5 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Jefferson, Wisconsin. River Bend RV Resort in Watertown offers full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. Blackhawk Camping Resort in Milton provides RV sites with electric and water hookups, operating from April to October. Lakeland Camping Resort features pull-through sites with 50-amp service and accommodates larger motorhomes on gravel pads. Creekview RV Park near Edgerton has water and electric hookups with a central dump station and ample gravel pads for parking. "Sites have a flat, grassy area with a couple mature trees and couldn't see the people in the sites next to us," noted one visitor about a nearby campground.
Fairgrounds RV Park stands out with 20/30/50-amp electrical service, most sites having water hookups, and pull-through options for larger rigs. During peak summer months, many parks fill quickly, particularly on weekends and holidays. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with spotty coverage in more rural settings. A review mentioned: "ATT just one bar. No internet. They charge extra if you have visitors." Wisconsin State Fair RV Park operates year-round with both 30 and 50-amp hookups, though the sewage system presents challenges for some campers. Most parks in the region are pet-friendly but impose leash requirements. Dump stations are available at all major RV parks, though their layout and accessibility differ considerably.

"It is a beautiful place with enough space for tents, The only thing missing is the store. They sell fire wood at the gate."

This campground charges both a site reservation fee ($33 for a primitive mosquito infested tent site) AND an additional day use fee on top of that - a $16 fee on top of that! $49????? For a no hook up single tent site???? Of course the fees aren’t actually published anywhere so you have to reserve it to actually know what you’ll be paying. It’s nothing special so these fees aren’t actually warranted for this place. 👎
We got a campsite with a concrete pad. Electricity 30 amp site. There is a dump station close to the registration office. Boat ramp available for campers. One cabin for rental overlooking the Pierce Lake $50/night for Illinois resident. Beautiful setting. Wild turkeys roaming through our campground.
We have been seasonal campers for many years! When we first started, everyone was very nice and we always had a great time. Each years the rules change a bit which is common.The last three years have been horrible! We have had nothing but issues that I brought up to the staff many times. I have had the workers ask me if I was f***in stupid, people stealing stuff off our lot, telling our guest we don’t camp there( even tho they knew they were coming for my daughters birthday party), and much more. They are extremely Strict on the 5 mph. They will scream at you if they see Gravel dust as you drive. The campground is not well maintained. I wish things would not have ended the way it has. I’m happy we found a better family friendly campground to be at where my kids are not scared to be playing in our lot!
The park is beautiful. The water is beautiful. They say it's a gated community, but it's open to the public 9 to 5 daily. At twenty five dollars per person. And then on friday and saturday night, the locals that park here for the summer start their party central including karaoke at the camper next door, and several others. I've never had a camcround with that loud of parties. And it's a weekend event. I like hearing and seeing people having fun but when the manager extends the curfew for the parties she's at (they kind of party hop), it starts to affect the enjoyment of the park. If we had to stay, we'd stay in the S## sites in the back, where you don't hear so much of the partying. And then during the day, the rules began. Kind of like the soup nazi.
There’s a lot of things to do out here. We did some hiking with our boy. The site we were at was maintained. It’s a nice place to go camping.
There’s something wonderfully EZ about camping where the kids can wander down toward the water and suddenly the whole weekend seems to slow down ... and that’s the entire charm of Honeysuckle Hollow. Here at Chain O’Lakes State Park, Honeysuckle Hollow is the largest and most wide open of the park’s camping areas, with electric sites geared particularly well toward RV families, although the tradeoff is noticeably less shade and almost zero privacy between nearly every campsite, compared with neighboring Fox Den, which offers up much more seclusion and shade. The greatest asset here is undoubtedly the direct access to Turner Lake (although you could also have direct access over at Turner Lake South), giving families an EZ place to fish, paddle or simply explore the shoreline, while electric hookups, picnic tables, grills and a nearby restroom/shower building keep the actual camping comfortably simple. We especially loved those unhurried moments when the boys could wander toward the lake while dinner was getting started and everyone seemed perfectly happy just being outside together. The shower facility here is convenient, although we found it just slightly more dilapidated conditions than the bathhouse located closer to Fox Den. From what we saw, I’d choose one of the better-spaced sites toward the Turner Lake side of the campground, where EZ water access helps compensate for Honeysuckle’s limited privacy. I’d recommend Honeysuckle for families who value electricity, lake access and a lively campground atmosphere, particularly if having Turner Lake practically in your backyard matters more than having your neighbors hidden behind the trees. One point to note is that the pier was in an advanced state of disrepair and so we were not able to fully maximize this particular amenity - so if accessing Turner Lake is important to you and your family, we would recommend calling ahead to verify the condition of the pier.
We are traveling mid week in September so did not make advanced reservations. The registration booth attendant assigned us site 506. (We were not permitted to drive through to pick our own location before registering). Our site was grassy and a bit muddy after some significant rains, but it was cozy with trees and tall brush on all sides. Pit toilets at each loop with a shower building just 5 minute walk away. You can hear the din of the highway about .5 miles away, but an easy place to stay if you are traveling through. Electricity on site, water spigots nearby and dump station near the entrance.
Sites are large, well-spaced, many shaded by wonderful large trees. The woods are very open with little understory, and much of the area facing the road is graveled, so you will still see your neighbors. So many hiking options - the Ice Age Trail connects to the campground only a few minutes walk away. Many hiking options, the walk to the Powder Hill Lookout tower is a must. Picnic area and waterfront are a short drive away. Bathrooms were clean and showers free, hot, and strong. Some traffic noise from highway nearby but quiet at night.
RV sites near Jefferson, Wisconsin offer convenient access to both urban attractions and rural landscapes. The terrain consists mostly of gently rolling hills with elevations ranging from 780 to 880 feet above sea level. Many campgrounds in the area have gravel pads for parking, with most offering full hookup options including water, electric and sewer connections.
Fishing opportunities: At Hickory Hills Campground, located 35 miles from Jefferson, visitors can take advantage of the 172-acre spring-fed lake. "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," noted a regular visitor.
Beach activities: Lakeland Camping Resort offers extensive water recreation during summer months. "Beach was amazing!!" remarked one camper who stayed at the resort despite some flooding issues. The resort features a lake with swimming areas that provide relief during hot Wisconsin summers.
Golf options: For those wanting a break from camping, Creekview RV Park offers convenient access to a golf course. "On the plus side, golfers can walk next door to a three-par course," mentions one reviewer who appreciated this amenity despite the campground's proximity to highway noise.
Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate the roominess at certain campgrounds near Jefferson. At Creekview RV Park, "Sites have ample gravel pads for parking," noted one visitor. This makes setup easier and provides adequate space between campers.
Clean facilities: Wisconsin State Fair RV Park maintains well-kept amenities despite being primarily a parking lot style campground. "Laundry and shower facilities were kept very clean as well. There were plenty of grassy areas to take our dog out to potty," shared a long-term camper who stayed for two months.
Evening entertainment: Weekend activities are common at many area campgrounds. "Golf cart parade, DJ, band, BINGO," listed one enthusiastic camper at Blackhawk Camping Resort, highlighting the social atmosphere that many seasonal campers enjoy at this establishment.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the region. Some sites offer decent coverage while others struggle. At Blackhawk Camping Resort, internet access can be spotty depending on your location within the campground.
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds near Jefferson operate from approximately mid-April through mid-October. Hickory Hills Campground runs "May 1 to Oct 15" while Creekview RV Park operates "April 15 to October 31," making advance planning essential for shoulder season camping.
Highway noise: Some campgrounds trade convenient access for quiet surroundings. "The campground is very close to the freeway and there is a constant din of traffic noise that remind you how close you are to the highway," warned one camper about Creekview RV Park, something to consider when selecting a site.
Water recreation options: Snug Harbor Inn Campground provides excellent lake access with tiered camping levels. "Great three tiered camping spot. Full hookup, and great views. Has a pub/restaurant with good food. Lots to do!" shared one visitor, making it suitable for families seeking water activities.
Activity planning: Look for campgrounds with scheduled events for children. "Workers never told us about activities our kids could do, we had no clue they were available," cautioned a Lakeland Camping Resort visitor, highlighting the importance of asking about organized activities upon arrival.
Site selection: Request sites away from high-traffic areas for families. Some campgrounds have designated quiet areas. "If you want to get run over by hundreds speeding golf carts, camp in an open field," warned one reviewer about certain sections of Blackhawk Camping Resort.
Dump station considerations: Many RV sites near Jefferson have varying dump station arrangements. At Fairgrounds RV Park, "Most sites have water hook-up" and there's a "Dump station" available, according to a month-long camper, though accessibility and design vary by location.
Site surface variations: Pay attention to what type of pad your site offers. "Sites also come in either grass or gravel, so be sure to ask when booking," advised a reviewer about Blackhawk Camping Resort, noting that surface type affects setup and comfort, especially during wet weather.
Electricity options: Check amperage availability when booking. "20/30/50 amp service" is available at Fairgrounds RV Park, while many other campgrounds primarily offer 50-amp connections that may require adapters for older RVs with 30-amp systems.
