William G. Lunney Lake Farm County Park — Hotel in Madison

The park ranger was extremely rude, and despite the website claiming that we could simply request an extra tent, we got here and then discovered that they are unwilling to make accommodations in order to promote a better and happier environment. We don't necessarily have an issue with just that. It was more so because we had it up for a full day almost 2, and then they commented on it. Although the first day we had 3 tents, not the 2 that we did have. Now we have me my friend, her sister, brother, and me all in a tent. Keep in mind we are all between the ages of 15 and 20. While the other tent has 2 adults and a newborn baby. This ranger also couldn't take responsibility for what he was saying, and kept blaming other rangers. Which felt extremely unprofessional and unfortunately I could never recommend this campground to anyone ever. Now onto the campground itself, we are right next to a highway, we have roughly 10 buffet between us and a very busy highway, along with an extreme amount of airplanes right overhead at every moment in time. The facilities are okay, but not great. However my other big concern is the startling amount of people they kick out every night. They kicked someone out because their dog was slightly loud, however no one really cared too much as it was very tollerable. They kicked out 2 people on our first night, and our second night its only 9:30 and he's...

Public boat launch, a tower over 30 ft high to observe nature & all it's endless fascinating transitions spring through summer, fall & winter. Also included in the park are Indian mounds & archaeological dig sites of various periods of prehistoric settlements. Lots of picnic areas, & open air covered pavilions are available for public or private gatherings, but should be reserved ahead of time. Finally, oodles of hiking & nature observation trails winding through ample size prairie restorations, provide gorgeous vistas of bur oak savanna & prairie openings. The wildflower display is both varied & robust, offering living jewels of native floras & faunas year round. Camera hounds & leisure walkers alike will appreciate the bright, lively colors of warm season species, & in winter the snow clad landscape invites closer inspection to fully realize all the hidden delights. These include icy frost gnome tracings on the lakes & snow cover, animal tracking, gently arching grass tufts sighing in the breeze over winter wonderland light burst effects on sunny days. One of the best experiences for nature deficit disordered little ones after a long snowstorm, cleanup & recurrent bouts of cabin fever. Making spirits bright, that's what William G. Lunney Lake Farms Park...

Enjoy over 300 acres of native beautiful prairie flowers, marshes full of migratory bird life, oak savannahs, and Lake Waubesa.
