Wisconsin has a lot of great campgrounds, but tucked into the corner of the state you’ll find one of the best. In the little town of Hazel Green you’ll find Coconut Cove RV Resort, a campground that delivers a little bit of the tropics right here in Wisconsin. It’s the ultimate Wisconsin family campground, packed with amenities and ready to welcome people who really need a getaway, whether in their own rig or an RV rental. Read on to see why Coconut Cove Resort is one of our favorite RV campgrounds in Wisconsin.
Coconut Cove is located in Hazel Green, a town that’s in the far southwest corner of Wisconsin, right along the Mississippi River.
If you’re into spartan, rustic campgrounds, you might be happier elsewhere. But if you don’t mind lots of amenities and plenty of family fun, this could be the perfect campground for you.
The resort caters to RV enthusiasts. Each of the campground’s RV spots are full hook up sites, fitted with electric, water, and sewage. It also has premier back-in overnight spots that have fire pits and picnic tables, as well as pull-through sites that come with grills.
No RV? No problem. Coconut Cove has beachfront and lakefront cabins available for rent, as well as glamping pods that have bathrooms, kitchens, and porches.
But the real fun here happens once you’ve checked in. Coconut Cove will take you to the tropics with its tropical-themed beachfront tiki bar and its floating aqua adventure park.
I love southwest Wisconsin – this resort offers a great excuse to visit this area. Learn more about Coconut Cove on the resort’s Facebook page. New to the RV life? Here’s everything you need to know - and check out RVshare to find the perfect RV for your next road trip.
