HICKORY OAKS IS THE KIND OF DESTINATION…

…for those looking for a retreat alternative in the Oshkosh area. While staying in the Fox Valley for the numerous music and sporting events, parks, museums, and downtown shopping experiences, Hickory Oaks provides an optional family camping environment. Imagine your family setting up camp nestled within a woods of majestic oak and hickory trees, surrounded on the east side by a spring-fed, 4-acre lake — and all within a few short miles of area entertainment!

We wholeheartedly welcome and value retiree “snowbirds” during the “kinder months” in Wisconsin, too!

Best option in Oshkosh

All the other campgrounds in OshKosh are near the airport, which makes sense since the biggest event each year is the EVAA air show. None of them have trees.
Hickory Oaks has it's own airfield and lots and lots of trees. They even have a mini-lake (4 acres).
There are all types of RV sites, tenting/primitive sites and group sites, some small cabins as well. We camped in site 60 because we arrived after dark, and Cindy suggested that our first choice, #67 might be too hard to find at night. There is only one street light, and it's by site #1 and the swim area.
The map doesn't really convey what an oasis of trees this place is. To the West is the runway and beyond that, a large grassy hill (it's actually landfill). To the east in a rural road running along the lake. To the north, in the distance is a prison. That all sounds worse than it is, it's a lovely campground.
There are a few things for sale in the office, but you're so close to town you can get everything there. Cindy the operator is extremely nice and helpful.
Fire pits are 30" rings with no grate, Tables seem smaller than average.
If you're visiting in the summer, be sure to visit the Farmer's Market , Saturdays on Main Street, also Wagner's Market for the best meats, deli and beverages. The Paine museum & gardens and the city museum are both worth visits as well.

Hickory oaks

Very nice place to camp. Quite and friendly. Small but accommodates all types of campers. Has 30 and 50 Amp hookups. Tenting up to cabin, they have two. My second year long term camping here. On the edge of the city and close to everything.

Quiet Beauty in the City

Hickory Oaks was amazing! Cindy called to check on us because we were arriving late. They even delivered wood to our campsite so we could have a fire. We saw so much wildlife! Chipmunks, ducks, a great horned owl, and countless birds to name a few. Our campsite was shaded all throughout the day, which helped with the summer heat. Bathrooms are well maintained, showers are free, and there is ice cream and some camping stuff for sale in the office.

We will definitely be coming here again!

Love this no frills park

2nd time camping here. Beautiful quite campground over Labor Day 2020 weekend stay. Close to many things to do and see around the Oshkosh area. Fly in to the grass strip if you want to camp. Nice friendly staff. Clean restroom and shower area. Will definitely stay here again.

Solid, not special

Stopped over one night. Small beach entertaining for kids but not very useable for adults. Well stocked pond, easy to catch bluegill. Wasn’t crowded when we went but would be tight if full. Stayed in a self-contained RV so didn’t use all facilities. Not as good as expected based on other reviews.

Enjoy it but could be better

We have camped here for 9 years for Country USA. The shower and restrooms in the office building are nice but there are some things they could do to improve the campground. You can’t park at your site unless you have have a site with a gravel pad. Even if you have a woven mesh mat outside your camper they don’t like you to have it out. They did improve the electric service a couple years ago. Generally pretty quiet.
