LegendVery nice KOA in WI Dells. RV, tent, cabins, Lodge. Pool, playground, basketball/ volleyball courts, game room, camp store, laundry, dish washing station and air hose for tires! Full hookup sites, some with nice cement pads. They escort you to your site and help guide for back in sites! Daily trash pickup from sites. They even deliver ice and firewood to your site. Activities for kids. They even text for severe weather information.
RangerThis is our second stay here as RV campers. We stayed for 3 nights over the Memorial Day weekend, and it was packed with campers. There are 2 main sections of the campground: the new part that is all full hook-up RV sites and the older part which is a mix of W/E and S/W/E. The new section will be a lot better next year, but *just* finished construction and it is still a wide open area. It was dusty and hot because the grass isn't gown in yet, there's still a ton of sand, and no trees. So the new sites currently have little to no shade (see pictures). If you have a big rig and need pull through with full hook up, it may be worth it. We chose to get a smaller campsite with just W/E because there are trees and shade, and it just feels a little more like camping. Also have spots for hanging hammocks, and some sites are positioned well for groups.
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. The pool was also open, and warm enough to swim in. They also had some fun activities for the kids, but it was a challenge to maintain safe distancing with all of the interested people.
I think this is a great campground for families that want some of the nicer amenities (pool, rental bikes, games, etc) that the nearby state parks are lacking. It's our preferred campground to use as base camp for hiking and exploring nearby. You're only a 10 min drive from the Dells, but you have the fee of an up north campground. The owners are super helpful and nice. Once the new area fills in with grass and some shade trees, this place will be 5 stars in my book. Did I mention there are 2 dog play areas? Really well kept and a wonderful touch.
GuideWe camped on site 120, a “red carpet” site which means full hooks ups, grill, fire pit, cement slab, 2 wrist bands to do the activities and 2 welcome drinks. I used to come here as a kid and the park still looks very similar still- nostalgic for sure! But they’ve definitely made some upgrades to the pool- which has a slide a separate hot tub and a separate kids area. The roads are wide enough, but very narrow. We are a 33.6 ft rig so navigating around parked cars was a challenge as people had their vehicles right to the road. TIP: the site markers come out of the ground so if you need to, remove it so you can get in. There is TONS OF STUFF for kids to do here!!! It was Halloween theme weekend so there was trick or treating, a haunted house, dance party… lots of stuff. My fav thing as an adult is the “Hey ride!” 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! They also do ceramics and have a wonderful selection of food at the Pool (as well as a wonderfully stocked bar.) They do Yogi Bear Cartoons each night which is neat! The rent golf carts by 30 minutes but the park isn’t giant, you don’t really need a cart unless it’s for the hills. If you go to the boat area- take your vehicle if you don’t want a work out on the way back up.
TravelerThe 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.
GuideWe came here to enjoy some river tubing! Free shuttle takes you up river for a 3 hour float trip. We reserved one campsite for 2 couples. There was a picnic table, fire pit and electric hookup onsite. Port o potties and spigot nearby and a dumpster for trash. They have non electric camp sites along with RV sites and cabins with everything you could need including kitchen and tv. Seems like a lot of people stay there for the long haul as there are some trailer homes with heavy decoration.
The general store has everything you would need available for purchase and there's a large bar/restaurant attached. We were there the same day of a wedding reception. Free mini golf and swimming pool for campers. Bugs were a bit of an issue but thats expected. The river is clean with a shallow sandy bottom which attracts many parties and fun times. Not exactly the place for a quiet getaway.
TravelerSherwood Forest Campground is a long time family run campground in an excellent location for enjoying all that the Wisconsin Dells has to offer. Our site had 50 amp electric, water and sewer connections. We were situated on the upper ridge of the campground, furthest from the office/camp store and swimming pool. Our showers were very disappointing. The shower stall had a single stackable plastic lawn chair and a curtain. No mirror, no towel bar or hook, no shelf or caddy in the shower for toiletries. To operate the shower, one must push in the valve, hope the water is a suitable temperature, and repeat after about 20 seconds, or keep pushing while performing your ablutions one handed. The swimming pool, while advertised as heated to 80 degrees, was not heated at all. There is a fairly complete camp store, a splash pad for kids, a game room and laundry available. Some seasonal sites are also available.
ScoutThis was my first and probably last time camping at Cox Hollow. Let’s start with positive: easy access to the campsite I was able to park my car right by the tent. Bathrooms and showers seemed clean enough, but I would recommend wearing some sort of footwear while you shower. Now the negatives: loud and obnoxious families with screaming bratty kids, people leave food scraps so raccoons are not scared and come right up to you sniffing for food, people have zero courtesy and slam bathroom door non stop, not to mention slamming down dumpster lids literally all day and late into the evening. Oh and did I mention screaming kids? Apparently “quiet hours” are from 11pm-8am, well the noise continued almost into midnight hours and as early as 6:30am. Thumping stereos with loud music, also can’t blame dogs for barking, but we had a howler and it kept going all the time. Forget about sleeping in or enjoying the sounds of nature. I’d like try different campsite at this park, but won’t be returning to Cox Hollow.
RangerOverall my family LOVED this campground. There is a decent sized pool that is clean and well-maintained with a smaller kiddie pool with a slide. There is also a man-made lake with a beach for swimming and bigger kids to enjoy the large inflatable slides and swim platforms. The campground is right on the river, and provides rentals for canoes, kayaks, and tubes. They will shuttle you as far up the river as you'd like to go, and you float or paddle back while enjoying all the sand bars along the way.
As an RV campground, the sites were level and grassy with at least one tree per lot. In the sites closer to the pool and lagoon (swim lake), they offer little privacy but are great for multi-family groups. We got a site with some woods in the back, so it was more quiet and private. The electrical and water hook ups were conveniently located, and the site was easy to get into. There were a lot of big Class A motorhomes, so the sites are plenty big. The tent sites are further away from the action, but have easy access to another bathroom and shower. They're also close to the river, and back up to a large corn field. There's a row of pine trees for easy hammock set up, and open grassy areas to let your group sprawl. The bathrooms were clean and nice, but they do have a $1 min for a shower. There is a change machine in the laundry facility.
The Resort also has an extensive camp shop and a huge restaurant with outdoor riverside seating. With live music and a full bar, this made for a really relaxing atmosphere if you're not up to campfire cooking.
We enjoyed this campground and it's friendly staff and campers. Even through there are a lot of people there so you're not isolated in the woods, it wasn't loud or obnoxious with partiers. It's Wisconsin, so everybody was drinking beers and having fun but it wasn't loud and rowdy. The best part is the location on the Wisconsin River- you can get your fill of quiet solitude on the water, or float in a tube with a case of beer if you like. We enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back! It’s a great spot to use as home base for river trips, and don’t forget the Spring Green Desert conservancy nearby. Who knew there were cactuses in Wisconsin? Total hike is about 3.2 miles round trip, with a gorgeous view of the valley.
TravelerWe were at site #9, great spot for tent. There were only trees behind us and our neighbors were far enough way we had privacy. There was no electricity, but we charged our phones and my son’s iPad at the ranger station. There was no running water so bring sanitizer. The swimming pond was great and not rocky. The hikes were good but lots of mosquitoes which made it hard to enjoy. Wish there was more to do in the area. No showers and no electricity in the bathroom near our site.
Camping options near Richland Center cover diverse terrain from bluff-top views to riverside access, with most sites located in the Driftless Area's unique rolling landscape. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F with occasional thunderstorms, while spring and fall bring cooler weather and fewer crowds.

Cave exploration: Eagle Cave Resort offers a distinctive underground camping experience from Fall through Spring. "This is a great family camp ground! Winter is best for cave camping! Mostly scouts and church groups during the winter," notes one visitor, while another mentions "we went in March, so with all the runoff from the snow it was a very wet experience... the exploring was fantastic and physically challenging for everyone."
Paddling and floating: The Lower Wisconsin and Kickapoo Rivers provide excellent paddling opportunities. A camper at Wildcat Mountain State Park shared: "We kayaked the Kickapoo river and stayed here for a night... Hiking trails were pretty close and we had quite the exercise going up/down the mountain." The Kickapoo is known for its tight curves and gentle current, perfect for beginners.
Hiking local trails: The region features several trails with driftless area overlooks. At Wildcat Mountain State Park, one visitor reported: "Ice Cave trail was a neat, quick walk. The trails around have gorgeous views of the driftless area and Kickapoo river." Governor Dodge State Park also offers extensive trail networks.
Private, wooded sites: Many campgrounds in the area provide natural separation between campsites. A camper at Governor Dodge State Park observed: "Good sized wooded sites with trees providing reasonable privacy. Flat area for tents but not all 'driveways' are level which, unfortunately, we discovered in site 33."
Swimming options: Several campgrounds feature beaches, ponds, or pools. At Chapparal Campground, a visitor described: "This ultra clean campground has amazing shower and bathroom facilities. All the camp sites are shady and super well kept. On site there is a small swimming pool that is clean and not too deep, as well as a giant beach and swimming hole."
Group camping accommodations: Multiple campgrounds offer sites designed for family gatherings. One visitor to Mirror Lake State Park shared: "Some loops have group sites where you book 2 sites that are connected. Great for 2 families that want to share common space for kids." At Governor Dodge, another camper noted: "Stayed here last year with a group of friends! Had 2 different group sites and both were awesome! A lot of space and not close to other group sites."
Seasonal considerations: Campgrounds often have different vibes depending on when you visit. At Fox Hill RV Park, a camper observed: "We visited for opening weekend during COVID-19, so the park was quiet but open... As we got past Sunday, a few campers filtered out each night, until Thursday when new campers started showing up."
Wildlife encounters: Be prepared for local wildlife, especially raccoons. A visitor to Governor Dodge State Park warned: "Beware of raccoons at this campground they are BOLD!" Another camper at Mirror Lake noted: "The raccoons were brutal. They broke into our crates twice. Smart enough to figure out the clip mechanism."
Limited yurt camping options: True yurt camping near Richland Center, Wisconsin is primarily available at Wisconsin Dells KOA, about 40 minutes away. For closer alternatives to yurt camping in Richland Center, Wisconsin, consider the cabin options at Eagle Cave Resort or Wisconsin Riverside Resort.
Water features for kids: Many campgrounds cater specifically to families with water activities. At Wisconsin Dells KOA, a visitor shared: "The kids loved the pool and splash pad as well." Chapparal Campground offers additional water activities: "Campers may use the beach for free, but the inflatable's that are on the water cost extra."
Special events and activities: Some campgrounds organize regular activities for children. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, one camper reported: "It was Halloween theme weekend so there was trick or treating, a haunted house, dance party... lots of stuff. My fav thing as an adult is the 'Hey ride!' They pile people onto a trailer turned wagon and drive around the park."
Bike-friendly options: Several campgrounds offer safe biking opportunities for children. Fox Hill RV Park provides rental bikes according to campers, and one visitor mentioned: "The kids enjoyed the amenities and the adults enjoyed the trees." Wisconsin Riverside Resort also features paved paths suitable for young cyclists.
Site selection guidance: Many campgrounds have varied site types for different RV needs. At Wisconsin Riverside Resort, a camper advised: "We stayed in a pull thru site. The camp fire was located under a tree... I think the pull thru are more fit for travel trailers not more 31 feet. We had 5th wheel 40 feet it felt tight to get into to. They have more spacious campsites near the lagoon for bigger rigs."
Leveling challenges: Some sites require significant leveling equipment. A camper at Fox Hill RV Park noted: "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."
Hookup reliability: Full-service hookups vary by campground. Wisconsin Dells KOA offers complete setups, and a visitor reported: "Hookups for everything. Overall couldn't of picked a better campground." Fox Hill RV Park received similar praise: "Water pressure was good, no power issues and the sewer connection was clean and accessible."
