Lake Joy Campground

30 RV Sites, 57 Tent Sites

Lake Joy Campground in Belmont, Wisconsin, offers 30 RV sites and 57 tent sites on a 60-acre private spring-fed lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Lakefront and lake view 30-amp categories join a 30/50-amp tier and a shower house group pull-through, with a pool, beach, and boat ramp. Thirty sites span 30/50-amp, 30-amp lakefront, 30-amp lake view, and pull-thru 30-amp shower house group categories, carrying water and electric, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Accessible sites are available, and the group category is worth knowing about if you travel with a caravan. Fifty-seven tent sites make this overwhelmingly a tent property. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a boat ramp opening the lake for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and inflatable water toys. A game room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, ping pong, walking trails, biking, a playground, and picnicking fill the rest. The property operates as a wedding venue. Sixty acres of clear spring-fed water surrounded by nothing but countryside is the whole proposition, in the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead.

A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. You can lock a specific site during booking — it shows as locked on the reservation grid.

Pecatonica River Trails Park

30 RV Sites

Pecatonica River Trails Park in Darlington, WI, offers 26 back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 84 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each with a fire pit and picnic table. This is a municipal campground rather than a resort, so plan on the on-site dump station and confirm water availability at your site when you reserve. The park is rated big rig friendly, and at 84 feet it will take a longer rig than most parks its size. A bathhouse with showers and a community fire pit are on site, and pets are welcome. One rule worth knowing: no one may camp or leave a unit in the campground more than 14 days in any 21-day period. The Pecatonica River runs along the park with a fishing pier, walking trails, a playground, and a basketball court, and the surrounding country is good for hiking, biking, paddling, horseback riding, swimming, and birding, with off-road riding nearby. Darlington sits in Lafayette County in southwest Wisconsin's Driftless Area, the ridge-and-coulee terrain the last ice age never flattened. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Note the 14-day limit when planning a longer stay.

Six tent sites and glamping tents round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The campground operates May through October, with full-season and daily sites both available. The lake carries the recreation. A boat ramp gives direct access for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming, with an outdoor pool alongside.

Pets are welcome. Ten minutes from Wisconsin Dells is the practical sweet spot — close enough to reach the Waterpark Capital of the World and all its indoor and outdoor attractions in a short drive, far enough that the lakefront setting stays quiet at the end of the day. Lake Mason is one of central Wisconsin's more underrated waters, and the Wisconsin River, Devil's Lake, and Baraboo are all within range. The season runs May through October, with summer the clear peak. Reserve well ahead for July and August weekends.

Deep Lake Campground

3 RV Sites

Deep Lake Campground in Oxford, WI, offers 3 full-hookup RV sites with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-thru layouts. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Cabins are available for guests without a rig, and WiFi covers the property. Pets are welcome. Three RV sites on a natural lake is the whole idea. A beach and direct lake access support swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding, with no crowd and no schedule. Oxford sits in central Wisconsin's lake country, fifteen minutes from the waterslides and attractions of Wisconsin Dells — which makes Deep Lake the quiet alternative for anyone who wants the Dells nearby rather than underfoot. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Three sites fifteen minutes from the Dells means summer books out immediately.

33 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

Red Barn Campground & Restaurant in Lansing, IA, offers 36 RV sites, 2 cabins, and 10 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 100 feet.

Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. At 100 feet the pull-throughs take the longest coaches. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, firewood, a dump station, a barn, and an actual working restaurant cover the rest — the kitchen is part of the appeal, not an afterthought. Pets are welcome. Mini-golf, a beach, boat rentals, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, a playground, river frontage, and walking trails fill the grounds, with swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, and birding.

Sweet Minihaha Campground

26 RV Sites, 50 Tent Sites

Sweet Minihaha Campground in Brodhead, Wisconsin, is a riverside family campground with RV and tent sites on the Sugar River, and kayak rentals available on site. Sites accommodate rigs up to 27 feet, which makes this a better fit for smaller trailers and vans than for big coaches. The campground sits in Green County on US-14, about an hour south of Madison. RV sites take rigs to 27 feet, and tent sites serve campers who want the riverbank without hauling a trailer. Facilities are deliberately simple: bathrooms on site, firewood available, and recycling provided. Guests who need full hookups or extensive infrastructure should note that this is a riverside campground rather than a resort, and it is priced and equipped accordingly. The Sugar River is the reason to come. Kayak rentals are available on site, and the river's flatwater character makes it forgiving for paddlers of any experience level — a genuine advantage over the faster Wisconsin rivers to the north. Fishing and canoeing round out the water recreation. The Sugar River State Trail, a 23-mile rail-trail crossing five historic river bridges between New Glarus and Brodhead, runs close by for cyclists and, in winter, cross-country skiers. Pets are welcome. New Glarus is nine miles north on WI-69 — the most authentically Swiss village in the Midwest, founded in 1845, home to the New Glarus Brewing Company and the Wilhelm Tell outdoor drama each September. Monroe, 14 miles southwest, is the Swiss cheese capital of the United States and hosts Cheese Days in even-numbered years. Sweet Minihaha runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Summer river recreation and rail-trail cycling drive peak demand, and the fall cheese-country touring season follows through October and November. Reserve ahead for summer weekends and for the Wilhelm Tell and Cheese Days event dates.

Memorial Day through Labor Day is the peak. Reserve well ahead.
