Best RV Parks & Resorts near Waunakee, WI

RV parks near Waunakee provide a mix of amenities and site configurations for motorhomes and travel trailers. River Bend RV Resort offers full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections, accommodating big rigs with 50-amp service from mid-April through October. "The sites are pretty level with gravel pad and logically positioned utilities," noted one camper about nearby Fox Hill RV Park, which features similar hookups plus a dog run area and disc golf course. Token Creek County Park provides more basic electric-only sites with enough shade trees for summer camping, though highway proximity creates some ambient noise. Most parks in the area maintain gravel parking pads rather than concrete, with varying degrees of site separation and privacy between RV spots.

Several seasonal considerations affect motorhome travelers in the region. Campgrounds typically operate from mid-April through mid-October, with many closing completely during Wisconsin's winter months. Fairgrounds RV Park stands out for its 50-amp and 30-amp electrical service with full sewer hookups, receiving perfect ratings from reviewers. Dump stations are available at most parks, though some smaller county facilities may have limited waste disposal options. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements. Cell service remains consistent throughout the area, though Wi-Fi quality varies significantly between parks. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends, particularly at lakeside properties like Lakeland Camping Resort where waterfront sites fill quickly during peak season.

    Lantern DeForest

    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.

    Christmas Mountain Village Campground

    Christmas in Summer but I think I will skip the WInter.

    This is a member resort but they do allow the public in.  We went in as Coast to Coast members.  This is an all season resort it does have a ski hill and accommodations for winter.  You can buy a condo resort, Lease a Time Share, buy a camping site ( with a Park Model on it,  Camp in a Motor Home, Trailer or Tent.  You can camp with full hook ups or as they call it the Wilderness Camping, they have some with 110 hook ups.  

    Facilities are very nice and clean, Swimming Pool, Club House with a lot of things to do. The sites are nice and big most are either pull through or large back in sites.  They also have an 18 holes golf course, since we don't golf really don't know how it is.

    They have some WIFi but it is best at the club house the hotspots worked better.

    If you would like to  visit Wisconsin Dells this is a great place as it is not very far from downtown and all the activities.  We spent 2 days exploring the Dells even in rain.  Had a great time.  

    If you are in the area I would check it out.

    Fairgrounds RV Park

    Dodge County Fairgrounds RV Park

    I camped here for a month in July and now a week in Sept. Nicest people ever.
    20/30/50 amp service Most sites have water hook-up Restrooms Dump station Campfires in above ground fire pits supplied by you Pet friendly I like some privacy and the opportunity to let's my dogs play freely at my campsite when I can. The site I'm at has plenty of space for them to run around my site without disturbing other campers. They have a camp host on site who is very helpful. They also have events, usually on the weekend that you can visit or participate. While I've been here they've had a circus, a carnival, a flea market, and something similar to a farmer's market. Where I've chosen to camp, I am out of the way and can enjoy the event and come back to my campsite and continue my camping without being disturbed by the event.

    Pilgrims Campground

    Hillside Tent Camping & RV Bliss

    Conveniently located next to absolutely nothing just due northwest of Fort Atkinson, you’ll love Pilgrim’s Campground for its successful delivery of (capital letters) P&Q! What I love most about this location is how they keep all the RV campers penned in up against the slight diagonal embankment, which actually provides some pretty phenomenal views of the surrounding areas (if not your next door neighbors) as well as excellent drainage and subsequently separated from the primitive TV campsites. These latter sites are placed just due southwest of the grounds and are pitched perfectly in a tree-lined meadow, encircled by freshly cut corn fields, where you’ll find no shortage of amazing animals coming to graze throughout the day (and night) from deer, raccoons, opossums and endless tag teams of squirrels. 

    Because there isn’t so much around, be prepared to bring everything with you (save ice and wood, which is sold on-site). While the bathroom / shower facilities are just passable, what you are giving up in terms of creature comforts is more than made up for in the sheer proximity to all of nature. During the warm summer months, there’s a small in-ground pool on-site, which sits right in front of the main office. All of the standard camping surround-sound elements are here from fire rings and picnic tables to water, electrical (50 / 30 / 20 / 15 amp) and sewer hook-ups. In all, there’s about 100 sites here at Pilgrims Campground, with the lion’s share of this pet-friendly property dedicated to overnight and seasonal RV / 5th Wheelers offering both back-in and pull-through sites. 

    Insider’s Tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you don’t mind some rough hiking, there’s fantastic ‘spazierengehen’ to be had just wandering around the countryside in the bountiful corn and bean fields or head over to nearby Dorothy Carnes County Park for some decent trails to explore; (2) In the event that you don’t like being awaken too early from all of the nearby roosters, then bring some ear plugs; (3) When you grow tired of having to forage through either your on-board RV mini-fridge or bear-proof Cordova roto-molded cooler, then look no further than ‘What’s the Point’ (no, seriously, that's the name of the restaurant!) for traditional Midwestern comfort food like corned beef & cabbage, fried fish, BBQ ribs and prime rib; (4) Should you come bearing watercraft and looking for a decent spot to dip your kayak or canoe at, then check out Rose Lake State Natural Area, which BTW is quite small, but very convenient, or try out much larger Red Cedar Lake or Lake Ripley; and (5) Cell coverage and WiFi is pretty horrific in these parts, so bring a booster or plan to leave civilization behind you. 

    Happy Camping!

    Sugar River Forest Preserve

    Beautiful Place to Camp

    We had a great time in this hidden gem.  It is run by the county and was much more than we expected from a county run facility.  We had a very nice cam site that allowed us to pull through with our pop up.  There are very tall trees around the entire campground giving you some respite from the sun and the heat.  The bath house is easily within walking distance from anywhere in the campground.  Many people that we met have been coming back for years (this was our first time there).  They have fire rings and picnic tables and firewood for sale at the entrance.  They allow dogs and the ranger is frequently visible throughout the day.  You are a short distance from the river and the surroundings are wonderful.  You are 20 minutes away from stores and restaurants if you happen to need them and also a short drive to Wisconsin.

    Pilgrims Campground

    Great rates and large sites

    Found this great little campground when I was in a pinch to find a place to put my 45ft fifth wheel. Super friendly staff, rates are reasonable and it is big rig friendly.

    Fireside Campground

    Quiet and friendly RV camping

    This is a RV campground, with both seasonal and weekend sites. Coin laundry and shower room with 4 showers. They have nice level site in a grassy and sandy area, with enough tree coverage for shade but not so much you’re freaking out parking your camper. Big rig friendly. Decent wi-fi and plenty of space on your site. Dog friendly. They have a big playground for kids, and activities. For us, this was a great place for us to easily set up our camper and use it as a base camp for hiking at Governor Dodge, visiting House in the Rock, and tubing on the Pine River. The staff here was super helpful and friendly, and the seasonal campers were all nice and chatty. We have camped at another RV campground in Spring Green that has a party vibe, and this was a more relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely come here again!!

    Fox Hill RV Park & Campground

    Good mix of rv and nature

    We visited for opening weekend during COVID-19, so the park was quiet but open. The staff and owners here were very friendly and extremely helpful when we ran into some snags with setting up camp. We were able to check in online and drive right to our campsite, to get our enjoyment started right away. Our spot, F-2, was right across from the playground and great for my kiddo. Only neighbors to the sides and woods behind. This park has some nature trails, disc golf, and a good size dog run. It’s well kept and maintained. All site are pretty level with gravel pad and logically positioned utilities. The tent loop is more remote, but not a far walk from the park and pool. Pool wasn’t open yet this early in season. We enjoyed our peaceful stay and even booked for Memorial Day weekend as other campgrounds are closed and cancelling reservations. We are happy to have our social distanced camping experience and we’re very happy with Fox Hill. Can’t wait to come back when summer is in full swing! Compared to other campgrounds in the Dells, the price is reasonable for full hookups. It’s also really close to Devils Lake and Mirror State Park, so a perfect spot to have excellent hiking opportunities nearby and be able to quickly access all the yahoo craziness of the Dells area if you need an Olde Time Photo or a water skiing show. If you golf, there’s a 9 hole course next door that is easy to walk to.


Guide to Waunakee

Camping options near Waunakee, Wisconsin range from basic electric sites to full-service RV resorts within a 30-mile radius. The area sits in Wisconsin's Driftless Region at approximately 930 feet elevation, characterized by rolling hills and wetlands created by glacial deposits. Summer temperatures average 75-85°F during peak camping season, with significant rainfall typically occurring in June.

What to do

Disc golf course access: Fox Hill RV Park & Campground offers an on-site disc golf course that complements their other outdoor activities. "There are well kept large outdoor games like chess, connect 4, and checkers," notes a camper who gave the park a 5-star rating.

Swimming options: Multiple water features await at River Bend RV Resort, where camping includes access to extensive aquatic amenities. "Nice swim pond, great pool, fishing…you name it, it's probably here. If you want to have fun, this is the place," explains one reviewer who rated the campground 5 stars.

Golf nearby: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to local golf courses. At Creekview RV Park, "there's a par 3 golf course just adjacent to Creekview, which is a very nice distraction if you're looking for one," according to a recent visitor.

What campers like

Clean bathhouse facilities: Campers consistently mention bathroom cleanliness as a priority at campgrounds near Waunakee. "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," noted one reviewer about Fox Hill RV Park.

Outdoor shower options: Lakeland Camping Resort provides outdoor shower options that campers appreciate. "Showers were nice though. Water on site, not from other campsites. Beach was amazing!!" commented one visitor who appreciated these amenities despite giving the campground a moderate overall rating.

Spacious sites: Site size varies considerably between campgrounds. "We stayed at site B6, which as far as I could tell is the largest site at fox hill. Their store is very large with just about anything you'd need available, including a generous RV supplies section, and alcohol in cans," shared a satisfied camper.

What you should know

Seasonal operation: Most RV parks near Waunakee operate from mid-April through mid-October. At Blackhawk Camping Resort, the season runs "April 11 to October 12," which aligns with typical opening periods for the region.

Weekend activity levels: Weekday and weekend experiences differ dramatically at many campgrounds. "Quiet during week days with more folks coming in for weekend use. Assume it's very active in the summer," observed one Lakeland Camping Resort visitor who stayed during a shoulder season.

Flooding concerns: Some campgrounds experience seasonal flooding issues. "Half of camping sites closed due to flooding. Big sites, not a lot of bugs or critters, electric available, pool but was closed at our visit," reported one Lakeland camper, highlighting how weather can impact facility availability.

Tips for camping with families

Activity-focused campgrounds: For families with children, Arrowhead RV Campground offers extensive recreational options. "Great campground for families with kids and teens. Tons of activities all around the campground. There were outdoor movies, put-put, corn hole, two pools, huge trampoline, volleyball nets, disc golf," detailed one reviewer.

Swimming facilities: Family-friendly swimming areas are particularly important for those camping with children. "The kids loved the blow ops in the pond. The pool was nice, but a bit colder than the pond. It's heated with a solar cover," explained a Fox Hill RV visitor who appreciated the multiple swimming options.

Noise considerations: Some campgrounds near Waunakee have neighboring facilities that create noise. "We found this site through Bring Fido, because we were bringing our pup with us. However, there is a dirt track with racing just adjacent to the campground, so our poor guy was pretty nervous the whole time," cautioned an Arrowhead visitor.

Tips from RVers

Hookup placement: RV campers should be prepared for site layout variations. "The sites are pretty level with gravel pad but bring extension cords for electrical hook ups.... Odd outlet placement," advised one Arrowhead RV Campground visitor who gave the park 4 stars.

Leveling challenges: Be prepared to bring leveling equipment when RV camping near Waunakee. "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," reported a Fox Hill RV Park camper.

Adult-oriented options: Country Roads Motorhome & RV Park caters to adult RVers seeking a quieter experience. "Quiet, all drive-thrus, reasonable rates, very close to the dells, clean bathhouse. We enjoyed our stay close to everything. Walmart and major shopping within a half a mile," noted a satisfied visitor.
