The majority of Pine View Campground in Pine View Recreation Area at Fort McCoy closed Dec. 1, said officials with the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR).
Supervisory Recreation Specialist (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, 2026. Obviously, if weather’s a little bit nicer, we’ll look at opening it up earlier. Our Directorate of Public Works has 30 days to get the comfort stations open. And I don't want to put those requests in too early and all of a sudden they open up and then we get that big April freeze or snowfall and have damages.”
May 1, 2026, falls on a Friday and also coincides with the opening day of fishing season on post so that will be the goal to reopen the campground for the next season, Karis said.
Cabins at Pine View Campground, which are available year-round, 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.”
