Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground welcomes pets at all campsites while maintaining clean facilities and spacious grounds. Located near Stoughton, this park offers electric hookups, picnic tables, fire rings, and showers with a variety of accommodation types including tent camping, RV sites, and glamping options. William G. Lunney Lake Farm Campground provides another pet-friendly option with electric sites and easy access to extensive paved biking and hiking trails. Campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash requirements, typically six feet or less, and most have designated pet waste disposal stations. The expansive bike paths connected to Lake Farm County Park allow for miles of pet-friendly exploration with access extending into downtown Madison. Sites at both locations remain quite close together with limited privacy between neighbors.
Multiple trail systems surrounding these pet-friendly campgrounds provide excellent opportunities for dog walking and exploration. The Capital City Trail connects directly to Lake Farm Campground, allowing campers with pets to bike or walk nearly 5 miles into downtown Madison. Token Creek County Park offers another pet-friendly camping option with shaded sites and access to nearby walking paths. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours to minimize barking disturbances, though road noise affects some locations more than others. The bathroom facilities at these parks remain clean and well-maintained, with some offering convenient dishwashing stations. Summer algae blooms occasionally affect lake access at Lake Kegonsa, requiring pet owners to monitor water conditions before allowing dogs to swim. Numerous fishing opportunities exist throughout the area for campers who enjoy bringing their dogs along while fishing.

$20. 2 day stay limit. Bathroom/shower/trash can/fire pit/pavilion. It’s not really a campground though. Stopped here in November passing through. Called to ask if it was a campground, they told me it was free since it’s out of Wisconsin Camping season, so that was nice of them.

Really enjoyed this park. Beautiful river, bluffs, and hilly country. Only downside to this specific campsite is the road is very close. I also had a blast exploring and fly fishing.

All sites are separated not on top of each other. We’ve been here quite a few times during cooler months and have been very happy with our experience.

LegendPrairie View Campground - Rock Cut State Park
Nice Shaded Camping Alcove With Plenty of P&Q
Prairie View CG is the very first camping oasis you will come across after entering Rock Cut SP from its northernmost entrance, with Highway 173 to the west and Harlem Road to the east. Once you enter the park, you will follow the long winding nicely paved two-lane circuit until you begin seeing the signs highlighting where to go for the various campgrounds. Once you access this road, you’ll come across a small building with a ranger where you will check in, after which, you will pass by a designated dump station before coming around a small bend where you will take your first left.
The sites begin with #500 and as you circumnavigate the simple circular loop, you will pass by about 2 dozen or so slots that are nice flat paved slots perfect sized for just about any RV or 5th Wheel. There is a single his / her restroom along with trash area at the beginning of the loop just past sites #503 and #504. To access the shower, you will need to go back to the main road and hike it down the road with your towel and toiletries, which I have to admit, is the biggest bummer about this particular campground. If having close access to shower facilities is important to you, then you may want to contemplate staying at other campgrounds here at Rock Cut SP like Staghorn and White Oak, which offer closer proximity.
One of the greatest assets here at Rock Cut SP is the very massive Pierce Lake, which is great for fishing, boating, kayaking and swimming. To launch your watercraft, you’ll head south to Hickory Hills campground where on the eastern side of this area you’ll be able to find the boat launch. In the Prairie View campground, in addition to restroom and waste disposal, you’ll also have access to running water spigots at each site along with running electric. The small community amphitheather is located centrally just past the campstore and before reaching the Hickory Hills campground. There is an excellent camp store in the middle of Rock Cut SP that offers up ice, firewood, ice cream, snacks, games, limited groceries and a number of other sundries you might need while camping. Additionally, there are 5 shelters that have electricity, with water and restrooms nearby and each shelter available through a reservation system. Two of the shelters (Red Oak and Puri Crest) also have children’s playgrounds nearby.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) IMHO the best sites here at Prairie View CG are those that are located furthest from the main road, for attaining the maximum camping bliss trifecta of less traffic, little noise and more privacy. As such, look at sites #512, #514, #516 and #518, which are all located on the exterior of the circle, thus providing the greatest amount of intimate nature experience; (2) Once you grow weary of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your cooler, fret not, and just head out of the park where you will find a handful of dining options: Tom& Jerry’s, Fresh Start Café, Waffle Shop, Golden Chopsticks Buffet, Sunrise Family Restaurant, Beef-A-Roo (in fact, there’s like 4 of these that the park is surrounded by), but one of my absolute favorites is Green Fire, which is a really nice farm-to-table joint; (3) Got bird watching on your mind? Well, you’re in luck, because here at Rock Cut SP you can spot an amazing array of winged adventurers including bald eagles, American robins, northern cardinals, barn owls, mourning doves, indigo buntings, eastern bluebirds, Canadian geese, red-bellied woodpeckers, brown thrashers and many others; (4) Tired of nature and just want to get some really cool culture in you? Then head just due south of Rock Cut SP to explore Frank Lloyd Wright’s Laurent House, which is simply amazing; and (5) If you come bearing watercraft like canoe or kayak, while Lake Pierce is wonderful and great for fishing, if you want something a bit more challenging, then head due west to the Rock River, where you can drop in from a number of launch sites, however I strongly recommend Atwood Homestead Forest Preserve.
Happy Camping!

It’s a great place to stay they have lots of activities for the kids, it helps that they are year around and their prices aren’t bad.

Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground
This campground charges both a site reservation fee ($33 for a primitive mosquito infested tent site) AND an additional day use fee on top of that - a $16 fee on top of that! $49????? For a no hook up single tent site???? Of course the fees aren’t actually published anywhere so you have to reserve it to actually know what you’ll be paying. It’s nothing special so these fees aren’t actually warranted for this place. 👎

New Glarus State Park Campground
Smaller campground with decent sized campsites with picnic table and fire ring pit. Although my site and quite a bit of unleveled ground which made for limit options to pitch a tent. Pretty good cell service with T- mobile.

A camper shares, "There are a lot of trails for hiking and mountain biking. A swimming pool and picnic area," mentioning the recreational options at Blue Mound State Park Campground.
Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds offer swimming facilities to cool off during summer months. "This campground has a nice playground, hiking trails both short and longer and bike trails.

What campers like
Privacy between sites: New Glarus State Park Campground offers secluded sites for those seeking more private camping experiences. "The walk-in sites have a good amount of space between each site, however the sites on the east side of the bike trail get less level the further you get from the parking lot," explains Sarah W. about New Glarus State Park Campground.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities are consistently mentioned in reviews. "The showers provided plenty of hot water," notes a recent visitor to Token Creek County Park, while another mentions, "Very clean bathrooms, great showers if you need them" at Badgerland Campground.

What you should know
Road noise considerations: Several campgrounds experience traffic noise due to proximity to highways. "This campground is small, which is what drew us to visit. About half the sites are walk-in, which made us believe they would be quiet and secluded. These sites are right next to the highway and are subject to continuous, round the clock highway noise," warns Katie K. about New Glarus State Park.
