This is a very private location. In its former life this property was a limestone quarry. Evidence of it's history remain with high rock walls on both ends of the property. In the center of the property is about 5 acres that is flat and covered with wildflowers and small trees. There are several good options for camping in this area. Surrounding this area is another 15 acres of hills and trees. We have a scenic overlook open to all guests where you can relax and sit on a wooden swing while enjoying the beautiful view of the Mississippi River below. There is a boat ramp just a mile down the hill for boating or fishing on the Mississippi and the city of La Crosse, WI and La Crescent, MN are each only about a five minute drive. Great River Bluffs State Park and countless other recreational opportunities are just minutes away.This is a very private location.  In its former life this property was a limestone quarry.  Evidence of it's history remain with high rock walls on both ends of the property.

We loved camping here! The sites were private and it had a beautiful overlook of the river. Our dog loved his first camping trip at Erica's!

Must stay if in area
Erica’s campsite was easy to find with the clear directions provided. The site was a beautiful and quiet. There were a lot of native flowers to look at and the port-a-potty is the cleanest one I have encountered in the entirety of my life. The views of the Mississippi River are worth the 5 minute hike.

We had two sites out of four at this location. The sites were spread out. As there were four dogs among us, we particularly appreciated the ability to have them off leash. This is a unique site with high rock walls and a beautiful overlook with swinging bench. It is also close to several recreational opportunities as well as other locations of interest. I would definitely consider this location again.
