    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Governor Dodge State Park houses several glamping opportunities within its expansive grounds, including unique yurt accommodations at the Nelson Dewey State Park Campground. These elevated camping experiences provide electricity, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and picnic tables while maintaining proximity to the park's natural attractions. Wisconsin Riverside Resort complements the area's glamping options with cabin-style accommodations that feature full hookups, showers, and modern amenities for those seeking comfort in nature. Both locations maintain excellent shower facilities and clean restrooms, enhancing the glamping experience beyond traditional camping. One reviewer noted, "The campsite was very nice with room for both our truck camper and canopy/tent setup. Great hiking, although the falls would've been more impressive if we'd had more recent rainfall."

    Stevens Falls and Canyon Trails highlight the natural beauty surrounding these glamping destinations, providing memorable hiking experiences through moss-covered bluffs and scenic waterfalls. Cox Hollow and Twin Valley lakes offer kayaking, canoeing, and fishing opportunities with rentals available seasonally. Several glamping sites position visitors near designated swimming beaches with convenient access to refreshing water activities during summer months. Each location maintains fire rings and picnic tables for evening relaxation under star-filled skies. According to a visitor, "The beauty and nature of the park is breathtaking. We loved Governor Dodge! There is so much to do and see with many hiking trails that all have different views." Winter visitors can explore groomed cross-country ski trails, while spring and fall offer prime wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the area's diverse ecosystems.

      Fox Hill RV Park & Campground

      New sites vs old sites

      This is our second stay here as RV campers. We stayed for 3 nights over the Memorial Day weekend, and it was packed with campers. There are 2 main sections of the campground: the new part that is all full hook-up RV sites and the older part which is a mix of W/E and S/W/E. The new section will be a lot better next year, but *just* finished construction and it is still a wide open area. It was dusty and hot because the grass isn't gown in yet, there's still a ton of sand, and no trees. So the new sites currently have little to no shade (see pictures). If you have a big rig and need pull through with full hook up, it may be worth it. We chose to get a smaller campsite with just W/E because there are trees and shade, and it just feels a little more like camping. Also have spots for hanging hammocks, and some sites are positioned well for groups.

      Despite the very crowded campground, the bathrooms were immaculate. Even the Men's room was super clean. They have 3 indoor showers in each gender bathroom, and a couple of outdoor shower stalls. The pool was also open, and warm enough to swim in. They also had some fun activities for the kids, but it was a challenge to maintain safe distancing with all of the interested people.

      I think this is a great campground for families that want some of the nicer amenities (pool, rental bikes, games, etc) that the nearby state parks are lacking. It's our preferred campground to use as base camp for hiking and exploring nearby. You're only a 10 min drive from the Dells, but you have the fee of an up north campground. The owners are super helpful and nice. Once the  new area fills in with grass and some shade trees, this place will be 5 stars in my book. Did I mention there are 2 dog play areas? Really well kept and a wonderful touch.

      Blue Mound State Park Campground

      Good RV sites, great site isolation

      The sites are very well isolated and shaded, and have a well maintained gravel and packed earth surface. Not great for staking a tent, but doable. Excellent for RVs but some sites are non-electric. There are no other hookups, but there is a dump station. Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table. Many sites have a slight slope. Trail access to both the state park trails and to the Military Ridge Trail which runs nearby.

      I stayed two nights in a tent and really struggled to find an ok spot on my site to pitch it, between the slope and the occasional roots and rocks. I managed to get stakes in but only at great effort. It looked like some other sites may have been better suited.

      There is a raccoon problem here. They were definitely snooping through my things on the first night. Heard coyotes during the night in the distance.

      Overall I'm pretty happy with my stay due to the location in the park, and most of the issues I had would be moot with an RV.

      Yogi Bear TM Camp-Resort & Waterplayground

      A blast for the kids!

      We camped on site 120, a “red carpet” site which means full hooks ups, grill, fire pit, cement slab, 2 wrist bands to do the activities and 2 welcome drinks. I used to come here as a kid and the park still looks very similar still- nostalgic for sure! But they’ve definitely made some upgrades to the pool- which has a slide a separate hot tub and a separate kids area. The roads are wide enough, but very narrow. We are a 33.6 ft rig so navigating around parked cars was a challenge as people had their vehicles right to the road. TIP: the site markers come out of the ground so if you need to, remove it so you can get in. There is TONS OF STUFF for kids to do here!!! It was Halloween theme weekend so there was trick or treating, a haunted house, dance party… lots of stuff. My fav thing as an adult is the “Hey ride!” They pile people onto a trailer turned wagon and drive around the park and yell “HEEEEEYYYYYYYYY” to every person they see!!! (Don’t forget to say “Hey!” back and wave! 🙂) it’s so fun to see the kids on that thing! They also do ceramics and have a wonderful selection of food at the Pool (as well as a wonderfully stocked bar.) They do Yogi Bear Cartoons each night which is neat! The rent golf carts by 30 minutes but the park isn’t giant, you don’t really need a cart unless it’s for the hills. If you go to the boat area- take your vehicle if you don’t want a work out on the way back up.

      Wisconsin Riverside Resort

      Camping with all the amenities

      We came here to enjoy some river tubing! Free shuttle takes you up river for a 3 hour float trip. We reserved one campsite for 2 couples. There was a picnic table, fire pit and electric hookup onsite. Port o potties and spigot nearby and a dumpster for trash. They have non electric camp sites along with RV sites and cabins with everything you could need including kitchen and tv. Seems like a lot of people stay there for the long haul as there are some trailer homes with heavy decoration.

      The general store has everything you would need available for purchase and there's a large bar/restaurant attached. We were there the same day of a wedding reception. Free mini golf and swimming pool for campers. Bugs were a bit of an issue but thats expected. The river is clean with a shallow sandy bottom which attracts many parties and fun times. Not exactly the place for a quiet getaway.

      Cox Hollow Campground — Governor Dodge State Park

      Noisy

      This was my first and probably last time camping at Cox Hollow. Let’s start with positive: easy access to the campsite I was able to park my car right by the tent. Bathrooms and showers seemed clean enough, but I would recommend wearing some sort of footwear while you shower. Now the negatives: loud and obnoxious families with screaming bratty kids, people leave food scraps so raccoons are not scared and come right up to you sniffing for food, people have zero courtesy and slam bathroom door non stop, not to mention slamming down dumpster lids literally all day and late into the evening. Oh and did I mention screaming kids? Apparently “quiet hours” are from 11pm-8am, well the noise continued almost into midnight hours and as early as 6:30am. Thumping stereos with loud music, also can’t blame dogs for barking, but we had a howler and it kept going all the time. Forget about sleeping in or enjoying the sounds of nature. I’d like try different campsite at this park, but won’t be returning to Cox Hollow.

      Wisconsin Riverside Resort

      Great family campground right on the lower Wisconsin River!

      Overall my family LOVED this campground. There is a decent sized pool that is clean and well-maintained with a smaller kiddie pool with a slide. There is also a man-made lake with a beach for swimming and bigger kids to enjoy the large inflatable slides and swim platforms. The campground is right on the river, and provides rentals for canoes, kayaks, and tubes. They will shuttle you as far up the river as you'd like to go, and you float or paddle back while enjoying all the sand bars along the way.

      As an RV campground, the sites were level and grassy with at least one tree per lot. In the sites closer to the pool and lagoon (swim lake), they offer little privacy but are great for multi-family groups. We got a site with some woods in the back, so it was more quiet and private. The electrical and water hook ups were conveniently located, and the site was easy to get into. There were a lot of big Class A motorhomes, so the sites are plenty big. The tent sites are further away from the action, but have easy access to another bathroom and shower. They're also close to the river, and back up to a large corn field. There's a row of pine trees for easy hammock set up, and open grassy areas to let your group sprawl. The bathrooms were clean and nice, but they do have a $1 min for a shower. There is a change machine in the laundry facility.

      The Resort also has an extensive camp shop and a huge restaurant with outdoor riverside seating. With live music and a full bar, this made for a really relaxing atmosphere if you're not up to campfire cooking. 

      We enjoyed this campground and it's friendly staff and campers. Even through there are a lot of people there so you're not isolated in the woods, it wasn't loud or obnoxious with partiers. It's Wisconsin, so everybody was drinking beers and having fun but it wasn't loud and rowdy. The best part is the location on the Wisconsin River- you can get your fill of quiet solitude on the water, or float in a tube with a case of beer if you like. We enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back! It’s a great spot to use as home base for river trips, and don’t forget the Spring Green Desert conservancy nearby. Who knew there were cactuses in Wisconsin? Total hike is about 3.2 miles round trip, with a gorgeous view of the valley.

      Nelson Dewey State Park Campground

      All around decent site

      I camped in 18 in early August. The site itself was sloped away from the road making it feel tucked into the trees. The downside was that the only flat space for the tent was very close to the fire pit. As a hammock camper, this was not a good site. The trees were far from the cleared area making a hammock hard to set up. Facilities were great and the mosquitoes we're almost non-existent. Great location for a larger group or multiple tents.

      The only thing you need to be aware of: there is a train track very close. The train runs very regularly and can be loud. For me, it was the city noise I needed to fall asleep.

      Depends on your site.

      My wife and I tent camped here. We had never been here before.

      We stayed at site 77 as the majority of the sites were booked.

      77 is sloped, as well as gravel with hard packed earth. Some patches of grass, but for the most part it’s gravel. My wife and I sleep on mattresses, so it was not an issue for us.

      If you’re tent camping, I highly recommend looking for a site with a leveled tent pad. We did not inspect any of them, but from a distance the pads look like packed sand or something of that nature.

      The pit toilets are very well taken care of. The shower facilities were not open during our visit.

      Here is where our problems lied (and this has little to do with the park itself)

      there was no end-of-night patrol of any kind. The biggest issue we faced was the amount of noise. All of the sites surrounding us knew each other and partied together. People that partied until 1am, yelling and being loud as hell. Screaming at cars that drove by. quiet hours are listed online starting at 10pm.

      We left our campsite to ask the Onsite host for help or to do something about it, but they chose not to come out of their camper. We called every line we could to get someone to come and shut them up, but alas, no park employees or hotlines were available. The wife and I certainly did not want to call the cops since we were surrounded by a group of drunk loud people and that can get out of hand fast.

      Park staff came to our site the very next morning and talked to us. They warned all groups around us of the noise level. While this did calm down the partying our next night, it did not stop them from yelling things towards our campsite to try and scare us. Making animal noises and non-sense scare tactics to try and intimidate us.

      Trashy and disrespectful, we walk away from our experience with an extremely negative stain.

      This has nothing to do with the park itself, just the unfortunate circumstance that we were surrounded by terrible people that do not respect the rules of camping.

      Nice clean campground near the Dells

      We stayed in site #4 it was nice sized and quiet. We had full hook up, a picnic table & fire pit, our friends camped next to us in #5. The store had supplies, and firewood they deliver it to your site. There are outside showers & regular showers but always love a good outside shower. It was pretty quiet in the campground. 

      Close by is the Wisconsin Dells, we did the 2 hour boat tour it was fun. Went to The Village Cafe in Baraboo it's owned by friends of ours who have a place in Florida where we live. Good food & great desserts. We went to the crane foundation that was nice, beautiful birds they are. We went to Devils lake for a day & hiked around the grotto it was beautiful. There is a spot Big Blue herons nest in the tall pines they make a lot of noise. They had babies in their nests. 

      Nice campground it was a good find.

    Guide to Highland

    Nelson Dewey State Park offers distinctive yurt camping options near Highland, Wisconsin, situated in the rugged Driftless Area terrain characterized by steep forested hills and deep valleys. These elevated camping structures provide protection from the elements while maintaining a rustic outdoor experience on the limestone bluffs above the Mississippi River. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing, requiring appropriate gear for cold-weather yurt stays.

    What to do

    Kayak the Kickapoo River: Rent equipment near Wildcat Mountain State Park and enjoy a scenic paddle. "We took the opportunity to kayak down the Kickapoo and had a blast - make sure you do some exploring while you are here," notes Holly W., who ranked the experience among her favorites.

    Explore geological formations: Visit the nearby Spring Green Desert conservancy featuring unexpected Wisconsin cacti. "Who knew there were cactuses in Wisconsin? Total hike is about 3.2 miles round trip, with a gorgeous view of the valley," reports Kim L. from Wisconsin Riverside Resort.

    Winter cave camping: Experience underground camping at Eagle Cave Resort during colder months. "Winter is best for cave camping! Mostly scouts and church groups during the winter," notes Jennfer C., who recommends bringing proper protection when exploring the cave system.

    Cross-country skiing: Access groomed winter trails at many state parks when snow conditions permit. The trails at Wildcat Mountain offer varied terrain for different skill levels, with most routes under 5 miles and suitable for beginners to intermediates.

    What campers like

    Secluded walk-in sites: The walk-in campsites at Nelson Dewey State Park provide exceptional privacy and views. "We stayed in walk-in site C, which the furthest site from the parking lot. Arrive before dark!! The wheelbarrows provided are a lifesaver," advises Steph P., noting the steep terrain requires planning.

    Riverside recreation: Multiple campgrounds feature river access for water activities. "Free shuttle takes you up river for a 3 hour float trip," explains Joe K. about tubing options at Wisconsin Riverside Resort, adding that "the river is clean with a shallow sandy bottom."

    Evening wildlife viewing: Cox Hollow campground offers consistent raccoon sightings, though caution is advised. "Beware of raccoons at this campground they are BOLD!" warns Jen L., highlighting the importance of proper food storage when yurt camping near Highland.

    Modern bathroom facilities: Many campgrounds maintain clean restroom facilities. "Bathrooms and showers are modern and clean," notes Renee W. about Nelson Dewey State Park, a sentiment echoed across several locations in the region.

    What you should know

    Train noise considerations: Several riverfront campgrounds experience railroad noise. At Grant River Recreation Area, "the train tracks are not far away" with "a train every 30 min," according to Adam, who still enjoyed the riverside setting despite the sound disturbance.

    Weather preparedness: Spring conditions can create moisture issues in caves and low-lying areas. "Bring a tarp or tent to cover yourself. We went in March, so with all the runoff from the snow it was a very wet experience," advises Charles M. about Eagle Cave camping.

    Reservation requirements: Popular sites book months in advance, particularly yurt accommodations. "If you are looking to get either site book it now... it fills up fast! I had my site reserved for 6 months!!" explains Jaspmine B. regarding Nelson Dewey State Park's premium locations.

    Highway proximity: Some campgrounds have noticeable road noise. Mirror Lake State Park campers report hearing the highway from certain sites, though many find it serves as "white noise" that actually helps with sleeping.

    Tips for camping with families

    Specialized children's areas: Fox Hill RV Park offers multiple kid-friendly recreation options. "The kids loved the blow ops in the pond. The pool was nice, but a bit colder than the pond," reports Joan, who appreciated the variety of activities available.

    Dog-friendly amenities: Several parks accommodate pets with specialized areas. "They had a dog beach for them to swim in which was a huge plus! Great hiking with some beautiful scenery," notes Sarah B. about her experience camping with two dogs at Cox Hollow Campground.

    Group camping options: Reserve adjacent sites for family gatherings at several parks. "Stayed here last year with a group of friends! Had 2 different group sites and both were awesome! A lot of space and not close to other group sites," shares Amanda J. about Governor Dodge State Park.

    Educational opportunities: Many parks offer ranger programs focused on natural history. The Spring Green area features educational stations about early settlers, with informational signs about local history and ecology throughout the trail systems.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: Come prepared with leveling equipment for many area campgrounds. "Our site was very unlevel side to side. It took two 2x6 and a 1x6 under the camp side to be level," reports Jeff G. from Wisconsin Riverside Resort, noting the significant step height this created.

    Size restrictions: Larger RVs face limitations at some parks. "Great campground for everything but big 5th wheelers and motorhomes," advises Paul C. about Governor Dodge State Park, recommending alternatives for larger units.

    Full hookup options: When seeking amenities, research specific campground loops. "The new section will be a lot better next year, but *just* finished construction and it is still a wide open area," explains Kim L. about Fox Hill's newer full-hookup section, contrasting it with more established wooded sites.

    Winter accessibility: Most RV campgrounds in the region close seasonally. Operating seasons typically run April through October, with limited winter camping options primarily at state parks that offer yurt accommodations.
