A quaint philosophy prevails here at Hoofbeat Ridge. We want to provide our campers an opportunity to develop new friendships, become more self-reliant and foster an appreciation of our land and animal life in a safe, non-competitive family atmosphere. Surrounded by 250 scenic acres, we are set high in the rolling hills overlooking the Wisconsin River Valley.
