Southern Wisconsin's camping landscape around Edgerton features a mix of private campgrounds and nearby state parks within a 30-minute drive radius. Hickory Hills Campground, located within Edgerton city limits, offers a wooded setting with access to a 172-acre spring-fed lake for fishing and swimming. Creekview RV Park, also in Edgerton, provides primarily RV-focused accommodations with full hookup sites. Within short driving distance, campers can access Lake Kegonsa State Park in Stoughton and several private campgrounds in Milton including Milton-Madison SE KOA and Lakeland Camping Resort, which offer a range of accommodations from tent sites to cabins and glamping options.
Most campgrounds in the Edgerton area operate seasonally from mid-April through mid-October, with few year-round options available. Summer humidity and occasional thunderstorms characterize the peak camping season, while spring and fall bring more moderate temperatures with less crowding. Road access to most established campgrounds is well-maintained, suitable for RVs and trailers without high-clearance requirements. As one camper noted about Hickory Hills, "The thickly wooded forest that encircles this campground creates a sense of peace and serenity that are unmatched. Plus, you are so far away from the major highway you likely just got off of." Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, though some more remote sites may have limited coverage.
Fishing opportunities rank high among visitor experiences in the Edgerton area, with Rice Lake at Hickory Hills offering "bluegills, small and large mouthed bass, bullheads and crappie," according to camper reviews. Many campgrounds in the region provide lake access, though water quality varies seasonally. Road noise can be an issue at some locations closer to highways, with several reviewers mentioning this as a consideration when selecting sites. Family-friendly amenities are common at the private campgrounds, including swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities. The camping season typically winds down by mid-October as temperatures drop, though some facilities like Lake Kegonsa State Park maintain limited winter accessibility for hardy campers.
"No enclosed dog park but plenty of area to walk your dog!"
"Driving around, I really don't think there's a bad spot here. The staff is fantastic, friendly, and accommodating- as are the seasonal campers.
We'll be back again...and again... and again!"
"Just a quick 2 hour drive from our home in Chicago, with large wooded sites for privacy. Clean bathrooms."

"Set along Lake Koshkonong this place was bursting with energy and feels more like a summer resort than a traditional campground with over 270 full-hookup sites and cozy cabins for families who don’t have"
"We booked in VIP 1, which is right next to the bath house. We wanted to be close to the showers (coin op). We figured since we’re at a sporting event that might be nice. Very quiet at night."

"I didn't stay here but I did walk through the place to get to know it. This is an RV campground, I did not see any places for tent camping. "
ScoutNothing special but a nice spot if you need somewhere to park your camper and stay. Electric and water hookups, decent showers and bathrooms. Septic on site. We stayed here for an event at the fairgrounds but there were also several others staying here while they were in town for work.
GuideOur friends have a permanent camper here so we joined them for the weekend. I’ve never experienced a place like this. It’s not what I would consider camping. It’s basically people’s second trailer park home. The frog pond that was turned into a swimming hole with ridiculous inflatables completely ruined the peaceful atmosphere in that area of the park. If you enjoy being surrounded by people, noise, and teens cruising in golf carts, you’ll love this place. We do have fun when we are with our friends here, but it is definitely not a typical peaceful camp.
TravelerThis park has always been a go to for me. As a full time RVer, I come here a lot. The scenery is beautiful, beach right next door, fishing holes not far from here. The people who come are all very friendly and the park rangers are very welcoming and always have firewood for the visitors. Highly recommend this spot for everyone.
TravelerFirst time RV’ing with my wife and we were able to navigate pretty easily in our rented 30’. Arrived on a Monday, and as posted, there was no one so we checked in online(they sent an email to check in). Simple camp site with tons of space(almost double our RV), a long wood picnic table and a fire pit. Everything was great until we left. Dumping was straight forward, but the person in front of me was taking a little while to dump. They had came up to my RV and let me know the dump tank was backing up, which I had also experienced when I tried dumping. I called to ask for assistance on Thursday and they said they would send a ranger out. 45 minutes of waiting and a couple other RV’s after us and we ended up giving up and going to another site closer to home to dump. Great experience otherwise.
LegendIf your family's perfect camping trip includes saddling up and exploring miles of wooded trails together, the Equestrian Campground at Rock Cut State Park offers a wonderfully peaceful place to spend a few days. Tucked away from the park's busier camping loops, this rustic first-come, first-served campground provides spacious sites designed for campers traveling with horses, along with nearby potable water, restrooms and direct access to more than 14 miles of designated equestrian trails. While amenities are intentionally simple (erring on non-existent), the extra room to accommodate horse trailers and the quiet natural surroundings create exactly the kind of setting many riders are looking for. One of my favorite moments was watching families quietly prepare their horses in the early morning light before disappearing beneath the trees for a day on the trails, returning later with tired horses, dusty boots and smiles that needed no explanation. Arriving early is the best way to secure a site since camping is first-come, first-served and availability is limited. This campground is ideal for equestrian families given its spacious layout, direct trail access and peaceful atmosphere that allows both riders and horses to truly unwind.
GuideBest kept secret in the area. Very low rates (5 dollars a night Sunday through Thursday .
GuideWe stayed here one night and had a great experience! The restroom/bathhouse is super clean, conveniently located, and NEW. A refreshing thing after roughing it. We took a trail down to the trussle bridge that goes across the river. Nice nature view. Fishing was good too, near the bridge at the entrance to the park. My son was there maybe 5 min and hooked a decent sized pike. We brought our two dogs and they enjoyed the quiet of the park and the trails. Only complaint I had was that someone previously had left dog poop at our site, but sometimes people don't clean up after their pets. Our site had electric, only 30 amp hookup but we had a 50 amp adapter and it worked well. We would definitely stay again.
LegendWelcome to Blue Mound State Park! This is another Wisconsin gym sitting in Southern West Wisconsin. It isn't too far from the city of Madison, but the closest town of Barneveld and Town of Mount Horeb are closer and offer a place to pick up any necessities you may need.
The park offers excellent hiking trails and 112 campsites with approximately 31 of those being electric. The park offers modern flush toilets and shower buildings.
The park also offers a rustic accessible cabin for people with disabilities. Also with an accessible flush toilet and shower building about 200 ft from this campsite. You can have a maximum of six people to occupy this rustic cabin.
One of the greatest things is this park offers a pool and splash pad for kids and this is a relatively good size swimming area! And also near a couple to her destinations, the most famous being Cave of the Mounds! I recommend checking this out if you have the chance!
TravelerThis is my second time camping here (June / July). This campground is the best of both worlds. By that, I mean there’s is peace and solitude, while also family fun activities for kids and adults. You can rent kayaks and canoes, for the lake. Fishing pier, nice size beach with the inflatable obstacle course. On the weekend they have activity’s on the beach such as sand castle building competitions, obstacle races and then they have beach bubbles. It’s is fun to watch all the little kids running around like little marshmallows.
The golf carts are all newer with long lasting batteries. The campsites have lots of tree shade. On our arrival, our site appears to be cleaned. Even our fire ring was cleaned out. Golf cart was there waiting for us fully charged. They bring firewood out to you when you buy it from the store. The store has a nice array of items such as food, ice cream, clothing, little toys an such. The mini golf course is new and some obstacles are made from an artist with recycled tires that are painted.
There is lots or grass at our campsite (mud too if you’re here when it rains). The roads are a VERY hard packed gravel that electrical scooters can ride on. So yes, electric scooters appear to be permitted here. Be careful tho as there are quite a few pot holes and dips.
There is a heated pool that goes to 9ft. A balloon launching area, jumping pillow and I’m sure others that I’m missing. By the store, they have picnic tables in shade with activities on each one with little blocks. Karaoke on the weekends. And if you like to socialize, you might run into the “booze cruise”. This is a group of seasonal people that ride their golf carts around playing music trying to get more people to join the ride. They’re entertaining to watch as they stop and start dancing like they’re 12yrs lol.
Great place to camp. Quiet when you want it, fun when you need it, great free WiFi, activities, shade, well maintained campground with staff that will literally help anyway they can if it’s within their power. Hope all this helps someone make their next camping trip as well as ours have been!

Fishing at local lakes: Blackhawk Camping Resort provides direct access to Clear Lake system.

Trail exploration: Lake Farm County Park offers extensive trail access. "There are trails right through the campground that are on Madison's trail system.

Seasonal challenges: Spring flooding affects some campgrounds. At Lakeland Camping Resort, campers reported that "half of camping sites closed due to flooding" during some seasons.

Another noted, "A charge of $5 per person for any visitors you have adds to this feeling (plus an additional $5/car the visitors arrive in)."

Utility considerations: Electric service varies between locations. Creekview RV Park offers "water and electric hookups for RVs" with "a central sewer dump." One camper noted they had "plenty of open sites with electrical hook ups. Some 30 amp, but more 50 amp, which is just what we needed to charge our Tesla Model Y while we slept inside."
Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have low clearance hazards. One Lake Kegonsa State Park visitor warned of "an oak tree near entry with low branches" that "took the AC off our friend's fifth wheel."
