Wild West Campground & Corral

Brittney Silas

CLEARLY NEED TO READ REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING ANYWHERE: booked Easter weekend 2022 THE OWNER JAY!!! IS RUDE AND ARROGANT!! 1. Playground is shameful super outdated 2. No game room 3. No walking trails 4. Nothing to do for kids Anyone from Wisconsin- or those camping in Wisconsin. BEAWARE OF WILDWEST CAMP GROUND. This last weekend we were supposed to camp at Wildwest Camp Ground and Corral in Amherst. We decided to call and see if we could swamp campsite for a cabin. He said yes however he sounded annoyed due to not having the cabins cleaned. I asked about coming later and he said no noon. CHeck in is still fine, they aren’t busy. We received an email stating we wouldn’t have water due to the weather. We also called and he told us our site number and that we are as close as we can get to the bathhouse for going to the bathroom. Once we arrived he stated “good thing it’s cleaned I thought you said 1:00pm. I did explain he indicated check in time was ok with noon.” okay no argument there his main building was freezing as I aspected to walk into something warm. He also made the comment “Where do you expect to go to the bathroom?” I was puzzled as we talked about the bathhouse, I was under the impression our site didn’t have water.” He told me no, there is no water, but we could use the restroom in the main hall, he would have an outside door for us to use.” okay no big deal just now showers for the weekend. Then we checked in ordered fire wood then found out we couldn’t have a fire due to the weather (wind) okay? So why let me purchase wood. We didn’t ride horses as we planned due to weather and having a 3 year old. Website also states WiFi throughout camp ground WiFi didn’t work either. So after our time of improvising because that’s what we do. We all used the restroom at 7:30pm, talked to the owner and he advised 9-10pm he closes up shop. I had asked, then later that night/morning at 2:30am I had to go to the bathroom I walked down and it was locked. I thought maybe someone was in there but no. My daughter (17) attempted earlier at midnight but assumed someone was in there (for the record is was her time of the month) bathroom is crucial. I had to drive us to Kwik trip we attempted to use the restroom until the following morning until 10:00am everything was still closed we packed up and left. Also I want to add he ”cleaned” the cabin but found a sock in the bed from someone prior a comb in the other bed. Dead lady bugs everywhere, whatever not a big deal but don’t go into detail how much of a pain it was to clean the cabin when you didn’t clean it. Maybe it’s different in the summer but unfortunately I don’t think we will be back 😞

No mounting block so be prepared to heave yourself into the saddle. I have not mounted from the ground in years but I managed it somehow. This is the first trail ride I've been on in ages where no helmet was offered so you might want to bring your own if that is important to you. Guides were friendly and paying attention, trails were nice and we lucked out with a beautiful day. Horses seemed well cared for and were cooperative.

Our daughter has attended the horse camp here the last 4 years. She always has a great time, home cooked meals and raves about how great the staff are. She usually comes home exhausted from having non stop fun. In addition to spending great time with some amazing horses, they also get to do other typical camp experiences which is great! I would highly recommend!

This is a awesome campground quite IS Great for relaxing and getting away from it all. The 45 min. horseback ride is a great experience. And the Steak Dinner that night was awesome.
