Mirror Lake State Park features multiple pet-friendly campgrounds near Reedsburg, Wisconsin. Bluewater Bay, Cliffwood, and Sandstone Ridge campgrounds all welcome pets with adequate leash control. Devils Lake State Park's camping areas—Quartzite, Ice Age, and Northern Lights—also permit pets throughout their facilities. Wisconsin Dells KOA accommodates pets in their tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, and yurts, providing diverse lodging options for travelers with animals. Most campgrounds require pets to be leashed when outside accommodations, properly supervised at all times, and kept from disturbing wildlife or other campers. Sites typically include fire rings, picnic tables, and access to toilet facilities, with many offering showers and sanitary dump stations for RVs. Campgrounds remain well-maintained with clean bathrooms and shower facilities according to visitor reports.
The region offers extensive recreational opportunities for visitors with pets. Mirror Lake's tranquil waters provide excellent paddling conditions, with canoe and kayak rentals available onsite. Multiple hiking trails throughout the parks welcome leashed dogs, with Echo Rock trail offering scenic views along rock formations. An unmarked lakeside trail accessible from the fishing pier provides a beautiful path between rock structures and the water. The proximity to Wisconsin Dells means easy access to pet supplies and veterinary services when needed. Sites tend to have good separation with vegetation between them, offering relative privacy while camping with animals. Despite some highway noise at certain campgrounds, the natural setting and tree cover create a sense of seclusion. The best campsites fill quickly during peak season, particularly on summer weekends.

TravelerWisconsin Dells KOA
Good campground for families with kids
A central playground and pool are the biggest draws for families with kids. There's also a prospecting 'sluice' that you can buy for the kids to look for 'fossils' and interesting rocks.
The campground is located just north of the main attractions of Wisconsin Dells.
Campsites are not overly generous in size -- typical KOA, where some are 'stacked like cordwood'. Don't go there if you want any privacy from your neighbors.
Cabins are available for those wanting to 'camp' without a camper.
Very small dog park area.
Friendly check in staff. However, we were given a map with our campsite noted and told to wait for a person driving a golf cart to escort us and help us get situated. We waited...and waited...and waited...golf carts came and went, but passed us by. We finally gave up waiting and found out site by ourselves.

Convenient RV Stay Near the Dells
Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells RV Park is a nice option if you want an easy RV stay close to the casino and Wisconsin Dells attractions. I like that it feels convenient and low-hassle, with full hook-up sites, Wi-Fi, showers, laundry, a playground, pet area, and access to some hotel/casino amenities.
Pros: great location, full hook-ups, convenient amenities, close to entertainment.
Cons: it is more practical than scenic, and it is RV-only, so no tent camping.
Overall, it’s a good pick if you want a comfortable RV base near the Dells instead of a rustic campground.

Glacier Valley Campground
Fun place
Nice, clean, well maintained campground with something for everyone. Swimming pond is huge with toys for everyone. You can bring your own pool toys. Sites are decently spacious and decently level with some gravel and some grass. Bathhouse is nice & clean. Office/store has some logo goodies as well as any necessities you may need. They had a beer tasting going on, live music at the pavilion- both on a Saturday during our stay. A couple trails around for walks with dogs & a dog park. Lively campground during the day but nice & quiet at night with quiet hours being 11pm-8am.

So Much to Do Worth a Second Visit
We enjoyed this park so much we have already been here twice and have a third trip planned for this coming September. There are very wide bike/hiking paths that are paved or stone.
The huge lake has boating opportunities and you can rent a boat in McFarland that is a short drive or bike ride. We rented a boat to fish and then drove across the lake to eat at a restaurant with boat parking.
The nature center is across the street from the campground and has a small snack bar/restaurant. There are cranes walking all around and the park is so big it has different types of plants to explore. There is an observation tower and in the picnic area a playground. The best part is the boardwalk that extents over the lake and you are walking/riding on water.
About a half a mile away is a very nice dog park that you receive admission to if you have a campsite.
Dane County has many parks in their system and we have stayed at several and all are great.

nice clean quiet
My first time at a campsite and new to the rv life. This campground is nice and so are the employees grass gets cut every week, the pool is clean, so is the dog park, my husband likes going to the camp bathroom for a hot shower because our rv only has 10 gallons of hot water. We did 3 months at the camp!

Wonderful County Park Campground
We stayed in our 42 ft motor home with jeep tow. We drove to the park in our jeep at nine am on a Sunday to check availability. If you haven’t reserved a site, there are several sites for walk-ins but you have to be present to sign/obtain them. Check out time is three pm but weekend people often leave earlier in the day and that is what occurred for us. Several sites have 50 amp plus there are thirty amp And non electric/tent sites available. The campground has showers and bathrooms but this is a county park so understand these are not hotel facilities. They are adequate for campIng. There are biking and hiking trails in and through the park and trail users also share the restrooms. The park is close to Madison. There is WiFi but the signal is variable. The ranger and campground hosts were friendly and helpful. Four legged campers on leash can walk with you on the trails and there is s nearby dog park.

Rocky Arbor State Park Campground
Wooded, beautiful, and secluded but nearby the Dells!
This park gives the option of both tent and camper sites. Many of the sites are separated from others by some space and numerous trees, tucked back away in the pine forest. The secluded nature gives it the feel of a National Park with beautiful stretches of pine and rocky ledges. Most sites are quiet, with only the slightest hum of the interstate in the background (although a couple may be loud, so beware which site you book). Staff is friendly and helpful, firewood is available at the park. Many pit toilets are available, as well as running water/showers. Playgrounds are also in the park, a pet area, water fill up station, some trails (nothing much for hiking). Very very close to the Dells as well! Mosquitoes are terrible during the summer, but that’s to be expected anywhere in Wisconsin.
Guide to Reedsburg
Pet friendly camping near Reedsburg, Wisconsin offers natural escapes with varying levels of development. The area sits at the northern edge of the unglaciated Driftless Region, with elevation changes creating unique rock formations and sandstone cliffs. Summer temperatures average 75-85°F during day, dropping into the 50s at night, with higher humidity levels in July and August.
What to do
Kayaking on calm waters: Mirror Lake State Park provides excellent paddling with less wind and current than other nearby lakes. "The lake is great for kayaking. Lots of sandstone cliffs. We only did 2 hiking trails but they were well maintained," notes a visitor to Mirror Lake State Park.
Hiking challenging terrain: Devils Lake State Park offers more strenuous trails with elevation changes. "Devils lake state park is a busy place. Over 2 million visitors a year! Climbing is popular and there are people to help teach you," reports a camper at Quartzite Campground.
Winter activities: The region maintains accessibility during colder months. "We camped at the Ice Age trail sites. We did an evening hike up the bluffs to watch the fireworks from Baraboo. Cool nights warm day," shares a visitor to Northern Lights Campground, highlighting the park's year-round appeal.
Indoor options during poor weather: Wisconsin Dells provides alternatives when outdoor activities aren't possible. "Being as big as it is though, it can get crowded and loud at times. The lake is really nice. They don't allow motor boats and have rentals for canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards," explains a camper who visited Ice Age Campground.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Some campgrounds offer more seclusion than others. "Campsites are wooded and peaceful. This reminds me of camping as a kid. Bath houses were clean and plenty of stalls. Excellent walking and hiking trails," explains a visitor to Cliffwood Campground.
Clean facilities: Most campgrounds maintain good hygiene standards. "Despite the very crowded campground, the bathrooms were immaculate. Even the Men's room was super clean. They have 3 indoor showers in each gender bathroom, and a couple of outdoor shower stalls," notes a camper at Fox Hill RV Park.
Proximity to attractions: Campgrounds offer easy access to both natural areas and commercial attractions. "This state park gives the option of both tent and camper sites. Many of the sites are separated from others by some space and numerous trees, tucked back away in the pine forest," writes a visitor to Rocky Arbor State Park.
Pet-specific amenities: Many campgrounds accommodate four-legged companions. "We drycamped at the quartzite campground and enjoyed our stay. They also have several doggy swimming areas, but only on the south side could she be in the water without a leash," explains a Quartzite Campground visitor.
What you should know
Highway noise impacts: Several campgrounds sit near major roadways. "You could hear traffic at almost all times," writes a camper at Bluewater Bay. Similarly, a visitor to Wisconsin Mirror Lake Scenic Byway notes, "Important thing to note: you are so so close to the freeway. I wasn't aware of the freeway noise during the day, but once I went to bed it was all I could hear."
Reservation requirements: Popular sites fill quickly. "The sites here are large but get reserved quickly! Yiu need to book the 11 months in advance, especially for holiday weekends," advises a Quartzite Campground visitor.
Additional fees: State parks charge entrance fees beyond camping costs. "On top of our over priced ($123) two night stay, we had to pay an additional $30 for an emissions fee," reports a camper from Northern Lights Campground.
Wildlife challenges: Active raccoons require proper food storage. "The raccoons were brutal. They broke into our crates twice. Smart enough to figure out the clip mechanism," warns a visitor to Mirror Lake.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-focused activities: Some campgrounds offer organized programming. "They pile people onto a trailer turned wagon and drive around the park and yell 'HEEEEEYYYYYYYYY' to every person they see!!! (Don't forget to say 'Hey!' back and wave!) it's so fun to see the kids on that thing!" shares a visitor to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park.
Playground locations: Consider proximity to play areas when selecting sites. "Our spot, F-2, was right across from the playground and great for my kiddo. Only neighbors to the sides and woods behind," notes a Fox Hill RV Park camper.
Swimming options: Beaches and pools provide water recreation. "The kids loved the blow ops in the pond. The pool was nice, but a bit colder than the pond. It's heated with a solar cover," explains a visitor to Fox Hill RV Park.
Educational opportunities: Natural features create learning moments. "We were absolutely enthralled by watching the eagles soar and swoop above the lake, but below our perch on the cliffside," shares a Northern Lights Campground visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain. "Our site was very unlevel side to side. It took two 2x6 and a 1x6 under the camp side to be level. That made the first step into the coach, and last step out of the coach extremely high off the ground," warns a Fox Hill RV Park visitor.
Water and electric details: Full hookups aren't universal. "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," reports a Fox Hill RV Park camper.
Size restrictions: Not all sites accommodate larger RVs. "Site 70 is short, not level and the highway noise was so loud we had to shout. It would have been a challenge to back into the site," cautions a visitor at Rocky Arbor State Park.
Delivery services: Some campgrounds offer conveniences. "Firewood and ice is delivered to your site," notes a Fox Hill RV Park camper, making stays more comfortable for those with limited mobility.
