Camping spots near Loganville, Wisconsin span across rural countryside at elevations ranging from 900-1300 feet above sea level. Most local campgrounds operate from May through mid-October, with average summer temperatures ranging 70-85°F during peak season. Highway noise impacts several campgrounds due to their proximity to Interstate 90/94, requiring strategic site selection for a quieter experience.
What to do
Water activities at Mirror Lake State Park: The no-wake policy creates ideal conditions for paddling and fishing. "The lake is great for kayaking. Lots of sandstone cliffs," reports one visitor at Sandstone Ridge Campground. Rentals for canoes and kayaks are available at the boat launch.
Hiking above Devils Lake: Trail difficulty varies from easy lakeside paths to strenuous climbs up 500-foot quartzite bluffs. "You either get Sun or shade. Bathrooms are both new and old depending on site location," notes a camper at Quartzite Campground. Balanced Rock and Devils Doorway rock formations mark popular trail destinations.
Disc golf at Fox Hill: The campground maintains a course through wooded terrain. "They have a nice site but probably the nosiest place i have ever camped. Great place for hiking. Kayaks for rent," explains a guest at Fox Hill RV Park. Access is included with camping fees, and equipment can be rented at the camp store.
What campers like
Large, wooded sites at Mirror Lake: Many campsites offer natural privacy screens. "Big sites near us ours 138, 137 big but soggy when it rains hard, 136 is nice it has a view of the lake," shares a visitor at Cliffwood Campground. Most sites accommodate tents and medium-sized RVs with level gravel pads.
Clean facilities at Devils Lake: Shower facilities receive regular maintenance. "Devil's Lake State Park has 3 public campgrounds to handle over 3 million visitors a year. This means it's packed. I made reservations to be sure and get a spot," notes a camper at Ice Age Campground. Showers operate with simple on-off controls rather than temperature adjustments.
Swimming options: Each campground provides different water access. "They have a large field on the temporary renter side, where we've previously set up a volleyball net. As long as things are kept under control, all is well," explains a camper at Skillet Creek. Devils Lake offers two swimming beaches with designated pet swimming areas on the south shore.
What you should know
Interstate noise levels: Highway sounds affect certain sites more than others. "The campground is really nice. The facilities are excellent. However it's really close to the interstate and the road noise is awful," warns a visitor at Cliffwood Campground. Sites furthest from I-90/94 provide the quietest experience.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill completely during summer weekends. "The sites here are large but get reserved quickly! Yiu need to book the 11 months in advance, especially for holiday weekends," advises a camper at Quartzite Campground. Wisconsin State Parks open reservations 11 months before arrival date.
Wildlife encounters: Raccoons frequently visit campgrounds in the area. "The raccoons were brutal. They broke into our crates twice. Smart enough to figure out the clip mechanism," reports a visitor at Sandstone Ridge Campground. Food storage containers should be secured at night with latches raccoons cannot manipulate.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. "Campgrounds have open spots for bigger rvs as well as shaded areas. Love it," shares a visitor at Quartzite Campground. Bluewater Bay and Northern Lights campgrounds feature playgrounds near shower facilities for convenience.
Swimming options for children: Beach areas vary in size and amenities. "The pool was nice, but a bit colder than the pond. It's heated with a solar cover," notes a visitor at Fox Hill RV Park. Devils Lake offers swimming with lifeguards during peak summer months, while Mirror Lake provides a calmer experience without motorized boats.
Theme weekends at private campgrounds: Scheduled activities provide entertainment beyond hiking and swimming. "This was a trip where very little of our time was spent at the campsite, and most of our time was on kayaks on the lake itself," explains a visitor at Wisconsin Dells KOA. Weekly schedules are posted at campground offices with most activities occurring on weekends.
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Level sites can be challenging to find at certain campgrounds. "We took site 138 as recommended by another reviewer. Nice, quiet loop, little traffic, close to a bathroom with showers and the paved trail," advises an RVer at Cliffwood Campground. Most state park campgrounds have limited sites that accommodate RVs over 35 feet.
Hookup availability: Electric options vary significantly between loops. "We are in site 37 and didn't need to level at all. They range in size good for tents and a couple cars to larger rv," notes a visitor at Bluewater Bay. Only Northern Lights and Cliffwood campgrounds offer 50-amp service, while others provide 30-amp connections or no hookups.
Water and dump facilities: Most state park campgrounds require filling tanks upon arrival. "There is a dump and potable water fill for rvs between the entrance and this campground," explains a camper at Bluewater Bay. Northern Lights and Quartzite campgrounds maintain sanitary dump stations near the campground entrances, accessible without unhooking tow vehicles.
