Best RV Parks & Resorts near Portage, WI

We stopped here while driving to Michigan. It’s super lush. The water and dump station was super clean. Firewood is available. The lake was not very clear and had a lot of plants growing, but it was still nice to take a dip. Extremely large spaces made the rv parking easy EXCEPT that the electrical receptacle was very far in the back of the camping spot. We had to back all the way in to make the chord reach. I don’t think the RV spots would make very nice places to tent camp.

Also want to add that there was plenty of privacy between the spaces.

Due to the popularity of the park we had to have 2 different sites during our time there - but this was not an issue as they were very close together and moving was a breeze! All sites have a picnic table, fire ring, and flat space for your tent - there are also electrical sites for RV hookups.

There is so much to do at this park! From the crystal clear waters of the lake itself to the hikes along the rock overlooks, you won’t be bored! There are kayaks and canoes and paddle boats to rent at the lake along with a little shop/restaurant that makes the area feel like a mini National Park! Some of the trails connect to the Ice Age Trail that runs throughout WI. Make sure you get to Balanced Rock!

We had such a great time, we’ve already planned a second trip for this summer!

This is a member resort but they do allow the public in.  We went in as Coast to Coast members.  This is an all season resort it does have a ski hill and accommodations for winter.  You can buy a condo resort, Lease a Time Share, buy a camping site ( with a Park Model on it,  Camp in a Motor Home, Trailer or Tent.  You can camp with full hook ups or as they call it the Wilderness Camping, they have some with 110 hook ups.  

Facilities are very nice and clean, Swimming Pool, Club House with a lot of things to do. The sites are nice and big most are either pull through or large back in sites.  They also have an 18 holes golf course, since we don't golf really don't know how it is.

They have some WIFi but it is best at the club house the hotspots worked better.

If you would like to  visit Wisconsin Dells this is a great place as it is not very far from downtown and all the activities.  We spent 2 days exploring the Dells even in rain.  Had a great time.  

If you are in the area I would check it out.

We stayed in later April, so it was a limited experience. But the staff was very friendly and the campground is across from a lake. This is mainly a rv campground and not private or secluded. For a family with a camper, there are full hookups or water and electricity with flat gravel pads. Sites are close together but do have big pine trees for shade. Boats are allowed for easy access at the public boat launch. Really the highlight for this campground is the staff. They have a decent menu at their grill with fried chicken and fish, and will deliver to your site. Everyone was very friendly, and the summer events look fun. There are 2 sets of bathrooms, two playgrounds, and rental for fun bikes for the kids. Does have water and a dump for rvs.

We stayed in site #4 it was nice sized and quiet. We had full hook up, a picnic table & fire pit, our friends camped next to us in #5. The store had supplies, and firewood they deliver it to your site. There are outside showers & regular showers but always love a good outside shower. It was pretty quiet in the campground. 

Close by is the Wisconsin Dells, we did the 2 hour boat tour it was fun. Went to The Village Cafe in Baraboo it's owned by friends of ours who have a place in Florida where we live. Good food & great desserts. We went to the crane foundation that was nice, beautiful birds they are. We went to Devils lake for a day & hiked around the grotto it was beautiful. There is a spot Big Blue herons nest in the tall pines they make a lot of noise. They had babies in their nests. 

Nice campground it was a good find.

Very nice host and clean RV park with water views for shorter rigs.

Some of the people I met here say "it's going downhill" but they said that because the breakfast donuts used to be free and so was the ice cream socials. However if I remember correctly the donuts were $1.50 and the ice cream was $3.50. so far from expensive. There are bicycles for rent but they are broken however I've never seen bicycles for rent at a campground before anyways.

As for the campground. It's fine it has nice level pull through sites with clean water and full hook ups. My campsite was missing a bench but I asked for one and was promptly given one. This is what I would consider a value campground so it's in a different category than like a Jellystone or a high end campground. There's a small beach with some floats that have seen better days but are still working just fine. There's a dunk tank free of charge, a bouncr pillow and trampoline. The staff is top notch with great customer service.

It's a small campground but if you have younger children they will love it plus it's connected to the little amerrika amusement park which makes it so much more worth it.

All in all I would come back if I wanted a value friendly quite campground with things for the kids to do and friendly staff.

For a note there was a burn ban from the city issued to the campground while I was there. It was a bummer but definitely not the campgrounds fault and it didn't effect my review.

There is something for everyone at Devils Lake State Park. It is the largest State Park in Wisconsin and is full of hiking trails, canoeing and kayaking on the lake, and large open spaces for the kids to run and play.

If you forget your canoe, don't worry, you can rent one. Don't feel like cooking, no problem, there is plenty of food at the beach.

The family campground is pretty wide open and more conducive to camper trailers, but there are plenty of spots for tents. The bathrooms and showers are clean, and everything is nearby.

The group campsites are awesome, they are on the edge of the park and in the woods. They are very nice. The group campsites even have a modern shower house. Most State parks put there group campsites in the worst part of the campground and they never have showers. In other parks you are lucky to have a pit toilet. Not at Devils Lake, it is the exact opposite. This is a great place for a boy scout troop or youth group camping trip.

This is my favorite park in Wisconsin.

We love this state park for family camping. The sites for RVs have electrical, but no water. The bathrooms are OK, its what you expect from a state park. But the hiking around the park is amazing. There are tons of trails, and 2 wooden observation towers to climb so you can see all the way to Madison on a clear day! If it's a hot summer day, enjoy the swimming pool or head over to Cave of the Mounds where it's always cool. There's also a biking camp ground right off the Ice Age Trail, which makes it a great stop for an overnight or just a break. You're also close enough to drive to Mt. Horeb if you need more action or beer.

We've always enjoyed this campground because the overnight camping are has fewer sites, and therefore less crowded. It's a nice shaded area with some tight spots. If you are in a tent, some even have gravel pads for a level area that drains well. 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. Our 30 ft. travel trailer fit fine, with some skilled driving. Lots of trees for shade or hammocks, and bigger fields and picnic areas if you need some space to play frisbee.

Blue Mounds State Park is a great campground.  I love the area all the trees.  They have hike in campsites, bike in campsites and regular campsites.  They also have a group area.  If you are in a tent you will have great luck, I would advise in a trailer or Motor Home to inspect you site closely before you say yest to it, or you may be like us and change it 3 times.  Not very many level sites unless you can get up on the tent pad.  At one we thought was fairly level our tires were a good 3 inches off the ground in front.  We finally found one we could live with.  They have limited sites with Electricity so also if you need that look around.

I will have to say that the facilites are really nice and very clean in fact I have never seen a bathroom floor that clean on a weekend.  

Speaking of weekends it does fill up most weekends so you will need to make reservations unless you want to use the hike in sites.

They have a recreation are also in the park that has a beautiful pool.  Picnic areas that are great and towers you can go up to see the Mounds. 

WE have spent 2 times there this summer and will be back next summer.

If you are there there are a few areas to visit.

Mt Horeb the Troll Capital.  It is a small town about 20 miles if that.  Has a Troll theme and you can see the trolls all over the town.  Some good restaurants and one of the weekends we were there was the Art   Tour it is in the entire area and had some great art studios you could visit.

Cave of the Mounds is another place you have to visit.  This is a great cave during the week they give guided tours on the weekend it is self guided but have docents around explaining everything.  Well worth the money and trip.  This is about 5 miles from the Park.

I will say no internet and cell phone was very spotty. It is also one of the darkest areas if you are into the stars, just put something on for Mosquitos. 

All in all a good solid 4, only down side was we were in a Motor Home and the not level sites was not the best.

The sites are very well isolated and shaded, and have a well maintained gravel and packed earth surface. Not great for staking a tent, but doable. Excellent for RVs but some sites are non-electric. There are no other hookups, but there is a dump station. Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table. Many sites have a slight slope. Trail access to both the state park trails and to the Military Ridge Trail which runs nearby.

I stayed two nights in a tent and really struggled to find an ok spot on my site to pitch it, between the slope and the occasional roots and rocks. I managed to get stakes in but only at great effort. It looked like some other sites may have been better suited.

There is a raccoon problem here. They were definitely snooping through my things on the first night. Heard coyotes during the night in the distance.

Overall I'm pretty happy with my stay due to the location in the park, and most of the issues I had would be moot with an RV.

Great, large campground conducive for both tent and trailer/RV camping. Different campsites have different amenities although each spot has a fire pit and picnic table. Only gave it four stars because the bathrooms weren’t open and we had to go off-site to get water. I don’t think they’d warmed up their pumps from the winter yet!

Best campground for the price. Very peaceful and full hookup available with sewer dump near. Ice and wood in property.

Very nice hosts and helpful when we needed wood.
