Smokey Hollow Campground

Accessible year-round via paved roads, Smokey Hollow Campground operates as a family-oriented resort with full hookups for RVs up to 50 feet. The facility features multiple loops accommodating both long-term seasonal campers and short-term visitors, with tent sites available alongside RV spots. Several bathhouses serve the property, and campers consistently note their cleanliness across reviews.

The campground centers around a man-made pond with a sand beach area, where inflatable water toys and a jumping blob provide activities for children. Mini-golf, bicycles, and tricycles are available on-site, along with volleyball courts. Staff organizes regular events including chili cook-offs and children's activities, with a water balloon filling station mentioned by visitors. Brian H. describes "beautiful grounds and friendly people."

Reviews emphasize this location's appeal to families with children but note the active, social atmosphere may not suit campers seeking solitude. The beach area includes a bar and DJ entertainment during peak times. Cabins and yurts supplement traditional camping options, though some beach cabin guests report access challenges due to sandy terrain and distance from parking areas.

For quieter alternatives, campers can explore Sky High Camping Resort to the north.

Many campers appreciated the extensive family activities and friendly staff at this resort-style campground. However, visitors often highlighted the party atmosphere makes it unsuitable for those seeking quiet camping.

Mixed feelings

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!

Wonderful 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!

Way too crazy busy

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.

Party resort camping

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.

It's all about the stuff

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!
