Camping near Arlington, Wisconsin
Arlington sits in Columbia County in south-central Wisconsin, roughly a half hour north of Madison and within easy reach of the Wisconsin River, Lake Wisconsin, and the Baraboo Hills. The location puts RV travelers close to Interstates 39/90/94 while keeping open farmland, kettle lakes, and state park country within a short drive.
Most campgrounds in the area are private RV parks and family resorts that supplement the state park system. Madison Campground and Sleepy Dragon Campground offer options south toward the capital, while Smokey Hollow Campground, Lake Wisconsin Campground, and Duck Creek Campground cluster to the north around the Lake Wisconsin corridor and the Wisconsin Dells approach.
Public camping in the wider region is anchored by Wisconsin DNR properties. Devil's Lake State Park, the state's most visited park, lies roughly 30 to 40 minutes northwest and offers 423 sites across three campgrounds, plus nine group campsites.
Things to do around Arlington
Water recreation drives most trips. Lake Wisconsin, a flowage on the Wisconsin River, is popular for boating, walleye and bass fishing, waterskiing, and swimming. Lake Wisconsin Campground and Duck Creek Campground provide access to the shoreline and boat launches.
Devil's Lake pairs 500-foot quartzite bluffs with a spring-fed lake, sandy beaches, and the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, and the park draws rock climbers, paddlers, and beachgoers alongside hikers.
Family travelers often pair a stay with day trips to Wisconsin Dells waterparks, Circus World in Baraboo, or downtown Madison for the State Capitol, the Henry Vilas Zoo, and lakeside bike paths. Smokey Hollow Campground and Sleepy Dragon Campground add on-site amenities like jumping pillows, mini-golf, and themed weekends for kids.

The main camping season in south-central Wisconsin runs from mid-April through mid-October. At Devil's Lake, the Northern Lights and Quartzite campgrounds operate through the warm months, while the Ice Age Campground stays open for winter camping. Dump stations and shower buildings are generally winterized outside the main season to prevent freeze damage.
Summer is peak season. Sites open 11 months in advance and weekends from May through October fill up quickly, with reservation-required camping filling months ahead. Statewide, campsites averaged 91 percent occupancy on weekends and 53 percent on weekdays in recent summers, so midweek stays open more options.
Spring and fall are quieter, with cooler nights, fewer bugs, and easier reservations. Fall color in the Baraboo Hills typically peaks in early to mid-October. Winter camping is limited to a handful of year-round loops; expect snow, ice, and vault-toilet-only service.

Ken C. - Jul 2026
Aaron is a really nice guy and has great communications. He showed up exactly when he was supposed to. Delivered it, set it up for me, walked me through how everything works. Camper was great air conditioning refrigerator toilet everything worked. Bed was comfortable,. Then he showed up to pick it up exactly on time I left and he dismantled it and took it away. I did not have to do anything but enjoy it.

Ross was great to work with & the experience exceeded our expectations! He was very accommodating with pick up- we live out of state and ran into unexpected delays on our way to pick up. The rental was very clean, came stocked with anything we needed, and was a very pleasant experience. We will be repeat renters!

How to book near Arlington
Wisconsin state park campsites, including Devil's Lake, are reserved through the state system at wisconsin.goingtocamp.com or by calling 1-888-947-2757. Reservations can be made for the same day of arrival or up to 11 months in advance, and popular electric and wooded sites disappear quickly for peak summer weekends. All campsites at Devil's Lake are reservable, with no walk-up or first-come, first-served sites.
Private campgrounds including Madison Campground, Sleepy Dragon Campground, Smokey Hollow Campground, Lake Wisconsin Campground, and Duck Creek Campground book directly through each operator's website or phone line. Full-hookup RV sites, lakefront sites, and holiday weekends fill earliest.
A Wisconsin State Park vehicle admission pass is also required for each vehicle at the campground and can be purchased in advance or at the gate.
What to expect in Arlington
Sites in the Arlington area range from full-hookup RV pads at private resorts to rustic, non-electric loops in state forests and parks. Private parks near Lake Wisconsin and the Dells typically offer 30/50-amp power, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, showers, laundry, and family activity programming. Each state park campsite has a picnic table, a gravel or paved area for parking, room for at least one family tent, and a metal fire ring, with limited hookups.
Cell coverage is generally reliable near I-39/90/94 and thinner in the Baraboo bluffs. Nearest full-service towns for groceries, propane, and dump stations include Portage, Baraboo, Lodi, DeForest, and Madison.
Mosquitoes and ticks are active from late spring through early fall, and Wisconsin restricts moving firewood to slow tree pests. Buy or gather firewood locally, and pack layers year-round: nights can be cool even in July.
