Wooded group sites and a lake within walking distance set the tone at Devils Lake State Park Group Campground, where multiple families or outdoor clubs can spread out across heavily treed sites in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The dense canopy means sites are largely dirt and leaf-covered rather than grassy, but it also provides solid shade and enough tree spacing for hammocks. Weekends draw crowds, so midweek visits tend to give groups more room to breathe.
The group sites are spaced well apart from each other, and full bathroom facilities with showers sit within walking distance, along with a water pump nearby. A camp store on the south shore rents kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and paddle boats, though reviewers note the store keeps inconsistent hours and the north shore alternative is a 20-minute drive away. The East Bluff trail provides a challenging hike with rock climbing opportunities, and the park's trail network is extensive enough to fill multiple days. Raccoons are active at night, so secure your food.
"Trees for a hammock," notes Kay K., and that detail captures what the group sites do well: shade, spacing, and natural cover. Sites include fire rings and picnic tables. Rates run $90 to $130 per night with electric, water, and sewer hookups available, along with WiFi and a dump station. Campers also considering the broader park have options at Ice Age Campground — Devils Lake State Park or Quartzite Campground — Devils Lake State Park nearby. Groups that book early and plan around the south shore store hours will get the most out of a stay here.
