Friendly and helpful staff,nice playground and pool,sites were roomy enough and level. Several fast-food restaurants in the immediate area. We were here for a graduation in Madison and not being familiar with the area, I thought we would be closer to the U of W Madison, but it was a 30 minute drive away. When the area was dry, the campground was dusty, and when it rained, our site was flooded right outside our door hence the rating of "5". There was a 2 hour limit on the Wi-Fi. Would recommend it for an overnight stay, but we probably won't be back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We always stay here when in the Madison area. This KOA is conveniently located, well maintained, and friendly. The owners are always making improvements. No cable TV, but several broadcast stations can be picked up on antenna. Wi-Fi was reliable. Don't forget to stock up at Ehlenbach's (wonderful cheese) nearby. We stayed 8 nights. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our first time here in almost 4 years. We had a FHU pull-through site that was satellite friendly. That describes most (about 80) of the sites in the park. We were here on the first weekend of August and the park was fairly full. The free Wi-Fi was a bit unusual. You could use it in 2 hour blocks - if you were on it for more than 2 hours it would disconnect. I'm guessing that they had problems with people staying connected 24/7 thus reducing connectibility for others. They also advise that excessive bandwith use will result in termination of usage. These limitations are not a problem for us. As others have mentioned these are several "walk to" fast food places nearby and a small pool. This is a nice, convenient (4 hours from home) park that serves our needs well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is very convenient to the Interstate being about 300 yards to the east. Despite this the traffic noise is minimal and you really have to look to see it. Friendly staff, level sites and restaurants nearby. If you want to stay here make sure to make a reservation because they fill up quick. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice folks, clean park, good facilities, close enough to the highway. We were lucky enough to find this park just as it was opening for the season. There aren't a lot of choices around Madison, which sometimes can lead to pretty crummy parks, but this one made for a pleasant stay. The owners and employees were making improvements to the office/game room to better accommodate teenagers when we stayed and, while the pool wasn't yet open, it was really nice-looking and well maintained. Traffic is one-way throughout the park, I think making things safer for walkers and kids on bikes. We don't use cable, but Wi-Fi is important, and it was good. The laundry room seems to be the one part of the park that hasn't been worked on recently. The machines are older and it's just kind of tired looking, but everything was working. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access to/from the interstate; wide, level sites; friendly staff. A bit pricey, but it is a well cared-for campground. The gravel roads and sites are well maintained, and the grass is lush. Lots of tenting areas and open space for walking pets, playing frisbee, etc. We would recommend this campground to friends and will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visiting in area..great park. Easy on and off interstate. Friendly staff, clean park, loved the K9-fenced area. Satellite friendly, sites were level and easy assess; all pull-through sites. Many updates since our last stay in 2009. The new pavilion was awesome. Will be back again since we travel in this area every year! We camped here in a Motorhome.

In a word, overpriced. The good: lots of grass, pretty close to Madison, had a nice big field out back to run the dogs in, and what trees they had were shady. The internet worked, but not well. Wifi signal was weak. The bad: the park is too close to a major interstate (I39, I90, I94) and the traffic noise was extreme most of the time, interior roads were dusty or muddy, depending on the weather, the official "dog park" consists of one tiny fenced area in a large field, spaces are too close, and most spaces have no trees at all. Really, the youngest tree looks to be at least 15 or 20 years old. That means that in 15 or 20 years nobody has bothered to plant a single tree. With a few more feet of fencing, the dog park might have actually been usable. In retrospect, this seems to be one of those parks that doesn't believe in investment. The place was quite full while we were there (4 days) so they must think there's no room for improvement. If that's the case, then they are mistaken. But, they never asked my opinion. I would not go back there, and can't recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed our stay here. It just doesn't stand out in our minds. The sites are level and all pull throughs. The roads are dirt and gravel with grass between the sites. The sites were spaced somewhat close but the hookups were good. The people were nice but the park is just a KOA park. Adequate but not cheap. That being said we would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy to/from Interstate. Nice wide level spaces, some with shade. Roads were mostly dirt with some gravel. It had rained and they were muddy. Escorted to site, staff were very friendly and helpful. Park looks well maintained. Wi-Fi is a bit iffy, very slow at times, could be better. No cable TV which we thought for the price should be included. We would stay here again if in the area.

Park is very nice. Spaces are long and well spaced so you do not feel cramped. Roads are dirt and gravel so there is some dust. The park is kept very clean and the staff are very friendly. Price is a little higher than I like, but that is usually the case for KOA. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Typical KOA. We were escorted to our site which had been reserved in advance. Sight was gravel, we needed to add one board under the right side wheels to level. Washrooms/showers were okay, but not close to us and there is only one building for it. Staff was friendly and helpful. Close to the highway but no road noise, and close to groceries and fuel. I would not recommend eating at the nearby "Sunset" restaurant - the KOA manager recommended it but it was not good - food was very slow and orders were not correct. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We usually visit the Madison area in the Fall, but decided to visit over the 4th of July for a change. We stayed a total of 9 days. Every year we notice improvements to the campground. The location is great for us for visiting people and places in several different directions. We found the campground much busier due to summer vacations, but the staff was very helpful and friendly, and most campers were courteous and thoughtful. Our main complaint would be wind blown smoke from campfires, but that's part of the camping experience, huh? There should be cable TV included for the price paid, but we were able to capture several broadcast stations. A change from before was a two hour limit per day for free Wi-Fi. We had no trouble with that limit, but others might have to pay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have been staying at this KOA for several years. The very accommodating management work hard to please the campers and to make improvements to the campground. We received the off-season rate and the KOA discount for our stay of 11 days. The sites are easily accessed. We feel very safe here since it is located behind a state trooper station. The access on and off the interstate is easily negotiated. Madison and the surrounding communities and attractions are nearby. A few more trees, cable TV and a tennis court would earn this campground a perfect score. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This very neat park is easy on and off with friendly check in. We were escorted to the site, and our faucet was disinfected. The site was long enough not to unhook our big rig. It was level gravel with a grassy area. There is a nice playground, horseshoes, propane, clean restrooms, and 5 washer laundry. A recycling bin is provided. Major networks are available with antenna. WiFi, 50 amps, and Verizon worked well. The pool was closed. There were 2 sewer connections at our site. Many are open for satellite. Even though it is close to the highway, we were not bothered by noise. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A good place with nice folks. This is our first RV trip and I'm noticing KOA's being a little more expensive than other parks. Not sure why. The facilities at each campsite in the parks, seem to be about the same as others, which is all we look for in a place. The office, pool, etc., do not concern us much.

We have been coming to this KOA for five years, staying a week each year. When we first came here the new owners had just taken over and the place was being renovated. Since then, we have witnessed improvements every year and the place now looks GREAT! It is very clean and neat. The pool was added a few years ago and is a perfect size. Highly recommend this KOA for family enjoyment. Close to so much, and nice playground and dog friendly! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our second stay here this year due a necessary northward start to out annual fall trip down south to MS and LA. As I noted in my July review this is an above average RV park. As it is near the end of the season up here, there were only about 15 rigs in the park. Surprisingly, the WIFI was not very reliable. When we were here in July with a full park, the WIFI worked fine.

We've stayed at this campground when we are in the area a number of times over the last couple of years. It's always clean, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the price is pretty much average for a KOA, I believe. The price we paid was with our KOA saver card. It's accessible to the Madison area. We would go there again, and probably will in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice park, clean, neat and well kept. Pull-through spaces for coach and tow were just barely long enough to accommodate our 37-foot coach and toad. It was very tight to get in and out of the site. Compared to other comparable parks that we have stayed at, in Wisconsin and Iowa on this trip: this KOA was overpriced by nearly $10.00 per night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very convenient park to the interstate but does have some highway noise. There are also a factory and an airport nearby that contributes some noise. The sites are gravel/dirt and level. Some sights were tight. Although there were other 50 amp sites available they frequently parked someone on our narrow side so we could barely get out our awning. With the windows open or while outdoors we occasionally smelled manure. There are lots of tenters on the weekends. The Verizon signal was good. A nice park though and well maintained.

This is a nice KOA with good utilities and adequate sites for most RVs. Previous reviews have mentioned some other positives. The new pool is a bit on the small side and there is no cable but most sites are satellite friendly.

This is one of the nicest parks we have ever stayed at. A very clean family park. There is easy access to park from highway and easy in/out from sites. The staff is friendly and helpful. The store is well stocked and there are plenty of large, open, grass areas for pets and playing. It is a great base camp for lower Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Dells. Great place for an overnight stay or for a week. Fast food restaurants are within walking distance and the state patrol is next door. We stayed here in a travel trailer and will definitely stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

All pull throughs make this a good overnighter, however we stayed a week. Nice managers, very clean park and well kept. Near many chain restaurants and a very overpriced cheese market. Easy on and off access to highways. Very level sights with grass and tables, some fire rings. Next to some kind of plant that was noisy, and, of course, being next to highways, very noisy also. Good sat TV reception and Verizon aircard was great for phones and internet. We would consider staying here again in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Grassy sites, very level. Excellent stop for one night while on the road. Price paid reflects KOA member discount for a full hookup 30 amp site. Some road noise but not too bad. Owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Two tornado warnings while we were there so everyone hung out in the office/store area. Burger King and McDonald's are right nearby, and there is a cheese place we would have checked out but for the rain. Restrooms and showers are very clean. Would stay here again if in the area.

I think that was the rate we paid...This is a good "stop off" place. Close to the interstate, like 1000 feet! Felt safe, State Patrol Office as you drove in. A lot of places to get food within walking distance. 2 convenience stores and a neat cheese shop with a 25 foot tall cow in front of it! OK place. Haven't ever done a KOA before, so I don't know what to compare it to. We stopped in the evening and were underway the next morning, but nice enough for what we needed.

This park has about 40 spots with about half of them being 30 amp electric. There is a water fill and a dump station. This is "campground" so some of the sites are only appropriate for tent trailers and smaller trailers and motorhomes. There were about a dozen large motorhomes and 5th wheels here while we were here. This park is located adjacent to I-39/90/94 at the junction with US 51. This campground is at the far end of the park so there is no road noise. We had reservations so there was a large site that accommodated our rig nicely. Not all the sites are as level as our site, and the power post is far enough away on some sites that you will need an extension cord. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We gave this park a low grade because there wasn't a fresh water hook up anywhere in the park except at the dump station... and it didn't have a threaded hose bib to connect to your motor home. Half of the sites aren't level but they are spacious with lots of trees. Also the trash is very far from the sites. The bathrooms were old and not too clean. The hosts were very nice and helpful, though. Even with a low rating we would stay here again going cross country. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a county park with a lot of potential. The sites are wide, however for my low rating is the fact the park is out of the times. There are no pads leveling is very hard. Some of the electric boxes are too far away for normal elecric cords. I would not stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
