Can y'all recommend a campground of the many in that area Wisconsin Dells. I have read rv park reviews and now would like some more opinions if y'all don't mind.

Depends what you're looking for. If you want a clean, decent CG with convenience to the Dells town area, I'd recommend the KOA. Definitely ask for the upper level of the CG, as it's farther from the train, which runs right by the CG!

If you like nature, check into Mirror Lake SP. Not far from the Dells, very shady, elec hookups at some sites. Rocky Arbor SP is closer in but the back of the CG is right next to I-90/94 and can be very loud with road noise. Very shady there too, and elec hookups available.

Holiday shores was nice , they added a new section with full hook up sites, the only down side was this seems to be a mostly seasonal park.

We did a fair amount of research on the internet. This web site here should help you look into Wisconsin Dells a bit better. Just for the record, we are staying at Holiday Shores in August this summer. It seems like a very nice CG.

I can only speak for Sherwood Forest. I thought it was OK, best part it was within walking distance to mini-golf places and downtown (a few blocks, thru parking lots and over the bridge).

We stayed at Sherwood Forest last year after it was recommended by a friend. Never again. In addition to the owner/manager flat out lying to us, it was poorly managed, pretty much run down and wasn't kept clean. We stayed in the lower level. The upper level was party-land. Groups of campers would get several spots in an area and set up in a circle instead of individual sites. The loud partying went on almost all night long. The ONLY thing in its favor was closeness to the main street.
Here's our write up from "RV Park Reviews":
Camp sites were OK but not well maintained. Some trash around the site. Shared electrical boxes. Our box had only a 30A and a 20A. If the other spot had taken the 30A outlet then that would have only left the 20A which would not be enough for AC. We got limited WiFi coverage even tho we were close to the office. I tried several places around the park and coverage was no better. Don't depend on WiFi coverage if that's an issue. Water has a very hard mineral taste. Campground hosts were friendly but not attentive to complaints and what we feel was outright lying. Owner's brother and several others stay at the campgrounds in a run down Class C a few sites from the office. (Reminded me of Cousin Eddie in "Vacation".) They turn their radio on at about 10AM every day, place the speaker so it's blaring out a window, and leave it on all day, even when no one is at the campsite and often past 10PM. The radio can be heard 10-15 sites away. We complained to the owner, before we knew it was his brother, and he acted dumb like he didn't know there was a problem and said he didn't know who the person was. Owner said he would talk to security. That night at 10:45 PM, no one was in the campsite and radio still blaring, I talked to security who said the owner had not mentioned any problem. Security said he was just by the site to tell them to turn down the radio but no one was at the site. While talking to security the brother came out of the owner's place and admitted he had left the radio on but didn't think it was a problem. He then turned it down but during the next few days it would be blaring again all day long. Owner still refused to handle the complaint. We will not stay here again due to the lack of customer service and in effect being lied to by the owners. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Thanks for starting this thread. We are going next year and I've been looking for campsites in the area as well. There are so many to choose from. I believe Holiday Shores is the one I was looking at too.

Was there last year and stayed at the KOA (unusual for us). Very nice place if you get the upper level. Close enough (upper level) to walk into town and the nearby ice cream shop. Would stay there again.

Wadcutter, I see it hasn`t changed much since 03! the pool area was terrible when we were there too.

Plenty of nicer places in the Dells than this one.
