Reservations are strongly recommended at Crazy Horse Campground, particularly for summer weekends and holidays, when the property fills well in advance. The campground sits along the Sugar River outside Brodhead, Wisconsin, operating from May 1 through October 31 with full hookup sites that include electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station, WiFi, and shower facilities. Prices have climbed in recent seasons, and at least one reviewer flagged the cost as among the highest they'd encountered at any campground, so budgeting ahead matters here.
Sites along the river are a clear draw. Campers who land a riverfront spot describe pulling in and facing the water directly rather than looking across at neighboring rigs. "Big sites along the river," notes Melissa B., though she also flags that noise levels vary considerably depending on where you're positioned. Sites in the interior of the campground tend to get louder, especially on busy weekends, while those at the edges offer more separation.
Activities have historically centered on the Sugar River. Kayak rentals and a shuttle service allowed campers to float roughly 90 minutes back to the campground, with the option to continue an additional eight miles downstream if a second vehicle was staged at the takeout point. As of a 2024 review, kayak rentals were no longer being offered, so it's worth confirming current activity availability before booking. The campground has also featured a pool, jumping pillow, mini golf, batting cages, and a petting zoo, with many of these included in a daily activity bracelet fee. Sweet Minnihaha Campground to the north provides another option for paddlers who prioritize river access.
"Clean shower house with good water pressure," reports Lisa B., and cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews as a reliable positive. Weekday visits tend to run considerably quieter than weekends. After rain, some sites can get muddy, and a few reviewers noted that sites near high-traffic amenities like the jumping pillow see foot traffic cutting through. Requesting a site at the outer edge of the campground, especially along the river, tends to address both concerns.
