Site 14
Be advised site 14 is on such a steep hill it was honestly scary coming in an out of our camper! If an older couple were staying at this site in a camper I’m not sure if they would even be able to. Our second door entrance cannot be used due to how steep the hill is and we had to add wood to the bottom of our stairs because they didn’t touch the ground. Forgot to add you’re also under a very large black walnut tree that is currently dropping walnuts that are ripe.

Smokey Hollow Campground
Camping spot was dirt island
Not a place for camping. We booked 2 nights site red 12. Streets were very narrow getting to site. The site was literally a dirt island. We had to drive over a curb. The site was so small. There were campers everywhere. We ended up leaving right away and booked a different campground

Quiet private sites
The sites are very wooded and shaded, making them incredibly private. Clean showers

Family, Pet, Motorcycle Friendly!
This is a fantastic Campground, especially for RVs and families. Large playground and outdoor games, small indoor rec area. During busy weekends with lots of kids and holidays, they have foam parties for the kids where they fill the basketball court with foam 3 ft High. Most sites are permanent sites, but have probably around 20 other 30 amp sites that can accommodate large RVs. There are only a few tent sites, but if tent is your only option and you still want to stay they will rent you an RV site for the tent. New owners are very friendly, and have adopted the same overwhelmingly hospitable nature as the previous owners. Fantastic people and very helpful. It will accommodate special needs or requests as long as it doesn't bother anybody or go against any insurance policies. I've had a permanent site here in the past, and recently started camping again and came to visit old friends. The new owners were still happy to accommodate semi truck parking for my job. I haul milk locally so I work more than I'm off, but the family can still camp and I can come when I'm done work. It is near the Wisconsin River, so it's fairly sand base although the Grass Grows plenty so you're not tracking sand everywhere. The benefits of this is when it rains heavily the sand absorbs the water rapidly. The only negative is the mosquitoes. Be prepared for mosquitoes with lots of bug spray. This is no fault of the campground, all low wetlands in Wisconsin are the same. The bathrooms are some of the best in any Campground I've seen. They are always clean, modernized, and Air condition. There are showers and bathroom stalls near the park. They try to keep families close to the park if possible for the bathrooms and the park access itself. They are really extremely accommodating for requests if it's in their power at all. The owners live at the campground and are always accessible by a simple phone call if after hours. There's a community vibe, with a community fire pit up front and often people are just hanging out outside of the main office. It embodies our Wisconsin way of life and you will find strangers waving at you every time you pass by. It's just our nature, don't be weirded out by the friendliness. The regular permanent campers are all so friendly and always willing to help a newbie or even someone struggling to figure out a problem or even carry things.

Cute campground with great hosts.
Found this campground by chance after the campground I had planned to stay at was a complete disaster. Luckily, they were able to get me a campsite for two nights where I could regroup do a little laundry and chill out also took a bike ride on the bike path.

Pretty but very uneven
The campground is very nice but most of the sites are not level. I’m not talking about just put down the leveling blocks, they’re like backing into a ditch. Thankfully I’m staying when it’s not busy but I had to circle the campground three times to find a site I could make work and call reservation.gov to change my reservation. It’s a shame because it is a very scenic location and the camp hosts have been superb.

Beautiful Blue
Welcome to Blue Mound State Park! This is another Wisconsin gym sitting in Southern West Wisconsin. It isn't too far from the city of Madison, but the closest town of Barneveld and Town of Mount Horeb are closer and offer a place to pick up any necessities you may need.
The park offers excellent hiking trails and 112 campsites with approximately 31 of those being electric. The park offers modern flush toilets and shower buildings.
The park also offers a rustic accessible cabin for people with disabilities. Also with an accessible flush toilet and shower building about 200 ft from this campsite. You can have a maximum of six people to occupy this rustic cabin.
One of the greatest things is this park offers a pool and splash pad for kids and this is a relatively good size swimming area! And also near a couple to her destinations, the most famous being Cave of the Mounds! I recommend checking this out if you have the chance!

Very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has very good food at reasonable prices. The store has a nice selection of most anything you may have forgotten or run out of. The sites are decently spaced. They have 2 pools, one more smaller child and family where the other is more adult and teenagers. Overall we had a great time with a great experience.
Guide to Mineral Point
Cabin accommodations near Mineral Point, Wisconsin provide shelter and basic amenities for visitors who prefer more protection than tent camping. Located in the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin, these structures range from rustic units with minimal facilities to fully furnished models with kitchen appliances. Most cabins in the region require advance reservations, especially during the peak season when temperatures typically reach 75-85°F during summer days.
What to do
Hiking and biking trails: Blue Mound State Park Campground offers extensive trail networks for day activities. "Beautiful hiking trails everywhere for different levels of hiker. The pool is awesome, and the splash pad is absolutely incredible," notes Mallory M. The park also provides opportunities for mountain biking on designated paths.
Swimming options: At Blue Mound State Park Campground, the public pool and splash pad area cost $3 for adults and $2 for children. "The pool is very nice and very clean. There is a pool section and a splash section. There are chairs and lounges around both and shade awnings," reports Debra M.
River activities: Wisconsin Riverside Resort provides water recreation with tube and kayak rentals. "The river felt amazing on a 95 degree day. If you have a kayak we suggest bringing it to get to the sandbar to hang out," says Juliana R. Their shuttle service takes visitors upriver for float trips back to the campground.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Campgrounds maintain regularly serviced bathrooms and shower buildings. At Skillet Creek Campground, "Bathrooms are very clean. Hot showers are free, although they only have an on and off, no temperature control," mentions Melissa K.
Entertainment options: Many properties offer on-site recreation beyond outdoor activities. "Skillet Creek Campground has friendly owners, themed weekends, glow parades, Saturday activities for kids, and movies nights," according to LeaAnn. The campground also features a large game room in their barn structure.
Firewood availability: Most cabin rental locations sell firewood on-site. At Blue Mound, "the camp host sold high-quality hard wood for $5/bundle from a trailer on the honor system, so if you run out in the middle of the night, wood was easy to replenish," notes Josh F.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Book well ahead, especially for summer weekends. Crazy Horse Campground "gets very busy on weekends and holidays you have to book in advance," according to Marc W.
Pet policies: Rules regarding animals vary significantly between properties. At Toms Campground in Dodgeville, pets are allowed with cabin rentals but may require additional fees or deposits.
Site privacy considerations: The level of seclusion differs between locations. "If you get along the outsides you have a lot more privacy and better chance they will be level. If you aren't worried about sharing a conversation with your neighbor then you can pick anything," advises Scott M. about Palace Campground near Galena.
Tips for camping with families
Activity packages: Some campgrounds bundle recreational options into daily fees. At Crazy Horse Campground, "They have a Daily Activity bracelet that allows you to partake in all activities but you need to purchase per person for each day regardless if you will utilize," explains Marc W.
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for properties with designated play areas. Skillet Creek Campground has "a nice playground for the kids and a small fishing pond. Owners were very friendly and accommodating to our family," reports Kendra R.
Fishing opportunities: Several locations offer no-license fishing for children. At Blackhawk Lake Recreational Area, the lake provides recreation with "a nice beach area" according to SmallRVLifestyle V., though note that "the campground was higher up on the hill, it took 5 minutes to hike down to the lake with lots of steep steps."
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Check measurements before booking. At Eagle Cave Resort, "For RVs, be sure to select a bigger site than you think you need. Sometimes it's tricky to maneuver your camper so big rigs may want to stay elsewhere," advises Kim L.
Hookup placement: Confirm utility locations match your rig's configuration. "The hook ups are on the wrong side so we had to back in sideways to make it work," notes Kelly W. about an experience at Skillet Creek Campground.
Seasonal considerations: Weather affects campground conditions significantly. "We stayed here for a long weekend. It was really nice campground," mentions Juliana R., though at some locations like Skillet Creek, "the bugs can get unseasonably bad there due to some of the low lying areas with water," according to Josh M.
