    About Lake Kegonsa State Park

    Escape to Lake Kegonsa State Park Campground, where towering hardwoods create a shaded sanctuary along the shores of a pristine 3,200-acre glacial lake. Despite being just minutes from Madison, you'll feel transported to Wisconsin's north woods as you explore trails winding from your site to sandy beaches and watch the sun paint spectacular colors across the water each evening.
    Family campground with numerous electric sites set in a mature hardwood forest; accommodates tents and RVs.
