Rainbow's End Campground

Location: Reedsville, WI
Site#: 13, then 21
Type of hookups: Water, 50 AMP, and at site 21 we had a 300 gallon black tank (which they pumped upon request for 9.00/pump).
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: Yes depending on the site, but with our Alpha Network Adapter it worked fined. We also used our Verizon Aircard
Cable: No, but Sateliite and Air coverage was fine.
Pros: Nice campground for us in our hometown area with 50 amp hookup. This campground does not have a lot of amenities that attracts kids, so it is a very quite campground which is what we enjoyed about it SO MUCH! The owner Norm goes out of his way to make sure you are happy and have what you need to be comfortable.
Cons: The only thing that would make it better for us would be sewer hookups, but that is not something that is easy to find in WI campgrounds.
Cost: $420.00/ month (This includes electricity, but does not include the pumping of the black tank at 9.00/pump. We pumped out about every 2 weeks as we do our own laundry).
Rating: 7.75
Notes: This campground worked out very well for us while we completed all our annual checkups, and visited with family and friends. We will spend a couple months back here next summer.
