We love to stay in this park in our class a motorhome for several reasons. We always stay here when we come in early fall for Wisconsin badger football games. It is a pretty green park with beautiful trees and nice grass. The lake is close by and times you can have a nice view from your RV spot. It is close to restaurants, shopping, and downtown. The negatives are it can be very smoky with everyone’s campfires burning, it can be tight for big rigs to drive around and back into their spot. If it’s raining, it can be very muddy and people will pull right into your spot and make a huge muddy mess in your patio area. The bugs and mosquitoes can be brutal so we always come prepared.

We stayed here for one night as we were passing through heading north. The campground bathrooms were clean and sufficient, just a little outdated. It is close to a beautiful lake. Each spot has a picnic table and fire pit . It is next to a busy road but it didn’t bother me. I’d stay here again.

I hear they are completely redoing the park fall of 2024. Its is one big lake when it rains. The homeless live here ands it’s heartbreaking to watch, especially the animals and kids. Thankful they have a safe place. Not the tranquil relaxing park it could be.

The park was well maintained and the lake is a short walk from the campground. The bathrooms and showers were sufficient and clean. It is a public park with a public boat landing, so the facilities are used by more than just campers. The campsites were very level with gravel pads and grass. No bare/dirt spots which is great when you have a dog! The campsites were close to a busier road, so you did get some city noise.

I LOVE this park!!! I live right across the street and we are here almost everyday. It is always clean and the dog bags are stocked. Perfect for late night lake side walks with your dog or partner or solo. A fantastic place to enjoy the outdoors and camp too!! Highly recommend this park

My dog slipped his harness and spent 2 hours running amok here. He loved it! Traipsing through the grass and rolling in it. He had the time of his life! Me, not so much. Very calming and relaxing if you aren't trying to wrangle your dog.

The campground is basically a mowed park field with some mature trees around it. No privacy from neighbors and the campground is on the roadside of the park instead of the lake side of the park. Because of its location, you are going to hear road noise. Relatively short walk to the bath house and the lake. Bath house seemed old, showers were not something I wanted to use but would do so in a pinch. Electric poles are old but power seems to hold steady. Strong cell signal on T-Mobile and you're quite close to Madison, University of Wisconsin, etc., so location could work well for lots of folks. The sites are nice and level, and they include an aluminum picnic table and a fire ring. $38 a night, when you include the reservation fee of $10, is a bit steep for what's here. I would stay here again if I needed a spot, but there are better places in the area to consider.
