  Buckhorn State Park

  Quiet in the fall

  I went in 2 weekdays in early October and it was very quiet and calm. Nice facilities and campsites.

  Buckhorn State Park

  Watch out for Pontoon Pirates with Dad Bods

  Site 29 is lovely - it's situated directly on the shoreline with a tiny slice of beach. The weather was excellent and with enough wind to quell the bugs. There was an eagle fishing in the bay with us. Plenty of hiking, canoeing, and kayaking opportunities inside the park, too.

  There is a bar and grill across the river with a live cover band on Friday night that could be heard loud and clear. Their setlist was pretty much identical to the 'Songs that Excite the White Folks' playlist on Spotify. We didn't mind it - it was amusing. They respectfully ended their set at 10pm sharp, so no big deal.

  Only one of the showers had warm water in the nearby bathhouse, but we were grateful for it. There is nice, dry wood for fires and ice situated at the entrance to the park. There is also a cute little general store just outside of the park that is well-stocked with necessities. It's next to a food truck with a chef who proudly shared that he's from Chicago and serves up homemade gyros off the spit. 100% I'm getting one next time I'm in the area.

  Our last day was kind of rough, though. A pontoon full of belligerent, drunken strangers blasting modern armpit country music pulled up to our site, parked their boat, got out, and made themselves at home in our campsite and proceeded to have a party. They blocked our entire beach access with their big fat pontoon so we couldn't use it at all. They got especially shrill when I suggested they park on an equally nice and secluded beach a mere 100 ft to the north that wasn't someone's campsite. They said too bad, they do it every weekend and that they're on public property. I'm pretty sure that's not how campsites work and what they were doing is trespassing, but I digress. Anyhow, one of the men started shouting some weird, irrelevant, cultish political nonsense that was probably intended to be offensive (while his unfortunate teenage son looked like he was about to keel over from cringe wishing his dad would keep his embarrassing opinions to himself). The irony of their 'don't tread on me' slogan was lost on them - they should just have a Jolly Roger mounted on their pontoon.

  It's obnoxious that these folks make a habit of colonizing occupied sites instead of reserving them like everyone else, but for us, this was an isolated incident. Everyone else we encountered on the trip was delightful and gracious.

  Anyhow, we decided to pack up a few hours early and head to Wisconsin Dells instead and we had a blast there, too.

  Blue Mound State Park Campground

  Great for families

  Lots of playgrounds for kids age 2-10. Pit toilets smell- I’d avoid sites around them. Hot Showers by lot 30 and at pool. Pool is not heated as stated- definitely not 80 degrees. West tower is the best for sunsets. Site 75 was nice as it was a bit back from the road and you can’t see your neighbors.

  Wisconsin Dells KOA

  TIGHT, bad customer service!

  We actually stayed in a deluxe cabin at this campground, while our friends were in a camper. The deluxe cabins were $300 a night, very poor air circulation and constantly felt wet. Toilets were impossible to flush and were backing up every time a shower was taken.  

  Our friends have a 40' camper and could barely fit in the space provided. There was no space to hang out as their camper took up the entire space. If we wanted to start a fire, we couldn't because their fire pit (more like a rusted out ring) was directly under a tree.

  Customer service was horrible - manager basically told us it wasn't their problem and wouldn't help the situation. We will not return.

  Madison Campground

  Cute campground - near Madison

  We 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 community Outdoor kitchen-y area with picnic tables.
  They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.

  You are allowed to ride personal golf carts. There is really not a need to have a Golf cart because it is a smaller campground.

  They do have a Swimming pool.
  There is a Playground. They also offer horseshoes and a volleyball court.

  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.

  They have cabins for rent and tent areas.

  They have one shower house. The shower house has the typical stalls. These are kept mostly clean.

  There is a laundry facility. It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine.

  They have a fenced in dog park and many grassy areas to walk dogs.

  There were no trails to hike in the campground.

  Some fun things to do outside of the campground are the Saturday Farmer’s Market in Madison and multitude of bike trails.

  Bring ear plugs

  The campground is really nice. The facilities are excellent. However it's really close to the interstate and the road noise is awful.

  Madison Campground

  Basic

  While the location is great for fast travels into Madison, or getting to great hiking areas. My only complaint is that not every pull through is provided with a fire ring to burn wood (they almost seem random) and that the check in building is a bit bare. Otherwise, great location, great (partial) amenities, and good customer service.

  Fox Hill RV Park & Campground

  Stopped for one night but will come back again

  We rented a pull thru site for the evening since we came into the Dells for a wedding. The campground offered a variety of activities for kids which was something that would draw us back to the campground again. The sites for RVs are spaced nicely so you don’t feel like you’re right on top of another RV. Good sized sites too. Grounds appeared well taken care of. Staff was very friendly upon arrival. Will definitely come back again. Only draw back is the price, but everything is pricey in the Dells. WiFi is spotty and Verzion cell service isn’t “good” as stated.

  Madison Campground

  Okay if other campgrounds are full or for just 1 night

  Easy to get to from I-90 but also a bit too close so there is road noise. The price may be a little high at $66.00 per night but the sites are all drive through and can handle large rigs. Not bad for a quick one-night stay. Many available sites even on memorial weekend 2024

  Skillet Creek Campground

  Awesome pond! New for 2023

  The swimming pond opened in 2023! Very nice with sandy beach! Jumping pillow, catch and release pond(needs landscaping work) Playground. You will not get any tv reception, there is no WIFi. The game room and laundry is upstairs in the barn. They should not have laundry facilities"upstairs" Maybe this will change with new owners/improvements. They need to add a playground near the pond as well. It's quite a distance from some sites. Black top roads would also be nice for children riding bikes and people like me using a walker to get around. We camped at Skillet Creek Campground in a Travel Trailer.

  Fox Hill RV Park & Campground

  Not Teen Family Friendly

  I would love to say we'd recommend Fox Hill as we've been here for family reunions for the last 4 years (after my husband growing up coming here). But after experiencing "the owner's mom" yelling at my teen playing at the playground, l'll have to pass and suggest a new family reunion location.

  For what it's worth: I was standing chatting with family as my son was on the seesaw. If she disliked him playing on it, there's an appropriate way to speak to: a. Children (who are worthy of respect) b. Customers. Screaming at them and aggressively speaking to the parents is a bad way to run a business.

  I was more than willing to overlook the increased prices year over year, the less than great bathrooms, + smoking at the new arcade (which is open randomly at best)..but absolutely unwilling to overlook the way people are treated. Hopefully a discussion is had moving forward so other teens feel welcome to be outside + play amongst their far younger cousins.
