$67 after tax for primitive. Overpriced. Nice place though. Easy to get in. Great for kids, but those us passing through…don’t.

It’s a great place to stay they have lots of activities for the kids, it helps that they are year around and their prices aren’t bad.

Beautiful, clean, fun
I was a little skeptical after a negative review about the regular residents, so I watched for that dynamic. We were camping with another family so we had 8 kids between the two of us and I was worried all those kiddos would upset people. Quite the opposite experience from that review and it motivated me to leave this one to help provide a good picture. I have nothing bad to say about our camping experience. We did go a little out of season (September 12) so a lot of the campsites were empty. Most their sites are flat, and clean. The grass was well mowed and maintained. They had activities for the kids (Halloween). People that drove by were friendly and smiling, and waiving. We had people drop off candy for the kids asking parents first. We had people offer basketballs for our kids to use while they were away from their site. Me and my friend were about to haul ice bags and wood up a huge hill on foot and someone stopped their golf cart and emptied it of what they were carrying to give us a ride to our campsite. The kids tootled about on their bikes being kids with no negative experiences. There were a couple of kids on motor scooters whose engines were kind of obnoxious but that’s going to happen more and more at campgrounds, and it wasn’t during quiet hours. We had sites atop the “full Lakeview” and it was honestly surprising how beautiful it was up there. I think it can be difficult to get a view when you’re camping but those sites had it. We knew the full lake view sites were open so we took the cheaper ones across from them, but still saw the same view. There was a great amount of space between the sites we used. The only possible critique I might offer is in that specific row there weren’t many trees for shade, but the weather was cooler so it didn’t affect us, but if we went in the summer it might have been more uncomfortable without that natural shade. The bath houses and showers were great!!! I feel like a good bath house can make or break a campsite and we’ve been to some smaller ones that were quite lacking but this one was great. Very clean, not many bugs, spacious, real doors on the shower stalls. We did not arrive in season to utilize the pool area but it looked great from the other side of the gate ;) - the parks were well maintained and the kids loved them. there was a set of stairs that went from up the hill down to the office that looked a little sketchy but they were closed off for use. If you didn’t have a golf cart or couldn’t ride a bike, the trek from where we stayed to the office might be a challenge. Overall we loved it and would definitely consider going again. The sites were a little pricey but had on site sewer hookup which is fantastic.

GuideThe Rock Camping Resort
Nice and quiet campground
When we visited mid-week in August for one night, we had the whole campground area to ourselves. The place is basically split in 2 sections - more permanent RVs and some cabins on one side of a dirt road and the campground on the other. The permanent side is pretty filled. There is a bar where you check in, a boat launch and I believe they have water sports equipment to rent but we didn’t use any of that.
On the campground side, there is one portapotty which seemed brand new - and the showers/bathroom facility is near the cabins, a pretty far walk from our site. Some of the first sites aren’t very level, we ended up switching sites to a more level site - sites before 106 don’t seem very level. There are a few paved pads for larger rigs and a lot of sites have electric and water. Clean campground, though I felt a bit expensive for the sites ($50/night).

Cliffwood Campground — Mirror Lake State Park
Beware of extra fees
The RV campsite for out of state guests was listed for $58. However when entering the park we were charged an additional $16.
Potable water is at the front of the campground. Ice is not sold on site.
Dan M.ScoutHoliday Shores Campground
Money-grab if ever I saw one
Any property that charges $3.00 per pet PER NIGHT should be put out of business. I can understand (maybe) a one-time charge or fines if you're caught not cleaning up after your pet. But a nightly pet fee for each pet?? Never!!

Family, Pet, Motorcycle Friendly!
This is a fantastic Campground, especially for RVs and families. Large playground and outdoor games, small indoor rec area. During busy weekends with lots of kids and holidays, they have foam parties for the kids where they fill the basketball court with foam 3 ft High. Most sites are permanent sites, but have probably around 20 other 30 amp sites that can accommodate large RVs. There are only a few tent sites, but if tent is your only option and you still want to stay they will rent you an RV site for the tent. New owners are very friendly, and have adopted the same overwhelmingly hospitable nature as the previous owners. Fantastic people and very helpful. It will accommodate special needs or requests as long as it doesn't bother anybody or go against any insurance policies. I've had a permanent site here in the past, and recently started camping again and came to visit old friends. The new owners were still happy to accommodate semi truck parking for my job. I haul milk locally so I work more than I'm off, but the family can still camp and I can come when I'm done work. It is near the Wisconsin River, so it's fairly sand base although the Grass Grows plenty so you're not tracking sand everywhere. The benefits of this is when it rains heavily the sand absorbs the water rapidly. The only negative is the mosquitoes. Be prepared for mosquitoes with lots of bug spray. This is no fault of the campground, all low wetlands in Wisconsin are the same. The bathrooms are some of the best in any Campground I've seen. They are always clean, modernized, and Air condition. There are showers and bathroom stalls near the park. They try to keep families close to the park if possible for the bathrooms and the park access itself. They are really extremely accommodating for requests if it's in their power at all. The owners live at the campground and are always accessible by a simple phone call if after hours. There's a community vibe, with a community fire pit up front and often people are just hanging out outside of the main office. It embodies our Wisconsin way of life and you will find strangers waving at you every time you pass by. It's just our nature, don't be weirded out by the friendliness. The regular permanent campers are all so friendly and always willing to help a newbie or even someone struggling to figure out a problem or even carry things.

Fireside Campground
Cute campground with great hosts.
Found this campground by chance after the campground I had planned to stay at was a complete disaster. Luckily, they were able to get me a campsite for two nights where I could regroup do a little laundry and chill out also took a bike ride on the bike path.
Guide to Camp Douglas
Cabin accommodations near Camp Douglas are situated in Wisconsin's Central Sand Plains, characterized by glacial deposits and sandy soils that create a unique landscape with varied terrain. The region experiences warm summers with temperatures averaging 80°F during peak camping months and cold winters that limit some cabin availability. Water features include the nearby Castle Rock Lake which forms the fourth largest inland body of water in Wisconsin.
What to do
Kayaking on Castle Rock Lake: Buckhorn State Park Campground offers direct water access from many cabin and tent sites. "We had a little slice of beach and it was very beautiful during sunset. Bugs were really bad at this time of year. A family of raccoons passed our tent during the night and sounded like they were playing in the water which was cute," shares one visitor at Buckhorn State Park Campground.
Mini golf and recreation: Arrowhead RV Campground maintains on-site activities for cabin guests. According to a camper, "There were outdoor movies, put-put, corn hole, two pools, huge trampoline, volleyball nets, disc golf, and a Christmas in July festival all happening when we were there." The recreation area is typically open from 9 AM to 9 PM during summer months.
Hiking trails: Mirror Lake State Park features several well-maintained trails through wooded areas and around sandstone formations. "The lake is great for kayaking. Lots of sandstone cliffs. We only did 2 hiking trails but they were well maintained," notes one Sandstone Ridge Campground visitor. Most trails range from 1-3 miles in length with minimal elevation gain.
What campers like
Private beach access: Several cabin sites at Buckhorn State Park feature personal water frontage. "We got one of the spots that you needed to hike out to but it wasn't far at all. There were 2 other campsites beside us but they weren't reserved so we were all by ourselves. We had a little slice of beach," explains a visitor who enjoyed the secluded setting.
Clean facilities: Pine View Campground at Fort McCoy maintains high standards for their shower houses and cabins. A guest reports, "First time out with the new RV. We called to made the reservation by phone and was taken care of very nicely. We were told to go straight to our site and setup and they will check on us later. The beach was clean nicely set up, the office was very helpful."
Family-oriented activities: Tunnel Trail Campground caters to families with various recreation options. "The pool opened the day we got there and my kids enjoyed it although it was definitely too cold for me. Frogs pulled us to sleep the first night but disappeared the second. Our site was pretty level and located near a creek which runs though the middle of the campground. My kids enjoyed playing in that," shares a Tunnel Trail Campground visitor.
What you should know
Highway noise considerations: Some cabin locations experience traffic sounds. At Oakdale KOA, a visitor notes, "The campground is super easy to get to as it is adjacent to I-90 which means you'll also deal with highway noise. The noise becomes just background after a while and the full hookups mean running the RV air conditioner at night somewhat blocks the traffic sounds."
Insect preparation essential: Bug activity can be intense during summer months. One Buckhorn camper shares, "The mosquitos were the worst I have ever experienced. The second we got out of the car they were all over us. We used the heaviest deet possible nonstop." Pack appropriate repellent and consider screened eating areas.
Military installation proximity: Oakdale KOA and Pine View Campground are near Fort McCoy military base. A camper notes, "The sites were paved and level. Nicely wooded and made it easy to setup a hammock as well. The site had full hook ups. We did have an alarm every morning with the sound of bugle three or fore time throughout the day and evening."
Tips for camping with families
Geocaching opportunities: Buckhorn State Park offers complimentary GPS units for geocaching adventures. "My husband and I picked this park because of its friendliness towards kids. We took our 2 9-year-old nieces on their first tent camping adventure. When we arrived and checked in we grabbed one of their pre-loaded GPS units for Geocaching; It's something the park offers for free. They give you a bag, GPS and information book on all the Geocaching sites."
Kid-friendly watercraft: Many properties provide rental equipment sized for younger campers. "The beach area has showers and a great area to have a picnic. The evening presented itself with an amazing sunset from our beach and lots of crickets chirping. In the morning we took the girls fishing off the dock and then over to the kids pond; the park also offers free poles and tackle," reports a Buckhorn visitor.
Shallow swimming areas: Chapparal Campground features safe water play zones. "We stayed here over Memorial weekend, we had a nice site with grass and trees. They had a parade of first responders, firefighters, EMTs and etc come through the campground on Saturday, golf cart parade Sunday, fun things for the children and they have an amazing pond. We didn't use it but they have a LOT of inflatables all surrounded by a sandy beach!"
Tips from RVers
Electrical connection planning: Some cabin and RV sites have unusual utility placements. A visitor to Arrowhead notes, "Friendly and helpful front desk. Pool is very nice. Perfect water temperature in June. Clean facilities. Camping spots are a little rough terrain, but TT is level without levelers, but bring them just in case. Make sure you bring 50 ft of electrical cord and water hose. They do offer to barrow their extension cords."
Accessibility options: Pine View Campground offers accommodations for guests with mobility needs. "The shower area was well maintained and is also accessible for anyone with disabilities," shares one visitor, noting that several cabin units feature ramped entries and modified interior layouts.
Off-season advantages: Wisconsin Dells campgrounds become significantly less crowded between Labor Day and Memorial Day. A camper shares, "Large campground. Very friendly staff and escort, at site daily trash pickup which is nice. Lots of kids, large playground and pool. Busy on weekends quiet and peaceful during the week."
