Nice place
Nice campground sites are smaller & you will need to level. Nice clean flush toilets & showers. Can hear the highway below. Road in is gravel & narrow not for big rigs.

Beautiful, clean, fun
I was a little skeptical after a negative review about the regular residents, so I watched for that dynamic. We were camping with another family so we had 8 kids between the two of us and I was worried all those kiddos would upset people. Quite the opposite experience from that review and it motivated me to leave this one to help provide a good picture. I have nothing bad to say about our camping experience. We did go a little out of season (September 12) so a lot of the campsites were empty. Most their sites are flat, and clean. The grass was well mowed and maintained. They had activities for the kids (Halloween). People that drove by were friendly and smiling, and waiving. We had people drop off candy for the kids asking parents first. We had people offer basketballs for our kids to use while they were away from their site. Me and my friend were about to haul ice bags and wood up a huge hill on foot and someone stopped their golf cart and emptied it of what they were carrying to give us a ride to our campsite. The kids tootled about on their bikes being kids with no negative experiences. There were a couple of kids on motor scooters whose engines were kind of obnoxious but that’s going to happen more and more at campgrounds, and it wasn’t during quiet hours. We had sites atop the “full Lakeview” and it was honestly surprising how beautiful it was up there. I think it can be difficult to get a view when you’re camping but those sites had it. We knew the full lake view sites were open so we took the cheaper ones across from them, but still saw the same view. There was a great amount of space between the sites we used. The only possible critique I might offer is in that specific row there weren’t many trees for shade, but the weather was cooler so it didn’t affect us, but if we went in the summer it might have been more uncomfortable without that natural shade. The bath houses and showers were great!!! I feel like a good bath house can make or break a campsite and we’ve been to some smaller ones that were quite lacking but this one was great. Very clean, not many bugs, spacious, real doors on the shower stalls. We did not arrive in season to utilize the pool area but it looked great from the other side of the gate ;) - the parks were well maintained and the kids loved them. there was a set of stairs that went from up the hill down to the office that looked a little sketchy but they were closed off for use. If you didn’t have a golf cart or couldn’t ride a bike, the trek from where we stayed to the office might be a challenge. Overall we loved it and would definitely consider going again. The sites were a little pricey but had on site sewer hookup which is fantastic.

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!!

Mill Bluff State Park Campground
Expensive but fine for 1-2 nights
Stayed hear on a very hot 90+degree day during a road trip, easy to reach from I90/94. Midweek, we were the only overnight guests. -Occasional loud noise from the road and train tracks. -At first was wary of paying for no showers and pit toilets for the price, but pit toilets were actually clean with no odor. -Spring fed swimming pond was good for a dip once you found a cool spot, but there are spots that felt like a hot tub. Beach is very nice sand, and there’s a playground for the kids. -Definitely check out the short hike up to Mill Bluff if you can tolerate steep rocky stairs, the view is beautiful. -Tried to check out the other trail near Camel Bluff but it was too overgrown to continue. -Electrical box is in the middle of the campsite near the picnic table, so power cables will need to be at least 30 feet long to comfortably reach your rig. -National Parks Pass is accepted for vehicle admission (separate from camping fee in WI) as this is part of the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve! -Sites 20/21 are great for proximity to swimming pond and toilets

Relaxed and Refreshing
We wanted to visit family in the area at the last minute, and pulled up to see if they had any spot available. They gave us a list of available options, we drove through, and picked a site with the perfect spot to watch the sun set. Amenities are clean, theres a pool table and games in the office area.

TravelerHo-Chunk RV Resort & Campground
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.

Petenwell Park
Peaceful Lake Camping
A nice camping option with a more peaceful, spread-out lake feel. I like that it has camping, boating, swimming, fishing, hiking trails, a playground, concessions, and heated shower/restroom facilities all in one place. The boat launch and transient slips are a big plus if you’re bringing a boat. The only downside is that, like most lake campgrounds, summer weekends can get busy and its a bit of a drive to reach even a gas station so arrive prepared.
Overall, it’s a nice pick for a relaxed Wisconsin lake getaway. Recommended

Castle Rock County Park
Great Wisconsin Lake Camping Spot
A great spot for camping right on Castle Rock Lake. It has that easy, laid-back lake campground feel, with plenty to do without having to leave the park. Between the swimming area, boat launch, fishing, playground, concessions, game room, showers, and year-round access, it’s a nice choice for families, campers, boaters, and anyone who just wants a simple Wisconsin lake getaway.

Guide to Warrens
Glamping and canvas accommodations near Warrens, Wisconsin offer alternative lodging in the driftless region characterized by dramatic sandstone bluffs and valleys. Located in Monroe County at approximately 910 feet elevation, the area experiences warm summers and cold winters, with prime camping season from late April through October. Winter temperature often drops below freezing, making three-season accommodation more practical for most canvas structures.
What to do
Hiking trails with elevation: Mill Bluff State Park Campground provides access to unique rock formations with panoramic views. "The bluffs were beautiful and really fun to climb!" reports one visitor, while another notes "This state park is highlighted by a truck up the side of a bluff with a beautiful panoramic view of the area."
Kayaking the Kickapoo River: Wildcat Mountain State Park Campground serves as a gateway to river adventures. "We kayaked the Kickapoo river and stayed here for a night," shares a camper. "Great location for kayaking and hiking. The facilities are well maintained and clean. Camping sites are spacious and the stars at night is amazing."
ATV trail access: Russell Memorial Park connects directly to local trail systems. "We stayed with a group for Memorial weekend. We have such a great time... Our site was a little hard to get into. We stayed at site 116 with a 40 ft 5th wheel," notes one visitor. The campground provides dedicated ATV parking at the front.
Lake activities: Lake Arbutus offers swimming and boating opportunities at several access points. "We reserved spot 16 knowing it had lake access (not all spots do)... the park is fairly crowded with lots of seasonal campers... but it's clean, the main bath house is nice and the playground is large," reports a camper at Petenwell Park.
What campers like
Privacy in wooded sites: Many canvas accommodation areas feature natural screening. At Wildcat Mountain State Park Campground, "The sites were spaced apart far enough so you weren't on top of the other campers. Very beautiful scenery, especially from the lookout. All the fire rings come with grill racks for cooking."
Water access from sites: Lakefront sites remain among the most requested. "We stayed at sites right on the lake and they were hands down the most beautiful sites I've personally ever camped at! We didn't need to leave our site!" reports an enthusiastic visitor at Petenwell Park.
Bike trail proximity: Tunnel Trail Campground offers direct access to the historic Elroy-Sparta Trail. "The Elroy Sparta Bike Trail, North America's first rails-to-trails project, runs through the Tunnel Trail Campground. The campground is very nice, especially for tents and smaller campers and caters to bicyclists," explains one reviewer. Another adds, "Campground is right on the Elroy-Sparta bike train. They have a very nice pool and the Amish come through on weekends and sell candy and bakery out of their horse and buggy."
Affordable cabin options: For those seeking solid walls while maintaining budget. "A great campground for a nice getaway, Cabins are affordable and packed with amenities. There is a small camp store and boat rental where firewood is available," notes a visitor at Pine View Campground - Fort McCoy.
What you should know
Military base proximity: Some canvas structures near Fort McCoy experience bugle calls and occasional training noise. "North impact area is North of campgrounds. Mortors shooting one evening when we was there. Reveille, call to mess, retreat, tattoo and taps daily," reports a visitor at Pine View Campground.
Highway noise at some locations: Mill Bluff sites experience road sounds. "I camped here last summer and wasn't impressed at how close the camp sites were. We camped in a tent and there were several RV's nearby. Additionally when we went to hike around the area we couldn't seem to escape the sounds of the nearby highway."
Limited amenities at certain parks: Services vary significantly between locations. "If you want a secluded no amenities experience, this is your place. The bluff hike was cool, the beach was ok and very small. Lots of train traffic and flights due to the nearby military base," notes a visitor at Mill Bluff State Park Campground.
Seasonal operation: Most canvas structures close for winter. "The site was of good size, dark and quiet. The shower house was close and clean," notes a summer visitor at Wildcat Mountain, while another adds "We loved it so much that I've already planned another trip!"
Tips for camping with families
Look for built-in activities: Campgrounds with onsite recreation reduce travel needs. A reviewer at Tunnel Trail Campground notes: "The pool opened the day we got there and my kids enjoyed it although it was definitely to cold for me. Frogs pulled us to sleep the first night but disappeared the second. My kids enjoyed playing in that. There's a mini golf course which may have seen better days but is still playable."
Consider lake swimming options: Several parks offer beach access for children. At East Arbutus Camp, visitors enjoy "a warm shallow lake for swimming and boating, dog friendly, safe for kids. Lots of electric sites, but no sites with water or sewer so Sunday checkout there's a line of campers waiting to dump."
Check for playground facilities: Russell Memorial Park offers family-friendly amenities. "Lovely county park with lots of campsites. Office staff is super friendly. Our site is right on the water... so calm and peaceful. Family friendly. Nice and clean. We saw the sheriff's deputy drive through a number of times at night."
Tips from RVers
Site selection matters: Choose locations based on rig size and slide-out needs. At Pine View Campground, "The sites were paved and level. Nicely wooded and made it easy to setup a hammock as well. The site had full hook ups."
Advance planning for dump stations: Not all parks offer full hookups. "Loved our time at East Lake Arbutus... Lots of electric sites, but no sites with water or sewer so Sunday checkout there's a line of campers waiting to dump."
Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have tight access roads. At Tunnel Trail Campground, "We had difficulty getting to our site as tight corners for rigs 38 feet or more."
