Everyone we saw had tents or simple popups. Since there is no electricity there wasn't music blaring. People were friendly and chill. Dogs were well behaved and leashed. The vibe was great! Three stars mostly because the vault toilets are some of the worst I've seen. Survivable, but there aren't any working lights. The light from the outside that lets in fresh air through an open screen over the pit. Don't look. But it's hard not to when you need light. We glamped a bit with a Trelino portable composting toilet (highly recommend, no need for chemicals or fuss) as well as a bag shower we got from Walmart. The water near campsite 3 has poor water pressure. Use the one further down by the toilets.

But we finally went here to meet friends on a warm late May Sunday for a hike. We did the big loop around the perimeter of the park about 5 miles - boy there are a lot of hills. Very deceptive. The trails are well marked and in good shape. We did see the walk-in camping spots which looked interesting and somewhat private but pretty close to highway 69. There was a small picnic area where we ate our lunch afterward - it was nice enough. Overall not a bad park but it just doesn't have the big draw of nearby parks like Blue Mounds, Gov Dodge, Mirror Lake, etc.

I wish I could say more good things about this park. It could really be a great place. It has a…read morenice splash pad, a playground and a shelter area with restrooms and picnic tables. However, we have had enough bad experiences there that we don't visit it anymore. There is always broken glass and trash around the shelter. People often smoke in or around the shelter; sometimes even in the restrooms. At times people blast music in or near the shelter so that you have to endure ear-splitting noise if you need to use the bathroom. Anyway, in short this is a lovely place that is spoiled by the people who use it.

The Badger State Trail runs from Madison WI to Illinois, where is meets up with the Jane Addams trail that proceeds south to Freeport, IL. The Badger is a beautiful trail but one word of caution, there's a $5 daily fee or yearly fee required to ride it. I didn't have a fiver on me so I rode without paying, but I did see a trail worked that likely checked bikers for payment slips. So..be careful. I rode the path from south of Monticello, north past Belleville WI and back. This stretch of path includes the Stewart Tunnel, which was easily one of the most interesting things I've seen on any bike path I've ever ridden. Built in the 1880's, this tunnel is about four tenths of a mile long and contains no lighting inside. Once you lose the grace of the light coming from one end of the tunnel, you'll be in complete darkness until you catch light from the other side. Depending on how fast you ride, that might take a couple minutes. I used the flashlight app on my phone to illuminate the ground as I didn't want to hit something and take a spill in the dark. That and I went slowly, just to be on the safe side. If you go through the tunnel I highly advise you go slow and use a flashlight or light shedding device. That I experienced, the trail was flat and smooth in here, and nothing except the brick walls surrounded me. The rest of the trail is kept up okay. I like a trail that goes from town to town with country in between, so the Badger kept me happy. I'm looking forward to doing more stretches of this trail in the future and hope to see reviews from other riders who've done different sections. Cheers.

Burrows Park is a hidden small park from the street view but truly an amazingly serene little park that is one of many tiny hidden treasures of Madison. Burrows Park overlooks the Mendota shores, has a large stone park shelter, small playground, & restrooms. It is also home to more than one sacred Native American Effigy mounds including an extremely large bird shaped Effigy mound. Many people go there to relax, meditate, and it is a very peaceful place with an amazing view of the sunset. You can feel a certain beautiful positive charged energy coming from that whole area. People often rent out the stone shelter which has picnic tables for company picnics, baby showers, family reunions, etc. It is very affordable to rent out and can hold many people. I love this wonderful park so much, this is where we had our wedding rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony!
