Smokey Hollow Campground is located in Lodi, Wisconsin. They offer many different types of rentals to stay in. If renting cabins or campers (or other unique rentals) isn’t your style there are also tent sites and sites for your personal RV as well.

Each weekend throughout the summer boasts a special theme. Many of the provided activities revolve around these themes.

Rentals

All rental sites have water and electric. They also all come with a grill and a fire pit. It is a park policy that you buy your wood within the park and do not bring your own.

Yurts

The yurts are located right off the swimming pond. They are one big circular room. While they look like they might be on the smaller side from the outside, don’t be fooled: they are very roomy. They offer a kitchen area but, no bathroom. Being by the beach though you are close to both the bathrooms at the store and port-a-potties.

Wagon

The covered wagons are on the smaller side but, make for a very unique experience while at Smokey Hollow Campground. These do not offer bathrooms but, there are bathrooms close by.

Bathrooms

There are port-a-potties located all over the campground. They were the cleanest ones I have ever been around. Not once it ever smell gross or have that well known “port-a-potty scent”. Several times a day I saw someone cleaning them out.

If you prefer, there are also bathrooms with running water and flushing toilets up by the store as well.

Smokey Hollow offers free wifi within 20-30 feet from the store. The password is posted in a few different places so you can easily sign in.

Store

Right next to the registration office there is a store that offers a wide range of items. Their prices are fantastic compared to many places we have stayed. While you can get necessities like ice, coffee, soda, adult beverages, non perishables and wood, you can even find some unique items in the store. I was very please with how reasonable the prices were for most items.

Food Delivery

You can order food from the kitchen located in the store and have it delivered for free to your campsite. The menu has a good variety of items and the prices are pretty reasonable.
