ScoutWe camped at the Ice Age trail sites. We did an evening hike up the bluffs to watch the fireworks from Baraboo. Cool nights warm day.
LegendWe stayed at this campground a while, a good 2 weeks in fact. My family rents a permanent spot on site and we were there visiting. The staff is super good with security. We were an out of state vehicle and they were there as soon as they saw us in the site without our family that rents the space. It's kept very clean, there is a fishing pond that allows fishing without a license. Catch and release only. There are bass and pan fish as well as snapping turtles. It is well shaded in many places and some of the tent sites are amazing. They had a nice playground for the kids to play at. There was a large grassy field where the kids played ball. Bathrooms are very clean. Hot showers are free, although they only have an on and off, no temperature control. They have a small store and firewood on site. They also have a game room, although we did not explore it. On site dumpsters and recycling. They spray for weeds several times a week and mow regularly. It's just a couple miles from Devil's Lake State Park and a few more miles from Baraboo, where you can find shopping and conveniences.
LegendWe stayed at Quartzite Campground and walked to the Visitor/Center and lake. It is about a quarter mile walk up a steep hill to the Nature Center and then 300 feet on a trail from the Nature Center to the Visitor Center parking lot directly across from the north beach. We stayed in site 10E but I would not recommend this site or any of the other electric sites and that side of the road. The sites are very unlevel and even with all the leveling blocks we had we could not get our motorhome level. Our neighbor a tent camper had a hard time finding a flat spot to put their tent and travel trailers were not level either. The other side of the road was better but not completely level either.
The lake water is very clear. There is a lot to do at the park and you could spend at least 4 or 5 days here. It is the most popular WI State park and early reservations are required to stay in an electric site. The showers and bathrooms are very clean. The pictures are from the Tumbled Rock trail which connects the north and south beach. It is mostly flat and paved. You can get a really close look at the rocks with out climbing high. Cell service is OK. We have both AT&T and Verizon and neither could stream video but we could connect to the internet. We were surprised since the campground is 3 miles from Baraboo. The town is very cute with 1850's buildings and a strong circus history as home to the Ringling Brothers.
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.
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.
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!
