We had the best time here! We camped for 3 days with the kids and ended our trip here. We stayed at the Radisson Blue hotel which is attached to the mall. So nice that you never have to get into your car! We used a hotel website to get a super-low price and the Radisson matched it. Our room was so nice and the hotel is so clean. We got the wristbands for the amusement park (pretty pricey but worth it). It was a weekday in June and I think that Minnesota schools must have still been in school. We arrived at the amusement park when it opened at 10am and practically had the whole place to ourselves! We have a 5yr old and a 13 yr old. and they were both thrilled (which hardly ever happens at the same time). We stayed only 2 days because of the cost, but we could have easily stayed 2 more, there is so much to do!
We had some trouble getting here, Google maps had us on every unpaved road in the area. I suggest staying on the highways, even if it adds a bit to your time.
The cave tour was excellent! There were kids off all ages on the tour and they all loved it. Our guide was amazing.
We stayed in the camping cabins- Lily. It is a very nice one room cabin with two sets of bunk beds and a table. It has it's own porch and fire pit. The kids LOVED it. The cabin was clean and charming.
There were some problems. Where the cabin is located, there are only pit toilets. It was fine for most of the family, but the 5 year old was SURE she was going to fall in and was terrified. There are no showers in this area. The nearest showers are just a short hike or drive away, but they are practically in someone else's campsite so it was a little awkward. Lastly, there is NO CELL SERVICE here. A sign in the cabin says to call 911 from the pay phone at the office if you need help, but that is REALLY far away. It would not be possible for one of the kids to get there if they needed help. We opted to sleep with the windows closed for safety and it was so hot! Overall, the cabins are a great place if you are looking for privacy and a place to be at one with nature.
Excellent family camping! By far the cleanest campground I have ever been to. We stayed with our kids in Quartzite camp ground. The sites are large so you can see all of the campers, but your neighbor isn't listening in on your conversations. The grounds are very well kept and mowed. The bathrooms and showers are modern and super clean! Every staff member was very friendly, from the entrance to the ice cream shops.
There are two beaches. The sand beach is shallow and the water is so clear. On the other side of the lake is a pebble beach. We needed water shoes, but it was much less crowded and the kids loved looking for rocks. There are breathtaking hiking trails for all levels of hiking abilities. Don't miss the paddle boat rentals, cute little ice cream/ gift shops, and nature center. About 20 minutes to Wisconsin Dells which came in handy when it rained one day. I cant say enough about this place!
