Nordic Pines Resort Campground - Baraboo, Wisconsin

Quiet, small campground, super close to Devil's Lake. Bathrooms are small, but cleaned every day, and are better than the bathrooms you'll get in the state park! Great for tent camping. I wish they would impress upon campers as they check in that it is rude to make noise after 10pm. As I type this there are kids making a ton of noise a few sites down. Owners were super helpful when I made reservations. Will definitely stay here again.

We've been camping here for decades. They have done a decent job of maintaining the property and the cost of camp sites is fair compared to what's available in the area. It's a family friendly campground with a play area for kids, which was updated a few years ago. The sites are large and can accommodate a decent set up. The campground is small enough that every site is a short walk to flush toilets and running water, but large enough that you don't feel like everyone is on top of you. However, I'm disappointed that they continue to overcharge for the showers. $1 per person per day is outrageous. I'd rather they increase the daily rate for camp sites than to insult me by charging for hot water.

TLUSA Troop WI-1885 had a great time at Nordic Pines this weekend. Management very accommodating arranging for site with electric hook up for one of our campers at last minute, prices on ice, grocery needs very reasonable compared to other campgrounds. Very much appreciated the no alcohol policy and quiet hours. Despite beautiful weather and crowds at Devils Lake the campgrounds were not overcrowded

My fiancee and I and our dog visited Nordic Pines this summer on the fourth of July weekend and we just wanted to say that we LOVED this campground!!! It was so close to Devils Lake we simply crossed the road and we were there, we didnt have to pay the parking at the lake. The bathrooms were so clean and the staff were very friendly-they let us borrow their wire grill to place on the fire pit so we could grill. we HIGHLY recommend this campground and will be back again for our next trip out!!

Very nice, clean, quiet, and comfortable campground! A far better option than the over-booked and crowded state campgrounds in Devil's lake. This was a VERY short walk across the street (maybe 200 yards further than the Quartzite state campground in the park), and without the state parking sticker requirements/fees.

Very affordable family-owned campsite across the street from Wisconsin's 'big kahuna' campground, Devil's Lake. If you're staying here, you're going there, basically. The grounds themselves are pretty bland - not many trees for privacy between other campers, but I suppose there's not much they can do about that.

Their camp store was great, though - everything was incredibly well-priced, like a grocery store. No rip-off prices like a KOA store would be. All and all, I was impressed with the campground; maybe in 30-40 years the trees will be grown up a bit and it will be a much more appealing-looking place.

FANTASTIC! The campground is family-owned and they couldn't be nicer people. The check-in process was quick and easy. The Trading Post has most of the items you'll need/want for a camping/hiking trip, so you don't have to make the 10 minute drive to Wal-Mart. And they even gave us a free movie pass to a theater in Portage. The campground is alcohol-free, so keep that in mind if you planned to enjoy some wine or beer over your campfire.

We stayed in Cabin #3, which is a two-bedroom with a kitchenette, bathroom, and sitting area. It faces the road, but it wasn't nearly as noisy as we imagined. The cabin was nice and VERY clean. It had pots, dishes, hot water, and comfy beds. We visited in mid-August when temps were 87+ degrees. Of course, we were wondering if we'd be miserable in those temps, but we were very comfortable. The hilly landscape combined with some open windows allows for some very nice breezes. In fact, the only time we felt like it was hot inside the cabin was when we cooked on the stove. Our cabin only cost $87/night for two bedrooms, so if you split that cost with another couple, a one-week stay at Nordic Pines will cost the same as one night at some of the "fancier" B&B/cabin options in the area.

Even though we didn't camp in a tent, we drove through the campgrounds. They didn't appear to have a ton of trees for privacy, but, in my experience, that is what most weekend-warrior campgrounds look like. Plus, as another reviewer noted, that's not Nordic Pines's fault, nor can they do much about it. Anyway, the campgrounds are pretty expansive so you probably get all the privacy you need just from how far you are from other campers.

Nordic Pines is literally across the street from the north entrance to Devil's Lake State Park. That means you can save a little money on the parking fees to access the park. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from the campground to the DLSP shore. And, somehow, there are NO mosquitoes anywhere out there.

Nice accommodations. Convenient location. Inexpensive. We loved it and we'll be back.

Tent campers stay here! Quiet campground with spacious shady sites. Walking distance to the park. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff and a reasonably priced camping store, firewood and sites.

If you are tent camping this is a great alternative to park campground.
Thanks for a great stay, we'll be back next go around!
