Best Campgrounds near Coloma, WI

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.
