    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.

      Emrick Lake Campground & Resort

      Owner is unbelievably rude and unprofessional

      If you want one of their employees to scream at you in front of everyone during bingo saying I’m going to“beat your ass” then this is the place for you! Complained to owner; did nothing at all said I was in the wrong then proceeds to scream at a different employee in front of everyone saying“you’re out of here I don’t care if you don’t have a ride home” completely embarrassing& unprofessional. A yogi bear would never. Edit: owner comes up to me later in the night, says she was in the military and would have no problem‘kicking my ass.’ Then shushes me and asks if I’m always so difficult to talk to. Like seriously? This is who runs this place? Unprofessional

      White Mound County Campground

      Off the beaten path

      Very nice grounds with gorgeous tree covered sites, electric hookup on most of them. They have toilet facilities on each end of the grounds. They have shower facilities with potable water fill station next to the showers and water fountains in several locations. For those with kids they have a very nice playground area.

      The Rock Camping Resort

      Nice and quiet campground

      When we visited mid-week in August for one night, we had the whole campground area to ourselves. The place is basically split in 2 sections - more permanent RVs and some cabins on one side of a dirt road and the campground on the other. The permanent side is pretty filled. There is a bar where you check in, a boat launch and I believe they have water sports equipment to rent but we didn’t use any of that.

      On the campground side, there is one portapotty which seemed brand new - and the showers/bathroom facility is near the cabins, a pretty far walk from our site. Some of the first sites aren’t very level, we ended up switching sites to a more level site - sites before 106 don’t seem very level. There are a few paved pads for larger rigs and a lot of sites have electric and water. Clean campground, though I felt a bit expensive for the sites ($50/night).

      Rustic Barn Campground RV Park

      Beautiful Spot

      Campground sits on a hill overlooking a number of farms. Absolutely beautiful. Decent sized sites, full hook-ups. Also a dump station. Small store on site. Trees provide shade. Many acres of paths and grass to walk the dog. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Whole place is neat and tidy. Only negative is highway noise. Pull through sites are farther from highway so may be less noisy there.

      New Glarus State Park Campground

      Convenient to New Glarus

      This is a small campground. Sites are a little overgrown and not very level. No hook ups. No dump station, but quiet and a good overnight stop

      Cliffwood Campground — Mirror Lake State Park

      Beware of extra fees

      The RV campsite for out of state guests was listed for $58. However when entering the park we were charged an additional $16.

      Potable water is at the front of the campground. Ice is not sold on site.

      Holiday Shores Campground

      Money-grab if ever I saw one

      Any property that charges $3.00 per pet PER NIGHT should be put out of business. I can understand (maybe) a one-time charge or fines if you're caught not cleaning up after your pet. But a nightly pet fee for each pet?? Never!!

    Guide to Spring Green

    The Wisconsin River Valley offers access points to numerous camping sites near Spring Green, Wisconsin, with elevations ranging from 700-1,700 feet above sea level. The area features unique geological formations including quartzite bluffs, limestone caves, and river sandbars. Campers often note significant temperature fluctuations between day and night regardless of season, particularly at higher elevation campgrounds.

    What to do

    River recreation access: Governor Dodge State Park has two lakes for water activities. "Great state park for a family camping vacation, tons of stuff to do. Lakes, trails, kayaking, boating, paddle boarding, fishing. Hidden gem of Wisconsin," writes Meg S. about Twin Valley Campground.

    Unique hiking trails: The Ice Age Trail passes through several campgrounds. "I left on foot from my campsite and hiked the Meadow Valley, Lost Canyon, Stephens Falls and Goldmine trails. Lost Canyon was BEAUTIFUL and had so many interesting geographical features," notes Mary M. about her stay at Twin Valley Campground.

    Historical sites: Visit the restored shot tower at Tower Hill State Park. "The historic shot tower is so fun to visit," says Brianne M. about Tower Hill State Park Campground. The park also features 3+ miles of trails leading to exhibits and valley views.

    What campers like

    Spacious campsites: Many sites offer room for various camping setups. "Site #5 is the largest and nicest. #6 has a stone BBQ, but the grate is missing. #7 is possibly the most unique in the state, it has an old, restored wood burning oven," notes Brian O. about Tower Hill State Park Campground.

    River access points: Wisconsin Riverside Resort provides direct river access. "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," explains Kim L. about Wisconsin Riverside Resort.

    Fall foliage viewing: Blue Mound State Park offers excellent autumn color. "The campground in Blue Mound State Park has well-maintained bathrooms, water faucets nearby, car camping, plus a few hike/bike-in sites. There are good views from a fire tower which sits atop the mound," reports Danielle A.

    What you should know

    Site-specific characteristics: Not all sites are equal at Blue Mound. "While I've visited several parks now that have 'walk in' sites, with cars parked a minute or two from the campsite, about a dozen sites in Blue Mound State Park take 'walk in' to a new level. Cars can drive to a barrier across the road, and the sites are a 10-15 minute walk downhill," reports Josh F. about Blue Mound State Park Campground.

    Seasonal impacts: Insect activity varies by season. "Site 269, genuinely a perfect distance from the road with a reserved parking spot big enough for potentially 2 cars, nice trees for hammock hanging, decently level ground. PSA (obvi) keep your food and garbage locked up and away from your site. The raccoons here and insanely bold," warns Sarah R. about Governor Dodge State Park.

    Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly. "This park has some fabulous things to offer. There are 2 great (but a bit rocky) swimming beaches, AMAZING hiking with stunning views, the campgrounds are mostly kept up very nicely. Peak season reservations are a definite (weeks to months in advance for weekends)," advises Julie L.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming options: Wisconsin Riverside Resort offers multiple swimming areas. "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," shares Kim L.

    Playground facilities: Blue Mound State Park has excellent facilities for children. "This campground has a nice playground, hiking trails both short and longer and bike trails. The pool is very nice and very clean. There is a pool section and a splash section. There are chairs and lounges around both and shade awnings," details Debra M. about Blue Mound State Park Campground.

    Family-friendly hiking: Several parks offer easier trails for children. "Perfect for a family get away - showers, flush toilets, lots of hiking (but trails aren't very challenging), swimming area and boat launch, playground. Basically a little bit of everything that makes it family friendly," explains Jen L. about Governor Dodge State Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection guidance: Sites vary in their accommodation for larger RVs. "We got site 401 which is near the bathroom. There are plenty of trees between sites so others are heard more than seen. The site is large enough for my teardrop camper and a screen room and still have plenty more room," reports Art S. about Ice Age Campground.

    Electrical hookup locations: Some campgrounds have hard-to-find connections. "It was nice that we were escorted to our site. Some campgrounds can be difficult to figure out sites. The staff member showed us where our electric hook up was; this was actually helpful because it was covered by trees. We would have hooked up to the wrong box," shares Kelly M. about Fireside Campground.

    Leveling considerations: Not all sites have level parking areas. "The campground itself has wooded sites. Some larger than others so be sure to watch the site listing on ReserveAmerica to see how deep the site it," advises Tammy V. about Blue Mound State Park Campground.
