What Our Customers Have To Say

"Hi,

"Just wanted to thank you for such a great weekend. The events that are planned are fun and keep the little ones busy as well as the kid in all of us.

"This is our second annual water wars and it was absolutely perfect. The staff is courteous, friendly, and so helpful whenever in answering any questions we might have. We are looking forward to Halloween weekend in September. Again, thanks for providing a clean, safe place to camp."

"To our friends at Smokey Hollow and Baraboo Hills Campgrounds, and Bud Styer Associates,

"Words cannot express how thankful we are for your generous donation to Pardeeville Elementary Schools-Outreach to Teach Project. Our silent auction was a huge success and the camping that was donated was very popular. The auction alone raised over $5,000 and with all of the money raised, we will be able to complete many painting, landscaping and construction projects that have been put on hold because of budget constraints. Your commitment to the community is amazing and very much appreciated!

On behalf of Pardeeville Schools,

"I wanted to let everyone know at Smokey Hollow Campground that my boyfriend and some of our friends had a great time. This was my first time up in Lodi, WI and it was very enjoyable and we are looking to come back again very soon. We just camped and were in site 13 and 14 and it was a great atmosphere, friendly staff, other campers were very welcoming and it was very family friendly. The bathrooms were very very clean so thank you for that! We are from Chicago, IL and I just wanted to let ya'll know it was awesome.

As we were packing up our things this morning, a gentlemen dropped off a DVD of the Water Wars and I am watching as I am typing this and it looks like a blast. I have never seen something like this before at any campground...I love it.

Keep up the great work!"

"I wanted to let you know that we camped over the weekend of August 1st and our family just had a ball! My children really enjoyed the pond (be it ever so cold that weekend), the bikes, the activities and especially the Water Wars. We are trying to plan another trip next summer and getting some of our friends to join us. Thanks again for such a great time and look forward to seeing you guys again next year.

"I am part of a camping group of 16-22 families, with 3yr old to grand parent age campers. Each year, a different family picks a campground within a 2 1/2 hour radius from Janesville. This year, your campground was picked!!

Not only did our kids love it, but the adults enjoyed it also. We all had a blast in the 'swimming pool', using the rental equipment, playing volleyball, watching movies, eating free popcorn, and going on a 'tour bus ride'!

The private bathrooms were wonderful, your karokee was a blast for our 'load' group and we truly enjoyed your friendly staff.

Too often, people will tell you when they don't/didn't like and/or enjoy something. I wanted to tell you that our group of 60 campers had a wonderful 4th of July camping weekend.

Thank you!!!"

Just love all what you have for the children to do. Our grandchildren just can't believe all what you have for them to do. They are on the go from morning till night! We are at site R12 & our son and family at 63. All your employees are so very nice & courteous. We are the Wallace's from Burlington, WI. Thank you so very much."

Fun Night Volunteers, Organizations, and Businesses

On behalf of the Lodi PTO I would like to thank each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication to our annual Fun Night event. Without you to run our games this event couldn't take place. The success we have is because of you.

It is great to see the smiling faces of the kids that have enjoyed the event for years or who are experiencing it for the first time, it makes all the hard work with it. This is an event that is eagerly looked forward to each and every year by the kids in the Primary and Elementary Schools.

Although the weather isn't in our favor we managed to pull the event through again this year and appreciate everyone who came to help out.

Sincerely,

Donna Nath
Lodi PTO Fun Night Committee

Thank You for a Great Weekend!

My family have been there two times now, we have to say it was so much fun. There was so much to do there, we all had a great time with the water toys and with all the fun stuff you had there to do. We all loved the food you have there. We all love the shopping cart ride that was so great, woohoooo. We loved the store -- it has a lot for everyone. The kids got a big kick out of the mining for gems, even I had a great time doing that. The magic show was cool, the movie night was wonderful -- I even watched and laugh so hard.

It was so much fun that the whole family will be coming next year to have fun. We all can't wait to find out what new things you'll be having for the next years fun. My family would like to say that the campground was so clean and well looked after. We are planning our next trip to there already, everyone can't wait for the summertime to come again.

Expectations Exceeded

Dear Owner / Manager,

Thank you.

This past weekend, my son braved the elements (along with his sisters) and played in the water on Saturday. An accident occurred and he fell off an inflatable and hurt his toe. After coming back from the 'ER' (his toe was broken), I asked the front desk if any accommodations can be made about his wrist band. The staff exceeded my expectations and let us switch the band to my oldest daughter (who only used it once, teenagers...), and also awarded us several free ice creams.

Jim is doing better and he is looking forward to our return trip there later this summer.

Again, I just wanted to say thank you to your staff and please keep up the great work at your campground.
