Highland Ridge

About

Highland Ridge Campground sits on the north side of the Eau Galle Dam and Reservoir in Spring Valley, Wisconsin. The 35-mile Eau Galle River feeds into this 150-acre lake surrounded by steep hills and bluffs. The heavily wooded campground provides habitat for native wildlife and offers a variety of camping options across its 46 sites. The main Forest Loop (formerly Highland Ridge) contains 38 standard sites, many with 50/30/20-amp electric hookups, plus walk-in tent sites and group camping areas. The Prairie Loop (formerly Equestrian Loop) provides 10 electric sites specifically designed for horse camping, complete with manure pits, hitching posts, and vault toilets. Both loops share access to showers, trash and recycling stations, water fill stations, and a dump station. Recreation opportunities abound with 7 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, overlook seating areas, and a swimming beach. The lake supports year-round fishing and accommodates kayaks, canoes, and electric-motor boats. Nearby attractions include Spring Valley Golf Course, Crystal Cave, and the Red Cedar Bike Trail.
