Happy Acres Kampground

Good place to stay. Close to fun activities. They have things for the kids to do if it is raining. The pool area is clean. Not big on the fun zone and could use more access to pond for fishing. We will stay here again.

I stayed here over the past weekend. I was a tent camper with my boyfriend and our two small dogs. I was meeting a family member there to camp so we could spend some time together. The check in process was easy and the ladies up front were nice. The Staff was helpful all weekend. There were some loud campers a few rows down who were blasting loud music. My family has a small child but they were staying in a camper.
If you don’t have kids this probably is not the place for you. There were kids EVERYWHERE. This is advertised as a family place so don’t be shocked when a ton of kids are running in front of your car. I don’t think this is the campgrounds fault, but parents please watch your children better!
I believe my two dogs enjoyed the camp ground. We went on a walk and they seemed to enjoy it. I did not like that the campground was discriminatory towards certain dog breeds. There are good and bad dogs no matter what the breed. I did enjoy seeing a lot of dogs throughout the campground.
Since I was a tent camper I dealt with the outside more. I felt like they should have sprayed the group d’s for mosquitos. They we AWFUL! Bug spray did not help one bit.
You also cannot bring in outside firewood. Which we all found strange. The wood that was sold to us was wet. It took forever for our fire to start.
As far as the little slips this place was okay to stay at.

I hate giving this place 2 star but it should get 1 star but I gave it two for a few reasons. The good things were few but here they are. The staff was very nice and there was a lot to do for kid. They did serve food that was edible. The prices were good for the camp site. The bathrooms were kind of clean and the showers were ok the ones by the main office are the best. Ok now for the issues with camping here. They have a «fun zone» that was way over priced for what it was. The play ground areas were very old and the one spinning ride we would not let our daughter sit on it cause it was rusty and dirty. Our biggest issue was that the people that were camping here were horrible! And that is putting it mildly. The one camp site next to us had Two tents and a pop up, along with6 cars! The 12 children (all had to be under 10) ran wild thought our came site and nothing could keep them out! The oldest of the hellions even walk up tp our tent that my daughter, who is 3 and my sister-​in-​law were laying down in, and tried to step on my daughters head!!! At this point it was 10 pm and I tried to call the office about this but no one was there. The office did call me back right around 11. They said they would send someone to talk to them it did not help. The other thing is while I do curse I do not do it around my child. The way these people spoke and screamed at each other would make a truck driver blush. TrusT me I worked for a trucking company for almost 12 years AND DRIVER HAVE NOTHING ON THIS FAMILY! The nose was not only from this family but from the whole tent area. It was very load till about 4 am. In the morning when I once again went to complain about the night before the lady at the office told me that it is always very noisy in that area.
While it was priced right to camp there I do not think we will be back.

Driving cross country with my kids, and needed an affordable safe place to bed down for the night that could provide a hot shower in the morning. Siri directed me to this place… that is TWENTY MILES AWAY FROM THE INTERSTATE. Finally arrived, greeted by a 60-​something man wearing a jacket that read «security guard.» while puffing away on a cigarette while peering into my window he informed me the office closed at 10 p.m. and that I could not pay the camping fee in the morning when the office reopened. Shocked. Guard suggested that I drive «back to town» (15 miles back towards the interstate) and sleep in the gas station parking lot. So much for a safe place to sleep. Just added another hour onto my drive. Yippee :/​
Wondering about this place? Don’t bother.

Crappy Acres in more like it, I don’t even know where to start with this place, maybe the kids that were sitting on the porch of the cabin we rented when we arrived that had written obscenities all over our picnic table with soap?
Or how about the fact that although the cabin is advertised to accommodate 5 people only two shower towels were provided, and when we asked for two more a production was made about a portion of our $ 50.00 cash deposit being taken if we did not return them. Or maybe my favorite, the fact that the water smells and tastes absolutely putrid, I actually had to find a local fitness center and pay to take a shower, the smell of the water in the cabin literally made me gag.

If you are a tent camper with a bag of quarters for the pay shower then this is the place for you.
If you are a Motor Home this is NOT the place for you; why, because there are no sites with full hookups. If you want to dump you have to disconnect and go to the dump site. The staff says there is a man who will come by and pump you for $ 17.50 and I did arrange for that, but he never showed. The sites have not been maintained and so you cannot level, also the 50 amps truely deliver less than 30. I poped the main breaker with one AC and the microwave.

We camped here for Labor Day weekend 2011. This was our first trip to this campground. I found it through a search for campgrounds in the southeastern Wisconsin area. There is SO MUCH for the kids to see and do here. We are tent campers, so it was very nice to find a campground that keeps the RV’s and tenters separate from each other. However, they do allow tents on RV sites if you are part of a larger group.
The tent area is along a small swimming pond. Be aware that there really is no privacy here. People will walk through your campsite to get to the pond to fish. (We had a site located on the pond — you can reserve a site farther back to avoid this.) People fish along the shores all day long. The swimming pond has a small sandy beach and the water is treated to keep algae at bay. There’s also an aerator to prevent it from stagnating. There’s a raft in the middle for jumping/​diving. There’s a small roped off area for bumper boats and they have 5 different designs of paddleboats — from the standard 2-​seater to a huge dragon. It was fun to watch people rent them. There are kayaks for rental as well. We saw people catch a lot of bluegill and bass. There were also crayfish and frogs.
In addition to the swimming pond, there’s also a small inground pool behind the camp office. There are planned activities all weekend long. There is a petting zoo with emus, donkeys, horses, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and goats. There are a lot of old school coin operated rides like they used to have in front of retail stores. There’s also bumper cars, a 9-​hole mini golf course, and an 18-​hole mini golf course. There are many, many playgrounds all throughout the campground, which is really nice. There’s a pool table and a small game room for the older kids. There is a snack bar by the pool that operates during the day. I did not go into the store, so I can’t comment on that.
We just wanted to relax, so we didn’t use any of the amenities other than swimming in the pond. There are 3 showers behind the camp office and 3 showers in a trailer near the tent areas. The girl who registered me was kind enough to tell me that the showers behind the camp office were nicer, and she was right. They are wider with doors that resemble a western saloon. The trailer showers are narrower and the walls go all the way up to the ceiling, making it feel a bit claustrophobic. However, on a busy holiday weekend, I never had to wait for a shower. Granted, I went at odd times — but the campground was full. BRING QUARTERS! This is the first time we encountered pay showers in all our years of camping. 25 cents gets you 6 minutes, but 50 cents gave us all plenty of time to shower — and I even shaved my legs. (about 15 minutes)
Wood is expensive here. $ 5.00 a bundle, plus tax. There’s a guy down the road from the campground who sells wood off his property for cheaper. We don’t bring our own wood due to environmental reasons. There are trees on the property — the RV area is more wooded, but there are trees throughout the tent area. It’s not like you’re in the middle of a cornfield. Sites are spacious with lots of water stations. We never had any problems with noise, and we were camping on one of the busiest weekends of the year.
There are cabins for rent next to the tent area, which is nice if you have people in your group without tenting equipment. The «lodge» has a bathroom inside and is fully furnished. I did not see the inside of the other cabins to see if they were just shells or if there were beds inside.
The campground staff is super nice and courteous. They clean the bathrooms often. I ran out of TP once, but it was refilled the next time I went. The trailer bathroom doesn’t have a countertop for your stuff. Women know this is important! It rained on our stay, so I needed to dry some stuff. The dryer takes 6 quarters. They drive through the campground nightly to pick up your garbage. Major plus — they recycle here! Ask for a blue bag for the recycling. We had two adults and one teenage boy. We did not leave the campground to explore nearby towns. We spend the holiday weekend camping each year. This year, we tried a new place. They close before Columbus Day weekend, which is kind of disappointing. I reserved the site over the phone and only had to pay the first night’s rate for a deposit and paid the rest when we arrived. Super easy check-​in. There is only one way in, and you have to pass the little «guardhouse» and they will check your pass. Very well-​operated campground! You can tell they care about it and invest time into it. I hope they continue to do so and don’t let anything slide. The pay shower situation is a bit weird, but we may go back regardless.
