Best Campgrounds near Pardeeville, WI

761 Reviews

South-central Wisconsin's Pardeeville area features a variety of established campgrounds within a 30-mile radius, including Indian Trails Campground and Duck Creek Campground directly in Pardeeville, and Pride of America Camping Resort just outside town. These facilities primarily operate from April through October, with most closing by mid-October. The camping landscape ranges from family-oriented RV parks with full hookups to more rustic options near the Wisconsin Dells region. Tent campers, RV enthusiasts, and those seeking cabin accommodations will find suitable options, with several campgrounds offering glamping alternatives for those wanting upgraded comfort.

Most campgrounds in the region require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends and holiday periods. The camping season typically begins in mid-April when temperatures become milder, though some facilities like Sky High Camping Resort remain open year-round. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with T-Mobile users reporting good coverage. Road access to most campgrounds is straightforward with paved approaches, though some sites may present challenges for larger RVs. As one camper noted about a nearby state park: "Nice trails, walking distance from the campground, unlike in some other parks where you have to drive to hike, great terrain to explore." Summer brings mosquitoes, particularly after rainfall, so insect protection is advisable.

Water recreation forms a central attraction for many campgrounds in the region. Mirror Lake State Park, about 25 miles west of Pardeeville, receives high marks from visitors for its paddling opportunities. According to one review: "The lake is beautiful. You can use your own boat or rent for very reasonable prices. There is a beach to swim and trails all over." Devils Lake State Park, slightly farther west, offers what many consider Wisconsin's premier hiking combined with swimming and boating options. Site privacy varies considerably across facilities, with some campgrounds featuring wooded separation between sites while others have more open layouts. Freeway noise affects some locations, particularly those near Interstate 90/94, with reviewers recommending earplugs for light sleepers.

    Buckhorn State Park Campground

    West shore sites

    We usually stay at the east shore sites but tried the west shore this time. The shore was not as level as the east side sites but still sandy and shallow for swimming. We could hear the bar blaring music across the lake until 10 or 11pm . There are more trees now than the website pictures show so there is some privacy between sites. Mosquitos were the worst i have ever experienced. The second we got out of the car they were all over us. We used the heaviest deet possible nonstop.

    Sandstone Ridge Campground — Mirror Lake State Park

    Beautiful lake

    The lake is great for kayaking. Lots of sandstone cliffs. We only did 2 hiking trails but they were well maintained. The site was good. The 202 area has a parking lot for 4 sites and a very short walk to the sites. Fire pit and picnic table were in good shape. The highway noise is loud and some military jets kept flying overhead. The raccoons were brutal. They broke into our crates twice. Smart enough to figure out the clip mechanism. Overall good site but a little noisy.

    Fon du Lac County Waupun Park

    Peaceful wooded camping

    Quiet level throughout. Spots for a couple tents and a camper at each site. Disc golf and a small fishing area. Golf course right next-door so close you could walk to. Most of the sites were in a wooded area, which gives you some privacy. Only downfall for us was distance to the restroom as there’s only one so if you’re in the back of the campground, you gotta walk all the way upfront.

    Waupun Park Campground

    Waupun County Park WI - Campground

    Family friendly campground, playgrounds, pickle ball court, showers, clean bathrooms, fire rings, shared water spigots & power at camp site. There is an outdoor pavilion for groups, firewood for sale at host. Lamp posts light camp road but not overwhelming. Nice shaded sites with mature white oak trees. Enjoyed and recommend if looking for full service campsite.

    Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground

    Pros, cons, and Caution!

    PROS: large private sites with good space between them in a lovely wooded setting. Very nice hiking trails right from campground. Lake & pet swim area.

    CONS: no water, mosquitos. And… major CAUTION for RVs: there is an oak tree near entry with low branches and it took the AC off our friend’s fifth wheel. There is also a low hanging overpass and it took the roofs off TWO fifth wheels while we were staying there. Major damage on roof and internally - the RV had to be totaled and replaced. Terrible signage in park does not indicate height of bridge or warn about the oak tree. Our friends reported that the camp host said the park knows about these hazards but hasn’t taken care of them so she will “remind them” for their task list in November.

    Tower Hill State Park Campground

    Lightning bugs galore

    We were here during a thunderstorm so didn’t have the best experience. Our hill top site had water flowing through and our screen tent had a branch fall on it. But the sites are adequate for tents and the picnic shelter is lovely. The mosquitoes are ferocious, as expected for July in Wisconsin. We enjoyed chasing lightning bugs. The toilets are as expected for an older park.
