Activities

There’s so much to see and do!

Green County, Wisconsin, is a charming region known for its strong Swiss heritage, picturesque green hills, and thriving dairy industry. Visitors can immerse themselves in Swiss culture in the village of New Glarus, while the county seat, Monroe, is celebrated as “Cheese Capital U.S.A.”. The area offers outdoor recreation along the scenic Sugar River, as well as breweries, wineries, and the historic National Historic Cheesemaking Center. The Cheese Country Trail and the over 150 barn quilts add to the county’s unique rural character.

This great brewery is only about 30 minutes from our campground! They employ 100% natural ingredients to produce world class, handcrafted beers.

Book a tour, shop in its quaint gift shop, enjoy tastings, and more!

The Sugar River State Trail follows an abandoned railroad line in south central Wisconsin for 24 miles from New Glarus to Brodhead.

Fourteen trestle bridges cross over the Sugar River and its tributaries, while the trail passes by farmlands, woods, rolling hills, scenic meadows, remnant prairies, and glacial topography.

North of Brodhead, the trail goes over a replica covered bridge. The trail has also been designated as a National Recreational Trail.

Based around the stunning vintage aircraft that our namesake Alfred Kelch collected, our museum brings the story of the Golden Age of Aviation to life. The aviation legacy of the years between the World Wars changed the course of history, and at Kelch Aviation Museum we keep that legacy alive through education, preservation, and good old barnstormer-style pizazz.

Our collection includes 19 vintage aircraft, 3 vintage automobiles, 10,000 aviation books, 12 original aircraft engines, cabinets of photo collections, and dozens of models, works of art, and one-of-a-kind treasures! Whether you’re a Snoopy-and-the-Red-Baron fan or a researcher sleuthing out original aircraft blueprints, we have something to fascinate you!
