Camping at Devil’s Lake State Park is in high demand, especially on weekends and holidays. Reservations open 11 months in advance, and popular dates — particularly summer weekends — fill quickly after the window opens.
This page provides current campground information, reservation details, and practical guidance to help you plan your stay.
The park has 423 individual campsites across three campgrounds. All sites must be reserved in advance through the state reservation system. There are no first-come, first-served sites. See the Camping Fees page for current rates.
The park also offers nine group campsites near the south shore, with a combined capacity of up to 240 campers. These are well-suited for scout trips, reunions, and large gatherings, and typically book early. Verify group site availability and capacity before your visit, as configurations can change.
Winter camping is available at Quartzite Campground, though services are limited. Potable water, flush toilets, and showers are not available during the off-season. The other two campgrounds remain closed until Memorial Day weekend.
None of the campsites are located directly on the lake. All campgrounds are within walking or short driving distance of the shoreline, but there is no lakeside camping at Devil’s Lake State Park.
