How Lake Wissota reservations work

Booking window: Wisconsin State Park sites open 11 months in advance at 9:00 AM Central Time on a rolling daily basis through wisconsin.goingtocamp.com. Popular Lake Wissota weekends can sell out within minutes of opening.

The 9 AM scramble: have your account logged in, your dates and party size ready, and refresh exactly at 9:00:00. Seconds matter for marquee parks.

Sold out? Cancellations are constant. Plans change and sites free up daily — especially around the 2-days-before refund cutoff. The trick is being first to know. That's what CampScoutWI does: we watch Lake Wissota continuously and text you the instant a matching site opens.

Never miss a site at Lake Wissota again.

Free alerts the moment a cancellation opens up. You book it in your own account.
