"There is something for everyone at Devils Lake State Park."
"The new warden situation is interesting. Things have gotten a lot more strict in some areas (ex."
"Much to do at Devil's Lake and surrounding area. features multiple campgrounds and multiple areas for swimming. A beach at the North and South of the lake."
"It is up and away from the rest of the park a bit and typically almost every site has full shade. This is important in the summer months."
"Views like these are hard to beat in Wisconsin, or anywhere really. The cliffs on the side of the lake are phenomenal."
"Aside from some of the windy paths, this place is really nice and peaceful to stay. You can go to Devils Lake and kayak or canoe and swim. Overall a beautiful place in Wisconsin!"
"I have been camping at Indian Trails for almost 30 years, since I was a lil tike!"
"Camp surrounds a lake which you can find activities galore on one side of the camp and peace and quiet on the other side with plenty of campsites near the water."
$45 - $110 / night
"Duck Creek, for my money, is the best place in SE Wisconsin. Staff is friendly, sites are big, food is awesome, and when it’s time for quiet, it’s quiet."
"we are actually having a blast at this Campground campsites are located right next to the playground so we can watch the kids from the campsite"
"My family and I stayed at this Wisconsin Dells KOA location for two nights (site 61) as the first stop on a 3+ week trip, and it fully met our expectations"
"We stayed at KOA in Wisconsin dells, which was about a mile away from everything. We called to RSVP. Which was a breeze."
"The lake, when we went in late August/Early September had a lot of algae on it and wasn't really good to swim, but they do have boat rentals and fishing. It is generally a beautiful lake."
"Mirror lake is quickly becoming one of our favorite campgrounds in Wisconsin. The sites are decent size and spaced for privacy. Some loops have group sites where you book 2 sites that are connected."
$15 / night
"Echo Rock trail is a great hike around rock formation. I was disappointed when I realized how far away the shower/toilets are away from ever loop in the campground."
"Campsite was great, the only downside was its proximity to the freeway, meaning that you could hear traffic at almost all times."
"A huge water fight between the whole campground and they even drive a fire truck through."
"We go as a group usually around the 4th of July every year. Their activities are great, the poker run, and candy bingo are great!"
ScoutLegion Park has 10 electric sites located in a pretty city park. Discount if you don't want electric. 2 of the sites are shaded by huge white pines and the others are in an open field. The park is clean and well maintained. It has a public swimming pool open from 1 until 6 and playground equipment. Showers can be taken at the pool when open, firewood and wifi are included, toilets are potapottis and were very clean. The park is away from traffic noise and was quiet when we stayed in August. Call the town office for reservations and availability.
RangerIndoor pool great for kids. Bath house was a bit dated but okay. Coin operated showers, 25 cent for several minutes. Pay attention to reservation online or call….they have multiple types of sites. We accidentally got one without sewer, but they have dump tank on property so no issue. They have fire pits on the sites as well as picnic tables. Nice trails within different areas of campground.
TravelerClean facilities, friendly staff, and great trails. No bugs!
GuidePorta potty near our original site was full and there for closed. So we picked a different site near the bathhouse.
The bathhouse was clean at night but not in the morning. No tokens needs for the shower. Several retro games plus billiards in the game room. Quarter operated.
Someone’s RV was giving off an awful stench. LOTS of puddles when it rained so maybe better drainage?
GuideCampsites are small. If you are looking for FHU sites are level enough. But, if you are needing just water and electric you should look elsewhere. Sites are very unlevel. There was a 3 feet drop off at my site just outside my camper making sitting under the awning impossible. Staff was friendly.
GuideLove this campground! Great facilities and a dumping station. No hookups but the area cannot be beat. This is our favorite boondock spot. The lake is perfect for paddling and the trails are amazing.
ScoutGreat clean campground! Super small super nice! Like camping in town.
ScoutThis state park is very nice, decent trails clearly marked and the walking paths around the sites are pretty clear. Overall the noise from other sites was minimal and I liked the layout of the campground.
The bad- the sites labeled for highway noise should be closed. It was an absolutely awful experience. I was walking through all of the campground when we first got in and as we approached our site the noise was so distracting and completely ruined the peaceful experience that most state parks offer. It was a serious bummer when night construction started on the highway on Sunday night as well. Our neighbors stayed well beyond the checkout time and the camp host did nothing to get them to leave, why even be present if you’re not gunna do anything? It wouldn’t have been a big deal if they weren’t randomly shooting a bow and arrow into the trees behind their site and then proceeded to record TikTok’s with endless repetition of those songs. Not the parks fault other than the host should at least clear the sites with the new checkout times.
If you’re going to this park avoid the highway spots at all costs!
