$67 after tax for primitive. Overpriced. Nice place though. Easy to get in. Great for kids, but those us passing through…don’t.

TravelerSky High Camping Resort
It’s a great place to stay they have lots of activities for the kids, it helps that they are year around and their prices aren’t bad.
- KKevin D.
ScoutLake Kegonsa State Park Campground
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. 👎
Zach G.TravelerNew Glarus State Park Campground
Smaller campground with decent sized campsites with picnic table and fire ring pit. Although my site and quite a bit of unleveled ground which made for limit options to pitch a tent. Pretty good cell service with T- mobile.
Cindy S.TravelerBreezy Hill Campground
A year round place
Very friendly and very clean. 1 swimming pond 2 fishing ponds volleyball courts and 2 off leash dog areas. Showers are free and they have a huge kid play area along with a seasonal swimming pool and hot tub.

New Glarus State Park Campground
Rustic but nice trails and close to town
Campground is small with only 18 car camping sites. Vault toilets, no showers. No electricity or dump station. Group camping sites and walk-in or bike-sites also available. I don't mind vault toilets but they were very low to the ground without any grab bar. I found it odd that this campground has many sites for cyclists using the sugar river bike trail and there isn't any showers. Being close to town is nice. There is a paved path that takes you right into New Glarus and past the New Glarus Brewery. After a day of cycling or hiking, one really needs a shower before heading into town!!
Cheryl S.TravelerMendota County Park
Quiet urban park campground
The beauty of this campground was to Madison venues. We stayed here twice recently and took Uber rides too and from Camp Randall. It’s a very clean and friendly campground ground. Very nice pavilion for events. I loved the walking path and benches along the lake.

Late night party central
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.
Guide to Marshall
Campgrounds near Marshall, Wisconsin offer diverse camping options across central Wisconsin's glacial landscapes. Most sites sit at elevations of 800-900 feet within the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands region, which experiences warm summers with July highs averaging 83°F. Several campgrounds feature spring-fed lakes and restored oak savannas characteristic of this ecological transition zone.
What to do
Kayak the Crawfish River: At Astico County Park, campers can rent kayaks and canoes for exploring the river directly from their campsites. "The camp hostess are great. They help with camp wood with they ask if you want bundles or lose choose loose. They also have canoes and kayaks to rent," notes Michael L.
Explore historical sites: The Sandhill Station area offers access to nearby Aztalan State Park with its Native American archaeological site. "There are hiking trails as well as guide tour booklets. The museum has a small fee, but is a collection of Native American artifacts as well as things from local residents and their ancestors," explains Jimmy P.
Ride the train to Little Amerricka: Whistlestop Campground provides unique train transportation to a nearby amusement park. "They have 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," says David H., who adds that "the amusement park itself was not too expensive."
What campers like
Spring-fed lakes: Lake Kegonsa State Park provides access to a natural spring-fed lake. "Clean facilities, friendly staff, and great trails. No bugs!" reports Brendan E. The park offers both swimming and fishing opportunities.
Artesian wells: Natural water features at Astico County Park attract many visitors. "We enjoyed the song of frogs and the artesian well," writes Kay K., who also mentions the "nice hiking trails and restored rail bridge" that enhance the natural experience.
Dark night skies: Several campgrounds offer good stargazing opportunities away from city lights. "It was dark enough to see the Milky Way," notes Kay K. about Astico County Park, which provides relatively isolated camping experiences despite being close to Madison.
What you should know
Height restrictions: Some parks have unexpected overhead hazards. At Lake Kegonsa State Park, Kathy L. warns: "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."
Highway proximity: Token Creek County Park sits near major roads, affecting the camping experience. "It's close to the highway, which is a pro and a con. Not too loud though, and electric site with enough shade trees for summer," explains Kim L., adding it's "a great campground to shake out the camper early in the season."
Seasonal facilities: Many campgrounds limit services seasonally. "For Memorial Day weekend the pool wasn't open, porta-potties near the lake and lodge were still padlocked/closed," reports Michael T. about Hickory Hills Campground, suggesting visitors "wait for later in the year when everything is up and running."
