Sitting across from Buffalo Lake in Montello, Wisconsin, this established resort-style campground runs from April 15 through October 15 and caters primarily to RV travelers, with full hookup sites accommodating rigs up to 80 feet. Sites are gravel-padded and set close together, though a canopy of large pine trees provides meaningful shade. The campground is not secluded by design; it operates more like a community hub than a backcountry retreat, with seasonal residents who tend to know the weekend visitors by name.
Water access is a consistent draw. A public boat launch gives campers direct entry to Buffalo Lake, and the access is noted as easy for those arriving by boat. The on-site swimming pool rounds out the water options, with multiple reviewers describing it as clean and consistently warm. Two sets of restrooms, two playgrounds, and rentable bikes for kids fill out the activity picture, and the campground's grill serves a menu that includes fried chicken and fish, with delivery to your site.
"Sites are close together but do have big pine trees for shade," notes Kim L., who also confirms full hookups, water, electric, and a dump station for RVs. The staff draws repeated mention across reviews as a standout feature. The surrounding area around Kilby Lake Campground and Crooked River Campground gives campers additional options in the region. Reservations are available, and booking ahead makes sense for summer weekends when seasonal campers occupy a significant share of the sites.
