I've camped here now 2 Springs in a row for a week or so at a time, for the yearly shakedown, and to get out after a long winter. Gives me the chance to work and camp at same time. Peaceful, pretty, spotless, close to Dells, good store, camp in back, not front to be away from freeway. http://www.standrock.com/
It's a little close to the I-90 freeway, so you won't want to camp in the front rows by the clubhouse if you don't want to be in sight of the freeway. However, the back rows of campsites are really nice! (I was in 19). Easy to back into and full hookups in many (not all, check first). Good tall shade trees, but enough sun to enjoy sitting out. The campground is pretty with nice hiking trails (not very well maintained - wear jeans and shoes!) that highlight the midwest pine and oak forest in the rocky Dells. Excellent playground for kids, and farther over is a basket ball court and 6 horse-shoe throwing course thingy's and plenty of room for throwing a Frisbee or playing ball, etc, well away from campers.
The camp store has all the basic camping and RV supplies and soft-serve ice cream. And, being Wisconsin, they have their own tavern, too! (Good low key family-friendly Wisconsin-style tavern, with fresh free coffee in the morning for campers). The pool is nice looking but I haven't tried it as it opens on Memorial Day, and I have camped before then.
Internet connection is probably OK at the camp store, but unusable at sites. Use your Verizon phone/data plan and you will do well, with 5 bars most of the time, and only occasionally dropped connection during work and surfing use this year.
The campground is kept up spotlessly and excellent restrooms, spotless, too.
Overall, very nice place for peaceful camping yet close to Wisconsin Dells. Far better than the next place north of here that shall remain nameless due to it's noisy carousing teens and drunks on golf carts near the river...
