Red Barn Campground & Restaurant

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

On the bluffs above the Mississippi River in the northeastern Iowa town of Lansing, Red Barn Campground and Restaurant brings together a genuine camping experience and a working restaurant operation in a setting that takes full advantage of the scenic drama of the Great River Road. The campground's signature feature is a beautifully converted early-1900s barn that houses the office, arcade, and bar alongside the on-site restaurant—open Thursday through Sunday—serving as a social focal point for guests who find that a good meal at the end of a river day is worth something. With over 100 sites and easy access to the Mississippi just two miles down the road, this is one of the Upper Midwest's more distinctive camping destinations. Sites at Red Barn are primarily grass pull-throughs on level gravel access roads with modern full hookups suited to rigs of most sizes. Mini golf, a playground, and a spacious pavilion give families on-site options, while a trout stream threading through the property provides immediate fishing access without a drive. Sports courts covering basketball, volleyball, foursquare, and dodgeball supply an athletic outlet, and the barn's arcade keeps younger campers occupied on slower afternoons. Boat rentals are available for those who want to make the short trip to the river itself. Walking trails wind through the wooded grounds, and cabins offer a comfortable alternative to tents or rigs for guests who prefer a roof overhead. The Mississippi River bluff country of northeastern Iowa is among the most scenic river landscapes in the Midwest. Lansing sits at the base of dramatic bluffs that rise steeply from the floodplain, and the views from the heights above town extend across the river into Wisconsin. Effigy Mounds National Monument—preserving the earthwork mounds built by Indigenous people along the river corridor over two thousand years—is a short drive north and among the most quietly moving historic sites in the region. The riverfront is excellent for birding, particularly during spring and fall migration when bald eagles, American white pelicans, and waterfowl concentrate along the Mississippi in large numbers. The town of Lansing has the honest character of a small Mississippi River community—local bars, bait shops, and riverside restaurants without the polish of a tourist destination. The wider region stretches toward the Iowa wine and craft beer trail, where small-scale wineries and breweries have established themselves in the Driftless Area's hills. The Great River Road scenic byway—one of the country's oldest designated scenic routes—runs directly through Lansing and connects to river towns in both directions for leisurely day-drive exploration. Wisconsin's river towns and the bluff country of Minnesota's Hiawatha Valley are reachable for those who want to follow the river further. Red Barn operates seasonally and draws a strong local following that supplements destination campers who come specifically for the Mississippi River setting. Weekend reservations are recommended, and summer weekends fill well in advance. Whether you're driving the Great River Road, chasing the Mississippi bass and walleye fishery, or looking for a campground with a genuinely good burger at the end of the day, Red Barn in Lansing makes a strong case for stopping and staying. Book a site and see the river country at its best.

A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a jumping pillow, volleyball, basketball, and a playground filling the grounds. A restaurant and snack bar, game room, and a recreation program of children's activities, themed weekends, and wagon rides give the property genuine family resort energy — this campground has served Grant County's camping community for generations, and the programming reflects that. Pets are welcome. Bagley sits a mile south of the campground in the dramatic river bluff country of Grant County, where Wisconsin's most scenic roads hug the Mississippi on the way toward Prairie du Chien.

Nature’s Touch Campground

35 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

Nature's Touch Campground sits three miles from downtown Wisconsin Dells in a family-owned setting that captures the contrast defining the Dells experience at its most appealing — outdoor natural character in the rocky sandstone gorge landscape of the Wisconsin River corridor, alongside convenient access to one of the most concentrated waterpark and attraction environments in the Midwest. For families making Wisconsin Dells the destination of a summer road trip, the campground's combination of tent sites, cabin rentals, full-hookup RV sites, and an on-site activity calendar positions it as a genuine base camp rather than simply a place to park overnight between park days. Full-hookup RV sites, cabins with various comfort levels, and tent sites give guests accommodation choices appropriate to the full range of Wisconsin camping styles, and the campground's own activity programming — mini-golf, basketball, an arcade, food trucks through the season, a bar, and planned live music — creates the evening social infrastructure that makes staying at camp after a day at the waterparks as enjoyable as the parks themselves. The playground and sports courts serve younger guests while the bar and live music provide the adult atmosphere that extends family campground evenings into genuine social occasions rather than just recovery periods before the next morning's park opening. Rocky Arbor State Park, adjacent to the Wisconsin Dells area, provides the natural counterpoint to the attraction-dense commercial corridor — sandstone bluffs, oak forest, and a trail network through the Wisconsin River's sandstone gorge terrain that delivers the genuinely wild character of the Dells landscape before the twentieth century's tourism development. The Wisconsin River Boat Tours, operating through the original gorge navigation that established the Dells' reputation in the late 19th century, provide a completely different lens on the same sandstone formations that the waterparks and go-kart tracks now surround. Noah's Ark Waterpark, one of the largest outdoor waterparks in the United States and a perennial anchor of the Wisconsin Dells experience, delivers dozens of slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers across its 70-acre complex, with signature rides like the Scorpion's Tail — an enclosed nearly-vertical near-free-fall slide — providing the adrenaline benchmark that every Dells waterpark visit is measured against. The broader Dells attraction corridor includes additional waterparks, family entertainment centers, go-kart facilities, and the miniature golf and mini-racing options that make the Dells one of the most comprehensively programmed family vacation destinations in the upper Midwest. Nature's Touch Campground operates through the Wisconsin Dells summer season, with peak demand running from Memorial Day through Labor Day when the waterparks operate at full capacity and families from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa fill the regional accommodation inventory to near-zero availability on summer weekends. The September shoulder season brings cooler temperatures and dramatically reduced crowds to both the campground and the attractions corridor, offering the rare opportunity to experience the Dells without the summer-peak logistics. Reserve cabins and premium RV sites as early as possible for any July or August weekend — Wisconsin Dells summer inventory is among the most competitive in the upper Midwest.

Dell Pines Campground

141 RV Sites, 13 Cabins

Dell Pines Campground in Baraboo, Wisconsin, offers 141 RV sites and 13 cabins in a pine forest setting in Sauk County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 44 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Six categories cover 30-amp and 50-amp back-ins and pull-throughs in both full-hookup and water-and-electric configurations, with an outdoor pool and mini-golf.

Thirteen cabins round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, dump station, RV storage, boat storage, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a game room, craft room, and snack bar besides. Sports courts, pickleball, tennis, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and corn hole spread across the grounds, with walking trails, a playground, and a pavilion. Planned activities run through the season, and the pine cover makes for good stargazing. Pets are welcome. Baraboo carries a dual identity — historical winter headquarters of the Ringling Brothers circus, and gateway to Devil's Lake State Park's geological splendors. The Wisconsin Dells waterpark corridor is also within striking distance, giving one wooded base an unusual depth of day-trip options. Directions: from I-90/94 take Exit 92 toward Baraboo onto Highway 12, then Exit 214 east on North Reedsburg Road to the stoplight, left north on County Highway BD one mile, left onto Shady Land Road, and three-quarters of a mile on.

Baraboo RV Resort

42 RV Sites, 37 Cabins, 4 Yurts, 1 Tiny House

Positioned in the heart of Wisconsin's most concentrated outdoor and attraction corridor, Baraboo RV Resort gives families immediate access to Devil's Lake State Park, the Wisconsin Dells water park complex, and the historic Circus World Museum—all within a short drive of the campground entrance. The family-owned resort sits on Terrytown Road in West Baraboo, a location that threads between the sandstone quartzite bluffs of Devil's Lake and the resort developments of the Dells without fully belonging to either, resulting in a campground that combines on-site amenities with a quieter, more wooded atmosphere than the densely developed Dells corridor provides on its own. Full-hookup RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections spread across the property alongside cabin rentals, yurt accommodations, a tiny house, and traditional tent sites. A heated pool anchors the warm-weather recreation lineup, and a swimming pond with inflatable play structures, a giant jumping pillow, and a dunk tank provide additional water-based variety beyond a standard pool stay. Mini golf, a basketball court, a game room, and a Snack Shack serving burgers, hot dogs, and seasonal favorites keep families entertained during evenings and weather days. A dedicated dog park serves traveling pet owners who appreciate a safe off-leash area after a day of exploring the Baraboo Hills. Devil's Lake State Park, one of Wisconsin's most visited and most beautiful natural areas, begins just minutes from the campground and surrounds a crystal-clear glacial lake hemmed by 500-foot quartzite bluffs on its north and south sides. The park's trails range from gentle lakeside walks to challenging ridge routes atop the East and West Bluffs, where balanced rock formations and sweeping views across the Baraboo Hills reward hikers who make the climb. The lake's swimming beach and canoe and kayak concession allow guests to approach the bluffs from the water, providing a perspective on the rock faces that no trail can fully replicate. The Wisconsin Dells, just 12 miles north on Highway 12, operates as the self-described water park capital of the world—a dense concentration of indoor and outdoor water parks, go-kart tracks, mini golf venues, and family entertainment options. Circus World Museum in downtown Baraboo preserves the history of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus at the company's original winter headquarters, with live performances and a remarkable collection of antique wagons and circus artifacts that makes it one of Wisconsin's most distinctive cultural institutions. The International Crane Foundation, the world's leading center for crane research and conservation, occupies a campus on the edge of Baraboo and offers guided tours through its active breeding facilities. The resort operates from May through mid-October, capturing the full arc of Wisconsin's outdoor season from spring wildflower bloom through the peak fall foliage period when the Baraboo Hills' maple and oak canopy turns brilliant. Summer holiday weekends fill the resort and the surrounding Devil's Lake trails with crowds—reservations far in advance are essential for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. Shoulder-season visits in May and September offer the Dells and Devil's Lake at a more manageable pace and provide the opportunity to experience the bluff trails and park beach without the summer crowds that define this destination.
