Lots of playgrounds for kids age 2-10. Pit toilets smell- I’d avoid sites around them. Hot Showers by lot 30 and at pool. Pool is not heated as stated- definitely not 80 degrees. West tower is the best for sunsets. Site 75 was nice as it was a bit back from the road and you can’t see your neighbors.
ScoutWe needed a place after visiting the House on the Rock and couldn't find anything with hookups nearby. We stumbled upon Tom's Campground hoping to find a site. We pulled in and Tom met us at our camper as soon as we got to the top of the hill and before we even got out. He was very friendly and informative. Showers were good enough but we aren't picky, 7 minutes for $0.25. The area was beautiful.

Unfortunately, I can no longer say this is a great, affordable place to stay. The weekly rates increased by over $75 a week for the full hookup sites this season.
There was also a link to last years pricing still active until 4/16 that has since been deactivated when I asked to have my pricing adjusted to that amount. Seems deceptive to me, having 2 different prices in 2 different places on their site. They will not honor the price and told me if I don't like it I can find somewhere else to camp.
Also, they no longer offer kayaks, which was the big draw to the campground.
We may keep our reservation this year, but likely won't be back next season.

I’m a tent camper so tucked in the back was great. It’s a bit of a normal RV easy camping almost glamping with the amenities around.
RangerFriendly and well kept.

Campground is convenient to Galena and Dubuque. We stayed in site 73, which they call a double. If the campground is full, it would be pretty tight. No negatives I encountered here to mention.
ScoutGreat place. Super clean and very nice RV spots. Highly recommend.

We stayed for a night while passing through - ended up picking site #58 w/electric. It was next to the restrooms and water fountain, which was convenient. The campground road and sites were a bit curvy and heavily wooded, there's no way Starlink would work in the area we stayed and ATT was limited. I do think the campground has more to offer though; our stay was a short one because of our trip. Overall the night was quiet and enjoyable
TravelerCampground was clean and quiet. Bathrooms and showers were very nice! It gets very quiet earlier than I expected. My only complaint is that firewood was expensive! But I’d definitely stay again!

Main CG has primitive and electric sites on gravel pads, restrooms/showers, dump station, Nature Center, play area, along Bear Creek. Trails are very cool, especially up the bluff to the watchtower, swinging bridge, and backpack sites.
Traveler
Catering to RV life style with lots of amenities such as restaurant, beach bar, water feature with floating water obstacle course, pool and more. Occasionally live music is on the beach. For us, the freight trains crushed the experience. Trains ran all night long, park is near a crossing so trains sound the horn each time they pass. We had an infant with us so we were up all night however we spoke with people who stay there often and they said you get acclimated. I gave this site 3 stars because the staff and amenities are great but can not give 5 starts due to the location in proximity to the trains. It really is a bummer.
Traveler
Mostly a seasonal campground, only has 4 sites that are for weekenders. Very nice folks running the place. The neighbors where also very welcoming. Sites were closer then I would like would be the only negative. Nature reserve accessible from campground. We took several walks and bike rides around it. There is also a pool and a club house on property, however we did not visit them. There is ATT service, but not strong. There is also WiFi, but also not strong. We will be back.
GuideThis park had nice trails and was beautiful in fall. Would be great in the summer for little kids with the splash pad. Wish there was some body of water for fishing.
Scout
We like the upper campground the best the lower campground the lower loop had a lot of small campsites
GuideAbsolutely beautiful location. They are open into November. Enjoying the fall colors and cool weather.
GuideSome sites were tight and the lack of fire rings was disappointing.
TravelerVery spacious, grassy and clean. There are a lot of people with RVs so it’s pretty lively. There is a Walmart right next to it. The bathrooms are clean. They host events like mini golf. Swings and playground for kids. Would stay there again
GuideSo much to do here. The sunsets are amazing. I saw wildlife (deer, turkeys) almost every day.
GuideGorgeous state park with tons of hiking and biking trails. Views are outstanding ! Bathrooms even the vault ones very clean. Near the cute small town blue mounds and mount Horeb. Be sure to go to cave of the mounds!
TravelerThe sites are very well isolated and shaded, and have a well maintained gravel and packed earth surface. Not great for staking a tent, but doable. Excellent for RVs but some sites are non-electric. There are no other hookups, but there is a dump station. Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table. Many sites have a slight slope. Trail access to both the state park trails and to the Military Ridge Trail which runs nearby.
I stayed two nights in a tent and really struggled to find an ok spot on my site to pitch it, between the slope and the occasional roots and rocks. I managed to get stakes in but only at great effort. It looked like some other sites may have been better suited.
There is a raccoon problem here. They were definitely snooping through my things on the first night. Heard coyotes during the night in the distance.
Overall I'm pretty happy with my stay due to the location in the park, and most of the issues I had would be moot with an RV.
Traveler
This campground is absolutely wonderful. Spots are spaced apart nicely. Many activities for kids and adults. Also, a pool, showers and if you just want a weekend getaway they have cabins as well.
TravelerCrazy horse is a very clean and well maintained campground with a lot of things to do like river tubing, kayaking, and canoeing.
Also they gave a slot of amenities for the kids like mini golf , jump pad, play grounds and a pool.
TravelerChose this campground for the low light pollution in order to watch a meteor shower. Very nice recreation area with a nice beach. Two cons worth noting, but not enough to dock a rating; 1) it cost $7 per day extra for the vehicle I used to tow my camper to the campsite, wtf! 2) popular with young families, so it got loud on the weekend.
Scout
Love it. Very clean. Trees for shade and concrete pads with pull thru. Live music and activities for all ages. Will be back.
TravelerClean campground with lots of things for the kids to do. Clean shower house with good water pressure! Prices have gone up this year but that’s true if most campgrounds.
GuideWe have camped here twice once in the fall once in the summer during the summer they provide at no charge kayaks and a shuttle to a drop-off point which you can kayak back down to the campground which takes about an hour and a half they space out the shuttles very well so you are not running into the people from the last shuttle. We go for the kayaking and if you have a second vehicle you can continue on down river another eight miles which is approximately six hours to the next point that you can get out at. The campsite we stay at is Water and Electric and it's right along the river when you pull in to set up camp you'll be facing the water which is nice you're not staring at neighbors campers
LegendWe visited on July 4th weekend. This campground is very clean and both shower house and vault toilets are as well. Sites are well spaced and each have fire pit/grill and picnic table. Some are electric and map shows them as numbered E sites.
This campground has a nice playground, hiking trails both short and longer and bike trails. It is a bit hilly and there are several mountain bike trails. The pool is very nice and very clean. There is a pool section and a splash section. There are chairs and lounges around both and shade awnings. The cost is $3 for and adult and $2 for child. Near by is Blue Mounds Caves. We did not go, but there is much on the internet about the caves and they are recommended for even young children. Internet signal at the campgrounds was good. We have Verizon and could stream movies. We also have AT &T and could access the net but could not stream. This is one of the nicer WI campgrounds I have visited.
