Campsite: Rome Riverside Campground

Rome riverside is the spot to be! Tom & Heather (owners/operators ) go above and beyond to make sure your time there is enjoyable and relaxing. The camp grounds and services are super clean and well laid out. It is located in the quaint small town of Sullivan, WI with a general store in walking distance that’s well appointed with any sundries you might need during your stay. As well the Black Frog Grill is just a short ride down the road and offers really decent food/drinks/service. This was my first visit but it won’t be my last. Almost every year since 2001 I’ve tried to attend at least one concert at Alpine Valley Amphitheater in East Troy, WI. Over the years I have stayed at the Cove hotel in Lake Geneva, rented Airbnb‘s in the East Troy area, I’ve stayed at McIntyre‘s resort, the comfort inn, the Grand Geneva and I’ve also stayed at several of the different most popular camp sites. I must say there are a lot of options that cater to the alpine valley concert crowds but after the absolutely wonderful time here at Rome Riverside I will be calling this home for all future Alpine Shows!!! Even if you’re not going to attend a show this campground would be great for setting up the RV for the summer or a quick weekend. Like I said the campground is well laid out and Tom and Heather are smart individuals so they know how to keep everyone happy and co existing . The front of the campground is mostly dedicated to those staying more than just a couple days and they have full RV pads/hookups. But the front does also have a nice little park area for some tent camping and daytime activities. As well as clean and robust INDOOR BATHROOMS W/ HOT SHOWERS! They even have cool mobile home sites with decks and patios ready for you to pull up and settle in for the whole season. The back area of the campground is all beautiful grass fields with mature trees and it’s designated for tent camping. For weekends that have shows at Alpine (like my recent stay) they turn the whole tent camping area into a exclusive area for the show attendees and even offered shuttle buses to/from the venue as a very reasonable add on option to the camp site fee. Not to mention they had a wonderful grounds crew that was readily available to provide what ever I needed during my stay and trust me I asked for a lot!!! Lol, I asked for a rake, I asked for ice, I asked for first aid supplies and I asked for extra leveling blocks for my RV. I mean it was quite unbelievable the level of customer service I received. Every time I asked they had what I needed and they gave it to me with a smile on their face. As I mentioned I had an RV and although the back area is normally designated for tent only camping Tom has sectioned off several 50 x 50‘ RV spots that he had staked out with numbers and so whether you’re coming to see a show in a tent or in an RV he will have a spot for you. And it was really nice that he kept all the show goers in the same back area regardless of what they were staying in because it made it convenient for everyone to get on and off of the shuttle and feel like a community and have camaraderie with fellow show goers. Plus it afforded us the option to stay up late, have a bonfire, play music and instruments and it have no negative impact to those staying at the campground who were not attending the Alpine shows. In addition to the grounds crew there was a small security outfit that gave you the peace of mind that’s needed to relax but in no way did they ever infringe on our fun or make us feel “watched”. Honestly their presence was so understated that I forgot there was any! Which is exactly how you want it to be. Whether you’re coming for a quiet camping weekend with the family or you’re gonna go see Phish at Alpine and want to cut loose Tom has it down to a science. The vibe was perfect, the accommodations were exceptional and if you’re looking for a place that’s not rigid or stuffy that attracts chill adults this is the place for you. It was drama free, degenerate free and nothing but love!
