2nd year as Seasonal. Everyone is so helpful and nice!!! One of the best decisions I've made is to have gotten my seasonal spot!!! From weekend getaways, to family time around the fire, to water battles with the fire truck, to getting breakfast at the office, to leisure rides around the grounds on the golf cart playing music. I love our spot!!! Thanks to all the people at HS that keep it going and for being all around great people!!!

Not my fav campground. Extremely crowded and packed in at the older sites. Many full time homes need to be repaired or torn down. Restrooms, laundry and game room were not clean. However, staff was absolutely amazing; kind, helpful & went out of their way w recommendations and other site issues. The newer section & pool are nice, less cramped and well laid out.

I would hesitate to recommend Holiday Shores. If you can look at the sites before you make a reservation and you only stayed during the week, it would be ok. The place turned into a parking lot that allows tents on the weekend. The sites are not defined. Our neighbors set up their tent a couple feet from our fire ring. (So, no more fires.) Another more permanent neighbor left their dog barking outside all night just a couple of feet from our tent. We called what was listed as a security number, we had to leave a message. That same neighbor's kids walked through our camp site to throw garbage away. We asked, nicely to walk around, within minutes and adult man walked from that camper weaved his way through our camp. We also had a more permanent camping women yell at our boys, witness came to our boys defense. The permanent camper guest seemed entitled and resented the other campers. I guess you can meet bad people anywhere. We reserved by phone in May for an August stay. We where disappointed with the site we had, being it was recommended by the person we reserved with by phone. It was not a nice spot. We where told the spot we wanted couldn't have a tent. There was a tent on the spot while we were there. Most of the staff that we did see where excellent. The prices were very reasonable in the store and marina. The public areas where clean and well maintained. The location is great and we enjoyed the beach.

Perfect place for kids! My kids/family ages 10,12,15 had so much fun! They did not complain 1 time! Let me repeat parents my teenager did not once complain they were bored! I would recommend reserving a golf cart ahead of time so you are guaranteed one. This place is very big with some steep hills so a golf cart would have been good. The bathrooms could be cleaner but it’s a campground. My complaints are that quiet time is not controlled people riding golf carts blasting music/yelling til 2-3am. The tent sites could be leveled out a little more. It’s a great place to stay your kids will have a great time. Also I’m not sure if they spray for mosquitoes but there were not bad at all!

This had to be one of our best vacations ever. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We took the waverunner tour since we had never been on a waverunner but wanted to experience it. Jaren was our tour guide and was absolutely great. We learned so much about the Dells that we wouldn't have known otherwise. Fishing was great. Cabin was great. We will definitely be back.
