The majority of Pine View Campground in Pine View Recreation Area at Fort McCoy will close Dec. 1, said officials with the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR).
Recreation Specialist and Facility Manager Alex Karis said campsites will not be available between Dec. 1 and April 30, 2025.
Every year, come Dec 1, the campsites are closed for the winter,” Karis said. “We do this to prevent issues with the water hydrants and limit the amount of snow removal needed.
“Cabins are still open and available during the winter months,” Karis said. “Campsites will open back up on May 1, 2025.”
Cabins at Pine View Campground 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 also remain open, Karis said.
“The office will be manned as we’ll have cabin guests, and they’ll handle reservations for camping in spring/summer. Equipment check-out will be available, but business volume in that area is very low in the winter.”
Following are the cabin rental rates at Pine View Campground:
• duplexes — military or Department of Defense (DOD) employee rate, $100 Sunday-Thursday, $115 Friday-Saturday; general public, $110, Sunday-Thursday, $135 Friday-Saturday.
