Glacier Valley Campground is a mid-sized family-oriented campground in Central Wisconsin. Family-owned, it is set in the rolling edge of the area covered by the glacier long ago. With a lined 3/4 acre swim pond and many things to do (pond toys, hiking trails, minigolf, disc golf, etc.) you and your family will find many things to occupy your visit.
First plan on relaxing, then decide what you want to do during your stay! We are in the middle of everything, not in the middle of nowhere. Go one way for under 45 minutes and you are at the Wisconsin Dells, another way for that long and you are at the state capitol in Madison, and yet another way to be at Horicon Marsh.

Services
Since discovering and purchasing a rundown campground with enormous potential, we have been concentrating on improving the camping experience. Our 70-acre facility near Pardeeville and Portage boasts quite a bit of diversity: a large wooded hillside, open fields, old growth woods, and a wetland complete with a small stream.
Besides the wonderfulness (pardon our enthusiasm) of Glacier Valley Campground, there is a lot to do in the area. You can explore Amish Country, go out to eat, or go golfing, among many other wonderful things to do! The Amish community in Columbia and Green Lake counties is one of the largest in the state.
Cancelling a site less than 14 days before the arrival date forfeits one night's camping fee. Refunds are given, less a $15 handling fee, for cancellations farther in advance than that. Campers can reserve sites one year in advance. If you want to reserve the same site for next year you can do that anytime while you are with us.
Yes, we have day passes! As capacity allows, you are welcome to come to Glacier Valley and enjoy our pond, trails, and all the other activities in Glacier Valley. Per-person rates are $8 on weekends and $5 on weekdays. Rates are based on a family unit of 2 adults and their dependent children under the age of 18, maximum of 5 people.
Our campers - weekend and seasonal - gather every Saturday afternoon on the patio all summer long for socializing and relaxing. We provide free popcorn! Our minigolf - like everything else - is included in your camping fee, so there is no additional cost! GV has two playgrounds that are constantly changing and growing, with structures, sandboxes, a Jumparoo, and sand toys.

We were recommended Glacier Valley by a family member in the area and we were not disappointed. When we pulled up at check-in, we found a very long line of campers waiting to dump (we saw this was an issue in Google reviews so was prepared) but finally got a space to go around and get checked in. We rented two of the cabins and the amount of space inside was perfect for this family of 4! Each kid got their own loft, we had a bed with wonderful space.
The number of things to do while there was perfect for the ADHD kids and the ability to sit and watch them do ALL THE THINGS was perfect for this

Great Campgrounds. I can’t say enough good things about the host. While camping there this past weekend we had severe thunderstorms roll through. Saturday night there was a tornado warning. They made sure to announce it, opened up the main store/office for shelter. The host did sing alongs with the kids to keep them from being scared. They also handed out free beer to the adults. The campgrounds are very clean, sites are nice. The pond and inflatables are great. This was our first time here, and we’ll definitely be back again

The pond is a ton of fun. The didn't have the huge slide this visit, but they replaced it with something more fun. A floating obstacle course. It's a blast. It's like playing IRL MXC. "That's right Kenny!" - Vic Romano
Staff is super friendly and our tent sites are clean and serviceable. We stayed in the cabins most recently, they were really nice. They have AC in them, a fridge, microwave, couch, fullsize bed, and 2 sleeping lofts.

Nice swimming pond. Have to pick areas for shaded sites. Annoying speed bumps. Dump station is extremely inconvenient. Long line that blocks main road for the campground so if you are just trying to get to your camper you could be waiting a while. Screwd up our site and put us in one we barely fit and gave large shaded site we had reserved to a small trailer but we made it work and lucky our neighbor was nice enough to let us park truck on their site because we had no room on ours.

This was by far my most favorite campground we have stayed at! The prices in the store are amazing. The sites are nice grassy areas, and nice size too. The beach/swim area is super nice with a lot of floaties. Not to mention it is located in the middle of the campground which is so convenient. Would stay there again!

Awesome campground with all the ammenities and activites one would want for summertime fun! Some of the sites are a little tight, and definitely have an abundance of sun in most instances. Many sites surround their awesome man made swimming pond which is clean and has plenty water items for kids to play on and with. The facilities are clean, the staff works tirelessly to maintain the grounds, and they are extremely nice. The camp store is well stocked with things you may need as well. This is a Gem that we have been coming to for 3 years, and will continue to come to in the future.

**Please note that sites in the 160s do not have 50amp service as stated on their website. Call to confirm your site before booking!** We booked the last two sites for Father's Day weekend and we were pleasantly surprised that the sites were next to each other and were priced at a very reasonable rate! Check in was smooth and quick. Our site was right next to the pond, which was convenient for our kiddos. However, the sites are advertised as 30/50amp but as we began setting up, we quickly realized that was not the case. I called the office to confirm, they sent someone down. He was surprised that
