  Hickory Oaks Campground

  Hickory oaks

  Very nice place to camp. Quite and friendly. Small but accommodates all types of campers. Has 30 and 50 Amp hookups. Tenting up to cabin, they have two. My second year long term camping here. On the edge of the city and close to everything.

  Madison KOA Campground

  Great overnight stop stay

  This KOA, bought by new owners, was a great overnight! Clean bathrooms/showers, nice pool, long-level gravel sites, full hook ups, nice town, nice camp store, super nice owner! Would absolutely stay again! Even have a few tent camping sites

  Sky High Camping Resort

  Resort camping in the clouds

  Took a tour of Sky Haven on a whim. Talk about full service camping! They have everything here- tent sites, RV sites, cabins, nightly, weekly, and long term rates. Frisbee golf, mini golf, a "mining" site, go carts, game room, showers, laundry. It was pretty overwhelming as I don't camp this way. But for a family gathering or reunion, or a big trip, this could be just right for you. Rates were reasonable for all the services you get. I liked the views since the place is up on top of a "mountain".  The staff was really friendly and welcoming and answered every silly question of mine with a smile. Not my camping jam, but definitely nice.

  Green Lake Campground

  Great little Campground

  Our site was S10 which has its pros and cons it is a full hook-up site this section of the campground is fairly new so there is a few in mature trees so there is not much for shade as we walked around the campground we found some full hookup sites that would be great in the wooded area so there would be plenty of shade and it's next to the swimming pond. The 9-hole golf course was nice I just wish I would have remembered my clubs. Like most campgrounds on the weekends it's full during the weekdays pretty well emptied out we arrived on Thursday we had the adult pool to ourselves which is great. The only thing I notice is if you have kids it's too bad they didn't have more things for the kids to climb on in the pond I have a few kayaks and paddle boards. We did enjoy the campground and we will be planning to return

  Buffalo Lake Camping Resort

  Friendly staff for family RV camping

  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.

ATV friendly.It had 30 amp and 50 amp And water. $25 per night. $350 per month with full hook-ups. All the roads in the park were paved. Bathroom and showers available, very clean and private. Boat ramps and docs are there Along with free kayaks for the campers. 2 pavilions for large families and get togethers. I would definitely go back to this campground.

  Smokey Hollow Campground

  Party resort camping

  This is a private “resort” type campground with something for everyone, except peace and quiet and privacy. This is a mostly RV campground with a handful of tent sites wedged in almost as an afterthought. I stopped in and talked with the campground personnel for a while before getting a tour of grounds. There are several loops with lots of long term campers/RVers. There were some cute cabins and even yurts. Behind the office was a large pond with a sand beach, lots of blow up pool toys, a bar, and volleyball, plus there are trikes and bikes available after you play mini-golf. There was an extensive calendar of events for the campers to enjoy including a chili cook-off and activities just for the kiddos (including a water ballon filling station!). This is the place to go if you are looking for a party type campground. Be careful when you arrive and drive to your site as kids are running around and riding their bikes everywhere! The campground has several bath houses scattered between the loops and all were kept very clean.

  Fondu Lac County Fairground

  Perfect Spot Close to City's Amenities

  The Fon Du Lac Fairgrounds was a great place to park our camper with full hook ups. It was great to be able to stay in the middle of the city/town versus on the outskirts like most normal campgrounds.

  We did not use the campgrounds bathrooms or showers but from their website they had some available. We were close to our neighbors on either side, but the park wasn’t full so it did not feel like we were on top of one another.

  We did have to buy two extenders for our sewer hose as our 38 foot rig’s sewer spigot was too far from the sewer hook up. This was an affordable place to stay and was within walking distance to a coffee shop and a pizza place. The staff was very friendly upon arriving and leaving. We paid $25 per night.

  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.

  Osh Vegas Palms

  It’s fine for the air show or festivals.

  It’s a basic rv park. Water and power only, with a dump station out front. There is no other amenities. We were there for the EAA air show, so we needed little. The owner is very laid back and friendly. He has plans to upgrade the layout.

  Whistlestop Campground

  Good value if you live close by

  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.

  Blue Top Resort & Campground

  Great campground

  This is a small campground. It offers Rv pull through sites with electric and water. Along with a variety of other type of sites. There are many seasonal campsites. It is very clean and well run. The owner - Reid was great. It has a small pond to swim in and is also located on big lake. They have boat rentals. I only gave it 4 stars because we prefer full hookup but they did offer pump out service for a small fee. Great location with lots of things to do in the area.

  Apple Creek Campground

  Crowded, loud and stinky

  This is more of an RV park. It has lots of activities for kids etc but when we were there the place stunk. The pond for “fishing” had an odd algae/dead fish smell and the campsite smelled like sewer mixed with manure.

  The sites are right on top of each other and you could hear a mouse fart in the other sites.

  Sleepy Hollow Farms

  Convenient to the highway

  General: There is both a north and a south part to this campground with a total of 178 sites. The sites in the south part are all on a grassy field and there is a small man-made lake with an inflatable play area. The sites in the north part are a mix of full hook-up and tent sites. There are also small cabins (only one of which has a bathroom) and three “condos”. These all had air-conditioners, but I did not see the inside of them. The north unit features a pond, which I was disappointed to discover was algae-filled and completely green. 

  Site Quality: Some are pull-through and some back-in. Some sites have electric and water hookups, some have picnic tables, and some have fire rings (but not all sites have all of these amenities). Only a handful have concrete pads; the rest are all on grass. 

  Our impression of Sleepy Hollow was influenced in part by the fact that it poured rain for much of our overnight stay. The roads were all dirt and with the rain, became very muddy along with the campsites as well. When leaving the next day, we had some challenges backing out of our site with the amount of mud. There is no clear delineation between the sites other than where the electric and water hookups are placed. 

  Bathhouse: Was very clean (in both the north and south units of the campground). Showers are available for a fee (five minutes for$1.00) but we did not use them so cannot comment on how well they worked. 

  Activities/Amenities: In the south unit, there is a small manmade lake with an inflatable play structure and plenty of life jackets. The color is a beautiful Caribbean blue, but it did not look natural, and I was not sure of the source of the color. We were there on a weekday in September, and no one was using the lake. There is a small bar and grill (in the north section) and a concession (south unit) on-site, but both were closed when we were there. Firewood was available (15 pieces for $10); we asked and were granted permission to use the golf cart to bring the wood to our site. Other than the lake, there really is nothing offered for recreation. 

  We chose this campground for its location; it is very close to Highway 41 in Oshkosh (you will hear road noise) and we were meeting family there. We checked in online the day before and arrived at 3:30 pm. No one was in the office when we arrived but the family members we were meeting had arranged for us to camp in the site next to them (not the original one we had selected). This campground is VERY close to EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association), and I imagine it would be completely full during the annual EAA convention. For us, it was a convenient location but aside from spending time with our family, the reason we chose this campground.

  Hattie Sherwood Park

  Nice campground

  We went here for labor day a couple years back. It was a nice clean campground. It doesn't have a full-time attendant. Self register upon arriving. The morning time the park manager comes through and checks in, cleans the bathrooms etc. Its close to the city if you forget something (I mean we all forget something at some point). Across the street is a swimming area. Little beach and floating dock. Has a small fishing area by the boat launch. Pretty weedy and the dock is shared with people coming in or out with their boat. Smaller fish perfect for younger kids. You can fish further down by the bridge as well. Sites seemed to all be decent size. Plenty of 5th wheels or camper trailers. (At the time we had a tent). We did have some loud neighbors from Illinois. They partied until 2 or 3 in the morning. We talked to the park manager in the morning and he was very helpful. He apologized and talked to the group. We didnt have any other issues the rest of the weekend. Running water and showers at the bathrooms. They were cleaned every morning and then checked on at night. Scenery was great, you could walk across the street and watch the sunrise over green lake. We will definitely stop here again.

  Astico County Park

  Small but on the water

  We stayed at campsite 1, which is right in the little river. Site had extra space around it, and we could canoe right from our site or use the boat launch by site 13. Plenty of tent and a few electric sites, I’d highly recommend for rvs and tents if you stay further from the highway. This campground is very pretty, just not remote at all so you can hear the sounds of cars and trucks. Video is posted with sound. If you want a nice family weekend with easy access to water, this is a great place. There are some short hikes and a historical bridge to see. Also close to the Wild Goose bike trail, which is a flat crushed rock path for running, biking, or horse back riding. For rvs they have water fill and a dump site, so you’re covered. The bathrooms are less than desirable, but that’s not why you’re here. We would definitely come again, but would pick a spot with less highway traffic. Some sites are nestled against the woods, some are more open. Good place for groups! A 15 min drive in to Juneau or Colombus to refuel.

  Bonanza Campground

  Everything you need!!!

  My wife and kids had just purchased our first RV and were looking to celebrate my daughters birthday in the Dells. Now we could have spent a small fortune staying in one of the resorts, but we thought RV’ing would have been more fun. Bonanza is located within walking distance of Olympus Waterpark as well as Noah’s Ark and multiple other attractions. There is a clean pool, mini golf and a front office that is willing help out with wood or ice even when closed. The staff were very accommodating as they assisted us with changing our site due to space. The play ground is located center of the park with laundry and showers close by. They offer full hookup, partial hookup, cabins and rustic camping. I highly recommend and will for sure be coming back.

  Wisconsin Dells KOA

  Close to the Dells action but jam packed in summer

  Camping the in Wisconsin Dells area is always a challenge because there are such big crowds in the summer heading to the waterparks. If you are looking to stay in your camper while enjoying the Wisconsin Dells tourism, this KOA is fine. The lots are very small, but overall paved and level so you will have a quick set up. You are on top of your neighbor and your fire pit is close (too close) to all your stuff. There is a pool, but is was crazy crowded with obnoxious campers. If you have a camper (travel trailer, motorhome, pop-up) you should have everything you need for an in-town stay at the Dells. If you're in a tent, I wouldn't chose this campground and would stay further away from the main strip.

  Derge County Park

  Open grassy area near fishing and boating lake

  This place surprised me. It’s relatively close to town and yet it’s miles down a dead end road so it’s really quiet. The host was super nice. Friendly welcomes are the best! The sites are large and open. We were here when it was empty so filled sites might make a different experience.

  Sites have electric and there is a dump station so it’s set up for RVs but there is space for tents too. Flushing toilets and showers were an unexpected treat. 

  The lake is just across the road so bring your fishing gear or canoe. There is a small park by the shore but not really any place to walk my dog. We did laps and Dakota was perfectly happy. 

  This place is worth a stop if you want a quiet spot to enjoy life.

  Family Fun & Lots of Space

  We came here with a group of four families. It was excellent to have tent, cabin and rv spots available as each family felt comfortable staying there. Very spacious campsites. Clean and well manicured. They have a fully stocked store, pool, kangaroo pad and lake with inflatable slides etc. Their playground is awesome and kept all 12 kids ages 1-12 busy for the whole day. We would stay there again. Showers are 25cents for 4mins. Pretty clean and updated bathroom facilities.
