KOA cabin camping is available at Milton-Madison SE KOA and Lena KOA, both offering the standardized amenities typical of KOA properties.

Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, from basic fire rings to fully equipped kitchens with refrigerators and stovetops. Visitors should check specific cabin listings for cooking equipment, as some provide only minimal utensils while others offer complete setups.

For more extensive grocery needs, the towns of Milton, Edgerton, and Madison offer full-service supermarkets within reasonable driving distance. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for all cabin accommodations, particularly during summer weekends and holidays when availability becomes limited.

LegendUnless you knew of Hickory Hills Campground, you wouldn’t happen across this site by luck or accident. While technically within the small itty bitty town of Edgerton, Hickory Hills is located far enough north and east for one to scratch their head in a bit of abject confusion. Located due east of the major highway of 39/90, as you are barreling north or south in the south-central area of Wisconsin, you would have to exit off State Highway 73, where you see signs for the small hamlet of Albion, from which you’ll head north a smidge, until you catch State Highway 106 east until you run into an intersection with Hillside Road, where you’ll head north for about a few miles until you come across Hickory Hills Campground on your right.
Directions aside, this campground will immediately feel to you as though it is certainly dated as you’ll discover that the buildings and overall infrastructure are a bit dilapidated and definitely in needed of repair. That said, the thickly wooded forest that encircles this campground creates a sense of peace and serenity that are unmatched. Plus, you are so far away from the major highway you likely just got off of, in addition to being so far away from any signs of civilization, you’ll feel completely burrowed away from all the noise, traffic and distractions you were eagerly trying to leave in the first place.
As for the campground itself, this is an update from my previous post, where I wanted to share an update as well as some additional photos. For the most part, despite 2+ years passing since writing my initial review, not much has changed here apart from brand new management, where you’ll still enjoy a smattering of overnight accommodations, whether that’s a cottage, bunk hose, smartly outfitted cabins, substantial number of back-in and pull-through RV slots (complete with the standard electric, water and sewage hook-ups) as well as primitive tent camping spots. Other amenities include: campground store, 172 acre spring-fed lake with its own beachhead, oversized inflatables, mini-golf, shuffleboard, fully-stocked snack bar, swimming pool, rowboat & canoe rentals, athletic field, basketball courts, sand volleyball court, dedicated fishing spots, shower & restroom facilities, horseshoe pits, Gaga pit, playgrounds, space ball, water wars and a massive jumping pillow.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you’re looking to get your fishing on, what’s great about Hickory Hills Campground is that they provide you direct access to Rice Lake, where you’ll catch no shortage of blue gills, small and large mouthed bass, bullheads and crappie; (2) Once you grow tired of conjuring up that next meal from your roto-molded Cordova cooler or onboard RV mini-fridge, I’ll be honest, you might be challenged as you are clear out in the middle of nowhere, but that said, if you don’t mind a short drive, head east where you’ll find Outpost, which sits right on Lake Koshkonong and offers up a stunning log cabin wooden bar offering a sublime selection of local, domestic and import beers on tap, a well-stocked liquor bar and a typical Wisconsin food-shilling restaurant offering up bites like duck bacon wontons, ultimate grilled cheese, where you’ll want to splurge and get it with bacon and tomato, as well as some decently smoked brisket; (3) If you’d like a nice slice of old school Americana while you are in these parts, head on over to Little Amerricka Amusement Park that will keep your kiddos entertained and off the smart phones for at least 2-3 hours as they will enjoy this retro-1950s amusement theme park; and (4) Should you elect to learn a bit of local history, head on over to either Milton House Museum or Stoughton Historical Museum, both of which will make you more educated on the place you happen to be in than most of the folks here.
Happy Camping!
LegendConveniently located next to absolutely nothing just due northwest of Fort Atkinson, you’ll love Pilgrim’s Campground for its successful delivery of (capital letters) P&Q! What I love most about this location is how they keep all the RV campers penned in up against the slight diagonal embankment, which actually provides some pretty phenomenal views of the surrounding areas (if not your next door neighbors) as well as excellent drainage and subsequently separated from the primitive TV campsites. These latter sites are placed just due southwest of the grounds and are pitched perfectly in a tree-lined meadow, encircled by freshly cut corn fields, where you’ll find no shortage of amazing animals coming to graze throughout the day (and night) from deer, raccoons, opossums and endless tag teams of squirrels.
Because there isn’t so much around, be prepared to bring everything with you (save ice and wood, which is sold on-site). While the bathroom / shower facilities are just passable, what you are giving up in terms of creature comforts is more than made up for in the sheer proximity to all of nature. During the warm summer months, there’s a small in-ground pool on-site, which sits right in front of the main office. All of the standard camping surround-sound elements are here from fire rings and picnic tables to water, electrical (50 / 30 / 20 / 15 amp) and sewer hook-ups. In all, there’s about 100 sites here at Pilgrims Campground, with the lion’s share of this pet-friendly property dedicated to overnight and seasonal RV / 5th Wheelers offering both back-in and pull-through sites.
Insider’s Tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you don’t mind some rough hiking, there’s fantastic ‘spazierengehen’ to be had just wandering around the countryside in the bountiful corn and bean fields or head over to nearby Dorothy Carnes County Park for some decent trails to explore; (2) In the event that you don’t like being awaken too early from all of the nearby roosters, then bring some ear plugs; (3) When you grow tired of having to forage through either your on-board RV mini-fridge or bear-proof Cordova roto-molded cooler, then look no further than ‘What’s the Point’ (no, seriously, that's the name of the restaurant!) for traditional Midwestern comfort food like corned beef & cabbage, fried fish, BBQ ribs and prime rib; (4) Should you come bearing watercraft and looking for a decent spot to dip your kayak or canoe at, then check out Rose Lake State Natural Area, which BTW is quite small, but very convenient, or try out much larger Red Cedar Lake or Lake Ripley; and (5) Cell coverage and WiFi is pretty horrific in these parts, so bring a booster or plan to leave civilization behind you.
Happy Camping!
LegendWe visited on July 4th weekend. This campground is very clean and both shower house and vault toilets are as well. Sites are well spaced and each have fire pit/grill and picnic table. Some are electric and map shows them as numbered E sites.
This campground has a nice playground, hiking trails both short and longer and bike trails. It is a bit hilly and there are several mountain bike trails. 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. The cost is $3 for and adult and $2 for child. Near by is Blue Mounds Caves. We did not go, but there is much on the internet about the caves and they are recommended for even young children. Internet signal at the campgrounds was good. We have Verizon and could stream movies. We also have AT &T and could access the net but could not stream. This is one of the nicer WI campgrounds I have visited.
GuideWe came here to enjoy some river tubing! Free shuttle takes you up river for a 3 hour float trip. We reserved one campsite for 2 couples. There was a picnic table, fire pit and electric hookup onsite. Port o potties and spigot nearby and a dumpster for trash. They have non electric camp sites along with RV sites and cabins with everything you could need including kitchen and tv. Seems like a lot of people stay there for the long haul as there are some trailer homes with heavy decoration.
The general store has everything you would need available for purchase and there's a large bar/restaurant attached. We were there the same day of a wedding reception. Free mini golf and swimming pool for campers. Bugs were a bit of an issue but thats expected. The river is clean with a shallow sandy bottom which attracts many parties and fun times. Not exactly the place for a quiet getaway.
TravelerWe wanted to see Devil's Lake State Park however were unable to get a campsite at the park. Called Wheeler's and they had availability. The campground was well maintained and a few minutes from Devil's Lake. Bathrooms were very clean and showers were free. Nice playground for the kids and a small fishing pond. Owners were very friendly and accommodating to our family. Large sites with fire pit and picnic table.
LegendRemember Yogi Bear? Yeah, my kids don't either. Well, for those of us that do, that’s just about how old (and outdated) this place is – and it’s obvious from the wear and tear of this campground, that it is in desperate need of a major refurbishment. From the weathered signs and fading mini golf course to the 70’s era bathroom amenities, you’ll find peeling paint, cracked sidewalks amidst this jungle-like maze chock full of RV’s (many of which look like they’ve enjoyed the cartoon fun so much that they’re digging in for the much anticipated sequels to show up someday soon!).
Apart from the dilapidated conditions of the place, if you’re a parent, have young kids and want some quick, easy and cheap fun for the family, then this isn’t such a bad spot to check out. True to the Yogi Bear campground theme, you’ll find a bunch of kid-friendly activities and distractions, including two really good sized heated in-ground pools, water slides, splash pools, foam parties, aforementioned mini-golf, jumping pillow, fishing, dunk tank, ceramics & craft-making, wagon rides, skate park and all of the various cartoon character meet & greets along with 3 different playgrounds. Of course, each week has a theme and there are particular over-the-top celebrations planned for the more notable holiday weekends (4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc.). Sites come equipped with all of the typical 30 / 50 electrical amp, water and sewage lines, fire rings and you’ll find plenty of campfire pits and picnic tables.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) There’s a super cool, very well-maintained covered bridge that you can access on a long hike just do east of the Yogi Bear campgrounds – so after eating all the camp-side hot dogs and beans for the evening, head for a healthy 3 mile hike to this spot. You’ll be richly rewarded for encountering some real life entertainment in case the cartoons get too much for you; (2) When you get tired of foraging for your next meal out of the depths of your on-board mini-fridge or Cordova roto-molded cooler, then head on over to Stagecoach Inn where they offer up some not so fresh, but still very delectable crab leg and lobster and some great grilled steaks; (3) Should you come towing a canoe or kayak behind you and looking to make a splash, then look no further than Lake Koshkonong, which is simply fantastic and large, where you’ll have no shortage of great deltas and peninsulas to explore; and (4) If you are looking to get on the links and looking for a good place to smash some golf balls, then head on over to Koshkonong Mounds Country Club, which is near this cartoon-infested campground.
Happy Camping!

RangerWe were in Site# B1. We had Full hook- up with a gravel pull-thru. We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site. My jeep though did not fit. The site was easy to level.
Our site was shaded with lots of trees. This was a larger sized lot with our neighbors not too close (but we did choose a premium site with a patio and paid extra to be on the end).
This specific lot comes with a concrete patio The lot comes with a picnic table and fire hole in the ground.

They have a great general store.
The streets are gravel so not great for riding bikes but there are great places to ride bikes outside of campground, especially around Middleton and Madison.

Some fun things to do outside of the campground are the Saturday Farmer’s Market in Madison and multitude of bike trails.
Cabin accommodations near New Glarus, Wisconsin range from rustic to modern units at elevations between 800-1,200 feet in the Driftless Area. This unglaciated region features rolling hills and valleys with temperature swings of 30-40 degrees between day and night in spring and fall camping seasons. Many cabin sites require advance booking 3-6 months ahead for peak summer weekends.
**Hiking opportunities: Explore Blue Mound State Park's network of trails with varying difficulty levels. "Beautiful hiking trails with really unique trails. Awesome mountain hiking options," reports Kristina K. The park also features two wooden observation towers where "you can see all the way to Madison on a clear day!" according to Kim L.
**Water recreation: Wisconsin Riverside Resort offers river activities with equipment included. "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. The resort provides a shuttle service where "they will shuttle you as far up the river as you'd like to go, and you float or paddle back while enjoying all the sand bars along the way."
**Winter options: Rock Cut State Park maintains limited cabin availability during colder months. "We camp here at least 5 times a year... Tons of trails, fishing and even a swimming pond," notes Kevin C. The park's extensive trail system remains accessible for winter hiking when many other campgrounds have closed for the season.
**Privacy options: Cedar Hills Campground offers secluded cabin settings for adults. "Adults only, gated community with firewood, propane and ice! They have RVs for rent also or seasonal sites available!" states James. The campground provides "Park Models furnished for rent" with more isolation than family-oriented properties.
**Evening entertainment: Crazy Horse Campground schedules regular weekend activities. "Cedar Hills Campground has its own Fireworks show on 3 day weekends!" according to James. Another camper mentions that Wisconsin Riverside Resort features "live music and a full bar, this made for a really relaxing atmosphere if you're not up to campfire cooking."
**Swimming facilities: Multiple properties offer water recreation beyond standard cabin amenities. "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," describes Debra M. about Blue Mound State Park Campground. Hickory Hills features "a 172 acre spring-fed lake with its own beachhead, oversized inflatables," according to Stuart K.
**Reservation windows: Most cabin accommodations book quickly during peak season. "You have to book in advance," notes Marc W. about Crazy Horse Campground, which "get very busy on weekends and holidays."
**Variable pricing: Cabin costs fluctuate significantly based on amenities and time of year. "Very expensive, but all amenities are included in daily fee. Most expensive campground I've ever been to," comments Melissa B. about certain properties. Milton-Madison SE KOA offers varying cabin options where "you can rent a golf cart which the kids got a kick out of," says Erin B.
**Off-season limitations: Facilities reduce services during shoulder seasons. "We visited mid-May during the Covid social distancing. All activities were down as expected and was reflected in the price," notes Marc W. about one property. Another camper mentions, "For Memorial Day weekend the pool wasn't open, porta-potties near the lake and lodge were still padlocked/closed."
**Activity planning: Schedule around programmed weekend events. "Every weekend there are activities planned from wine tasting to Halloween trick or treating," notes Margo S. about Hickory Hills Campground. Their family-focused programming includes "a jumping pad mini golf basketball hoops and water launchers."
**Pool access consideration: Check age restrictions and schedules. "The pool was great (from 3-4 it's adult swim, so the kids had to get out)," shares Chris H. This timing constraint affects planning for families with children.
**Cave exploration: Visit nearby natural attractions accessible to children. "The caves are incredibly well maintained and organized with fun themed tours. Our theme was Halloween so we could purchase 'Trick or Treat' bags and collected cool rocks in the caves handed out by employees along the tour," explains Kaylyn C.
**Site selection: Choose based on rig size and hookup needs. "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. about Blue Mound State Park Campground.
**Electrical challenges: Verify power compatibility before setup. "We have a 30 amp trailer. When we got there, the electricity wasn't working... We had to rent a motel for the night because we couldn't even pull out the slide or anything," shares Rebecca C. about one park. Older facilities may have unreliable electrical systems that cannot support modern RV demands.
**Alternative lodging: Tent sites provide budget options near cabins. "The tent sites are further away from the action, but have easy access to another bathroom and shower. They're also close to the river, and back up to a large corn field. There's a row of pine trees for easy hammock set up," describes Kim L. about camping alternatives at Wisconsin Riverside Resort.
