Campgrounds near Friendship, Wisconsin
Friendship sits in Adams County in Wisconsin's Central Sands region, a landscape of pine and oak forest, sandstone outcroppings, and flowage lakes formed on the bed of ancient Glacial Lake Wisconsin. The village is the seat of Adams County and functions as a supply stop for campers heading to nearby state parks and private RV resorts.
The closest public camping is at Roche-A-Cri State Park, a rustic family campground on the edge of town that sits at the base of a 300-foot sandstone mound bearing Native American petroglyphs and pictographs. A short drive west, Buckhorn State Park occupies a peninsula on the Castle Rock Flowage of the Wisconsin River and, with two adjacent wildlife areas, covers more than 8,000 acres.
Private options in the area include Pineland Camping Park, Summer Hideaway RV Campground Resort LLC, and Point Bluff Resort, which offer full-hookup sites and family amenities that complement the more rustic state park loops. Together the mix suits both trailer travelers wanting hookups and RV renters comfortable with dry camping.
Things to do near Friendship
The signature hike is the wooden stairway up Roche-A-Cri Mound, a climb of more than 300 steps that opens onto a long view across the Central Sands. The park also protects petroglyphs and pictographs at the base of the mound, and Carter Creek inside the park is stocked for trout fishing.
Water is the main draw at Buckhorn State Park. The peninsula setting on Castle Rock Flowage supports fishing, kayaking, a self-guided canoe interpretive trail, a marked sand swimming beach, and hunting in adjacent wildlife areas. The park also has a nature trail with an observation tower that overlooks the oak-pine sand barrens.
Off-park attractions within an easy drive include Castle Rock County Park and the waterparks and boat rentals of Wisconsin Dells to the south.

When to visit Friendship
- spring
March - May
57° / 36°F 80 mmState parks reopen late spring; cool nights, wet trails.
- summer
June - August
81° / 59°F 105 mmPeak season; electric sites fill months out; heavy mosquitoes.
- fall
September - November
57° / 36°F 70 mmFewer bugs, fall color; family campgrounds close mid-fall.
- winter
December - February
28° / 10°F 32 mmMost campgrounds closed; only a few rustic sites open.
The main camping season at both Roche-A-Cri and Buckhorn state parks runs from late spring through mid-fall. The Roche-A-Cri family campground operates only during that window. Buckhorn keeps a small number of cart-in sites open year-round, but the drive-in family sites and the accessible cabin operate seasonally.
Summer weekends are the peak. Sites at Roche-A-Cri fill on most summer weekends, and Buckhorn's electric and drive-in sites sell out well in advance for holiday and weekend stays. Biting insects, including mosquitoes and biting flies, are heaviest from June into August, and mosquitoes are especially thick near the Castle Rock Flowage.
Fall brings cooler nights, thinner crowds, and turning oak and maple color. Winter access is limited: most facilities close, plowing is not guaranteed, and only a handful of rustic sites at Buckhorn remain open.

How to book a campsite
Sites at Roche-A-Cri State Park and Buckhorn State Park are reserved through the Wisconsin State Park System reservation platform at wisconsin.goingtocamp.com or by calling 1-888-947-2757. Reservations open on a rolling window up to 11 months before the arrival date, with new inventory releasing at 9 a.m. Central Time. Standard sites at these parks are fully reservable.
A Wisconsin State Park vehicle admission pass is required for every motor vehicle brought into the park, in addition to the nightly camping fee. Nonresident campers pay a per-night surcharge on top of the site rate.
Private campgrounds in the area, including Pineland Camping Park, Summer Hideaway RV Campground Resort LLC, and Point Bluff Resort, book directly through each operator's website or office. If a state park is full, the reservation system's Notify Me function alerts users when a cancellation opens a matching site.
What to expect at the campgrounds
Roche-A-Cri is a rustic campground. Most family sites accommodate tents or trailers, but only four have electric hookups, so RV renters should arrive with full fresh water and charged batteries. A dump station is located near the park office. Sites sit in a forest of oaks and pines, and length limits on trailers can be tight at some sites.
Buckhorn is a step up in amenities on the drive-in side, with a small set of family sites, an accessible cabin, and access to shower and flush toilet facilities. Cart-in sites are set apart from the road for a more remote feel, and shared garden carts help haul gear from the parking areas to the water's edge.
Only certified firewood or wood sourced within 10 miles of the park may be brought in; buy it at the park office or from a local certified dealer.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Friendship, WI
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Friendship, WI?
RV rental in Friendship is one of the more affordable ways to experience central Wisconsin's lake country. Travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $275 per night, and larger Class A coaches run $250 to $400 per night, depending on age, size, and season.

rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Friendship%2C%20WisconsinWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Friendship, Wisconsin?
Great news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Friendship, Wisconsin. The state of Wisconsin does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special endorsement for personal RVs, even larger Class A motorhomes. On RVezy, you'll just need to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and ID confirmation happens right through the platform when you book. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before you fly in. Most first-time renters are surprised by how simple the process is, you'll be cruising County Road Z toward Castle Rock Lake in no time.
wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/dr-license.aspxIs RV insurance and roadside help included with my Friendship RV rental?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Friendship includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 13 with peace of mind. The protection plan covers eligible damage to the RV during your trip and provides meaningful financial protection alongside liability coverage. You choose your protection level at checkout (not the host), so you control how much coverage you want. Roadside help is built in for flat tires, lockouts, and battery jumps, whether you're parked at Petenwell Lake or driving back from Wisconsin Dells. Book confidently knowing support is one call away the entire trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Friendship RV rental?
Booking is low risk because RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy for every reservation. That means consistent, transparent terms across every RV rental in Friendship, including a grace period after booking where you can receive a full refund. Refunds beyond the grace period depend on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date. Cancellation terms are not buried inside individual listings because they are handled at the platform level. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best Castle Rock Lake weekends, knowing the grace period has you covered if plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Friendship?
Yes, a pet-friendly RV rental in Friendship is easy to find on RVezy. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search to see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats). Adams County is great for dog owners: Castle Rock County Park allows leashed pets in the campground, Petenwell County Park has shoreline trails, and Roche-A-Cri State Park welcomes leashed pups on its staircase trail to the bluff overlook. Some hosts charge a small pet cleaning fee, which is shown clearly before booking. Pro tip: message the host before booking to mention your dog's size and breed, it's the fastest way to get a confirmed yes.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/rocheacriCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Friendship?
Yes, RV delivery in Friendship is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many RVezy hosts in Adams County offer delivery to local campgrounds like Castle Rock County Park, Petenwell County Park, or a private property you've arranged. Your host hauls the RV, levels it, hooks up water and power, and walks you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery fees usually scale with distance, often $2 to $4 per mile round trip, with many hosts offering free delivery within a short radius of Friendship. Pro tip: filter listings by Delivery on RVezy and your weekend basically sets itself up.
co.adams.wi.us/departments/parks/castle_rock_county_park.phpHow far can I drive on a Friendship RV trip and how does mileage work?
You'll have plenty of road to roam on a Friendship RV trip. Many RVezy hosts in Adams County include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer Wisconsin road trips. Extra miles typically cost $0.30 to $0.45 each. To plan: Wisconsin Dells is about 25 miles south, Madison is roughly 70 miles southeast, Wisconsin Rapids is about 28 miles north, Door County is around 175 miles east, and Mirror Lake State Park is about 30 miles away. Pro tip: if you're planning a loop through the Dells, Devil's Lake, and back to Castle Rock, look for unlimited-mileage listings, it usually saves $50 to $100.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Friendship%2C%20WisconsinWhere can I camp with an RV near Friendship, WI?
You have great options for RV camping in Friendship. The best campgrounds near Friendship include Castle Rock County Park on County Road Z (a large campground with electric hookups right on Castle Rock Lake), Petenwell County Park on Lake Petenwell (with a harbor of refuge and bathhouse), Pineland Camping Park in nearby Big Flats (full hookups and Wi-Fi), Evergreen Hollows Resort (50-amp full-hookup sites with a private swim pond), and Roche-A-Cri State Park (sites near the famous sandstone bluff, typically open mid-spring through fall). Pro tip: Castle Rock Park's central Wisconsin location makes it an ideal base for exploring both Castle Rock and Petenwell lakes.
co.adams.wi.us/departments/parks/castle_rock_county_park.phpWhen is the best time to rent an RV in Friendship, Wisconsin?
Late May through mid-October is the sweet spot for an RV trip in Friendship, when daytime highs run from the mid-60s in May to the low 80s in July and back to the 60s by early October. Summer (June to August) brings warm lakes for swimming at Castle Rock and Petenwell, while late September delivers stunning fall colors along the Wisconsin River bluffs. Shoulder season camping is excellent for cooler nights and fewer crowds. Pro tip: book the third weekend of September for peak fall foliage and shoulder-season pricing, you'll often save 20 to 30 percent versus July.
weather.gov/mkx/I've never driven an RV before, will I be okay in Friendship?
You'll be just fine, a first time renting an RV in Friendship is genuinely beginner-friendly. Adams County roads are flat, wide, and lightly trafficked, with Highway 13 and County Road Z handling RV traffic daily during summer. Your RVezy host gives a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, water, propane, and the dump station, and you'll have their number plus RVezy support throughout the trip. Many hosts also offer to deliver and set up the RV at your campground so you never have to back into a site. Pro tip: start with a Class C motorhome or a 20- to 25-foot travel trailer, they're easy to handle and perfect for the short hop to Castle Rock Lake or Wisconsin Dells.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
Help is always close at hand. Every RV rental in Friendship through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the standard protection plan, so flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and mechanical issues are one phone call away. Your host is also your first contact for quick questions about appliances or systems, and RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after your trip. Adams County has reliable cell coverage on the main routes (Highway 13 and nearby I-39 to the east), and tow operators serve the Friendship, Adams, and Wisconsin Dells corridor. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN and license plate at pickup, it speeds up any roadside call.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Friendship RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is allowed and a great use of a Friendship RV rental. Popular RV road trips from Friendship include heading north to Minnesota's North Shore, east to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, or south to the Illinois lakeshore. Cross-border trips to Canada may also be allowed but require host approval and confirmation of insurance coverage before you go, so message the host directly through the listing. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: if you're crossing into Canada, ask your host for the vehicle registration and a written travel authorization letter to smooth your border crossing.
