Central Wisconsin's Coloma area features a mix of state parks and private campgrounds within a 30-mile radius, offering diverse camping experiences from rustic tent sites to full-service RV resorts. Coloma Camperland provides tent and RV camping with full hookups, while nearby Tomorrow Wood Campground in Hancock offers a more wooded setting. State parks like Roche A Cri and Buckhorn provide natural settings with hiking trails and water access. Buckhorn State Park Campground, situated on Castle Rock Lake, offers year-round camping with boat-in, drive-in, and hike-in options. The region balances proximity to Wisconsin Dells attractions with quieter natural settings among pine forests and lakes.
Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from April through October, with a few year-round options like Buckhorn and Petenwell Park. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends when Wisconsin Dells tourism creates high demand throughout the region. As one camper noted about Roche A Cri State Park: "Sites surrounded by old growth pines and adjacent to the park's namesake, Roche A Cri mound. Camp sites are spacious and if you arrive during the right time of year, you can find wild black raspberries." Highway noise affects some campgrounds, particularly those near Interstate 90/94, though many sites offer sufficient tree buffers. Summer brings typical Wisconsin mosquitoes, and ticks are present in wooded areas through fall.
Water recreation forms the centerpiece of camping experiences in the region, with multiple lakes and the Wisconsin River providing opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Campers frequently mention the quality of waterfront access at parks like Mirror Lake and Buckhorn. "The lake is beautiful. You can use your own boat or rent for very reasonable prices. There is a beach to swim and trails all over," notes one visitor to Mirror Lake State Park. Family-friendly amenities are common at private campgrounds, with pools, playgrounds, and organized activities. State parks tend to offer more spacious sites with better privacy, though they fill quickly during peak season. Wildlife viewing opportunities include sandhill cranes, blue herons, and various woodland species.

ScoutThe camp hosts are kind and friendly. The whole vibe of this llace is peace and quiet. The sites are huge with enough space and trees to be private. Deer came into our site both days. We liked it so nice, we stayed twice. Treat yourself.
ScoutRelaxation at its finest. Nice small size campground. Clean spots, play equipment, showers. Beach, fishing, grills, bathroom a short walk away.
TravelerStayed hear on a very hot 90+degree day during a road trip, easy to reach from I90/94. Midweek, we were the only overnight guests. -Occasional loud noise from the road and train tracks. -At first was wary of paying for no showers and pit toilets for the price, but pit toilets were actually clean with no odor. -Spring fed swimming pond was good for a dip once you found a cool spot, but there are spots that felt like a hot tub. Beach is very nice sand, and there’s a playground for the kids. -Definitely check out the short hike up to Mill Bluff if you can tolerate steep rocky stairs, the view is beautiful. -Tried to check out the other trail near Camel Bluff but it was too overgrown to continue. -Electrical box is in the middle of the campsite near the picnic table, so power cables will need to be at least 30 feet long to comfortably reach your rig. -National Parks Pass is accepted for vehicle admission (separate from camping fee in WI) as this is part of the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve! -Sites 20/21 are great for proximity to swimming pond and toilets
ScoutWe have been annuals here for now our 12th year and it’s been a horrible experience ever since Thousand Trails bought it 4 years ago! Today is July 5, 2026 and the pool is closed again, it’s only been opened for 6 days this year! The hours are 11 to 5 pm and closed from 1:00 to 1:30, 2:30 to 3:00 when it is open! This is only the beginning of the horrible campground! If we didn’t have a Park-Model with a large patio and pavers that are grouted we would leave now and never come back!
GuideNorth Wood County Park is a hidden gem. Many of the sites have a view of water and several even have water access right from your site. There are several loops that range from paved with electric to rustic and non-electric. We stayed at site 59 which stretched down to a paved trail and then one of the lakes. We were close to the suspension bridge, which is a fun attraction. There is also a low roadway that goes over the water that is absolutely beautiful and sometimes floods. There are several dams and it makes for a great kayak or fishing spot. Most of the campground is paved, which is awesome if you have an ebike or e scooter. They sell wood at a decent price ($7), but nothing else. You also have to book your site online with a $10 fee for using the online booking. It does make arrival super easy, you just pull in and set up camp. Overall I would highly recommend spending a few nights here.
GuideVery quiet layed back place, lots to explore and see.
GuideFirst, the staff was very accommodating, and we appreciated it. We made a last minute booking over the phone and requested a late check-in, and they were wonderful about making it happen for us.
Once we arrived, everything seemed to go wrong. It appears there’s been a recent change in ownership. The campground was marked with a different name and we weren’t sure we were in the right place. Then, the sites and the hookup numbers don’t match, so again we weren’t sure we were in the right place. Once we found our spot, the site next to us had spread into our space, so we had to wait to pull in until they moved their stuff out of the way. Even so, the lots were very tight. The women’s bathroom was unkept - hair and bugs in the sink, and no toilet paper. A half-drunk bottle of Fireball was in the men’s room.
We also woke to a cracked windshield. Not necessarily the campground’s fault, but just added to the experience.
It worked for a one night stop-over, but wouldn’t have chosen it for a lengthy stay.
GuideWe wanted to visit family in the area at the last minute, and pulled up to see if they had any spot available. They gave us a list of available options, we drove through, and picked a site with the perfect spot to watch the sun set. Amenities are clean, theres a pool table and games in the office area.
GuideThis is a wonderful campground with many amenities for the whole family. The sites are a good size, plenty of shade. Indoor and outdoor pool, Kiddie pool, mini golf, playgrounds, pond with inflatables, pond to fish(catch and release) paddle boats, row boats, kayaking. gaga pit, shuffleboard. Wonderful store stocked with everything you need and then some. They have a grill if you want to order food. Game room and arcade. Clean bathrooms and showers. Storm shelter under the bathrooms and showers. I can't say enough what a wonderful campground this is!!
