    Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit offers specialized equestrian camping through the New Prospect Horseriders Campground near Campbellsport, Wisconsin. This campground has earned a perfect 5-star rating from visitors and operates seasonally from the first weekend in May through the last weekend in October. The sites accommodate both tents and RVs with drive-in access available directly to campsites. While there are no dedicated horse corrals on site, the camping area provides necessary amenities including drinking water, toilets, showers, and trash disposal. The campground maintains clean facilities despite heavy use during peak riding season.

    The New Prospect area connects directly to the extensive trail system within Kettle Moraine State Forest, providing riders with varied terrain and scenic woodland routes. Trails wind through the northern unit's distinctive glacial features, offering riding experiences suitable for different skill levels. Horse owners must bring their own containment systems as the campground does not provide corrals or stalls. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for weekend camping during summer months when equestrian sites fill quickly. The campground enforces proper manure management practices to maintain trail quality. Other nearby campgrounds like High Cliff State Park and Point Beach State Forest offer general camping but lack specific horse facilities, making the New Prospect area the primary option for equestrians visiting the Forest Junction region.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Staying at the Point Beach State Forest campground. Being late in the season and not a weekend, we stayed in site A. This is the only lettered site, which is slightly confusing, but a very nice spot along the beach. From this site you have to walk up and down the large dune between the site and the beach. The dune is about 20 ft tall and does require some physical effort to get over. The site was pretty level and has decent foliage between it and the adjacent sites. There are lots of walking trails in the area and plenty of beautiful sandy beach to walk along. There is only a single dump station, and the queue was quite long on Sunday when we arrived. Check-in was at 3 PM and they enforced that strictly, at least for us. All sites appeared to be 30 amp service. This site is not good for Starlink. Unless you have a long enough cable to get it up on dune. The water and showers were shut off as of Oct 15th according to the signs. This is a very nice state forest campground we would recommend! There appear to be a few sites that stay open year round, but most close on 10/28. AT&T signal was typically 1-bar or no-signal.

      Bay Shore Park

      Great campground !

      Great campground! Friendly staff and meticulously clean restrooms! Free showers and only $2.00 for laundry. Some of the sites are seemingly conjoined for lack of privacy in between however, most are level and all have fire pits as well as picnic tables. Easy lake access and playgrounds for the kiddos. Had to try out the bouncy house ourselves and had a blast! All in all, a wonderful stay.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Nice Campgrounds with a Beach and Hiking Trails

      Overall this is a very nice campground. Not huge compared to other state parks, but not super small or quiet. Very family friendly. There is a very nice beach, as well as a few hiking trails on the property as well. The hiking trails are dog friendly, but the beach is not- you have to take your dog to the dog-friendly section of the beach, they aren’t allowed on the standard beach. Not too many bugs and no problematic wildlife.

      T-Mobile had one to two bars of LTE (not 5G signal) depending on where you were. Good enough to send a text or make a (slow) Google search.

      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Unwelcoming Camp Hosts

      My family has been camping at Mauthe Lake for decades, and every year we have to deal with camp hosts and rangers constantly monitoring us. We follow the rules and do not cause disruptions, and yet they constantly chew us out for very minor things. It makes me feel as if we’re not welcome on these grounds.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Beautiful Park

      The campsite and park are excellent. The staff we encountered were helpful and kind. The beach, hiking trails and lighthouse are outstanding. I can't find anything to say negative. A wonderful place and experience.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Great Views! So pet friendly!

      Point Beach State Forest sits on the Eastern side of Wisconsin along the 5 miles of shores on lake Michigan.

      This is a wonderful Park. It can be very busy especially during peak times, so be prepared for crowds! The park offers plenty to do from trails to swimming, and obviously camping.

      The park offers two beautiful beaches. One of them being for pets, both of them right on Lake Michigan.

      This park has excellent and typically clean shower and bathroom buildings. It offers 127 campsites with 70 of them offering electricity. All of these campgrounds are in walking distance from Lake Michigan but none offering a view of the lake. This park also offers indoor group and outdoor group camp sites! The park also offers two rustic sites. One being for the Ice Age National Scenic trail and one being a kayak campsite which is only accessible from Lake Michigan. Both of these sites are only about a half a mile south of the forest office! The forest office building is beautiful with plenty on display in the clean restrooms. Firewood is also available at the forest office!

      There are plenty of amenities near the park as it sits right outside the city of Two Rivers and also not too far from the city of Manitowoc. Being close to the city, there's a grocery store not too far from the park as well as gas stations and shops near the downtown.

      Let it be known you do not have to escape the park on weekends for a good meal if you're not in the mood for cooking, this park offers fish fry on Fridays and Saturdays and the food is delicious. It also offers concession stands with snacks and ice cream during the rest of the week.

      Be aware of ticks in this park, especially deer ticks. I have personally had a very bad experience during the early fall. I won't go into detail as it was quite a disgusting experience! Despite that, this is a wonderful Park and think it should be on everyone's list for places to camp

    Guide to Forest Junction

    Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit provides specialized equestrian camping near Forest Junction, Wisconsin at the New Prospect Horseriders Campground. This facility operates from the first weekend in May through the last weekend in October with trails winding through glacial terrain. The Northern Unit spans over 30,000 acres across Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, and Washington counties, with elevation changes created by retreating glaciers during the last ice age.

    What to do

    Hiking at High Cliff State Park: Trails range from easy to moderate difficulty with access to the Niagara Escarpment. "Great place to explore with the fam. Hike the trails to see pieces of Wisconsin history throughout. Some trails on the Ridgeline offer vista views and moderate inclines that add to the adventure," notes Sam F. about High Cliff State Park Campground.

    Swimming at Mauthe Lake: The lake offers a designated swimming beach with no motorized boats for quieter water recreation. "Nice beach/swimming area, bike path, and playground for the kids. Also the most beautiful sunset over the lake and pines in July," reports Kaylyn C. about Mauthe Lake Campground.

    Fishing opportunities: Several lakes in the region provide good fishing options within a 30-minute drive of Forest Junction. "Big campsites. Not too close to neighbors, good fishing!" mentions Haley K. about Mauthe Lake, while Bay Shore Park offers fishing access along Green Bay.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the region maintain well-kept washrooms and shower facilities despite heavy use. "The campground facilities are clean, 30 amp at the electrical site worked perfectly. Other campers amazingly friendly," writes Elizabeth S. about Mauthe Lake.

    Trail connectivity: The network of trails connecting camping areas provides diverse terrain for hiking, biking and horseback riding. "We've been camping here for years and love the beautiful lake for swimming and watersports. No motor boats so nice and quiet. Also great trail running opportunities on the Ice Age," says Sarah L. about Point Beach State Forest.

    Spacious campsites: Many campsites offer good separation between neighbors with natural screening. "Mauthe Lake-Kettle Moraine is a joy for campers. Located right on Mauthe Lake the campsites are separated by lush trees and bushes. The sites are well separated for privacy," describes Charles M.

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: Facilities at most campgrounds have limited services in early spring. "Great spot, lots of trails, and the bathrooms were clean. Only gripe is the uncertain schedule they have for turning on water for the season. First week or two of may is a safe bet, but no promises," cautions Brandl B. about Bay Shore Park.

    Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially for weekend stays during summer. "I almost hate to give this place 5 stars because I don't want everyone else to find out about it… it's a wonderful campground. The host is so nice, everyone is quiet and kind," notes Sarah N. about Sundance Farm Campground.

    Wildlife awareness: Campers should properly store food and manage trash. "Decent sized park. Nice hiking trails. Raccoons can be a pest and beg for food!" warns Denise L. about High Cliff State Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several campgrounds offer play areas for children to burn energy between outdoor activities. "This is a great spot for kids..
