This year's fall campout will be held at Buckhorn State Park. Established in 1971, Buckhorn includes a 4,500-acre park and wildlife area, a peninsula in the Castle Rock Flowage of the Wisconsin River, and land along the Yellow River--a paradise for water recreationists, hunters, hikers and nature lovers. There are 68 family campsites that can accommodate tents or trailers. Each family site has a picnic table and campfire ring. There are also 50 cart-in/backpacking sites and a group camping area. Other features of the park include a two-level accessible wildlife blind, accessible cabin, accessible fishing pier and waterfowl hunting blinds.

The event will be held from 9am-3pm.
