We stumbled upon Wishing Well after years of enjoying another Wisconsin RV/Campground, but wanting somewhere close to home, that we could escape to more frequently. This past Fall 2024 was our first visit, where we did a boys trip with my neighbor and our sons. Had such a great time that I planned a family trip this summer, and another boys trip for Fall 2025. Super friendly staff workers and I really love the fact that things are a little spread out, with two pool, multiple playgrounds and pavilions, mini golf, as well as an awesome swimming pond with inflatables for the kids. That pored with the theme nights and daily activities, it’s a great getaway for anyone, especially people with kids. Cannot wait for our next outing to Wishing Well!

Campground is average, pool was clean and warm, some staff were friendly, bathrooms were clean. Security was unnecessarily picky and and spoiled what was a overall good time. Some roads could use filling of pot holes. Overall an ok time.

Booked an 8 person cabin got put in a 3 person beds were not advertised size and nothing was done about it. Bugs were everywhere inside the cabin and swarmed at night. Septic tanks were in the back Other campers were racist and unfriendly Warned by security that if were caught breaking the 5mph limit on golf carts they would take our security deposit so we decided to not drive the golf cart anymore. Turns out they still wanted to take it when checking out managed to just get half back. Turns out they just want any excuse not to give it to you as many other people had this problem.

Great campground for keeping the kids busy with a good variety of adult activities as well. All encounters with campers were friendly and courteous.

Stressful, chaotic, too much traffic. Golf carts galore zipping everywhere. Not sure where they are going. Everyone's got somewhere to go apparently. Do golf carts need to adhere to the 5 mph speed limit? I guess not, no one did. Not a campground but a golf cart raceway.
