Camping on the Peshtigo River!
Whitewater Rafting is not the only thing we have to offer at Kosir’s Rapid Rafts. Our large, wooded campground is just steps away from our Peshtigo River Office in Silver Cliff, WI.
Our campground offers a range of campsites including sites with water and electric hook-up for RVs and trails and large sites for groups such as scouts or family reunions. All sites are wooded, roomy, and a fire pit. Our shower house offers hot showers and flush toilets. In addition, running water and pit toilets are conveniently located throughout the campground.
We have volleyball and horseshoes available for your use, all within a few short steps of the Peshtigo River. In addition, hiking, biking, swimming and fishing are all located within minutes of our location. For those of you with a GPS, bring it along, there are hundreds of caches in the area as well as the Michigan area near the Menominee River.
Firewood is available at the camp office along with other campground convenience items. Firewood CAN NOT be brought into the campground, unless it originates less than 25 miles from our campground. This is to prevent the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer and other invasive forest pests and diseases in our campground and surrounding area. Ice and packaged goods are available right next door at the Rapids Resort.
