"Blackhawk Park was a nice park and Campground in the channels of the Mississippi River near De Soto Wisconsin. There is a great many number of campground sites to reserve. They have some nice playground areas, picnic areas, shelters, plenty of shoreline to do some fishing as well. The fishing you can experience here is excellent, with many species of fish available to fish for. Lots of diversity in their forest trees as well. Its a nice spot just a minute or two off the Great River road."
"Blackhawk lake campground is another fine example of the core of engineers campgrounds. I travel out lot across the country by camper van and find that the Corp’s campgrounds are so well-maintained and this one is no exception. The entire area is beautiful and the facilities in the bathroom were well maintained."
"Enjoy the park, nice big sites. We are here during Turtle season. They have been laying eggs right near our rig. We have enjoyed driving The Great River Hwy."
"Very nice and helpful park personal. Very spacious spaces electric and non. Well maintained shower/ restrooms. Trails to explore. Beach and playground for the young and young at heart. There is a wheelchair accessible fishing dock and restroom in the back. Thank make it fun for everyone."
"This is a clean, well cared for campground. You can't beat COE parks for affordable camping. The park staff was very friendly and helpful also. The bathrooms were modern and clean. We loved it here! Note: there is high manganese levels in their water. There is a filter on one of the spigots but it would be best to arrive with plenty of your own drinking water."
