    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.

      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Mauthe-Lake Northern Kettle Morraine

      I live very close to this park and camp here often. It is a nice family type campground with a nice swimming beach and playground for children. There is only 1 bath house here and MANY pit toilets that are surprisingly clean and not real stinky. It is part of the Northern Unit of the Kettle Moraine and there are great hiking and biking trails as well as horse trails with a horse camp nearby. Every once in a while you can spot an eagle soaring around dinner time. There are sites very near the lake, but I prefer the ones up the hill. Mosquitos are present in the early summer and the breezes topside keep them at bay.

      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Great Camping in the Middle of Kettle Moraine Forest

      Mauthe Lake Campground is located in the Northern Kettle Moraine Forest in East/Centreal Wisconsin. This is one of my frequent visited campgrounds in the state given all the recreational trails for hiking and bicycling. The campground is clean and spread out. This campground offers some of the cleanest showers I have encountered on my camping trips. The Lake to Lake bike trail connects Long Lake Campground and Mauthe Lake Campground which is abut an 8 mile trip one way. This trail is a mix of paved, dirt, and gravel and travels through different landscape . There is a short hiking trail around Mauthe Lake that you should be able to complete in an hour at a average pace. The Ice Age Trail also runs through the park as part of its 1200 plus miles through the state. Ice cream and restaurants are close by, just follow the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive, which takes you on a scenic rout through the North Kettle and Southern Kettle Moraine Forest. Be prepared for LOUD FROGS when attempting to sleep, if you can sleep through this noise the campground won't let you down.

      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Stopover

      Off Rt 45 in Wisconsin, outside Campbellsport the Kettle Moraine North Campsite was not my favorite of our trip northward.

      Certain aspects

      1. privacy
      2. no frills
      3. quiet

      Competed with

      1. standing water
      2. landscaping
      3. accessibility

      You had definite brush cover to a fault. It felt like they "hacked out" each site from the brush, not much planning or foresite.

      This was primitive no frills camping with standing water between sites( mosquitoes) and limited access to some trails ( no dogs). The pit toilets were clean and there is no running water except at the beach in the changing area restroom.

      A nice visitors center and informative staff.

      High Cliff State Park Campground

      Spacious and close to trails

      This was my first time camping in a Wisconsin state park and I thought it was great! Our site backed up to a trail along the cliff which was awesome for a family that loves to hike. I felt for a state park most of the sites were spacious, ours was particularly because we had no site behind us. Shower house was clean. Will be back!

      High Cliff State Park Campground

      Close to town but surrounded by nature.

      This is a state run campground that provides plenty of hiking, biking and horse riding trails. There is also access to Lake Winnebago for boating and swimming. The camp sites are all either partially or fully shaded with a good amount of privacy for each site. Plenty or pit toilets are provided and there are also plumbed toilets and showers available on the campground.

      This campground is perfect for a weekend getaway or for those families just starting out. It is close enough to town to be able to run in and get forgotten items. There are plenty of playground equipment for kids to run and climb on. If you are looking for a rustic get away this may not be exactly what you are looking for but it is a great spot to get out of the city for a day or two.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Little Gem!

      This campground is situated across from Lake Michigan, with access to trails, sand-ridged beaches and a lighthouse (the lighthouse cannot be toured, but can be admired from the outside).  There is a nice lodge and camp store right on the lake, complete with a quaint restaurant where we got breakfast on the weekend as well as ice cream.

      We stayed on site 13.  Not super secluded from neighboring sites, but it had nice tree cover.  A three minute walk to the beach.  The shower house and flush toilets were a bit of a hike from our campsite, but pit toilets were nearby.

      We camped in late-May and there were no mosquitos and we didn't see any ticks (not to say there weren't any).  The area has some interesting natural features, including some wetland-prone areas with frogs, salamanders, etc.

      All-in-all everyone in our party agreed that we would stay here again.  Happy camping!

      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

      High Cliff State Park Campground

      So much to do for everyone

      No matter what your skill level you can find a trail here from easy to challenging to hike or bike.  There is a beach, a marina, Lake Winnebago, horse trails, hiking, biking and pet beach and picnic area.  The park is very clean and pretty.  There is a playground, several vault toilet areas spread around and a shower house.   Some sites have electric and there is a dump station and water fill up.   

      Both AT &T and Verizon provided good service and the ability to stream.  Spaces are large and have many  trees for shade and privacy.

    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..
