The host was very friendly and helpful with the 411. The sites are close enough together that it doesn't feel very remote though. Unfortunately, it was very extremely high temperatures so I didn't get to explore the hiking trails. But the beach and amphitheater were definitely worth checking out. Educational programs and food truck Saturdays. Wi-Fi is a little spotty so they recommend cash. The grounds are very clean as well as the restrooms and showers. Definitely feels like you're someplace else even if you're from the state of Wisconsin.

There are tons of picnic tables and plenty of people had parties meeting up at the beach. The bathrooms by the beach were pits, but were well maintained. The pit toilets did have a good amount of coop flies. The campground had very nice bathrooms, and has showers for after your swim. Many of the campsites were further from the road which made it a bit more secluded and gave us a sense of privacy. Will definitely be back!

We have stayed in numerous parks over the years, and believe that Badgerland exceeds all expectations. Easy check-in, awesome customer service, great location, well kept grounds, and just the right of amenities. On a side note, I would be highly suspicious of any negative reviews. Once you have stayed here you'll understand. It doesn't get better than this, we would recommend to all who can appreciate quiet and low stress locales. The nearby town is easy to access and has shopping options like Aldi, Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, and restaurants.

There's a huge rock formation that definitely catches your eye, but the path leading up to it isn't well paved. You'll need to navigate through some tall brush if you plan to climb up. I wouldn't suggest attempting it unless you have proper shoes and decent balance (or a good core!). We saw a few adventurous teenagers make the climb, though. Aside from that, there are several nearby trails that are much better maintained and perfect for a casual walk or light hike. Overall, it's a nice county park with plenty of parking spaces to explore, especially if you're in the area and want a bit of fresh air and nature.

We parked at Pop's Knoll which has a gravel parking lot for about 20 vehicles. About 100 meters from the parking lot is an area with a covered shelter with picnic tables and a toilet room. What really surprised me about this park was how well the trails were maintained and marked with numbers so you have reference points to know where you are on the park map. Consists of multi-use trails for hikers and horseback riders, as well as hiking trails for pedestrians only. A good mix of trails through corn fields, wooded areas, and grassy paths along streams. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed at all times. I highly recommend.

The chicken noodle soup was good. They didn't skimp on the ingredients. The salad bar was fine. Nothing special. Some of the ingredients tasted like they had been refrigerated for quite awhile.

We were looking forward to a Friday night fish fry, but were a bit disappointed. First, they forgot…read moreabout our table and apparently didn't assign us a server so we waited 10 minutes or so before that was sorted out. The table itself was good, by a window, but the floor under it was gross, with food and crayons and stuff. They sprayed the table top with bleach before seating us, if you can believe that, yum. The food was passable but bland. The salad bar was super-unlit, perhaps so you didn't notice how the salad stuff was getting mixed together. The old fashioneds were good. I liked the clam chowder although it was a little salty. After our comments they did try to accommodate us a little. Next time I think we will try another place for fish fry.

Dear Cedar Hills Community,…read more Please help me spread the word! You may or may not be aware of the situation that happened on campsite #9, well known as the "golf course", and what happened to the couple that purchased and renovated the campsite (fully remodeling the whole camper) Let me tell you... I had the pleasure of meeting them at Cedar Hills and watching the transformation of their campsite Mid-September Dennis & James (Jimbo) Sohol sold the camper to a woman named, Tami. This quickly became her dream! And Zak helped by gutting the moldy camper as it was severely damaged by mice infestation, repairing way more than they expected with water damage but flipping the camper and making it look amazing! Well conveniently after the camper was almost complete Dennis changed his mind and said the camper isn't for sale anymore!!! WHAT! At Cedar Hills Halloween party Dennis pulled Zak aside and told him the camper wasn't for sale anymore he requested receipts and would reimburse for the bldg materials & the $1,000 down payment. but he would not pay for labor for their time!!! It was a total of $2,088.71 I know so many people at Cedar Hills stopped by to see the campsite, ask about the golf course, they worked hard as they were so excited to enjoy the newly remodeled camper and view! Tami & Zak gave Dennis receipts and he has been going back and forth with them saying he doesn't remember his conversations, constantly changing his mind on what he says!! I stopped by the campsite to see their progress a few weeks ago and they surely turned that campsite around. They would "light up" as they showed you everything they had done. It didn't even look the same as it had prior! All of the neighbors were excited and so many people were happy at Cedar Hills to hear about the renovation! There was a lot of talk if they were still going to let people use the golf course! This breaks my heart even more listening to this story so I want to start a Go Fund Me Page to get their $2,088.71 back (they have receipts for everything!) Please please please pass this around Cedar Hills and let's come together as a community and help Tami & Zak get their money back!!!! Shame on you Dennis! I have decided that I cannot go back to Cedar Hills ever again!! This story was too sad for me and my friends to learn about after we saw what they did to the campsite! I have included a few before & after photos that they shared with m

We were staying at the Holiday Inn in Middleton, and I decided to check out this park.

The maintenance people have done a great job cutting trails through the fields. There is a paved trail also (for bicycles and hikers), but I didn't take it. I sure wish I lived closer to this little park! Living in Cincinnati, it is just a little too far for me to drive.

There is no additional fees for using the trails unlike some other state parks. It was a weekday so it was pretty empty - good for us. There was a fresh inch of snow on top of a good base. We skied the un-groomed Woodlands trail which was very nice and then the groomed Morningside trail which was better. The grooming really helped. If it were windy that trail would be a bit exposed. We will definitely return to ski.
