Twin Valley Campground

Ever stood beneath a forest canopy so dense it filters the sunlight into a mosaic of gold and green? Twin Valley Campground in Governor Dodge State Park offers this serene immersion, blending wooded privacy with well-maintained amenities ideal for both tent and RV campers.

The campground features 269 sites, including options with electric hookups, nestled among mature trees that provide natural barriers between sites. Clean restrooms, hot showers, and a dump station cater to comfort, while hiking trails like the Lost Canyon route lead to limestone bluffs and a seasonal waterfall within minutes of camp. Two spring-fed lakes—Cox Hollow and Twin Valley—support kayaking, fishing, and swimming, with boat launches available onsite.

Just 4 miles from Dodgeville, the campground serves as a gateway to the Driftless Area’s rugged terrain. Nearby, the House on the Rock’s surreal art installations and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin estate offer cultural diversions under 15 minutes away. Winter camping is possible here, with select plowed sites and pit toilets available.

Governor Dodge’s 5,000 acres ensure quiet despite weekend crowds, with equestrian trails and backpacking sites adding variety for extended stays. The campground’s balance of accessibility and seclusion makes it a favored choice for families and nature seekers alike.
