Fort McCoy’s Pine View Campground, in Wisconsin is set to welcome a new comfort station that is expected to provide guests with modern amenities, including men’s and women’s restrooms, showers, and a fish cleaning station.
The 1,500-square-foot facility is located on a part of the campground that had never had a station before, making it a valuable addition for guests seeking more convenience during their stay.
The construction of the new comfort station was carried out by MDM Construction, headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, for a contract amount of $475,736.
The facility will be turned over to the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, following the completion of some punch list items and the installation of the fish cleaning station being relocated from elsewhere on the campground.
Alex Karis, a representative of the Fort McCoy DFMWR, expressed his excitement about the new comfort station and noted that it would make the side of the lake more attractive to guests and more efficient for everyone.
He added, “It’s a nice facility, and we definitely look forward to having it available there.”
The addition of the new comfort station to Pine View Campground can serve as an inspiration by private campground owners and operators in the nearby area to improve their amenities as well.
The Pine View Recreation Area, which includes the campground, is managed by Fort McCoy DFMWR and offers acres of publicly accessible land with hiking trails, Whitetail Ridge Ski Area, and the Sportsman’s Range. Visitors to the area can enjoy year-round activities such as camping, hiking, fishing, and more.
In addition to the new comfort station, the campground reservation office is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and guests can reserve a site or a cabin by calling 608-388-3517.

Fort McCoy, located in the heart of the upper Midwest, is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
The addition of the new comfort station to Pine View Campground is part of Fort McCoy’s commitment to being the “Total Force Training Center.”
