Smokey Hollow Campground

We recently stayed here and I have mixed feelings.  From start to finish it seems as if high school kids are the only people working there.  With that being said they did pretty well.  We stayed at one of the beach cabins and I would 0/10 recommend.  There is no parking near these cabins (not close enough) which may not seem like a big deal until you have to carry all of your stuff through scorching hot sand to get to said cabins.  They really need to consider building a path behind these for access.  The porta potties they have are so vile I used one once and was dry heaving the entire time, they really should invest in building a few more bath houses over those.  The amount of stuff for kids to do was great.  I just would for sure not recommend this campground to anyone wanting peace and quiet because it’s very much a family fun place!

A great place for multiple families to camp! Went camping here as a kid all the time and they always have more than just your average campground! Highly recommend for a weekend in the summer or early fall!

This would be a great place for families with kids. So much for the kids to do. Had a DJ at the beach for parents enjoyment. For empty nesters we couldn’t take it and left after one night.

This is a private “resort” type campground with something for everyone, except peace and quiet and privacy. This is a mostly RV campground with a handful of tent sites wedged in almost as an afterthought. I stopped in and talked with the campground personnel for a while before getting a tour of grounds. There are several loops with lots of long term campers/RVers. There were some cute cabins and even yurts. Behind the office was a large pond with a sand beach, lots of blow up pool toys, a bar, and volleyball, plus there are trikes and bikes available after you play mini-golf. There was an extensive calendar of events for the campers to enjoy including a chili cook-off and activities just for the kiddos (including a water ballon filling station!). This is the place to go if you are looking for a party type campground. Be careful when you arrive and drive to your site as kids are running around and riding their bikes everywhere! The campground has several bath houses scattered between the loops and all were kept very clean.

This is a nice out of the way place with a bunch of activities, but is just a hair below some of the other area campgrounds. the pool toys would benefit from. a good cleaning as there was some slime on the inside of some of the inflatables, but really that's the only meh we could find. beautiful grounds and friendly people.

Love that this campground is less than an hour from Madison! Awesome place to bring the kids for a day, or the whole week! Man - made pond with inflatable structures, a jumpy blob for the kids to jump on & lots of other activities! We go every year!
