What to Do
Disc golf access: Fox Hill RV Park & Campground near Baraboo features an on-site disc golf course where campers can play at no additional cost. "The campground offered a variety of activities for kids which was something that would draw us back to the campground again," notes a visitor to Fox Hill RV Park & Campground.
Swimming options: Multiple water features await at Blackhawk Camping Resort in Milton, which offers lake access for boating and fishing. "The grounds are a mix of being dated and in the midst of being repaired. While a small body of water, it's fairly deep and perfect for some light sailing and excellent for a great day of fishing," according to one review of Blackhawk Camping Resort.
Outdoor games: River Bend RV Resort in Watertown provides numerous recreational facilities beyond standard campground amenities. "Horseshoes, bags pavilion, craft areas, fantastic pool and water slides, outdoor bar and ice cream shop. Don't forget the lake and floating obstacle course. Dog park, baseball field, the list goes on," writes a camper who stayed at River Bend RV Resort.
What Campers Like
Peaceful environment: Country Roads Motorhome & RV Park offers a quieter camping experience with adult-focused amenities. "Quiet, all drive-thrus, reasonable rates, very close to the dells, clean bathhouse. We enjoyed our stay close to everything. Walmart and major shopping within a half a mile," reports a visitor to Country Roads Motorhome & RV Park.
Kid-friendly activities: Arrowhead RV Campground features multiple recreational options for families with children. "Great campground for families with kids and teens. Tons of activities all around the campground. There were outdoor movies, put-put, corn hole, two pools, huge trampoline, volleyball nets, disc golf, and a Christmas in July festival all happening when we were there," explains a camper at Arrowhead RV Campground.
Convenience to attractions: Location matters for many RV campers seeking sites near Middleton. "We came to this area to do some genealogical work and needed to be situated between Madison and Beloit. Good location for that," notes a visitor to Lakeland Camping Resort, highlighting the strategic position for exploring the region.
What You Should Know
Site sizes vary: Space considerations matter when planning your RV trip. "The sites for RVs are spaced nicely so you don't feel like you're right on top of another RV. Good sized sites too," observes a recent visitor to Fox Hill RV Park.
Seasonal closures: Most campgrounds operate from mid-April through mid-October. Arrowhead RV Campground runs from "mid April to mid October," while Lakeland Camping Resort operates from "April 15 to October 15," limiting winter camping options.
Electrical limitations: Extension cords may be needed at some campgrounds. "Make sure you bring 50 ft of electrical cord and water hose. They do offer to barrow their extension cords," advises a camper at Creekview RV Park, highlighting an often overlooked preparation detail.
Tips for Camping with Families
Activity schedules: Check campground calendars for special events. "We just returned from a family reunion of 20 people camping together and they were great to work with. We were able to have 3 pop ups and 2 tents on 3 sites. We also rented a cabin for the great grandparents," shares a visitor to Arrowhead RV Campground.
Safety considerations: Campground terrain may present challenges for young children. "One of the maintenance men started using fire to burn all the pine needles out of the rocks which was just feet from us. Great idea but not when my twin two-year-olds are running around," cautions a parent who stayed at Arrowhead RV Campground.
Budget planning: Pack food or prepare for on-site dining options. "There is a decent pool (cold) as well as a swimming pond (dyed blue). Firewood and ice is delivered to your site," notes a Fox Hill visitor, mentioning convenient amenities that may add to your camping budget.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Prepare for potentially uneven sites at some campgrounds. "Our site was very unlevel side to side. It took two 2x6 and a 1x6 under the camp side to be level. That made the first step into the coach, and last step out of the coach extremely high off the ground," warns an RVer at Fox Hill.
Site selection strategy: Consider what amenities matter most for your camping style. "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," advises a Fox Hill camper.
Off-peak advantages: Visit during weekdays for a quieter experience. "Quiet during week days with more folks coming in for weekend use. Assume it's very active in the summer," notes a Lakeland Camping Resort visitor, highlighting the difference between midweek and weekend camping.
