Off The Beaten Path

Campgrounds with Amenities


Roughing it not your thing? Not to take anything away from the rustic camping experience, which is just the ticket for lots of folks who go in search of serenity, but in Wisconsin Dells there is such a thing as camping with amenities. At KOA - Wisconsin Dells, visitors can swim in a heated pool, check their e-mail thanks to WI-FI, then take in a nightly movie at the campground’s outdoor theater. And there’s Yogi Bear™ Camp-Resort & Water Playground, with more amenities than you could shake a stick (of firewood) at. There’s a themed water playground, game rooms, pool, hot tub, restaurant, mini-golf, and boat rentals. Campsites run the gamut from paved sites with patio to cabins and even cushy villas.
