Summer Vacations Within Driving Distance
Kid Friendly Camping
Whether your family likes to camp in a tent or an RV, remotely
or right by the action, you’ll find a spot to set up camp in Wisconsin. Load up
your camping gear and get ready for some fun and don’t forget to pack the
marshmallows!
Consider Stoney Creek RV Resort & Campground in Osseo.
Here you’ll find a kiddie pool full of fun play structures your toddler is sure
to enjoy while older kids can swim in the deeper pool. Family members of all
ages can also enjoy playing volleyball, basketball or mini golf! All this
within 30 minutes of Eau Claire!
Your family may also enjoy Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in
Warrens. Being kid-friendly is the signature of the park! They have a full
waterpark with slides, wading pools and lazy rivers, swimming pools, golf carts
to zip around the campground, children’s crafts and programs, and weekend
entertainment such as puppet shows, hypnotists, bands and choirs for young and
old. The park also has fishing ponds stocked with pan fish for eager fishermen.
This trip is just over an hour from Eau Claire!
Dog Friendly – Door County
As some of you may know, Eau Claire Ford Lincoln & Quick
Lane welcomes all well-behaved dogs and their people, too! So, we appreciate
other places that welcome man’s best friend!
Door County is about 3.5 hours from Eau Claire and is well known
for their wineries and amazing scenery, but many locals also know that Fido is
welcome, too! Plan to stay at the Country House Resort in Sister Bay where dogs
are welcomed with goody bags that include an all-natural treat, dog towels and
a list of local canine hot spots.
Be sure to check out Door County Kayak Tours in Fish Creek
where dogs are welcome to join tours through caves, sand dunes and shipwrecks
on calm days. Try some of Door County’s famous wine at Simon Creek vineyard and
Winery in Jacksonport (dogs welcome outside) or at Lautenbach’s Orchard Country
Winery in Fish Creek where dogs are welcome throughout the grounds, especially
during apple and cherry picking! Wind down at Northern Sky Theatre or Skyway
Drive-In Theatre both in Fish Creek where leashed dogs are welcome to enjoy the
performances and shows!
Couple’s Weekend Get Away
Canoe Bay Resort is right along the Chetek Lake just under an
hour from Eau Claire.
Parents be aware – no one under 21 is allowed at the resort
so plan to take this weekend for yourselves!
