We rented two of the cabins and the amount of space inside was perfect for this family of 4! Each kid got their own loft, we had a bed with wonderful space. The number of things to do while there was perfect for the ADHD kids and the ability to sit and watch them do ALL THE THINGS was perfect for this tired momma! We played mini-golf at 6:45 am, horseshoes at 6:54 am, and playground at 7 am to just start all over again (multiple times)! Definitely plan your drinking schedule with the fact that the bathroom is not in the cabin but still close! We had s'mores on the fire pit and two nights of BBQ! We even swam in the lake and the kids LOVED the inflatables (even the 40-year-old fat dudes got out there). The owners were incredible and friendly. Really can see that they care and have built a wonderful community. We will be back!

We decided last minute and very impulsively to hit this KOA. Like, booked a cabin less than 12…read morehours before we left. My kids like dirt and the woods so they were thrilled. We got in at 8pm because we couldn't leave Chicago until after my husband logged off with work. We arrived to find the office closed and an envelope with our name on it taped to the door. That would have been super efficient... if they had actually put the key in the envelope. So I called the number to the KOA repeatedly and no one answered. I finally walked to the back of the office and found a bar. Not a lounge but a full fledged bar. The door stated masks were required to enter but not one single person out of the 40 or so people in there had a mask on. No worries, I'm fully vaccinated, I pushed on. I asked the bartender if she could help me and she directed me to a woman who was super nice and brought me into the office where she located the key. Score! Then we got into the cabin and we didn't have any water. My husband and I poked around in the dark to see if we could find a water source but since we know nothing about it, gave up. More unanswered calls to the KOA. Finally an hour later my husband walked back to the bar and found the same nice woman who came over and fixed the problem. She was super nice but seriously, at this point it was like 10:30pm and we were all just tired of the check in situation being such a long and drawn out pain. The cabin is good. We got a deluxe cabin "VIP" situation. It's fully equipped with plates, silverware, pots, pans, etc which is good because this cabin doesn't have a grill like other KOAs we have stayed at. The sofa bed is horrifyingly uncomfortable so don't plan on needing that. Bring an air mattress, there's space for a full size blow up in the sleeping loft. The biggest issue is the heating/cooling. If you turn the heat on, the back bedroom turns into a literal sauna while the rest of the cabin is ice cold. Also, we couldn't leave the windows open at night because everyone around us was so loud. There was a fundraiser event Friday night and golf carts with drunk people were whizzing around until well after midnight. From what I can tell, most people are seasonal here... and they like to party. Which is cool, my husband started looking into a camper to park here seasonally. Lol Seems like a fun vibe. But it's definitely not for people with little kids who care about quiet hours nor for those that are early to bed. I felt for the tent campers after that fundraiser let out on Friday night. There's no way they slept through that. They had tons of kids activities going on every time we drove by the front area. Which would have been amazing and a huge draw if it wasn't for the fact that not a single one of the dozens of kids were masked. My older kids did the mini golf and liked it. The shop has a lot of good basics in case you forgot something: bread, condiments, milk, eggs, etc. Everyone that worked in the shop was super nice and always masked. They kindly served the idiots that strolled in without masks, ignoring the sign on the door that says to wear one. The hiking trails in the KOA were seriously perfect for my kids. We took them over to Kettle Moraine too but this was great for them to just get out and move. There's three pools and I think two playgrounds. This place is MASSIVE, so bring the kids' bikes and scooters. Overall, we had fun. The employees are super nice and there's a lot to do here. Once my kids are vaccinated, we'll come back and partake in all the offerings.

Pinewoods Campground is a beautifully wooded campground within the overall Kettle Moraine State…read moreForest Southern Area. I've been camping here every late September, for a few years, and it's truly a gem of the Wisconsin system. Pinewoods has 101 campsites, flush toilets, vault toilets and showers. There are no electrical sites at this campground. A playground is next to the shower building. And news to me- This campground offers a designated area for those who want to enjoy the peace and quiet that nature has to offer. Loop 1 is a 24-hour quiet zone, meaning no pets, radios or mechanical device noises are allowed, ensuring a peaceful visit. The facilities are clean, there are a few large group sites, and a few hike-in sites. While my small crew prefers the hike-in sites, honestly the regular sites have ample privacy, nestled between the tall pines of this area. There is great hiking nearby, whether it's the Scuppernong trails or the Ice Age Trail, horse riding, Ottawa Lake, and some of the best mountain biking in the State (Emma Carlin and John Muir Trails). Not far from Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, Pinewoods Campground is a great getaway!

Were disappointed in the WI DNR response regarding flush toilets and showers at Long Lake being out for septic emergency- expecting hundreds of Long Lakers to shower at Mauthe Lake was kind of ridiculous, but we roughed it and the extra porta-potties were good enough. You have to do the 1-mile Dundee Mountain hike within Long Lake 900's and is family friendly. Go the two beaches, do a Nature program at Mauthe Lake or the Ice Age Center, visit nearby Dundee for a burger, an ice cream cone, a beer, live fishing bait and firewood. We're never at a loss for things to do in the Kettle Moraine and enjoyed finding new to us trails like the Haskell Noyes Woods. We caught fish at both Long Lake and Mauthe Lake on our trip, and we love this campground and KM Northern Unit.

While this campground allows dogs, they are not allowed everywhere and cannot swim in the park…read more This means that owners are forced to leave their dogs in a hot car or tent, or in a small 'pet picnic' area that is made of dry grass near water but doesn't allow dogs to actually enter the water. Because of this, it can be argued that the campground is not truly pet-friendly and that they shouldn't allow dogs on the premises at all, especially during warmer months when their safety is a concern.
