Where To Stay

Remote camping
The state forest has 10 designated remote campsites. Three sites are located on the Johnson Falls Flowage and canoeists/kayakers can launch from boat landing #14. Currently, there are no marked hiking trails to the sites. Hikers can follow volunteer trails or use the GPS coordinates to find the sites. Seven additional sites are located on the Peshtigo River between the Johnson Falls Dam and Spring Rapids. Various launches are available downstream from the dam. A free permit is required to be filed with the forest office before camping on a remote site.

Boat-in camping

Whitewater Rafting is not the only thing we have to offer at Kosir’s Whitewater Rafting. 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-ups for RVs, and larger group campsites for scout groups, family reunions, etc...  All sites are wooded, roomy, and include a fire pit. Our shower house offers hot showers and flush toilets. In addition, pit toilets are located throughout the campgrounds. Camping check in and check out is at any time unless otherwise stated when making your reservation. 

We have sand 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.

You will be assigned a site that accommodates your group size at check in. Site requests can be made but are not guaranteed!*

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.
