Bonanza Campground

My favorite campground, plus they are walking distance to a lot of neat places!

You should stay at this park for the location and the free tickets to Noah's Ark. Although the staff were wonderful and there was frequent patrol of the staff, the grounds are very old and in need of much care. This is all eased by the fact that you can walk to the water-parks and that you get four free tickets...any additional tickets can be purchased in their office for half off, and the tickets are good for every day that you stay in their rv park...it is such a deal! We were placed in a site up by the office and pool, and after driving through the park, I would suggest the same. The roads are a bit tight, but we maneuvered just fine in a 38 foot fifth wheel. The price is $60 per night and they have a pool and full hook-ups.

Disgusting campground. Went here with two other families. Was overcharged by $120. Although they said they would refund the amount they never did and I needed to call the credit card company for dispute. Aside from that, the place was a pigsty. Garbage bags full of garbage all over the place. Bathrooms and showers a mess with feces all over the floor and walls and no toilet paper. It took them two days to pick up the garbage bags full of rotting food at our assigned campground which was left there from the previous people. The pool was also full of hairballs and floating garbage so unusable.

If you want to go camping in the dells and you're looking for a noisy spot full of garbage and feces, this is the spot for you!

We arrived after hours. An envelope with our name on it was taped to the door and that is not unusual for after-hours arrivals, but I had a question and called the office phone number. I left a voice mail and never got a call back. A couple of days later, I saw a couple of cars in front of the office so I walked up. The lights appeared to be off, the “open” sign was unlit, but I tried the door anyway and it opened. There were two staff members inside that I found to be friendly and helpful. So, the staff was friendly when I actually found them.

The office building itself needed maintenance and it reflected what we found in the bathroom and laundry. The women's bathroom was old and worn, but serviceable. The tiles were worn and cracked, and one of the showers was out of service. The laundry room had a few machines in it, one was marked as broken. The others were not lined up neatly so it was hard to tell if the machines worked at all.

I chose to do my laundry at a commercial laundromat in town.

Our space was marked as a pull-through, but the road between two rows of pull-through sites was very narrow. It felt more like a path. The sites on our row were short and close to each other.

The site's entry was not angled to the roadway for easy in and easy out. A 90 degree turn was required. I felt like I could not make the turn without driving through the grass on one side of the pad and running the tires of my RV along the other side. A fire ring made that maneuver risky, so I wound up driving through a pull-through site across from ours just to get in. Later, I saw someone do the same thing to get into their site.

The site was on a downslope and it didn't look too bad, initially. We normally need our leveling wedges only to raise the down-hill side of our Airstream. This time, we needed to use wooden planks under the wedges to bring the passenger side of our RV to an acceptable level.

Now, the good... there were large sections of empty campsites so the views through those areas were pretty nice. There were lots of trees changing color. The park itself is located within the entertainment district so proximity to local attractions, restaurants, and pubs was really good.

We were glad to have full hook-ups, but this was our first trip to Wisconsin Dells and we wondered what the other campgrounds looked like. We'll try one next time through.

My wife and I work from the road and we use a Cudy router with ATT service and a GTEN router with Verizon. Connectivity to both services was good.
