    Marshall, Wisconsin and the surrounding area provide both established campgrounds and RV resorts to accommodate different camping styles. Whistlestop Campground, located directly in Marshall, offers tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin options. Within 20 miles, campers can find additional established options like Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground in Stoughton and Token Creek County Park near DeForest. These campgrounds feature varying amenities including electric hookups, drinking water, showers, and trash service. Most campgrounds in the area remain accessible by standard vehicles, with many sites supporting larger RVs and offering big-rig friendly designations.

    The camping season in this region typically runs from May through October, though some parks like Lake Kegonsa State Park and William G. Lunney Lake Farm Campground operate year-round. Summer temperatures average 75-85°F during the day, dropping to 55-65°F at night, while spring and fall bring cooler conditions. Most campgrounds require reservations, particularly during summer weekends and holidays when sites fill quickly. Water and electric hookups are common features at established campgrounds, though their availability varies by location. Cell service remains generally reliable throughout the area. As one visitor to Lake Farm Campground noted, "Spaces are generous in size although no privacy between them. Bathrooms are very large and clean."

    Campers report that noise levels vary significantly between locations. Sites near highways, such as some at Cliffwood Campground in Mirror Lake State Park, experience road noise particularly at night. Several visitors mentioned the natural surroundings as highlights, with wooded areas providing shade and scenic views. Wildlife sightings, particularly deer, are common at campgrounds backing up to forests or farmland. Fishing opportunities exist at several locations, with Rice Lake at Hickory Hills Campground offering bluegill, bass, bullhead, and crappie fishing.

      Pike Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Pike Lake Unit

      Near Ice Age Trail, open woods

      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.

      Whitewater Lake Campground & Hickory Woods Group Camp — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Southern Unit

      Nice Campsites

      For a primitive campground, this was a nice-enough experience.

      Pros: 

      - The sites we stayed in and the others that we noticed seemed sizeable and had nice tree-cover

      - Having access to the Ice Age Trail was really neat

      - Lake access nearby

      Cons:

      - On the continuum of vault toilet quality, these were on the less-desirable end.  We joked about whether it was scarier to visit them when they were dark or when the lights were on.  If you love having fly friends keep you company when nature calls, then these are the bathrooms for you!  The bathrooms did get cleaned on Sunday morning, but this didn't help the situation very much.

      - No showers

      Notable bad news

      ⭐ 1/5— Not a Family-Friendly Experience We have traveled by motorhome for many years and stayed at numerous KOA campgrounds. For many years ! Sadly, this is the first negative review we have ever written. Milton KOA is beautiful and clean, although the sites are somewhat crowded. Most staff members were polite and helpful. Unfortunately, the conduct of one employee was completely unacceptable. Our group included six families with children ages 3–18. This employee used profanity, including the“F-word,” toward the children and behaved in a verbally abusive and threatening manner. When one mother calmly tried to address the situation, the employee moved toward her aggressively, causing her to fear she might be struck, and shouted,“I’m sick and tired of this.” At approximately 9:45 p.m., the 18-year-olds in our group were ordered back to their campsite, even though they were simply walking around and were not being loud or disruptive. Adults were allowed to drink in the pool area, while our children were treated with hostility and disrespect just for being there. No food no drinks.No child or parent should experience profanity, intimidation, or threatening behavior from a campground employee. The campground may be enjoyable for adults traveling without children. However, based on what our six families experienced, we cannot recommend Milton KOA to families with children. We are submitting a formal complaint to KOA Corporate and requesting a thorough investigation. Also, wasp infestation beware if you have allergies .

      Mendota County Park

      Nice overnight

      Stayed one night. Very nice campground on the edge of Lake Mendota. Playground for kids, tables near the lake. Nice weather, too, made for a great stay.

      New Glarus State Park Campground

      Convenient to New Glarus

      This is a small campground. Sites are a little overgrown and not very level. No hook ups. No dump station, but quiet and a good overnight stop

      Astico County Park

      Great location, a little noisy. Overall good place

      We camped on Site 9, which is at the front of the park near the entrance. The site was mostly level, with electric only hookups. If I had been here before I would have chosen a site tucked back farther to avoid some of the highway noise, but overall it was a good experience. We hiked a mile or two through the park, the bathhouse we used while on a walk was well supplied and clean with bathroom and shower combined, all unisex. We would stay here again if in the area.

      Cliffwood Campground — Mirror Lake State Park

      Beware of extra fees

      The RV campsite for out of state guests was listed for $58. However when entering the park we were charged an additional $16.

      Potable water is at the front of the campground. Ice is not sold on site.

    Guide to Marshall

    Camping near Marshall, Wisconsin provides convenient access to both spring-fed lakes and rural countryside settings within a 30-mile radius. The area sits at approximately 850 feet above sea level in Wisconsin's glacial drumlin region, characterized by oval-shaped hills formed during the last ice age. Summer nights in the region can drop to the mid-50s°F even when daytime temperatures reach the 80s, making adequate sleeping gear essential regardless of season.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Rice Lake at Hickory Hills Campground offers accessible fishing for multiple species. "You'll catch no shortage of blue gills, small and large mouthed bass, bullheads and crappie" in this 172-acre spring-fed lake according to Stuart K., who visited in 2024.

    Trail access: The camping areas around Marshall connect to several regional trail systems. At William G. Lunney Lake Farm Campground, "There are many paths, one is a paved path leading into town which could be biked. The area around the camp is lovely and peaceful," according to Pam R.

    Family entertainment: The Marshall area offers unique attractions within short drives. Michael R. notes that Whistlestop Campground has "a train that comes through every hour during the day to pick you up and take you to the next door amusement park which was a lot of fun we spent the entire day there. And the amusement park itself was not too expensive."

    What campers like

    Night sky viewing: Some rural campgrounds offer minimal light pollution. Kay K. appreciates that Astico County Park is "Dark enough to see the Milky Way. The sites are a decent size and well maintained. We easily backed in and leveled our pop up."

    Natural water features: Springs and artesian wells add unique features to some campgrounds. Kay K. also enjoyed "the song of frogs and the artesian well" at Astico County Park, which includes a restored rail bridge and multiple hiking trails.

    Clean facilities: Many campers note the cleanliness of facilities as a highlight. At Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground, Matt N. found "Clean bathrooms with showers. Good sized site with nice privacy. Good hiking around the lake and mostly dog friendly. Nice playground with horse she pits."

    What you should know

    Highway noise levels: Proximity to roads affects some campgrounds more than others. At Token Creek County Park, Catherine C. notes it is "quite noisy, being near an airport and freeway" while Scott P. finds that "It can get noisy. It can also get very quiet and peaceful."

    Insects and ticks: Bug pressure varies significantly by season and location. Tawnie T. warns about Sandhill Station State Campground: "The sites are really near some stagnant water, though, so WAY too many mosquitoes, even with the really intense bug spray."

    Site selection considerations: Campground layouts vary considerably. At Token Creek County Park, Kendall H. advises to be "Careful of the even numbered side. It's a bit of a low space, and some sites can flood in heavy rain. That's not to say the entire camp is flood prone. Just some sites."

    Low clearance hazards: Some campgrounds have overhead obstacles. Kathy L. warns about Lake Kegonsa State Park: "There is an oak tree near entry with low branches and it took the AC off our friend's fifth wheel. There is also a low hanging overpass and it took the roofs off TWO fifth wheels while we were staying there."

    Tips for camping with families

    Water recreation options: Several campgrounds feature water activities beyond swimming. At Badgerland Campground, Ted W. notes: "The pedestrian beach is too rocky for my liking, but the dog beach is nice and sandy yet small. There is also a bit of a hike to get there. So if you take a cooler you may want a wagon."

    Playground access: Most family-friendly campgrounds include play areas. At Milton-Madison SE KOA, Chris H. reports "They have a ton of things to do for the family like a baseball backstop, sand volleyball, horse shoes, a playground etc."

    Weekend activities: Many campgrounds schedule regular family programming. Margo S. describes 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."

    Tips from RVers

    Dump station considerations: Setup and access vary between facilities. Jack C. observed at William G. Lunney Lake Farm Campground that "The one road can get congested when you are waiting for the dump station."

    Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require more setup work than others. Stephen C. observed at Badgerland Campground: "The Dyrt lists them as having sewer hookups and they DO NOT have sewer at any site on the campground, though they do offer a pump-out service to come by and empty your tanks (for a fee…$15, I think)."

    Golf cart usage: Several campgrounds permit or rent golf carts for navigating larger properties. Margo S. notes at Hickory Hills Campground: "Most people have golf carts as there is no place to park by the pool or the club house."
