For a community park, this beats every other park I've been to thus far. We frequent this park…read moreoften during the week. Not in the winter, but in the summer we may be here 3 to 4 times a week. Some times we rode our bikes, 5 miles away from our home, to the park traveling on the ice age hiking trail and what a glorious trail that is. Once summer arrives, we eagerly await the opening of the wading pool. The closest thing we have to a beach really. The park is very well kept. The grasses are well maintained and trimmed. Restrooms are clean. There's also the travel center on the grounds, that also acts as the welcome station for Janesville. If you go there and tell them you are newly arrived they will give you a packet which includes several saving coupons that can be used at various stores and eateries. Parking is abundant and can be found at different locations through out the park. There are many picnic tables with fixed grills ready to be used. I bring a grill top just to be safe and clean when using these grills. You can fly kites, have large parties as people often do, and there are even short hikes with trail heads close by. The main attraction is the play ground itself. Designed like a large forest camp with many places to climb, run, explore it truly is heaven for kids as they run around expending energy. There are slides any one can go down. These have rollers so no matter how you are you will go down, and fast too. You really have to watch yourself coming down these type of slides. I have seen many adults land smack flat on their buttock, and I laugh every time watching them remembering my first time too. There's also rings for kids to strengthen their grip and rocking platforms to help control their balance. When the wading pool is open it gets crowded but several life guards are always present to make sure there is no misbehaving by kids as well as adults. The spouting whale slides and umbrella water rain falls are excellent attractions for the kids to take pictures on. The surrounding area also offers kids to begin their exploration of nature. There is lots to see in plants as well as bugs. Many have vibrant colors and are so strange looking that makes them very interesting. We loved coming here. It's a great way to spend family time while your kid unleashes that bottled up energy and get a good work out building his physical abilities with coordination. Many fond memories and pictures are here. Wish there was one close to us now.

Amazing! We live in Illinois, not Wisconsin, but we're met with kindness and openness here. The…read morewading pool is a little dated, but serves a great purpose on a hot august day when you don't have access to any other outdoor pools. But it's fun for my son. He is 5 years old and made friends right away while splashing around. The breaks aren't too bad. We showed up during a break and there was an event going on (I think a lot of events go on at Palmer park) where they learned about seeds and growing their own seeds and vegetables and even got to try some colorful vegetables while being read to. Afterwards, the kids planted their own seeds in a cup and got to pick out a book. So sweet. Then-break was over and back to splashing. The bathrooms are....well public pool bathrooms which are always gross. There's vending and shelters. Also, my sons favorite part is the gigantic playground. There's a Little kids section, a toddler section and a bigger kids section. He likes them all. There's also a mechanical swing for someone wheelchair bound to go in-wheelchair and all...and swing!! The floor is bouncy, so less injuries. Plenty of slides, places for parents to sit. Wooden maze under structure. The merry go round(?) needs help. It's stuck on something so that's no fun. There's a mini house and plenty of fun for hours and hours. On days that I want to surprise my son after school I pick him up and bring him there- 30 minutes away. Just a great place to be. I'd love to keep it to ourselves, but it's too good to be hidden. Also, a GREAT little Pokémon Go spot :)

my family and I have been going to this campgrounds for over 20 years…read more unfortunately this was a horrible experience we had the staff everyone we had to deal with was very rude and unhelpful not only did they argue with us about giving us a few extra parking passes saying that we couldn't have them because that they were only for immediate family which was they were are children driving from different areas. then they charged us for the extra passes when my son arrived at the campground and checked in they also charged him when I explained to them I had already paid they said because I didn't bring it to them before he arrived they charged him when I purchased the previous passes they never explained that I had to have the passes there before he arrived. when we pulled out the sleeping couch pullout bed we lifted the mattress and there was so much food underneath the mattress. when I told the manager about it she really did not apologize or act like it wasn't a big deal

I stopped in and asked if my 8 year boys (red ball team) could use their pool on Sunday August 25…read more The front desk clerk (Amber) said sure and my daughter Madeline will be there Sunday. I paid 150.00 dollars (instead of 5.00 per person). Then returned to ask if we could use their meeting room from Mindy (who claimed she was the owner, and she said she saw my check and I'd course, no extra charge! I tried 3 times to pay her. Sunday arrived and about 20 of us showed up after Church to swim from 1-3pm. Their was no management as the young gals said no managers came in on Sundays. Not even Madeline. So they called us all liars, saying we never paid and couldn't come in or use the meeting room! I kindly said said call Mindy, )who abruptly said we were all liars, and she never met me, or heard of an 8 year old team coming! Mindy said we were lying! The kinder I got the meaner they got. No eye contact... just kept saying we can't come in. Finally they realized I paid, let us in. But five minutes before our trophy presentation Madeline saud, "you can't use it unless you pay thecfull 80.00 rate for 12 hrs use! So I paid the 75.00 she demanded. I thought bring kind would help: it didn't. One kind employee Hannah was kind to me seeing how I was treated and kindly helped me. I tipped her 20.00 saying, kindness and a smile makes you a blessing at any business in front of the mean employees. (They made her give it back). Stopping in the next morning amber at my presence screamed at the top of her lungs saying I never paid, and wouldn't let me kindly say even one word. I pray they gave cameras. She kicked me out, and kept saying get off our property forbidding me to talk to manager Mindy. When reading other reviews, I learned the exact same thing happened exactly to other grandmother's, and people are still traumatized after 3cyears of being yelled at and kicked put by Amber not allowing anyone to speak to Mindy. Very sad as their reputation precedes them I'm learning!. Rita. (I'm just glad God has cameras if they dont) so many comments as to the rudeness if the hals, and others mentioning Amber's anger issues. Read reviews before going there. I hot copies of both my checks and Amber altered my check crossing off the note: Mindy said room was free). A man next to me was wide eyed listening to ambervyell falsehoods at me ! Our boys obeyed all rules and parents were kind even after being called liars. Worst experience ever in my life! Im turning 70 and i know a good name is better than great riches. And I'm grateful God keeps good books.

The staff was rude, berating our family and just absolutely pathetic! DO NOT GO HERE!

Horrible place to stay - Unsafe, Unprofessional, and False Advertising…read more This was by far the worst vacation experience we've ever had. From the moment we checked in, it was clear this place is poorly managed, falsely advertised, and completely unsafe--especially for families with children. We booked the 6-8 person cabin and paid additional fees for extra guests, but the cabin barely accommodated four people. We were a group of seven: two couples, one 6-year-old, two toddlers, and a small dog. The cabin only had two full beds and a couch, making the sleeping arrangements completely unreasonable. Over the phone, they told us golf carts were available but failed to mention we needed to reserve them in advance. By the time we arrived, they were fully booked, and we were left walking everywhere with three small children. To make matters worse, the cabin itself was damaged with nails sticking out--extremely dangerous for kids. We checked in on July 3rd. No one explained any rules verbally--just handed us a folder and keys. Later that evening, my husband lit a single firework to celebrate the Fourth of July. A staff member, Eric, stormed over yelling and threatening to kick us out. When my husband and brother-in-law calmly apologized, Eric aggressively escalated the situation and tried to start a fight--seemingly provoked by the fact that my brother-in-law is Middle Eastern. It felt like a clear case of racism and intimidation. The next day, my sister's small dog slipped off the leash for less than a minute before being immediately retrieved. Again, a woman from the office came yelling and threatening to evict us. Then, while walking to the beach with our children, several drunk teenagers came speeding down the road in golf carts. They were driving recklessly and nearly ran over my son and me. Not only was there no supervision, but the staff did nothing to control the chaos. It was terrifying and completely unacceptable. After that, we stayed inside the cabin for the rest of our stay just to feel safe. This place is a complete disaster. It's unsafe, the staff is hostile and unprofessional, and the amenities are nothing like what's advertised. If you're thinking about staying here--especially with kids--do yourself a favor and find somewhere else. Not worth your time, money, or peace of mind.

So- lesson learned on this one... If I could give this place negative stars I would. This location…read morehas about 600 sites... the majority of them are "seasonal campers". But wait- they are not just seasonal- they are RV's with homemade porches attached to them. Don't get me wrong, some of them are decent- but by in large they're almost all super ghetto. There is an 11 pm quiet time that no one enforced. Our neighbors, both nights, we were there... stayed up playing music until well after midnight. This neighbor is one of the "seasonal campers"--- so clearly they do what ever they want. My wife and I decided to walk around and go to the main office- that was an experience. The shanty town neighborhoods in this campground remind me of redneck neighborhoods you'd see in a swampy bayou somewhere in the mosquito infested marshes of Louisiana. Anyway- we get to the main office, where the pool and general store is located. I decided to use the mens restroom- oh that was an adventure. That facility wreaked of month old urine, spider webs peppering every corner of the washroom and all of the webs were filled with bugs. One of the sinks was stained yellow (looked like caked on urine) with a heap of dead bugs in it. Wasps were patrolling the rust stained shower areas... it was actually kind of scary. The site my wife and I were assigned was not amazing. Our immediate neighbor had a 400 gallon (see the picture) above ground septic tank that we got to look at all day... everyday. The huge septic take was a sure draw for tens of thousands of gnats. I wish I would've taken more photos just to show all of you how disgusting and overpriced this dump really is. Take note- the majority of the photos posted here are stock photos and do not reflect this RV camp ground at ALL.... STAY AWAY!!!

The actual campsite was adequate for our 5th wheel. We had forgotten it was Memorial Day weekend and had a back in site rather than pull through as we requested on our online reservation. However, when I called they said they'd help us because all the pull throughs were booked. They did as promised--which made it super easy. The pool, camp store, and laundry were clean and well kept. The growing edge would be to wet down the gravel roads to help with the dust. This didn't stop us from rebooking for next year because we enjoyed it so much!

I couldn't be more disappointed with the management at this KOA campground. Let me first say we…read morebought our camper in Spring 2020, and immediately became members of KOA. In the last 4 summers, we have almost exclusively camped at KOAs because we appreciate their locations all over the country, full hookups, dog parks, and amenities. We've been guests at Milton KOA in Wisconsin several times, even renting one of their golf carts one long weekend away from our busy work schedules, and have usually enjoyed our stays. We had a sudden death in the family Friday 6/2, but we were scheduled to stay at Milton KOA June 8-10. As soon as I was aware of funeral arrangements, I immediately called the campground Saturday 6/3 to cancel. We are KOA VIP, so cancelation is supposed to cost us $0. They refused a full refund because I was canceling within 7 days of our booked stay, charging us $54.07. I offered compromises, such as changing the date of the booking, or taking a credit for a future stay, but the young associate who took my phone call wasn't accommodating. I asked to speak with a manager and was told they'd be in Monday. I've since called several times in the following 10 days, yet never once was their phone answered by a live person. I left 2 voicemails requesting management, both unreturned. I emailed with a link to the funeral information (same last name as mine), still no response. So I called KOA corporate to report the lack of management response and disrespectful customer service. They told me to wait 1-2 days, still I've heard nothing from Milton KOA. My next step will be to call corporate again, and send the paper pamphlet from the funeral in US Mail. A death in the immediate family should NEVER EVER be a reason someone does not get a full refund, or at least the respectful option to reschedule the booking without penalty. This campground, unless they fix this mistake, will not see another cent from our family during our many many camping trips. Milton, WI is a disappointment to the KOA brand, where we have been 99.9% thrilled with our other stays from Key West KOA in Florida, to Glacier KOA in Montana. I truly hope they make it right for us, and all future campers who might have a similar loss.
