1. Buckhorn State Park
26 Reviews•90 Photos•140 SavesWater Enthusiasts, hunters, hikers, and anyone who enjoys the outdoors will find solace in Buckhorn State Park. Situated within the heart of Southern Wisconsin, this park and an adjacent wildlife reserve showcases over 9,000 acres of unspoiled midwestern wilderness. At the end of the Wisconsin and Yellow Rivers, this park is famous for the large man-made reservoir it occupies. The intensity of nature here is staggering. The park prominently exhibits dense, green wetland forests, exposed prairies, and sand-swept dunes. The sandy landscape found in certain areas are the result of glacial erosion and sand deposits left after the last global Ice Age. Westward expansion caused massive amounts of damage to the surrounding region. Before European settlers came, the region housed over 4.1 million acres of barren pine and oak forests. Today, less than 10,000 acres remain standing; a stark contrast to the once thriving wonderland. Thankfully much of this acreage is now protected, and serves as a hugely popular area for tourists and visitors to recreate year-round. The park is most famously known for its large wetland flowage, owing to the poor soil conditions of the region. Subsequently, kayakers and small-craft boaters visit to spot flora and fauna not found anywhere else in the state. The flowage fills just enough every year to accommodate and protect a number of endangered species, including the Karner Blue Butterfly, and the state-threatened Osprey. Aside from bird watching and unparalleled views of wetland nature, the park also offers up a 300 foot sand beach complete with volleyball nets, picnic shelters, horseshoe pits, and recreation areas perfect to recreate under the sun. Outside of the beach, fishing is one of the most popular attractions, as the slough houses delicious Bluegill, Salmon, and Wisconsin Trout. Camping in Buckhorn State park is similar to many other state parks. There’s a handful of rustic sites facing west that line the length of the wetland overflow. This is perfect for catching multicolored sunsets that pain nearby water surfaces hues of pink, orange, red, and purple. On the opposite eastern end of the park lies campsites perfect for catching the sunrise, if you’d prefer. There is also a cabin available for reserve, and various bird-blinds for use placed strategically throughout the park. You’ll need a vehicle admission sticker to end, and all Wisconsin Camping and Fishing fees apply.

Quiet in the fall
I went in 2 weekdays in early October and it was very quiet and calm. Nice facilities and campsites.

Great place to camp
This was quiet and peaceful. When we needed our fire pit cleaned out theg came pretty quickly. Being able to watch the horses was very calming. We would recomend this place to others and we would go back.

Watch out for Pontoon Pirates with Dad Bods
Site 29 is lovely - it's situated directly on the shoreline with a tiny slice of beach. The weather was excellent and with enough wind to quell the bugs. There was an eagle fishing in the bay with us. Plenty of hiking, canoeing, and kayaking opportunities inside the park, too.
There is a bar and grill across the river with a live cover band on Friday night that could be heard loud and clear. Their setlist was pretty much identical to the 'Songs that Excite the White Folks' playlist on Spotify. We didn't mind it - it was amusing. They respectfully ended their set at 10pm sharp, so no big deal.
Only one of the showers had warm water in the nearby bathhouse, but we were grateful for it. There is nice, dry wood for fires and ice situated at the entrance to the park. There is also a cute little general store just outside of the park that is well-stocked with necessities. It's next to a food truck with a chef who proudly shared that he's from Chicago and serves up homemade gyros off the spit. 100% I'm getting one next time I'm in the area.
Our last day was kind of rough, though. A pontoon full of belligerent, drunken strangers blasting modern armpit country music pulled up to our site, parked their boat, got out, and made themselves at home in our campsite and proceeded to have a party. They blocked our entire beach access with their big fat pontoon so we couldn't use it at all. They got especially shrill when I suggested they park on an equally nice and secluded beach a mere 100 ft to the north that wasn't someone's campsite. They said too bad, they do it every weekend and that they're on public property. I'm pretty sure that's not how campsites work and what they were doing is trespassing, but I digress. Anyhow, one of the men started shouting some weird, irrelevant, cultish political nonsense that was probably intended to be offensive (while his unfortunate teenage son looked like he was about to keel over from cringe wishing his dad would keep his embarrassing opinions to himself). The irony of their 'don't tread on me' slogan was lost on them - they should just have a Jolly Roger mounted on their pontoon.
It's obnoxious that these folks make a habit of colonizing occupied sites instead of reserving them like everyone else, but for us, this was an isolated incident. Everyone else we encountered on the trip was delightful and gracious.
Anyhow, we decided to pack up a few hours early and head to Wisconsin Dells instead and we had a blast there, too.

Cute small campground
Small campground but it's nice and has a pool and playground plus a lake.

Awesome campground
We return yearly for trick or treat weekend. We also camp during the summer as well! Had my kids double birthday party here and it was fun! I'm so glad the campground allows visitors. I hate campgrounds that are strict on that! Keeps us coming back! Lots of room for kids to bike and play while the parents enjoy the campground! This year we will be here 3x!

Great Campground !
We loved the amenities, sites, and staff. Everything was great. Even seasonal sites were well kept. We will definitely be back

Wisconsin Dells KOA
TIGHT, bad customer service!
We actually stayed in a deluxe cabin at this campground, while our friends were in a camper. The deluxe cabins were $300 a night, very poor air circulation and constantly felt wet. Toilets were impossible to flush and were backing up every time a shower was taken.
Our friends have a 40' camper and could barely fit in the space provided. There was no space to hang out as their camper took up the entire space. If we wanted to start a fire, we couldn't because their fire pit (more like a rusted out ring) was directly under a tree.
Customer service was horrible - manager basically told us it wasn't their problem and wouldn't help the situation. We will not return.

Tight
Tight spots and narrow roads but convenient location. We had a 42 ft 5th wheel and with the help of an employee we were lucky to fit.

Really really nice, expensive
We were just there. It’s amazing. Great Lake floats to play on. Nice bar. Tons of carts to rent. Big pull through sites. Full hookup. Bar at the beach. Serves great food.

Nice quick night
We stayed one night on our way through Wisconsin. The campground was very neat and tidy. The folks that ran it were very nice and friendly. We checked in after 7 and they sent us check in instructions (but they ended up being there to check us in anyway). They have a nice playground, pool and jump pad! Great experience.

Buckhorn State Park
Beautiful site, heavy mosquito activity
We camped on site 22. It was an easy walk from the parking lot to the site with the help of the provided carts. It was peaceful and lovely! It seemed like a good spot for kayaks and canoes given the lake access; it appeared shallow and sandy at this site. The porta-potty was clean and located in the parking lot. There was a basic fire ring with grill grate and a picnic table. Fish were jumping frequently. We were able to set up our screen house and tent with plenty of room to spare. The only reason I gave this 4/5 stars is because the mosquitoes!!! I know, it's nature in all it's glory but we couldn't leave our tents until sun went down so it was a bummer. We will revisit earlier in the spring in hopes of avoiding the bugs.
Janet B.GuideBuckhorn State Park
Pretty good one for the weekend
Snagged a spot (#102) right before the Memorial Day weekend. Spacious site, somewhat private because of the surrounding trees. If you want to be surrounded by hammock-able trees, i suggest sites 94-99. Our site was both close to vaulted toilets/water and shower building, which was a plus. Shower head pressure was lovely and hot water was great! One downside was that people were loud and playing music till midnight but oh wells.
Was worried about bugs but I think it was okay. Maybe we were there before it began. i did find some ticks on my camping chair though so beware.
Though we didnt explore much of the Buckhorn SP, we chose this site because it was under an hour drive from Mirror Lake SP and Devils Lake SP. Making a day trip to those parks and Wisconsin Dells was a breeze.

Holiday Shores Campground
Wonderful experience
Best base camp for any trip to the Dells.
On-site laundry, pools, golf carts, boats, and that floating obstacle course... There are so many more ameneties available that we didn't have time to experience them all. All our needs were met, and our stay was plesant. The staff here was just so so very kind and accomodating... We definitely plan a return to Holiday Shores.

ATV/UTV Friendly!
Awesome campground, big sites with grass and trees, and right next to trail system. Bar at the campground has an air-fryer for light food/pizzas and fun atmosphere. We love it here and frequently visit!

Good for an overnight stay
Had a decent site, close to other sites, but the park was pretty empty. They were getting ready to close for the winter.
Bathrooms are clean and big. They were far from our site, but it wasn't bad.
There was dog feces near our picnic table and some cigaret butts.
Nothing fancy, but a good place to stay on our way to MN.
No change machine for the laundry, but when the store is open, you can purchase a $10 bag of quarters!

This place is great for fall colors!
We stayed here for 1 week and enjoyed the fall colors. The showers were clean and nice. Laundry was less expensive than most laundromats we’ve used this year. Everything worked great. We also enjoyed the trails around, but had to pick a ton of ticks off our dogs! ** Edit after leaving: make sure to use a water filter outside your camper. The water left an orange residue in our dog bowls, sinks and pipes.

Very nice campground!
We stayed here over Memorial weekend, we had a nice site with grass and trees. They had a parade of first reponders, firefighters, emt's and etc come through the campground on Saturday, golf cart parade sunday, fun things for the children and they have an amazing pond. We didn't use it but they have a LOT of inflatables all surrounded by a sandy beach!
Renee R.GuideBuckhorn State Park
Little Bit Better Than Average
This park has a lot to offer.
Pros:
- Most of the sites were relatively large. We had 3 tents and 2 cars on our site and it wasn't a problem.
- The lake/beach access is a nice bonus.
- Newer shower house and bathrooms, as well as vault toilets
- Decent trails.
- No apparent highway noise.
Cons:
- Despite the large campsites, it felt very "car campery" to me. The sites I observed didn't have much in the way of tree canopy, so it feels very open.
- Lots of campground noise and not secluded.
So, despite Buckhorn being well-appointed, it just wasn't really the campground for me. I prefer a more rustic and woodsy atmosphere and this was not it. I think it is likely better suited for campers/trailers than tents.

Can’t beat the location
Staff were super helpful. Easy to get in and out. A variety of amenities. All a bit weathered but I’m fine working order. Kids played on the playground and jump pad. We bought discounted tickets on-site for Noah’s Ark. we walked the 20 min walk. It was easy and nice. Pool is big and both times we used it we had it almost to ourselves. Showers were very nice. I did two loads of laundry. Nice and quiet at night. Met lots of the other guests. Friendly group

Wisconsin Dells KOA
Quiet, peaceful, and clean.
The campground is well-kept, and the restrooms are clean. Some bath houses have full baths with toilets, sinks, and showers. Other bathhouses has restrooms separated from showers. The campground is kid friendly, with a playground and a pool. I am tenting. The sites are a reasonable size that you can park on. They are mostly flat, but not all of them. All the tent sites are shaded, have electricity, and access to shared water. There are dishwashing stations around the campground as well. If you have an RV, the sites look relatively easy to get into, with many pull throughs
