Very clean well kept campground. large sites. 5 stars! However with no sewer hook up and no pool, 4 stars! There is a swimming pond, but adults like clean swimming pools. Final note is the nuisance charges of early check ins fees, shower fees. and daily internet fees. Rate not cheap at $65 per night. 3 Stars! They should try to include nuisance fees into the daily rates, or eliminate them. The use of Shower timers (without the fee) would control hot water usage, and from being left on.

First time for my family to camp at this campground. We were with friends that had been there before and recommended this campground so we went camping there with them. Very clean campground friendly people. Nice sites. Would go again.

We stayed here for a month and loved it. Chris and Allison were amazing hosts. This park is very family friendly. There is a beautiful lake to swim in and it has a giant floating island in the middle the kids just loved. They keep the park very clean and organized. In spite there is no sewer connections they pumped us out twice a week. There are tons of activities and golf cart rentals. It's easy on and off the highway.

We stopped on a whim and loved it. It was peaceful and quiet. Such a good night sleep. The host, Chris was great and accompanied our 36 foot motorhome as well as have us a great site where we didn't even have to unhook our tow. If we are ever in the area again, we will stop for sure. We highly recommend.

We have been to Badgerland several times now and we are really glad we found this gem. Chris and Ally are wonderful hosts. The campground is pristine, the sites are spacious and the bathrooms are spotless. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.
