The majority of Pine View Campground at Fort McCoy will close Dec. 1, said officials with the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR).
DFMWR’s Alex Karis said campsites will not be available between Dec. 1 and April 30, 2024.
“Camping closes starting Dec. 1, but we have 16 cabins that are still available to rent throughout the winter months along with our ‘stay and play’ package for Whitetail Ridge Ski Area, which is if you stay Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday in a cabin, you will receive four tubing passes to use at Whitetail Ridge.”
Cabins range from one bedroom with loft (park model type) to two-bedroom units.
The Pine View Campground office and the Fort McCoy Equipment Check-out will remain open, Karis said. The office will be manned since there will be cabin guests, and they’ll handle reservations for camping in spring/summer.
“Equipment check-out also will be available, but business volume in that area is very low in the winter,” Karis said. “When there is enough snow, too, people can check out cross-country skis and snowshoes through Whitetail Ridge as well. Anyone with questions about any of equipment check-out items should call the Pine View Campground office at 608-388-3517.”
Karis said he encourages people to explore the miles of hiking trails in the Pine View Recreation Area even in the winter as they offer scenic views and great opportunities for hiking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing.
“Hiking trails to places like Trout Falls on the La Crosse River are close to our cabins, and we also have Suukjak Sep Lake, which is right next to many of the cabins,” Karis said. “So even with the campsites closed, stopping here in winter and staying in the cabins by going to the ski area or going hiking in the recreation area can be a great experience.”
