What is your cancellation policy?

Refunds given (less $15 fee) only if reservation is cancelled more than 14 days prior to arrival for campsites; More than 30 days prior to arrival notice for all rentals.

How far in advance can I book a site?

Campers can reserve sites one year in advance. If you want to reserve the same site for next year you can do that anytime while you are with us. At 1:00 Sunday your site will be opened up for anyone else to book it for the following year.

Do you allow tent camping?

We certainly welcome tenters. Any site may be used for up to two tents, or for one camper and one tent. Additionally, we have quite a few primitive sites available; some can handle more than ten camping tents.

Can we have 2 campers on a site?

No; Wisconsin campground regulations only allow one RV unit and one tent on a site.

Can we check-in early? Can we stay late?

Our normal check-in is 3:00 PM. Early check-in is $10, providing site is available. Check-out time is 11:00 AM for cabins and 12:00 PM for campsites. Late check-out may be available; please check with us in the office if you would like to stay later.

Do you offer discounts for veterans?

Our history is tied to service and we recognize and appreciate the dedication and sacrifices given. Please contact us for more details before you book your site.

Are you a Good Sam member?

No, we are not.

Where are your rules?

Every camper group receives a copy of our rules on arrival.

Can my grandkids drop by for a visit?

Visitor passes, or day passes, are required for anyone not registered as a camper. Stop by the office to get a pass.

Do you have seasonal sites available?

About half our sites are reserved for seasonal campers. Since situations often change for our campers, seasonal sites periodically become available. Check with us in the office if you would like to know more.

What do I do with my garbage?

Please dispose your garbage and recycling in the appropriate dumpsters located near the park entrance.

Can we bring our own golf carts, mopeds, or electric scooters?

We allow both electric and gasoline powered golf carts, but not mopeds or electric scooters. Golf carts must be registered at the office, where you will be given rules governing their use. The highlights: licensed drivers only, headlights required after dark, no overloading, and no cruising around after 11.

Do you rent out golf carts?

We do rent out golf carts! However their availability is limited. Please call regarding them!

Do you allow dogs or any other animals?

We are a pet-friendly campground. Our rules are the same as virtually every other campground: pet must be leashed, cannot bother other campers with their barking, no aggressive behavior, are not allowed on any sand or in the swim pond, cannot be in any building except as specifically authorized by management. You must clean up after your pet.

We have a dog park just to the north of the park entrance.

When is the store open?

Our store hours vary and are posted on the store porch; the building may be closed during special events.

What is Happy Hour?

Most Saturdays we host a happy hour on the store patio. If the weather doesn’t cooperate we move to our pavilion. This is an informal social event that brings together both seasonals and day campers; either bring your own beverage or purchase one in our store. We provide popcorn at no cost to you during happy hour.

When is pond open?

The pond may be used from 8 am until dusk.

How deep is the pond?

Our pond is 12 feet deep. It covers about 3/4 acre and has a liner and a sandy bottom. There are no fish in the swim pond.

Do we have to pay to use the paddleboard and other pond toys?

Definitely not! Once you are registered at our campground all the pond toys and other activities are available at no additional charge.

How much does it cost to play mini golf?

Nothing! Mini golf is free to play; get a putter and golf ball right outside the store.

Do you allow fireworks?

Nothing that goes boom or into the air is allowed. Sparklers are OK.

Can we go fishing at your campground?

We do not have fishing available. We did stock two ponds in our wetlands, but to the best of our knowledge there are no fish still remaining. The nearest lakes for fishing are Fox Lake (15 miles east) and Park Lake in Pardeeville (7 miles west).

Where is the disc golf course?

Take the road right below the rock wall out into the open field. The first tee and basket are to the left. Course maps are available in the store.

Where is your laundromat?

You will find two washers and two dryers in the laundromat located in the basement of the owners’ home. It’s just uphill from the dump station- look for the sign on the right. The machines all take quarters- we can make change at the store if you need some.
