Best Campgrounds near Beaver Dam, WI

We stayed at site 19, fyi, did not have electricity, and was super small. I would not recommend. On to the good stuff, the grounds are super clean and not worn down. It is small so therefore, quiet and not inundated with kids. I seen bunnies and chipmunks. There are a lot of mature trees on site, which provided abundant shade in the mid 80's. The campground hosts were kind, responsive and helpful. Sheriffs patrol the grounds and came thru twice a day. Most sites are flat. I only seen one site that was sloped. To the best of my knowledge it was within the sites 1-10 and for sure an even number. The showers provided plenty of hot water. One final note, the group site looked amazing, I'd love to rent that with friends. Happy camping!

Overall awful campground. On top of our over priced ($123) two night stay, we had to pay an additional $30 for an emissions fee. When we got to our site it was in the middle of a field with campers close by with no privacy. Our sight was very unlevel as well as extremely muddy. The amenities were very dirty (lots of bugs plastered across the shower walls, muddy shower floors, hair everywhere). When we showed up there was a fallen tree taking up half of the road and for our entire stay it was never removed. The lady we dealt with at the front office was not friendly. She was rude to me and my wife. We will never stay here again and never recommend it to anybody! Not worth your money, try to find a different campground!

The First thing you see when you pull in is a rundown trailer and buildings, over grown grass, dog kennels filled with chickens, it looks abandoned. As you keep driving it opens up into a cute little camp ground with a pretty little pond.

BUT…. There’s hardly ever anyone in the store. You sometimes even have to call to get someone to come down. There’s no staff after 9pm so well if something happens no one’s answering the phone you crap outta luck.

We check in they were nice but everything in the store looks like it’s from the dollar store and they $5 for it. We’re Andes a map that’s INACCURATE it’s got not only old tore down buildings that haven’t been there in years but also future planned buildings 🤦🏼‍♀️ We head to our camp site turns out there’s no actual bath just porta potty’s which I’m fine with if they we’re filthy and completely full. Also the showers there’s 4 down by the office for the entire camp ground to share. They are filled with bugs they stink oh and the whole time we stayed no one cleaned them one time.

To added to that there’s a seasonal group of campers that keep you up tell 4:30am and when you say something to staff they respind with well I live here and slept fine btw there’s no refunds. Ummm I didn’t ask for one I asked for you to speak to them because my sons autistic and has a harder with lack of sleep. Oh also we got asked to leave and take our tent down immediately because it flooded during a horrible storm that literally took trees down and neighbor took us in but we were not following the rules. And staying in someone else’s site is not allowed because that’s $10 a person extra which they charged us for too.

This is a nice campground.  A little better than the average Wisconsin state campground.

Pros:

- Clean

- Flush toilets (did not use showers)

- Very nice, sandy and swimmable beach (not true for some campgrounds that I've visited!)

Perk:

- If you call and place and order, a local baker will deliver fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls to your campsite.  You can pay via mobile payment services.  Just look for the signs on the road as you drive in.  The only problem is now camping without waking up to fresh cinnamon rolls will be such a let down! :)

Cons:

- The campsites in the 900s didn't have a lot privacy.  

- Walking from the 900s to the beach was a bit of a trek.
