Brooklyn sits right on Highway 92, which connects directly to Interstate 94 about 15 minutes east near Evansville. This puts you on Wisconsin's main east-west corridor, making Brooklyn easily accessible whether you're coming from Milwaukee, Madison, or points west toward the Mississippi River. Highway 92 itself is a pleasant drive through dairy country with gentle hills and well-maintained pavement that handles RVs of any size without issues.
From Madison, take Highway 92 west for a straightforward 45-minute drive through small farming communities. The route passes several Kwik Trip stations in Evansville and Oregon if you need fuel or supplies before reaching Brooklyn. Coming from the Wisconsin Dells area, Highway 23 south connects to Highway 92 for about an hour's drive through scenic countryside.
Watch for farm equipment on Highway 92, especially during planting and harvest seasons in spring and fall. The road has good shoulders and passing zones, but give tractors and combines plenty of space. Brooklyn's main street (Highway 92) has a Casey's General Store for last-minute supplies, plus a small grocery store if you need to stock up before settling into your campground.
Fuel prices in Brooklyn run slightly higher than in Madison but lower than tourist areas like Wisconsin Dells. The Casey's typically offers competitive diesel prices for motorhomes and trucks pulling travel trailers.
