Tunnel Trail Campground

Really liked this place. I have an aversion to the RV parks with too many people and too many activities (a red flag is when regulars zip around in golf carts). This had none of that and was just the right size.
Brought an RV — had a nice site. We didnt bring the kids — lots of noise coming from the pool but it was lights out (and quiet) at 9pm.
Right on the trail is nice. I got a flat about a mile out and the owner had me on my way with a new inner tube for $ 5 in no time.
He said he is thinking of having Spotted Cow on tap next year — I will be back — dont let me down!

Are you looking for a campground on the Elroy/​Sparta trail? Please look somewhere else! This place has the most rude management I have ever experienced. I couldn’t believe this guy! The location is, of course, great because its right on the trail. You can do better though. They don’t have full hookup and the rates are WAY to high for this dump.

Clean. Right on the trails. Really nice sites, spacious grassy. About the only shortcomings are the size of the pool, which isn’t terrible and the restrooms could use an upgrade.
The price more than makes up for it.
Very close to a number of attractions, Kickapoo river, wild cat mountain state park.

I’ve camped at Tunnel Trail a few times, mostly as a kid but we went back this August to celebrate my dad’s birthday.
Our main purpose was to bike the Elroy Sparta trial; this campground is located 10.5 miles from the beginning of the trail and between the first and second tunnel. On Saturday we biked northwest to the third tunnel (26 miles round trip) and on Sunday we biked southeast to Kendall (9 miles round trip). I’ve reviewed the trail separately. That amount of biking was perfect for us so the location of the campground worked out great.
My main complaint is the price of site rental. We had six adults in three tents and they required us to reserve two campsites plus pay $ 7 per day for each adult over two per campsite and a parking fee for an extra car. For two nights it was almost $ 200 which is a prohibitive price for a lot of campers/​families. If my dad did not have a strong desire to return to this particular campground I would have looked elsewhere due to the price.
In terms of amenities, the sites are nice with room for parking. The pool was inviting after a long day of biking, however when we went to shower the water had been shut off and was not fixed for at least an hour. Finally, my boyfriend rented a bike both days and the bike was in good condition, a good option for anyone without a bike or a bike rack.
Overall I am a fan with a little sentimentality involved. However I will not be back soon (and can’t give a 5 star) due to the overpriced camp site rates.

We can’t say enough good things about Tunnel Trail Campground. We just got back from an extended weekend with our kids and grandkids. We rented two of the cabins and had 2 tent sites! The campground is clean, safe and the perfect place to reconnect as a family! The little kids (and big kids) love the pool and mini golf! Thanks for providing such a beautiful place for us to get back to nature and enjoy being together as a family!
