Lantern DeForest's pull-through sites accommodate tents, RVs, and cabins where pets are welcome throughout the property. The campground maintains a fenced dog park where pets can play off-leash, while several grassy areas provide additional walking space. Token Creek County Park offers electric and non-electric sites with pet-friendly policies in a quieter setting, with trails and a boardwalk where leashed dogs can explore. Smokey Hollow Campground features pet-friendly accommodations including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, glamping options, and yurts. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to remain on leash at all times outside designated off-leash areas, with typical leash length restrictions of 6 feet. One guest noted the clean, spacious grounds at Token Creek provide abundant shade from mature trees, making it comfortable for pets during hot summer days.
Hiking options with dogs include numerous trails at Devils Lake State Park campgrounds, all of which permit leashed pets on most paths. Mosquitoes can be prevalent at Token Creek's marsh boardwalk, requiring pet owners to consider insect protection during summer months. Madison KOA (now Lantern DeForest) offers a dog agility course within their off-leash area, providing additional exercise opportunities beyond standard walking. Local regulations typically limit pets to 2-3 per site, with some campgrounds charging additional pet fees. Duck Creek Campground and Pride of America Camping Resort both provide water access where dogs can cool off during summer camping trips. Several campgrounds enforce quiet hours beginning at 10pm when excessive barking must be controlled. Sites near camping loops rather than playgrounds or recreation areas typically offer more peaceful environments for reactive dogs.

GuideFriendly staff and a nicely stocked store. Has a pool, petting zoo, kayaks, rocky beach, dog park, and a land pillow! The sites are spaced out well and there are more secluded sites so you have the feeling of privacy or big group sites for a big party.
ScoutGreat location close to many things yet far enough to feel quiet and peaceful. Great owners always have fun stuff going on for everyone and our dog loves the dog park!
TravelerA central playground and pool are the biggest draws for families with kids. There's also a prospecting 'sluice' that you can buy for the kids to look for 'fossils' and interesting rocks.
The campground is located just north of the main attractions of Wisconsin Dells.
Campsites are not overly generous in size -- typical KOA, where some are 'stacked like cordwood'. Don't go there if you want any privacy from your neighbors.
Cabins are available for those wanting to 'camp' without a camper.
Very small dog park area.
Friendly check in staff. However, we were given a map with our campsite noted and told to wait for a person driving a golf cart to escort us and help us get situated. We waited...and waited...and waited...golf carts came and went, but passed us by. We finally gave up waiting and found out site by ourselves.
TravelerJust became KOA met local campers that love this park! Good sites, trash pickup at side! They even have a snack bar and deliver to your campsite! No enclosed dog park but plenty of area to walk your dog!
GuidePond, pool, snack shop, kayak rentals, fishing pond, family bicycle course with helmets, dog park, lots of activities/themes, reasonably priced, and clean!
GuideNice, clean, well maintained campground with something for everyone. Swimming pond is huge with toys for everyone. You can bring your own pool toys. Sites are decently spacious and decently level with some gravel and some grass. Bathhouse is nice & clean. Office/store has some logo goodies as well as any necessities you may need. They had a beer tasting going on, live music at the pavilion- both on a Saturday during our stay. A couple trails around for walks with dogs & a dog park. Lively campground during the day but nice & quiet at night with quiet hours being 11pm-8am.
TravelerHo-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells RV Park is a nice option if you want an easy RV stay close to the casino and Wisconsin Dells attractions. I like that it feels convenient and low-hassle, with full hook-up sites, Wi-Fi, showers, laundry, a playground, pet area, and access to some hotel/casino amenities.
Pros: great location, full hook-ups, convenient amenities, close to entertainment.
Cons: it is more practical than scenic, and it is RV-only, so no tent camping.
Overall, it’s a good pick if you want a comfortable RV base near the Dells instead of a rustic campground.
GuideThis is a popular place in the area, the human beaches are full and the small pet beach area was well used by my husband, myself and our two dogs; Odinn & Frigga over Memorial Day. The hiking is amazing , particularly the Oakgrove trail, plenty to see with beautiful views. There is boating, canoeing, etc. Bring the strongest mosquito repellent you can get, Wisconsin in summer can be rough. We tried our Black Diamond poles and Thule day bags and we got to try cooling vests for the dogs from Ruffwear. It was so much fun. Note that there are sites to camp, cabins nearby and plenty of Hipcamp sites near. Strongly recommend Riverview Bottoms, which sits in a 500 acre property and is 10 min away.
ScoutMy first time at a campsite and new to the rv life. This campground is nice and so are the employees grass gets cut every week, the pool is clean, so is the dog park, my husband likes going to the camp bathroom for a hot shower because our rv only has 10 gallons of hot water. We did 3 months at the camp!
