Hayward KOA
Overview
The Hayward KOA Holiday serves as a quintessential basecamp for those looking to experience the rugged beauty of Northern Wisconsin. Nestled within the thick pine forests that define the region, this park transitions seamlessly from a quiet retreat to a bustling family resort during the peak summer months. It offers a classic Northwoods camping atmosphere where the scent of pine needles and the sound of crackling campfires set the stage for a memorable outdoor adventure. Whether you are traveling in a massive big rig or a cozy camper van, the park provides a well-organized layout that balances convenience with the natural landscape.
Location & Surroundings
Located just a short drive from the historic downtown area of Hayward, this park is positioned near the scenic Namekagon River, a protected waterway perfect for tubing and canoeing. The surrounding geography is defined by the vast Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, providing miles of canopy-covered roads and trails. The park itself is heavily wooded, ensuring that many sites offer significant shade and a sense of privacy often missing from more open RV resorts. It is a prime location for those who want to feel immersed in nature without sacrificing proximity to local services.
Amenities & Park Features
The standout feature of this destination is undoubtedly its 300-foot waterslide and heated outdoor pool, which provide hours of entertainment for guests of all ages. For those traveling with pets, the dedicated KampK9 dog park offers a fenced space for exercise and socialization. The facility caters to modern RVers with Deluxe Patio Sites that include upgraded furniture and fire rings, while standard full-hookup sites provide reliable service and easy access. On-site recreation also includes mini-golf, a jumping pillow, and a planned schedule of weekend activities during the summer season.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Hayward is famous for its outdoor heritage, and guests are only minutes away from the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame, home to the iconic giant musky structure. Trail enthusiasts will appreciate being near the CAMBA mountain bike trails, which offer world-class riding through the Wisconsin woods. Local lakes provide endless opportunities for musky and walleye fishing, while the nearby Wilderness Walk Zoo is a favorite for families looking to see native wildlife up close. The area is also host to legendary events like the Lumberjack World Championships.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal match for active families who appreciate a resort-style environment with plenty of on-site activities to keep children engaged. It also appeals strongly to outdoor enthusiasts and anglers who want to explore the legendary lakes and rivers of Sawyer County while having a comfortable, full-service home base to return to. If you are looking for a social atmosphere that celebrates the spirit of the Wisconsin Northwoods, the Hayward KOA Holiday offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities.

It was fun. It was more of camping. The pool, and other activities were closed for the season. We did do the rocks and the blob. Nice place! One thing they need to do is get the main bathroom and showers fixed. The toilets were not working.

Great spot to bring the kids. The deluxe tent sites need some grading. We woke up and realized there was a bit of a low spot where we had our tent so we had some water under our air mattress. But the kids loved all the things to do! Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great KOA that is well kept! The sisters that run the place are nice women. I loved our site and the big outdoor kitchen area. The only thing I didn’t like is that they charged us an extra night. I think she misunderstood me when I said “we got in late last night”. I meant into the area, not to the campground.

Beautiful clean campground. Staff are friendly and helpful. Tall pines and a nice restaurant with pizza, burgers and ice-cream. We have been here camping several times over the years. The only problem was some guys were playing corn hole after 11pm,(quiet time on weekends),but security was quickly on the scene and the guys stopped. The rest of the night was peaceful.

We've been going here, a couple times a year, for the last 4 years. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. They keep a VERY clean campground! The amenities are enjoyed by our 2 girls. Everything from the pool, waterside, mini-golf, Red Pine Lodge and the river tubing. I HIGHLY recommend this campsite for any family with kids.
