Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends when sites fill quickly.

    Scheffel's Hideaway Campground

    Loved this quiet, clean, and friendly park

    Scheffel's Hideaway Campground Two Rivers, Wisconsin We reserved a site at Scheffel's Hideaway Campground based on a comment from a camping acquaintance that the area was beautiful, friendly, and cooler than average. Since we had never been to that part of Wisconsin, we decided to give it a try. We've been full-time RVers for 14 years and can honestly say this is our favorite spot out of at least two or three hundred other campgrounds including everything from boondocking to resorts. The grounds are immaculate, as are the restrooms and two laundry rooms, which are handicapped friendly. The roads, while unpaved are of a fine shell or gravel and hard packed so these are easy to traverse using a walker. There are miles of popular, well-kept walking/bicycle paths nearby going from Point Rawley to the north, past the park and on to Manitowoc to the south. The owners of the park, Tammie and Paul, love the park and are working tirelessly at making it more beautiful every year. There is a lovely pond, lots shrubs and flowers as well as bat houses, bird houses and feeders(we watched goldfinches as we ate dinner several times), whimsical decorations large and small scattered throughout which are changed with the seasons. A number of sites have shade, and most of those without full grown trees have young trees about 15 feet tall or so and will provide more shade every year. Guidelines for the park are clear and reasonable: guests are asked to respect the space and people which is of course, simple common courtesy. All-in-all, this is is our idea of the perfect combination of a natural and well-kept park and friendly people. We are looking forward to our next, longer visit next year. Thank you for a wonderful three months, Tammie and Paul.

    Naga-Waukee Park by Waukesha County Parks

    Nagawaukee County Park

    Site was clean and flat enough for my two person tent. Restrooms were porta-johns, but very clean. Plenty of free wood available for the fire.

    Long Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit-Iansr

    Beach test positive for ecoli 2x this year.

    If you stay here do not swim.  They have 2 beaches, they test one for ecoli and close it but leave the other one open because they don't have to test both. It's 50 feet away.  If you don't test, it can't be bad.  How stupid.  They rake goose dumplings into the sand.  Who is managing this place? Camping is fine.  Stay off the beach it's not safe.

    Fon du Lac County Waupun Park

    Oak/hickory forest

    The campground is in a beautiful oak/hickory forest with many birds, chipmunks and skeeters(pack protection). We stayed on site 22 which was a nine minute walk from the toilet and had a street light. There are water spigots throughout. Site 21 or 23 would be better. The sites are large and the ones on the outside of the loop are very private. The campground was quiet, especially after dark! There is a train horn occasionally, but it’s distant. The showers were hot and clean. The playground was fun. There is a pickle ball court, so bring paddles. There is also a walking trail.

    Fon du Lac County Waupun Park

    Peaceful wooded camping

    Quiet level throughout. Spots for a couple tents and a camper at each site. Disc golf and a small fishing area. Golf course right next-door so close you could walk to. Most of the sites were in a wooded area, which gives you some privacy. Only downfall for us was distance to the restroom as there’s only one so if you’re in the back of the campground, you gotta walk all the way upfront.

    Waupun Park Campground

    Scheffel's Hideaway Campground

    Rude Owner

    My wife and I were looking for a nice campground in this area so we could visit family and my cousin mentioned Scheffel's. I did not read all of the reviews but instead balanced out bad reviews with good ones. Unfortunately, the bad were not exagerrating. Reservation process was ok though not automated. Reserved in January and female owner stated they dont man the phones much while closed. Ok, she seemed nice. Little reaponse from them on followup emails. We checked in on a Thursday. Husband owner guided us to our site and advised us to be aware of crown. Husband was very pleasant. No issues there. Friday morning my wife and I, both seniors, were walking our dogs. We were walking across the playground, dogs had not done anything yet, when the female owner came charging out of her office screaming at us that we cannot walk the dogs there. She stated there were signs. The one sign on the side we entered was fully obscured by a short tree. We started moving in the direction she pointed and my wife said we always pick up after our dogs. She yelled again. She must have stated 3 times she was the owner. I quietly muttered"wow" as I was amazed at her rudeness. She turned and yelled again and I explained we were moving as directed. She started heading back to the office when my wife stated"God Bless You". She was not being sarcastic. We take our faith seriously. The lady turned around and told us to pack up and leave. No reconciling, no working it out. If we were not out by noon she was calling the police. She refused to give us a refund for the 8 days remaining. She has not returned phone messages or emails. We were 800 miles from home and at the beginning of our family visit, I was born in the area. We were very fortunate to find a suitable campground. I have never in my life ever been treated as rudely by someone in the"hospitality" industry. Sorry for the long review. Dont discount the negative on this one.

    The Playful Goose Campground

    Spacious lots, nice staff

    Indoor pool great for kids. Bath house was a bit dated but okay. Coin operated showers, 25 cent for several minutes. Pay attention to reservation online or call….they have multiple types of sites. We accidentally got one without sewer, but they have dump tank on property so no issue. They have fire pits on the sites as well as picnic tables. Nice trails within different areas of campground.


Guide to Belgium

Camping options near Belgium, Wisconsin extend beyond the popular state parks to include a mix of lakefront sites, wooded retreats, and specialized camping areas. Most campgrounds in this region sit within the glacial terrain of southeast Wisconsin, characterized by kettles, moraines, and small lakes formed during the last ice age. Winter temperatures typically range from 10°F to 25°F, while summer days average between 70°F and 85°F with moderate humidity levels.

What to do

Beach activities at Kohler-Andrae: Access Lake Michigan's shoreline for swimming and sunbathing. "Gorgeous place to camp! everything was beautiful, this park has it all... spacious campsites, sand dunes, trails, beach, gorgeous sunsets!" writes Kendra G. about Kohler-Andrae State Park.

Hiking through diverse ecosystems: Follow the Ice Age Trail through Pike Lake. "Hiking trails are great, especially the ones through the dunes. Definitely worth the stay!" notes Elliot Q. The trail system includes sections through prairie, marsh, and forest terrain.

Fishing in stocked lakes: Cast a line at Long Lake for bluegill, crappie, and bass. "We truly enjoy camping at Kohler Andrae State Park. The facilities are well kept and there is a good variety of things to do at the park from the beach to the boardwalk," says Sara S.

Astronomical observation: Visit the interpretive astronomy trail at Pike Lake Campground and climb the observation tower. "Be sure to check out the interpretive astronomy trail and take the walk up Powder Hill to the tower!" recommends Susan S.

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the secluded nature of sites at Harrington Beach State Park Campground. "Most of the sites are pretty secluded so if you enjoy your privacy I will love this place. Everything was clean and updated including the bathrooms," reports J K.

Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower buildings receive positive reviews at most state park properties. "Nicely situated in Kettle," says Chris A. about Long Lake Campground, while another camper notes "Very nice nature center. Laundry facilities available."

Easy accessibility: Multiple campgrounds offer convenient access from urban areas. "Close to most folks for a get away. Clean and quiet. Nice fishing and swimming. Great trails," writes GA J. about Long Lake Campground, noting it works well as a local weekend destination.

Historical features: Several parks contain points of interest related to the region's glacial and cultural history. "Make sure to venture into Sheybogan and check out the lighthouse," suggests Kathie M. when visiting Kohler-Andrae State Park.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Book well in advance for summer weekends at all state parks. "If you plan to camp for a weekend, you must make a reservation way in advance," warns Shanon P. about camping at Kohler-Andrae.

Tree cover variations: Some campgrounds have less shade than others. "This is a nice little campground but they had to cut down most of the trees due to the emerald ash borrer. When the sun is out it gets HOT," cautions Geoffrey B. about Harrington Beach State Park.

Water quality concerns: Be aware of potential water issues at certain locations. "The water smelled like rotten eggs. After getting home and taking two of the children to the doctor for an illness that was caught while in the campground, we found that the smell from the hot water in the showers was actually from bacteria in the water," reports Jen A. about Lake Lenwood Beach and Campground.

Lake conditions: Water levels can impact beach access. "The lake is rather shallow so best for swimming in early summer or warm fall days," notes Chris A. about Mauthe Lake Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Multi-use trails for activities: Look for paved paths suitable for various ages. "The paved roads in the campground are nice for bike and rollerblading. We loved exploring the paths to the lake from our site," shares Mel C. about camping in Kettle Moraine.

Kid-friendly amenities: Some campgrounds offer specific facilities for children. "There is a large open area and play area for kids to run around walkable from the camping, lots of little paths to explore!" says Kendra G. about Kohler-Andrae State Park.

Site selection for families: Choose sites based on proximity to bathrooms and activities. "We were at site 231, which was huge and very nice. We had some friends at other sites that weren't as nice. There is a YouTube video posted of all the sites," advises Jenny L. about Harrington Beach.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many campgrounds offer chances to spot local fauna. "Lots of frogs and turtles to be found," notes Amanda G., making these parks excellent for nature education with children.

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions and access: Large rigs require careful site selection. "Each of the 32 sites is unique in their own way. Some are large and flat perfect for a class A (#2 #4, #29 #31 is okay, but smaller)," advises Sugar Maple S. about Pike Lake Campground.

Dump station availability: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups. "Sites are open. We were in the non-electric 200's, not as many RV's in this area," notes Shanon P. about Kohler-Andrae State Park.

Turn radius considerations: Some campground roads have tight corners. "There is a TIGHT turn in the campground loop near site #17 to be aware of with longer trailers," warns a camper about Pike Lake Campground.

Hookup limitations: Electric service varies between campgrounds. "Generally, the inner ring is electric (except #23) and the outer ring is non-electric," reports Sugar Maple S. about amenities at Pike Lake.
