If you are a frequent camper of this park or a new family wanting to strengthen your bond, there are few places like this KOA! Young & young-at-heart have a fantastic time screaming down the 300ft waterslide or taking a dip in our 9ft deep heated pool. We have rental bikes, 18-hole mini golf, and two playgrounds. Not only that, but there's our beloved Jumping Pillow that keeps everyone bouncing.Have you always wanted to enjoy the river with a canoe/kayak or tube trip? We offer all three options here at the Hayward KOA, providing safe pick-ups and drop-offs for a relaxing time on the Namekagon River. Not only do we offer these regular amenities throughout the summer, but we also add some fun & excitement with our themed weekends!

The sites were staggered in such a way that it was confusing as to which way to pull in. You and your neighbor are able to watch each other eat, campfire etc. So our site wasn’t very private. Everyone was respectful. Quiet hours observed.
The nearest bathroom to our site was by the water slide. It needs updating. I didn’t feel the showers offered the necessary privacy with the outdated shower curtain.
While I was in the process of checking in the owner/manager engages his staff in a conversation about renting vehicles that need charging or what not. HELLO! Was someone going to finish checking me in? Look I have money. I’m going to spend it at your campground how about giving me some attention!?
The dump station is at the front by the office. It’s hard to dump when you’re pulling in to the campground because it’s on the wrong side of the RV.
You have to circle around as if you’re going to exit the campground to put your RV in a position where you can use the dump station. That means you’re facing on coming traffic and you’re blocking the entrance.
They do have a honey wagon that will come around and clean out black and gray water tanks for a small fee.
A big “SHOUT OUT” to the nice girl working at the counter who drives a blue Jeep. I hope you get lots of ducks. And to the super nice guy who drives the honey wagon. Thank you.
We love coming up to the Hayward KOA and staying in the camping cabins. The kids have always loved the pool and jumping pillow. The camp grounds are always so clean and well maintained and I see staff all around helping if there is something needed. Linda and Bill in the Red Pine food area were welcoming and friendly. My kids enjoyed going and ordering food from there and they enjoyed the choices available. Met George, the manager, and he was very talkative about all the great things that KOA offers there. I love the friendly staff and talking to them about where they were from and what brought them to this location. Can’t wait to go back and stay longer next time!
Lots of fun activities specifically geared towards kids! We loved the pool, the jump pillow, and the playground. The grounds staff were super friendly and facilities were clean although quite dated.
However, the desk staff ranged from apathetic to rude and hostile. It was a busy weekend for sure, but their behavior was pretty unacceptable and by Saturday morning I wasn't going to spend another dollar there and certainly won't be returning.
We had a basic cabin, it was clean, roomy enough for the 2 of us. Did outdoor cooking, a great outdoor kitchen area if you wanted to cook on a stove and sinks with hot water to clean up with. Right in the woods, lots of pinectrees which we loved. Close to town and in the summer there are lots of activities to do
Very nice park. Great for tents, RVs, or renting cabins. Quiet and tucked in the forest. They have a lot of things going on for kids and families. Pool, water slides, tie-dye shirt, movies on the weekends. Bathrooms are clean and showers are hot! We will be coming back, really soon.
