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.
Natural Features and SceneryImagine pitching your tent beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods, where dappled sunlight filters through the leaves and well-established trails beckon you toward the sparkling waters of Lake Kegonsa. This spring-fed glacial lake stretches across 3,200 acres, offering campers both the serenity of wooded seclusion and easy access to shoreline adventures. Most sites nestle deep in the forest, providing natural privacy and that coveted "up north" atmosphere, though if you prefer more sun, sites 1-9 and 87-93 offer partial shade. As day turns to dusk, head to the lakefront where sunset views have become the stuff of camper legend—a daily show of oranges, pinks, and purples reflecting off the calm water.
Geological RegionOn the shore of a 3,200‑acre, spring‑fed glacial lake (Lake Kegonsa).
