Edgerton camping areas sit within Wisconsin's glacial drift region at 860 feet elevation. Summers can reach 83°F with moderate humidity from June through August, while fall temperatures drop to 50-60°F by October when most camping facilities begin seasonal closures. Cell service often remains spotty in the Rock River valley areas with coverage improving at higher elevations.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Rice Lake near Hickory Hills Campground, visitors can catch various species without leaving the property. "If you're looking to get your fishing on, what's great about Hickory Hills Campground is that they provide you direct access to Rice Lake, where you'll catch no shortage of blue gills, small and large mouthed bass, bullheads and crappie," notes a regular visitor.
Golfing options: Located directly beside Creekview RV Park is a three-par golf course accessible by walking. According to one camper, "If you're a golfer, there's a par 3 golf course just adjacent to Creekview, which is a very nice distraction if you're looking for one."
Water activities: Lakeland Camping Resort offers multiple water recreation options despite some seasonal limitations. "The grounds are pretty. We had rain all of our first day, and our site didn't flood just a few puddles here and there and the ground was mushy for about another day and a half," a tent camper shared about site conditions.
What campers like
Open field sites: Some Blackhawk Camping Resort visitors appreciate the spacious recreational areas. One camper mentioned, "Sites were of decent size and fairly quiet. We did have an evening where we heard what I believe was a race track in the distance but was not able to confirm."
Kid-friendly amenities: River Bend RV Resort receives praise for its range of activities. "This place is a young kids heaven. Tons of activities! All included with admission... four wheel bikes to take out, jumping balloon, pool with multiple water slides, pond with blow up floating slides and climbing activities, canoes, a bar and restaurant, mini golf, frisbee golf," reports one visitor.
Clean facilities: While basic, Creekview RV Park maintains functional facilities. A camper noted, "The amenities are basic and incredibly old school (just look at the him and hers outhouses), but everything is well organized, clean and functioning."
What you should know
Limited privacy: Many rv parks near Edgerton, Wisconsin have closely spaced sites. At Milton-Madison SE KOA, "The sites were of decent size, some smaller than others and some very generous sites. I would recommend viewing their map and comparing to google maps. They do allow you to pick your site if your willing to pay $10 extra."
Seasonal limitations: Most camping facilities close by mid-October. A visitor to Sugar Shores RV Resort reported, "It is a beautiful place with enough space for tents. The only thing missing is the store. They sell fire wood at the gate."
Noise considerations: Highway noise affects some camping areas. At Creekview RV Park, one reviewer stated, "Right off i90, and next to fuel and food stops. Family run campground with 40 sites that have water and electric. They are cash or check only, with no online booking. Sites are snug. Decent cell service. Other than highway noise peaceful spot."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Naga-Waukee Park offers swimming in Lake Nagawicka. "The beach on the shores of Lake Nagawicka is well-groomed, clean, has a seasonal lifeguard and a playground within earshot," reports one visitor, making it suitable for families with children.
Activity planning: Edgerton area campgrounds often schedule weekend events. At Hickory Hills Campground, "Every weekend there are activities planned from wine tasting to Halloween trick or treating. The sites are large and you can choose from shady or sunny sites."
Playground access: Multiple camping options include play areas for children. A Milton-Madison SE KOA visitor mentioned, "Great place to bring our three boys. There are 2 playgrounds, a nice pool, games and activities for the kids over weekends, and the rv sites are well spaced."
Tips from RVers
Hookup variations: RV facilities near Edgerton vary in utility connections. At River Bend RV Resort, a camper noted, "For the list of pluses at this campground, the nits seem trivial. But those few details would put this location from 4 to 5 stars in a heartbeat if addressed."
Site selection strategy: Choosing the right spot matters at Edgerton rv parks. "We reserved a water/electric site and utilized the dump station on our way out. Lines were not too bad for the dump station which was good," reported one RVer about Blackhawk Camping Resort.
Accessibility considerations: Terrain and site configurations affect larger vehicles. A visitor at Fairgrounds RV Park mentioned, "20/30/50 amp service. Most sites have water hook-up. Restrooms. Dump station. Campfires in above ground fire pits supplied by you. Pet friendly."
