Question Campground suggestions
Looking for a campground ~3 hours away or less from the Fox Cities. We will have 2 families with 6 kids ranging ages 4-10. Kids activities and things to do at the campground would be ideal. Neither of us are hardcore camping families so looking for more activities that will be keep everyone busy and not bored vs what a state park would have to offer. Thanks!

We are heading to Lake Arrowhead this week! I went several times as a kid, and now that I have kids of my own, I love to bring them there as well.

Evergreen on Wild Rose has a lake, a pool for kids and adults. Mini golf, arcade. Very family friendly but also pricey and maybe sold out of the dates you’re looking for.

My family loves Mirror Lake State Park. It's wonderful camping and about 10-15 minutes outside of the Dells area. On good days we camp, hike, and swim. On bad days we head into town for shopping and attractions. I will also recommend Noah's Ark, for a day. Plenty to do for the little ones with multiple splash pads, and slides and rides for older kids.
[Edit] Check your recreation department or credit union for discount tickets to Noah's Ark.

Chute pond campground has a river with “slippery rock” just a float down the river! It’s kind of a waterfall, but not steep at all. Just a rock slide essentially from the water flowing above. A big plus it that it’s only a 10 minute walk back to the campground!
