is a wine shop, a smaller bar (very cute, as well) and a large event center which is often booked for weddings, parties, or area occasions. The area surrounding Potosi consists of lovely, wooded hills, deep valleys, and is part of the Great River Road Scenic Byway. There's so many interesting sights nearby that I can't list them all, but I recommend the trip to everyone who enjoys beautiful scenery with lots of opportunities to stop often for a closer look.

no wi fi. need wifi,

We come and camp every year in August for Brewfest in Potosi. We love camping at Grant River. Great fishing, beautiful kept camp grounds. Brag it up to everyone.

Always great!

We love the quiet surroundings and the beautiful upkeep of the campground. We have never been disappointed at any time we have camped here.

Found this gem after Labor Day. Right on the river with a scenic view of the river. We enjoyed the evening and sunset from the shores of the Mississippi. Very laid back and quite. The only reason it doesn't rate 5 stars was because of the trains going past thru the night. But we still were very happy and we will be back!

Camped during the week, not crowded. Very fun. Rode our bikes into Potosi.

Beautiful campground right on the river with perfect sunsets to watch every night. Trains, plenty of trains go by at several per hour and we love them. If you want peace and quiet this isn't for you! After a day it's no big deal. Campground upkeep was immaculate. We will be back. Potosi brewery was a few miles away as are many places to visit. Hidden WI gem down here!

One of our favorite campsite!
