Northern Lights campground (sites 104-246) has a variety of campsites and vegetation, with both electric (71 sites) and non electric sites and open/grassy sites and wooded sites. This is the only campground where you will find wooded electric campsites. The campground has a dump/fill station. The campground is about 0.50 miles from the lakeshore. There is a playground near site 140. Two sites are available for people with disabilities. This campground is the oldest campground at Devil's Lake State Park, opened in 1939. Three of the four shower/restroom buildings were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Devil's Lake is one of the busiest parks for camping in Wisconsin and reservations are strongly recommended. Camping reservations for outdoor campsites can be made online or by calling 888-947-2757. Dump and fill stations are free for use by registered campers. Unregistered camping vehicles may use the dump station for a fee of $10 and purchase of an hourly park pass. Dump stations are closed in the off-season to prevent freeze damage, usually from mid-October through mid-April. Other dump stations are in Baraboo. Running water for drinking and other uses at campsites is available at dozens of taps scattered throughout the family and group camp areas. Some water taps include drinking fountains. There are seven running water rest room/shower buildings for use by registered campers in the family campgrounds. Each building has sinks, mirrors, electrical outlets, toilets and individual shower stalls. There is no additional charge for use of showers. There are also non-private showers for swimmers in the Red Oak shelter/concession building. Running water buildings are closed and locked and water taps are turned off from about October 15 to April 15, depending on temperatures. There are no laundry facilities in the park. Laundromats are available in Baraboo. Natural wood from the forest may be gathered for use in your campfire as long as it is both dead and on the ground. Bundles of firewood are for sale in the camp store from 7 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and the north shore Chateau during normal business hours.
