Boulder Creek Campground

67 RV Sites

Boulder Creek Campground in Bagley, Wisconsin, offers 67 RV sites in a valley carved into the limestone and sandstone bluffs of the Great River Road corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Water-and-electric and full-hookup categories join an outdoor pool, mini-golf, and a jumping pillow. Sixty-seven sites run in 20/30-amp water-and-electric, 50-amp water-and-electric pull-through, and 20/30-amp water-electric-and-sewer categories, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Check the category carefully — not all sites carry sewer, and a dump station serves those that do not. Cabin rentals round out the accommodations. 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. The Great River Road corridor and the ancient bluffs frame the whole area. Summer is decisively the season along the Mississippi. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Buffalo Lake Camping Resort

47 RV Sites

Buffalo Lake Camping Resort in Montello, WI, offers 47 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. The resort publishes four site categories — standard, plus, premium back-in, and premium pull-through — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with a fire pit and picnic table; confirm which layout you're booking when you reserve. The resort is rated big rig friendly and takes rigs up to 70 feet. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and cabins cover the rest. The resort sits within city limits, which means services are genuinely close. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, an arcade, a boat ramp, boat docks, boat and kayak rentals, bike rentals, a pavilion, a playground, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with fishing, boating, paddling, swimming, and biking on Buffalo Lake. Montello is the Marquette County seat and the birthplace of John Muir, whose formative years in this glacially sculpted lake country shaped the conservation thinking that eventually protected Yosemite. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Premium pull-throughs book first.

Dell Pines Campground

141 RV Sites, 13 Cabins

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.

Glacier Valley Campground

Glacier Valley Campground in Scott, Wisconsin brings the rolling agricultural landscape of Columbia County together with the recreational appeal of a well-appointed private campground — the name itself reflecting the glacial terrain that sculpted central Wisconsin's characteristic pattern of lakes, drumlins, and moraines. Named for the landforms left by the last glacial advance through the region, Glacier Valley provides a genuine outdoor retreat in a quiet corner of Wisconsin known for its countryside character and community traditions. The campground's amenities include a lined swimming pond — the summer social centerpiece — alongside mini golf, disc golf, hiking trails, a playground, pavilion, bath house, and a camp store. All RV sites include water and electric hookups, the campground is pet-friendly throughout, and free WiFi keeps guests connected when the day's outdoor agenda allows. Glacier valley campground's combination of lake and land recreation gives it the character of a full-weekend destination rather than simply an overnight stop in central Wisconsin. The open, well-maintained grounds reflect the care of a family-operated property invested in its reputation across the region. The Columbia County countryside surrounding Glacier Valley is classic Wisconsin pastoral terrain — gently rolling fields, dairy farms, and the quiet beauty of a landscape that has maintained its agricultural identity through generations of farm families. The campground's position in the southern part of Wisconsin's lake country connects guests to the broader recreational geography of the region, where lakes, trails, and Amish country communities spread across the landscape in every direction. The 400 State Trail, a paved multi-use trail converted from a former railroad corridor, offers scenic cycling and walking through the Wisconsin countryside for guests who want to explore the region under their own power. Beaver Dam Lake, a short drive from camp, provides boating, fishing, and swimming on one of Columbia County's most popular recreational lakes. Amish shops and bakeries scattered through the surrounding countryside offer freshly baked goods, handmade furniture, and a genuine cultural encounter with Wisconsin's Plain community. The Portage Country Club provides a well-regarded golf option for guests who want to mix fairways with campfire evenings. Glacier Valley Campground's season runs through the Wisconsin warm-weather months, with summer weekends and family vacation weeks representing peak demand. The campground's central Wisconsin location puts it within reach of Madison's urban offerings to the south and the Wisconsin Dells water park corridor to the northwest, expanding the day-trip possibilities for guests who build a longer stay around the campground's comfortable and affordable base.

Lantern DeForest RV Resort

64 RV Sites

Lantern DeForest RV Resort in Wisconsin offers 64 full-hookup pull-through RV sites eight miles north of Madison, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 83 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Premium and standard pull-through categories mean no backing at any site, with an outdoor pool, game room, sports courts, and walking trails. Sixty-four sites run in pull-through and premium pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 83 feet, with picnic tables. An all-pull-through layout at 83 feet is a genuinely practical combination — no backing after a long driving day, and room for the longest coaches with a tow. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and recycling handle the practical side. Mention a late checkout at check-in and staff will accommodate it where the site is not turning over. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a game room, sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and picnicking filling the grounds. A lake, river, golf course, and wine and beer tasting are all nearby. Pets are welcome. Madison is eight miles south, and it rewards the trip — the University of Wisconsin's flagship campus, the State Capitol, State Street's independent shops and restaurants, and a 17,000-acre urban lake system centered on Mendota and Monona make it one of the most livable mid-sized cities in the country. Summer and Badger football weekends drive demand. Reserve well ahead for both.

from $82/night

Split Ridge Campground

10 RV Sites

Split Ridge Campground near Lake Holcombe, Wisconsin, offers 10 full-hookup RV sites in Chippewa County's lake and forest country, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Back-in and pop-up/tent categories join a beach, pond, pavilion, walking trails, and playground. Ten sites run in back-in and pop-up/tent categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits. One thing to check before booking: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A beach and pond anchor the recreation, with swimming, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and pavilion filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Directions from the north: from Highway 27 turn left onto County Road D for five miles, right onto County Road G for 2.2 miles, then right onto 295th Avenue and follow it in. Lake Holcombe sits just west — a 3,890-acre flowage on the Chippewa River that produces genuinely good walleye, musky, and panfish, with the kind of quiet northern Wisconsin shoreline that keeps regulars coming back rather than moving on to bigger water. The Chippewa County forest surrounds the area, with the Flambeau River State Forest and the Blue Hills within reach for hiking and ATV riding. Summer is the short, intense season in northern Wisconsin, with the fall fishing runs strong and ice fishing drawing a distinct winter following on the flowage. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends.

from $30/night

Big Rock Creek

15 RV Sites, 3 Glamping Sites, 1 Yurt

Big Rock Creek in Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin, offers 11 RV sites and four glamping sites and yurts on the banks of the St. Croix River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Back-in categories at both amperages join a recreation center, general store, walking trails, playground, and pond. Eleven back-in sites run in 30-amp and 50-amp categories, carrying electric service with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — these are electric sites rather than full hookup, so arrive with full water and empty tanks and confirm dump arrangements when you book. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Four glamping sites and yurts plus cabins round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A recreation center, walking trails, playground, and pond fill the grounds, with the creek and river carrying swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and biking. Pets are welcome. The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway protects this corridor, and it is one of the most pristine paddling and fishing environments in the Midwest — a federally designated Wild and Scenic River with clear water, sandstone bluffs, and a genuinely undeveloped feel despite sitting less than an hour from the Twin Cities. Interstate State Park is minutes away with its glacial potholes and the Dalles of the St. Croix, and Polk County's rolling farm and forest country surrounds the rest. Summer paddling season drives the heaviest demand, with fall color drawing a strong second wave. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends.

from $35/night

An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, a disc golf course, ball field, game room, arcade, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, pickleball, gaga ball, and corn hole filling the grounds.

Thornton's Rafting Resort and Campground

17 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites, 1 Mobile Home, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Thornton's Rafting Resort and Campground in Athelstane, WI, offers 19 RV sites, 5 cabin and mobile home rentals, and 3 tent sites, with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites are back-ins with electric service, site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. These are not full hookups — plan on arriving with water aboard and confirm what's available at your site when you book. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp property, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. At 80 feet, though, the sites take a longer rig than almost anything else in the Northwoods. FSX and Transcend RV rentals are available for guests without a rig, and there's a bathhouse with showers on the property. Pets are welcome. The Peshtigo River's whitewater is the reason the resort exists, with rafting, kayaking, boating, and boat rentals, plus an outdoor pool, on-site dining, walking trails, a lake, and swimming, fishing, hiking, and birding. Athelstane sits in Marinette County in Wisconsin's Northwoods. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Rafting season weekends book first.

from $49/night

SARA Park Campground

10 RV Sites

SARA Park Campground in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, offers 10 full-hookup back-in RV sites on the Wisconsin River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. A single back-in category means every guest gets the same spec, with a public beach, boat ramp, pavilion, playground, and river frontage. Ten back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. One consistent category and no guesswork about what you booked, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — generous for a municipal facility. A dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A beach and boat ramp open the water for boating, fishing, and swimming, with a pavilion, playground, and volleyball filling the rest. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Directions: take Exit 229 on US Highway 51 and head west on State Highway 86 / Somo Avenue; at the four-way stop, continue straight into the park. The City of Tomahawk manages SARA Park as a community facility, which shows in both the pricing and the public recreation on the grounds — the beach and boat ramp serve local residents as much as campers, and the campground is genuinely well equipped for its size. Lincoln County sits in northern Wisconsin's lake and river country, where the Wisconsin River widens through a chain of flowages. Tomahawk, Lake Nokomis, and the Willow Flowage are all close, with the Northwoods' musky fishing and the Ice Age Trail nearby. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Mont du Lac Resort in Superior, WI, offers 20 full-hookup RV sites, 16 cabins, and 13 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come as standard and deluxe back-ins, each carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. One thing to know before you book a cabin: the slope-side cabins are rustic, heated by a wood stove, and do not include indoor plumbing or a kitchen. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, firewood, and on-site dining cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park. The resort runs year-round on a single hillside — a downhill ski and snowboard hub in winter, and a disc golf, mountain biking, and hiking property the rest of the year, with a marina, beach, water park, and walking trails for swimming, boating, fishing, and corn hole. Superior sits on the Wisconsin side of the St. Louis River, overlooking the Duluth-Superior harbor and the western tip of Lake Superior. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Confirm what your cabin includes before booking — the slope-side units are deliberately rustic.
