If you run a 40-foot Class A or tow a fifth wheel, the deciding factor near Baraboo is not the view, it is the hookup. Devil’s Lake State Park, the area’s biggest draw, offers water and electric only and puts the dump station at the far end of a drive you have to make with your tanks. A full hookup site fixes that: water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric at the pad, so you run the air conditioning through a humid July, dump on your own schedule, and pull out clean.
This guide covers full hookup RV parks near Baraboo, the kind built for big rigs and longer stays. We lead with Baraboo RV Resort, our full-hookup base 10 minutes from Devil’s Lake, then line up the other options on hookups, amp service, and pull-through access so you can match the site to your rig.
Why Full Hookups Matter Near Baraboo
Sewer at the Site, Not at the Far End of a Drive
Devil’s Lake State Park offers water and electric only, with no sewer at individual sites and a dump station you have to break camp and drive to. A full hookup site at Baraboo RV Resort puts sewer right at the pad, so you dump on your own schedule and never tow your tanks across a parking lot. On the way out, you pull straight from a clean hookup onto US Highway 12.
30 and 50-Amp for the Humid Stretch
July in the Baraboo Range brings highs in the mid-80s to low 90s with real humidity. Both 30-amp and 50-amp service are available here, so a big coach can run two air conditioners without tripping a breaker and a smaller trailer still gets a clean, reliable feed. Full hookups turn a hot week into a comfortable one.
Pull-Throughs and Easy Big-Rig Access
The resort sits right off US Highway 12, which connects to I-90/94, with no narrow or winding backroads on the way in. Pull-through sites handle a 40-foot Class A or a long fifth wheel without the backing-in headache, and the mature tree cover holds shade over the pad. It is a setup built for the rigs the state park is not.

Baraboo RV Resort by RJourney
Baraboo RV Resort gives big rigs what the state park down the road does not: full hookups (water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric) on shaded pull-through and back-in sites 10 minutes from Devil’s Lake State Park. The resort sits on Terrytown Road in West Baraboo, off US Highway 12, in a wooded pocket of the Baraboo Range, with no narrow backroads on the way in. Wisconsin Dells is about 15 minutes north, close enough for a waterpark day and far enough out to sleep somewhere quiet. Sites tuck back into mature trees, so the shade holds up through a humid July afternoon, and an on-site dump station means you never have to drive your tanks anywhere. The resort runs seasonally, roughly May through October. Baraboo RV Resort is owned by RJourney and managed by Advanced Outdoor Management.
Sites & Hookups
Every RV site at Baraboo RV Resort runs full hookup: water, sewer, and electric at the pad. Service comes in both 30-amp and 50-amp, so a small travel trailer and a 40-foot Class A both have what they need, and you can run two air conditioners on a humid afternoon without juggling the breaker. Sites come in pull-through and back-in layouts, and the pull-throughs are the standout here: roll in off US Highway 12, level up, and roll out the same way without backing into a tight spot after a long haul. Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table. Tent sites carry water and electric hookups too, with room to spare; one guest fit two ten-by-ten tents, a canopy, and two cars on a single site. The wooded layout is the part guests bring up most, with mature tree cover that holds real shade and sites far enough apart that you are not stacked on your neighbor. An on-site dump station rounds it out, so even tent and water-electric guests have a place to empty tanks before they leave.
What's On-Site
For a park this size, the on-site list runs long. The pool opens Memorial Day and runs through Labor Day. A swimming pond with a floating obstacle course gives kids a second way to cool off. Mini golf, a jumping pillow, a basketball court, a volleyball court, a playground, a dunk tank, and giant chess, checkers, and connect four cover the rest of the daylight hours. The Baraboo Snack Shack handles food on-site, with pizza, ice cream, and quick options. The camp store stocks snacks, firewood, and essentials, and a propane fill station keeps your tanks topped off. There is a pavilion for group gatherings, a game room for rainy afternoons, a dog park, laundry, and pedal cart rentals. Themed weekends run the length of the season, from Christmas in July to glow parades, with water wars, potlucks, game tournaments, and craft sessions.
What Guests Say
Baraboo RV Resort holds a 4.0-star rating across 343 Google reviews. Three things come up again and again. First, the full hookups and the room between sites, which big-rig owners single out alongside the easy pull-through access. Second, the spread of on-site activities (the pool, the pond, mini golf, the jumping pillow) that keeps families with kids busy without leaving the campground. Third, the location: about 10 minutes to Devil’s Lake State Park and 15 to Wisconsin Dells. Returning guests talk about the themed weekends, and tent campers single out the water and electric hookups at tent sites and the room to fit multiple tents and vehicles on one site.
Other Full Hookup RV Parks Near Baraboo, WI
Baraboo RV Resort is the full-service full-hookup pick, but a few other parks offer hookups for RV travelers in the area. Hookup configurations, availability, and policies change, so call ahead to confirm sewer and amp service before you book.
Fox Hill RV Resort & Campground
A 70-acre park with full hookup RV sites, cabins, and tent sites, plus a camp store that delivers firewood to your site. It focuses on the basics: level pads, reliable full hookups, and a quiet setting. A good option for RVers who want sewer at the site without a pool or activity schedule. Visit website.
Dell Pines Campground
A family-friendly campground with full hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, and tent camping near Baraboo, Wisconsin Dells, and Devil’s Lake. The location splits the difference between downtown Baraboo and the Dells attractions. Confirm site length and amp service if you are running a big rig. Visit website.
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, Wisconsin Dells
A theme water-playground resort in the Dells proper, with waterpark features, an activity pool, a hot tub, themed activities, and multiple accommodation types. RV sites have full hookups and the park runs a packed activity calendar. The trade-off is a busier, louder environment than Baraboo’s wooded parks, with nightly rates that run higher in peak season. Visit website.
Devil's Lake State Park Campgrounds
Three campgrounds (Quartzite, Northern Lights, and Ice Age) inside one of the best state parks in the Midwest. Water and electric hookups only, no sewer at individual sites, and an on-site dump station you have to drive to. Sites book months in advance for summer weekends. The setting is hard to beat, but it is not a full-hookup setup for big rigs. Reserve through Wisconsin State Parks. Visit website.
Things to Do from Your Full-Hookup Base in Baraboo
Devil’s Lake State Park, about 10 minutes south, wraps around a 360-acre spring-fed lake framed by 500-foot quartzite bluffs. Swim at two sandy beaches on the north and south shores, rent kayaks and paddleboards at the concession stand, or fish for smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. The north shore parking lot fills before noon on summer weekends, so arrive early or use the south shore entrance off Highway 113.
The East Bluff and West Bluff trails at Devil’s Lake run about 1.5 miles each, with rocky sections and panoramic views from the top, and the park connects to the Ice Age National Scenic Trail for longer day hikes. Rock climbers work the quartzite cliffs. In town, the Circus World Museum sits on the original Ringling Bros. winter quarters with summer big-top performances, and the International Crane Foundation (open May through October) is the only place in the world to see all 15 crane species.
Wisconsin Dells is 15 minutes north, home to Noah’s Ark (the largest outdoor waterpark in the country) plus the year-round indoor waterparks at Kalahari and Wilderness, Upper and Lower Dells boat tours through sandstone formations, go-karts, and zip lines. Closer to home, downtown Baraboo offers a walkable town square with local restaurants, breweries, the restored 1915 Al. Ringling Theatre, and a Sunday Market from June through October.
Seasonal Guide for Full-Hookup RV Travelers in Baraboo
May through June (Early Season)
Campgrounds open in May. Daytime temps range from the 50s to the mid-70s with cool nights, so you will lean on the electric for heat more than AC. Devil’s Lake is less crowded on weekdays, and the bluff trails have wildflowers along the edges. Full-hookup sites are easier to book on short notice, especially midweek, though some amenities may not open until Memorial Day weekend.
July through August (Peak Season)
Daytime highs hit the mid-80s to low 90s with real humidity, which is exactly when 50-amp full hookups earn their keep: run two air conditioners and keep the rig comfortable. Book two to three months ahead for peak weekends, especially around July 4th. Heat accelerates tank odor, so even with sewer at the site, keep a regular dump and flush rhythm.
September through October (Fall Season)
Fall color in the Baraboo Range ranks among the best in southern Wisconsin, and the bluff trails turn gold, orange, and red. Crowds drop sharply after Labor Day and temps settle into the 50s and 60s. This is the sweet spot for full-hookup stays: sites available on shorter notice and comfortable weather. Watch overnight lows, which can dip near freezing by late October, so know where your water-line heat tape is.
Practical Tips for Full-Hookup RV Travelers in Baraboo
US Highway 12 runs through Baraboo and connects to I-90/94. Baraboo RV Resort is reachable from Highway 12 without narrow or winding roads, which matters if you are driving a 40-foot coach to a pull-through site.
