    Ottawa Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest-Southern Unit

    Enjoying Ottawa Lake Campground

    We've camped here before and like it. The sites are spacious and most seem to have shade for at least part of the day. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Ours had a grill the folded in and out, not sure if all have it. The beach is great, open and lots of room to set up for the day either on the grass or sand. There are flush toilets at the beach. There are rentable pavilions. We didn't see any garbage bins nearby so bring a trash bag to carry out. The showers are hot but that's the best thing about them. They're not very big and don't have a curtain to separate changing area and shower. With 2 kids, things tend to get a little wet. However, they get the job done. We love the location. Close to hiking: Scuppernong Trail on the Ice Age Trail and Scuppernong Spring Nature Trail and a few others. Close to shopping and restaurants, if needed. Only downside to our site was the highway (CR-ZZ) was on the other side of the trees and busy. All said, we'll most likely be back again.

    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.

    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!

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Fort Atkinson

    Wonderfully clean family campground

    My husband and I plus our 3 kids stayed in a rustic cabin. The cabin was exactly how it was described and thankfully so! Since it had air-conditioning we all slept great. The grounds itself was very clean, the portable toilets were cleaned twice a day. There were many activities for all ages both for a small fee and free. Our kids used the pools quite a lot and were a bit disappointed with the skatepark. They enjoyed all the airfilled bouncy activities.

    Fox Hill RV Park & Campground

    New sites vs old sites

    This is our second stay here as RV campers. We stayed for 3 nights over the Memorial Day weekend, and it was packed with campers. There are 2 main sections of the campground: the new part that is all full hook-up RV sites and the older part which is a mix of W/E and S/W/E. The new section will be a lot better next year, but *just* finished construction and it is still a wide open area. It was dusty and hot because the grass isn't gown in yet, there's still a ton of sand, and no trees. So the new sites currently have little to no shade (see pictures). If you have a big rig and need pull through with full hook up, it may be worth it. We chose to get a smaller campsite with just W/E because there are trees and shade, and it just feels a little more like camping. Also have spots for hanging hammocks, and some sites are positioned well for groups.

    Despite the very crowded campground, the 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. The pool was also open, and warm enough to swim in. They also had some fun activities for the kids, but it was a challenge to maintain safe distancing with all of the interested people.

    I think this is a great campground for families that want some of the nicer amenities (pool, rental bikes, games, etc) that the nearby state parks are lacking. It's our preferred campground to use as base camp for hiking and exploring nearby. You're only a 10 min drive from the Dells, but you have the fee of an up north campground. The owners are super helpful and nice. Once the  new area fills in with grass and some shade trees, this place will be 5 stars in my book. Did I mention there are 2 dog play areas? Really well kept and a wonderful touch.

    Ottawa Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest-Southern Unit

    Large wooded sites- near loud road

    The campground is well kept with several bathrooms and showers. We have a 30ft travel trailer, and it was easy to maneuver around the campground. We did have to wait in line to fill the water tank, but the water pressure was good and it didn’t take too long. We stayed at site 327e, which was very easy to back in to and was mostly level. Easy access to electrical and plenty of space for slide outs. A nice big fire pit with large flat grate for cooking, one of the best set ups I’ve seen. Would be perfect, but there’s a loud highway WI-67 traffic about 20 ft from the campsite. Tons of loud motorcycles and trucks with constant traffic. If you want solitude I would avoid sites 305e-328e, all of the odd number sites back up to the road. Evens, except for 328e, are inside and are better. Video shows traffic and noise. I would come back, but pick a site inside the campground and away from highway.

    Yogi Bear TM Camp-Resort & Waterplayground

    A blast for the kids!

    We camped on site 120, a “red carpet” site which means full hooks ups, grill, fire pit, cement slab, 2 wrist bands to do the activities and 2 welcome drinks. I used to come here as a kid and the park still looks very similar still- nostalgic for sure! But they’ve definitely made some upgrades to the pool- which has a slide a separate hot tub and a separate kids area. The roads are wide enough, but very narrow. We are a 33.6 ft rig so navigating around parked cars was a challenge as people had their vehicles right to the road. TIP: the site markers come out of the ground so if you need to, remove it so you can get in. There is TONS OF STUFF for kids to do here!!! It was Halloween theme weekend so there was trick or treating, a haunted house, dance party… lots of stuff. My fav thing as an adult is the “Hey ride!” They pile people onto a trailer turned wagon and drive around the park and yell “HEEEEEYYYYYYYYY” to every person they see!!! (Don’t forget to say “Hey!” back and wave! 🙂) it’s so fun to see the kids on that thing! They also do ceramics and have a wonderful selection of food at the Pool (as well as a wonderfully stocked bar.) They do Yogi Bear Cartoons each night which is neat! The rent golf carts by 30 minutes but the park isn’t giant, you don’t really need a cart unless it’s for the hills. If you go to the boat area- take your vehicle if you don’t want a work out on the way back up.

    Sherwood Forest Camping and RV Park

    Traditional campground in need of upgrades

    Sherwood Forest Campground is a long time family run campground in an excellent location for enjoying all that the Wisconsin Dells has to offer. Our site had 50 amp electric, water and sewer connections. We were situated on the upper ridge of the campground, furthest from the office/camp store and swimming pool. Our showers were very disappointing. The shower stall had a single stackable plastic lawn chair and a curtain. No mirror, no towel bar or hook, no shelf or caddy in the shower for toiletries. To operate the shower, one must push in the valve, hope the water is a suitable temperature, and repeat after about 20 seconds, or keep pushing while performing your ablutions one handed. The swimming pool, while advertised as heated to 80 degrees, was not heated at all. There is a fairly complete camp store, a splash pad for kids, a game room and laundry available. Some seasonal sites are also available.


Guide to Windsor

Wisconsin's Windsor area offers rustic to fully-serviced camping experiences within 20-30 minutes of Madison. The region features glacial terrain with kettle lakes and eskers, creating diverse camping landscapes between 850-900 feet elevation. Winter temperatures can drop below zero while summer camping season typically runs May through October with daytime highs averaging 75-85°F.

What to do

Lake activities at Lake Kegonsa State Park: The park offers a dog-friendly beach area separate from the main swimming beach. "There is a beach & pet swim area. Very nice hiking trails right from campground. Lake & pet swim area," notes reviewer Kathy L. The park maintains multiple beaches for different uses.

Fox River kayaking from Indian Trails: Seasonal paddling options with transportation service. "They do kayaking or canoeing down the fox river. They will drop you off and pick you up," explains Mikala D. The campground provides equipment rentals and shuttle service for river trips.

Explore trails at regional parks: Walking paths range from short loops to interconnected systems. "There were also multiple trails scattered throughout the park. Everything from a quick half mile trek to loops that allow you to put on a couple of miles," shares Lisa S. about Lake Kegonsa State Park. Most trails are well-maintained even after rain.

Off-season camping at Sky High: Unique winter camping options for cold-weather adventurers. The campground operates year-round, as one visitor confirms: "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."

What campers like

Spacious sites with privacy: Many campgrounds offer good separation between campsites. "Clean facilities, friendly staff, and great trails. No bugs!" notes Brendan E. about Lake Kegonsa State Park. The park features wooded sites with natural screening.

On-site food options: Several campgrounds have restaurants or food service. "Along with them looking brand new. We fell in love with this camp and will be back for sure," writes David H. about Indian Trails Campground, where campers enjoy fresh donuts on Sunday mornings.

Water features beyond swimming: Many properties offer fishing ponds separate from swimming areas. "Plenty of things to do for kids they have quite a few little playgrounds all around the campground along with their indoor and outdoor swimming pools," explains David H. Multiple water options accommodate different activities simultaneously.

Organized weekend activities: Themed weekends add structured entertainment. "We did not spend a lot of time at the campground since we were there for the Dells on a long trip from Atlanta, GA to Duluth, MN. The kids did have a blast in the pond," reports Jeffrey S. about Duck Creek Campground.

What you should know

Train noise at some locations: Railroad crossings near some campgrounds cause nighttime noise. "The campground is somewhat close to the interstate and rural highway roads so there is some traffic noise but relatively quiet by night time. What was NOT quiet on Thursday night was the freight train that came through around midnight and then again at 2 am," warns Lisa S.

RV height restrictions: Low clearance points exist at some parks. "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," cautions Kathy L.

Crowding during peak times: Popular amenities get busy during weekends. "This is a private 'resort' type campground with something for everyone, except peace and quiet and privacy," explains Annie C. about Pride of America. Some reviewers recommend weekday stays for more relaxed experiences.

Water quality varies by location: Swimming options range from natural to constructed. "The pedestrian beach is to rocky for my liking, but the dog beach is nice and sandy yet small. There is also a bit of a hike to get there. So if you take a cooler you may want a wagon," advises Ted W. about Lake Kegonsa State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Site selection matters: Choose locations based on amenities and noise levels. "We are actually having a blast at this Campground campsites are located right next to the playground so we can watch the kids from the campsite," shares Sarah C. about Duck Creek Campground.

Pack for water activities: Many glamping options include water features requiring appropriate gear. "The kids were thrilled with the heated pool that even has a waterfall, the playgrounds, gaga ball, arcade, and weekend rides like the barrel train and hayrack. In short, there was always something to keep them entertained while I could actually relax," describes Maria Mercedes M.

Consider specialized weekends: Theme weekends provide extra entertainment for children. "Love Halloween camping," says Justin about Indian Trails Campground, while another reviewer notes: "I think many of the locals know the bugs are bad and leave it for those of us from out of state to get eaten alive."

Plan for weather variables: Prepare for temperature changes and insects. "There were free showers, flush toilets and running water in the bathrooms. This was nice, however, the mosquitos were in there too!" reports Melissa K. Bug spray is essential during summer months.

Tips from RVers

Access considerations: Some campgrounds have tight turns or limited space. "The sites we were in were a little narrow to back in a 30ft camper. The pictures of the site did not show this," warns Ted W. about Lake Kegonsa State Park.

Full-hookup options: Many locations offer premium services. "We were in sites#13 and couldn't be happier with our choice. I had done a drive through before reserving the site on the state camping website so I knew which ones would work for us," explains Lisa S. about Lake Kegonsa State Park.

Premium site costs: Better sites often require additional fees. "They do allow you to pick your site if your willing to pay $10 extra," notes Marc W. about Milton KOA. Some campgrounds charge premium rates for weekend stays or holiday periods.

Seasonal availability: Some campgrounds close during winter. "Love this campground! Great facilities and a dumping station. No hookups but the area cannot be beat. This is our favorite boondock spot," shares Abby W. about Crystal Lake Campground, which operates from April to October.
