Best Campgrounds near Spring Green, WI

766 Reviews

Spring Green in Wisconsin connects campers with two state parks that balance natural settings and basic amenities. Wyalusing State Park Campground has several hiking trails that wind through wooded areas and along bluffs. Buckhorn State Park Campground sits near good fishing spots where campers can try for bass and panfish. Both parks maintain clean restrooms and have designated picnic areas with tables. The parks sometimes implement fire restrictions during dry periods, and you might need permits for activities like fishing or bringing in firewood. Many campers visit during spring when wildflowers bloom or fall when leaves change color and temperatures cool down. Summers can get muggy with plenty of mosquitoes, so bringing bug spray makes a big difference in comfort. Some people camp during winter, though you'll need serious cold-weather gear and should check if water systems are still running. Spring Green camping works well for quick weekend trips or longer stays since the parks have enough variety to keep you busy.

    Sandstone Ridge Campground — Mirror Lake State Park

    Beautiful lake

    The lake is great for kayaking. Lots of sandstone cliffs. We only did 2 hiking trails but they were well maintained. The site was good. The 202 area has a parking lot for 4 sites and a very short walk to the sites. Fire pit and picnic table were in good shape. The highway noise is loud and some military jets kept flying overhead. The raccoons were brutal. They broke into our crates twice. Smart enough to figure out the clip mechanism. Overall good site but a little noisy.

    Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground

    Pros, cons, and Caution!

    PROS: large private sites with good space between them in a lovely wooded setting. Very nice hiking trails right from campground. Lake & pet swim area.

    CONS: no water, mosquitos. And… major CAUTION for RVs: there is an oak tree near entry with low branches and it took the AC off our friend’s fifth wheel. There is also a low hanging overpass and it took the roofs off TWO fifth wheels while we were staying there. Major damage on roof and internally - the RV had to be totaled and replaced. Terrible signage in park does not indicate height of bridge or warn about the oak tree. Our friends reported that the camp host said the park knows about these hazards but hasn’t taken care of them so she will “remind them” for their task list in November.

    New Glarus State Park Campground

    Spring on our site

    There was a spring on our site! We hiked in a bit to a wooded quiet site. The toilets were clean. The playground was great. We spent the day exploring our Swiss heritage in New Glarus.

    Wildcat Mountain State Park Campground

    Cottontail lane

    We hiked a short distance into our site. We had to pass a grassy area that was always full of bunnies! The site was of good size, dark and quiet. The shower house was close and clean.

    Tower Hill State Park Campground

    Lightning bugs galore

    We were here during a thunderstorm so didn’t have the best experience. Our hill top site had water flowing through and our screen tent had a branch fall on it. But the sites are adequate for tents and the picnic shelter is lovely. The mosquitoes are ferocious, as expected for July in Wisconsin. We enjoyed chasing lightning bugs. The toilets are as expected for an older park.

    Pride of America Camping Resort

    Local Favorite

    We just purchased our fifth wheel last month, and a week after we took our first trip to POA. During that weekend, we booked our next trip for a full week. We loved the sites in the back (800s), amenities and the staff. We definitely plan to be back often!
