Peaceful

We only got to stay one night here. The spaces seem close to neighbors but our site was pretty large in the back. Easy to back into. Really quiet and the lake views are serene. Nice little playground too. The site managers were really friendly and helpful. I would love to come back so we could enjoy the site more!

Small site, great indoor pool!

The RV sites are small.. if you have a neighbor with a slide out then you lose half of your green space. That's a big drawback. It does seem like that people only stay here one night as they head on to other destinations.

They do have a larger community grilling and firepit space which we used with other group members which worked great. We stayed Thurs-Sun and no one really utilized the area.

The indoor pool is so nice! It's a saltwater pool and they have a separate hot tub. It was not crowded the time we went but I'm sure it can get busy (maybe more in winter since it's indoors).

This is also a hotel and I have seen at least 2 of the different rooms offered. The family suite is large (but dated). Has a small private balcony overlooking woods and you can sit out front to see the lake from afar.

I also saw the dog friendly Lakeview rooms which had two queens. They were nicely sized but definitely dated. Those had nice wood flooring (laminate I think) no carpet.

They have rooms right off the pool room too which I'm sure here activities at the pool. It would be nice to quickly see when no one is there haha.

Overall, the campground is more suitable for those getting rooms than for the campers. Also, it's right off a busy road so you hear the cars all night long… occasionally a wave sound comes through!

Small and quiet

Only 10 RV spots, 9 have electric and water hook ups (which is what we had). It was awesome backing into the spot as there is ample asphalt in front of all the sites. The lake is peaceful. To dump afterward was OK to get in but it is a tighter fit and that's the reason for the 4 stars. It would be nice if you could pull through to dump but you have to back in. We stayed here as an overnight halfway spot so we really didn't want to hang out in our spot much. The sites are close to one another but it did not bother me.

Beautiful Scenery

We had a river spot and it was gorgeous. I will say that the lots are close to one another and it is not very private but it was pretty hot and we didn't hang outside by the camper much. Most of the time we were at the playground or beach. The river water is ice cold! A shock to the system after 100 degree days haha. Once you just plunge in it is wonderful. The campground is about 20 minutes from Gatlinburg which is a plus to me. Much more quiet and less populated of an area. The landscaping at this campground is gorgeous, they work hard on it for sure. There are big boulders that line the camps roads which were a little obnoxious maneuvering around when backing in but nothing that terrible.

Small and quiet

This is a smaller campground which is why it might be pretty quiet. It is close to the freeway (we could see in our spot) so you hear the road but I don't mind that noise. The pool was well kept and the kids loved the jumping pillow and the little farm on the premises. We only stayed two nights as part of a bigger trip. It seems a lot of the people who stay here just stay a night or two. I would totally stay here again.

Large lots, older facilities and utility hook ups, few amenities

I really enjoyed the large lot we were on that backed up to a creek which you cannot hear or see but it is all forest behind you. We were situated where the seasonal campers are and near the edge of the campground. Then there is a farm field and I saw deer every day which was lovely. Overall, it was a very quiet part of the campground.

They have a small store and an indoor pool which is nice with Wisconsin weather being unpredictable. It was very crowded on the shallower side and the slide goes into the shallow side as well which makes it very crowded and splashy. I found my time in the pool awesome when there was no one or families whi watch their kids and are just calmer. When big hoards showed up it was a very annoying experience. There's barely seating and it was really dark in the room.

They pride their grass, as they should because it is nice, but the roads in campground were all very narrow so we had to drive on it if a car was coming. If they could widen the roads a bit it would be helpful for driving as well as save their grass more. Similar to their entry, pretty narrow. If their entry was one way and had a different exit it would be helpful.

Overall, the staff was helpful and it was a very pretty campground with friendly seasonal folks. We didn't really interact with any one on the other side of the grounds.

As I said, if they could widen the roads, make a separate exit, add more amenities like theme activities for kids, and make the pool area less dark and move the slide to the deeper end or even 4ft area it would be 5 stars.

Peaceful, large lots

This Campground was spacious and quiet. We camped in April so it wasn't as crowded but I can imagine in summer this is a popular destination with the large lake. Lots of nice hiking trails. The water was still turned off since it was the off season so we didn't look at any of the facilities but everything seemed well maintained.

Very peaceful and private

I was surprised that each site is pretty wooded making you feel like you don't have neighbors. The surrounding area is just expansive farmlands which is beautiful to look at when walking the dog in the morning.

They have fun kid things but you have to pay extra to use them. They have a free playground (old school looking, lots of metal haha) that my kids had a lot of fun on so that's good. It also is too rainy to use the fun have-to-pay park which includes these huge pillows that kids can jump on. They also have a trampoline basketball activity and a more updated jungle gym.

The pool seemed small for the campground size but we haven't used it due to the rain so it was just a visual observation.

Impatient Campers

The site we stayed at this time was kind of hard to get in. The site was wide (which is nice) but when backing in you are in a 3 way intersection. One road is supposed to be one way but NO ONE follows this rule and there's not proper signage. Due to that, we had 5-10 cars/golf carts going by as we tried to maneuver into our spot and they did not wait at all. The second they had barely space they drove through which was distracting and dangerous. Going out was the same thing except it was extremely easy to pull out of the site as opposed to back in and get close to the water/electric.

The low rating is for the clientele there. They cut you in line and act as if they are superior to us which was really annoying. We have stayed here before and it's always the same kind of people. I know the campground isn't responsible but they flock to this place!

It's a really hilly campground so keep that in mind that you will be walking up lots of hills (I don't mind that and it makes the campground really pretty).

We didn't go swimming this weekend because it was a bit chilly but they have a pool and a beach on the river where you can swim too.

Home base but nothing more

It was quiet and a good home base.

The pool was dirty and my daughter got a chlorine rash from it. They also recently caulked the pool and it was washing off into the pool. Other kids had caulk on theur faces. There are only 2-3 chairs around the pool so bring your own.

We stayed in a medium cabin which was perfect for us. Clean but the decks needed some TLC as they had a lot of peeling paint.

They had a playground but bigger kids hung out on it the majority of the time and would not move when we asked them to so our kids could use the slide.

Beautiful views and peaceful camping!

Beautiful, spacious, and quiet camping and state park. The hiking is awesome! We hiked the Bluff Trail which has lots of hills and steepness, skinny trail with some drop offs but it was fun! My daughter was a little nervous during the hike but I felt safe so nothing to worry about. Just take your time.

The lady at the snack shack was so helpful and friendly as well. You can ask for a volleyball, basketball or tennis rackets at the shack as well as buy firewood and souvenirs.

Our site was peaceful but next time we are getting a site in the ridge campground because those scenic views are amazing!

Great Location

This campground fills up fast due to how close it is to the Dells so plan ahead. Also, the spots seem to be mostly seasonal spots so that makes it harder to get in as well.

Close to Dells strip, has a great spot to swim with big inflatables for kids to climb on.

The site was nice, a pull through but not part of their newer sites that are all paved so it's closer to the pool. Kids had a blast here and we already booked to go again this year! Helps that we know someone me who has a seasonal spot.

Very Quiet and Serene

Very quiet and private sites. Lots of hiking that you can walk to from campground. I really liked going into the tower to see the views.

We went later in the year and the ice cream shop was closed. Not a whole lot to do nearby but that's ok for a quick nature escape!

We also went to the Cave of the Mounds and the kids still talk about that to this day. They had a lot of fun!

Scenic Hikes, Quiet Camping

I really enjoyed our stay here. We booked the month before we went so spots were limited and we were stuck in group camping which is very open. I prefer state parks because usually every site is surrounded by trees and feels like you are alone in the woods. That was my fault for booking so late in the season. I was impressed at how quiet the camping was being in the more open, communal, group camping!

The trees were turning colors and the hiking was beautiful. It's very busy on the hikes here being so close to the Dells so I would encourage early hikes!

Big Sites but Close to a Busier Road

It was nice and I really liked how large the campsites were. Kids had a place to run around and I didn't feel like they were encroaching on other people's sites. We were up against the forest and they could play in there too.

Beyond the little forest was a busy road which kept my husband up. He didn't feel it was very safe and that anyone could walk into our site from the road. No one did but that thought kept him up.

We bought wood from their store and had to use a lot to get a good fire going. It was protected wood and didnt feel damp but it was not catching very well.

We enjoyed the hiking in this park but had to drive to it. Keep that in mind if you've got little kids.

Get A Water View Site!

We went here in 2020 so the amenities were closed and I cannot review that.

The road to get to our water view site (69) was narrow and tricky with the camper but it was worth it for that peaceful view!

There was one night where a bunch of rowdy folks camped and threw their beer cans and trash in the river. We kept seeing it float by. I wasn't a fan of that but they left the next day so most nights were peaceful, calm and you could hear the river.
