DANE COUNTY CAMPGROUNDS

Dane County Parks operates five campgrounds in and around Madison that offer campsites with and without electric hookups.

All campsites listed below offer traditional camping and RV facilities. Reservations need to be made five days in advance; otherwise open sites are first-come, first-served.

DEVIL'S LAKE

Devil's Lake State Park has three public camping areas located on the north shore of the lake, and nine group camp sites on the south shore. Each campground has different qualities that have made each of them popular with various annual campers. Activities at the state park include big band concerts, boat rentals, and the North Shore Chateau, a small store with refreshments and tasty treats.

CAPITAL SPRINGS STATE PARK

Capital Springs State Park incorporates Dane County's Lake Farm Park, which has a fully-accessible campground of 54 sites. Most of them are suitable for vehicle camping and others are tent sites. Thirty-nine have 50-amp electrical hookups. The campground has showers, flush toilets, and a dumping station. It's next to the Lussier Family Heritage Center and the Capital City State Trail and just minutes away from downtown Madison and the Alliant Energy Center.
