    Several established campgrounds surround Oregon, Wisconsin, providing varied camping experiences within a 20-mile radius. Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground offers year-round camping with tent, RV, and glamping options just 6 miles northeast of Oregon. William G. Lunney Lake Farm Campground in Madison provides electric hookups and accommodates both tent and RV camping. The New Glarus State Park Campground, located 12 miles southwest, features drive-in sites with full hookups. Most campgrounds in the region include basic amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, and access to drinking water, while larger facilities provide showers, toilets, and sanitary dump stations.

    Reservations are recommended for most campgrounds, particularly during summer weekends when occupancy rates peak. The camping season generally runs year-round at Lake Kegonsa and William G. Lunney Lake Farm campgrounds, while others like Badgerland Campground operate seasonally from April to October. Winter camping is available at select locations, though with limited amenities. Most campgrounds in the area maintain moderate pricing, with developed sites ranging from $18-38 per night, often with additional reservation fees. "The campground is basically a mowed park field with some mature trees around it. No privacy from neighbors and the campground is on the roadside of the park instead of the lake side of the park. Because of its location, you are going to hear road noise," notes one camper about Mendota County Park.

    Proximity to water features prominently in camping experiences throughout the region. Several campgrounds offer access to lakes, including Lake Kegonsa and Lake Mendota, providing opportunities for fishing, swimming, and boating. Campers report that sites with water views tend to fill quickly. Road noise affects multiple campgrounds in the area, particularly those near highways. A reviewer of New Glarus State Park noted: "The downside to the walk-in sites is their proximity to a major highway. While walking through the campground I could easily hear the road noise." Many campgrounds feature a mix of open and wooded sites, with varying levels of privacy between neighbors. For those seeking more seclusion, several parks offer walk-in tent sites that provide additional privacy despite being farther from parking areas.

      Whitewater Lake Campground & Hickory Woods Group Camp — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Southern Unit

      Nice Campsites

      For a primitive campground, this was a nice-enough experience.

      Pros: 

      - The sites we stayed in and the others that we noticed seemed sizeable and had nice tree-cover

      - Having access to the Ice Age Trail was really neat

      - Lake access nearby

      Cons:

      - On the continuum of vault toilet quality, these were on the less-desirable end.  We joked about whether it was scarier to visit them when they were dark or when the lights were on.  If you love having fly friends keep you company when nature calls, then these are the bathrooms for you!  The bathrooms did get cleaned on Sunday morning, but this didn't help the situation very much.

      - No showers

      Milton-Madison SE KOA

      Notable bad news

      ⭐ 1/5— Not a Family-Friendly Experience We have traveled by motorhome for many years and stayed at numerous KOA campgrounds. For many years ! Sadly, this is the first negative review we have ever written. Milton KOA is beautiful and clean, although the sites are somewhat crowded. Most staff members were polite and helpful. Unfortunately, the conduct of one employee was completely unacceptable. Our group included six families with children ages 3–18. This employee used profanity, including the“F-word,” toward the children and behaved in a verbally abusive and threatening manner. When one mother calmly tried to address the situation, the employee moved toward her aggressively, causing her to fear she might be struck, and shouted,“I’m sick and tired of this.” At approximately 9:45 p.m., the 18-year-olds in our group were ordered back to their campsite, even though they were simply walking around and were not being loud or disruptive. Adults were allowed to drink in the pool area, while our children were treated with hostility and disrespect just for being there. No food no drinks.No child or parent should experience profanity, intimidation, or threatening behavior from a campground employee. The campground may be enjoyable for adults traveling without children. However, based on what our six families experienced, we cannot recommend Milton KOA to families with children. We are submitting a formal complaint to KOA Corporate and requesting a thorough investigation. Also, wasp infestation beware if you have allergies .

      White Mound County Campground

      Off the beaten path

      Very nice grounds with gorgeous tree covered sites, electric hookup on most of them. They have toilet facilities on each end of the grounds. They have shower facilities with potable water fill station next to the showers and water fountains in several locations. For those with kids they have a very nice playground area.

      New Glarus State Park Campground

      Convenient to New Glarus

      This is a small campground. Sites are a little overgrown and not very level. No hook ups. No dump station, but quiet and a good overnight stop

      Astico County Park

      Great location, a little noisy. Overall good place

      We camped on Site 9, which is at the front of the park near the entrance. The site was mostly level, with electric only hookups. If I had been here before I would have chosen a site tucked back farther to avoid some of the highway noise, but overall it was a good experience. We hiked a mile or two through the park, the bathhouse we used while on a walk was well supplied and clean with bathroom and shower combined, all unisex. We would stay here again if in the area.

      Cliffwood Campground — Mirror Lake State Park

      Beware of extra fees

      The RV campsite for out of state guests was listed for $58. However when entering the park we were charged an additional $16.

      Potable water is at the front of the campground. Ice is not sold on site.

    Water recreation: Many campgrounds offer swimming options. At Hickory Hills, one camper appreciated that they have "a sparkling clean (but cold!) pool and a lake with a beach! DJs and bands and build your own donut and sundaes."

    What you should know

    Tips from RVers

    Navigating tight spaces: Some parks have challenging access. A Blue Mound State Park visitor advised, "For RVs, be sure to select a bigger site than you think you need. Sometime's it's tricky to maneuver your camper so big rigs may want to stay elsewhere."
