Wisconsin Dells RV Guide: Waterparks, Eats & Camps
Manage episode 512265907 series 3526790
We RV’d to Wisconsin Dells and turned the trip into your complete guide—what it’s really like to tow in, which campgrounds to pick (and avoid with big rigs), classic mini golf, the Upper Dells boat tour, can’t-miss breakfast spots(Paul Bunyan’s Cook Shanty!), and a bucket-list supper club (Ishnala on Mirror Lake). We also share weekday crowd hacks, road-closure gotchas, height/grade notes, and what we’d do differently.
What’s inside
• Driving in: detours, county roads, shoulders, weekday hack
• Where we stayed: Sherwood Forest RV Park (tight turns, big-rig section, steep hill)
• What to do: Upper Dells boat tour, Ducks, Pirate’s Cove & Timber Falls mini golf
• What to eat: Paul Bunyan’s Cook Shanty (donuts!), Courtyard Café, Ishnala supper club, Cow’s Corner (Rome, WI)
• RV sizes that fit, parking tips, budget & our honest verdict
