Walkers Point Recreation Area

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Lake access draws campers to Walkers Point Recreation Area, a state-managed campground accommodating RVs up to 60 feet with electric hookups and full amenities including showers and a dump station. Sites sit close together near the water, creating a compact layout that some campers find tight but functional. Trees provide some wind protection during storms, though the lakeside location remains exposed to weather. The campground operates year-round with reservations available, and nearby options include camping spots near Madison for those seeking alternatives in the region.

Nice views

Smallish campground on the lake. Sites are a bit close together. Huge thunderstorm came during the night but winds were blocked somewhat by location and trees.

Beautiful

Fantastic campsites right by the lake. The sites themselves seem a little small and closer together than I would prefer but was a great experience!
