Best time to visit Devil's Lake State Park
Late May through early October is generally the best window for RV travel, when campgrounds are fully open, beaches and concessions are operating, and the bluff trails are clear of ice. Summer weekends and holidays book up far in advance, so midweek stays or shoulder-season trips in late May and September offer cooler hiking weather and fewer crowds. Fall color peaks from late September through mid-October across the Baraboo Hills. Winters are cold and snowy, with limited services and some camping loops closed.

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 get to Devil's Lake State Park
Devil's Lake State Park is about a 45-minute drive (roughly 40 miles) north of Madison via US-12, and around 2.5 hours (about 120 miles) west of Milwaukee via I-94 and US-12. The Wisconsin Dells lie about 20 minutes to the north, making it an easy add-on for RV road trips. Approach roads are standard two-lane highways without major tunnels or steep mountain passes, but interior park roads are narrow and curving, so larger rigs should use caution near the South Shore area. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Dane County Regional Airport (MSN) in Madison.
