    Very secluded

    Very nice and and quite! Bathroom only has cold water but shower house has nice hot water. We are here on a Monday and it made us pay for 2 nights so that’s my biggest complaint but this is a very secluded and clean park so I’d stay here again!

    Nice location!!

    Great place to stay! Big rig friendly! Gravel pads and each site comes with a picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms in the campground were clean and I believe there were showers.

    Nice woody sites near the lake

    We stayed in the primitive area which wasn't crowded at all just after labor day.  The sites were nice and wooded with lots of privacy.  It rained most of the time we were there so we didn't get to explore much.  Tried to walk down to the lake from our site, but just got to the top of the cliffs on the lake.

    The automated pay system insisted we pay for 2 nights since they considered Thursday to be a weekend night.  This is just silly.  Thursday is NOT a weekend night.  

    We only spent one night due to the rain.

    Long Lake - Kettle Moraine SF

    Visited for the day but plan to return to camp

    We were staying at Mauthe but it was packed so we came here instead and we're glad we did. The trails, fishing pier and beach are nice. We got caught in a thunderstorm that we waited out in a little tavern in nearby Dundee, which is pretty much the cutest little town around. We plan to return next year to camp.

    Mauthe Lake - Kettle Moraine SF

    So-so

    It was hot and crowded but we had a decent campsite with plenty of shade so we were happy enough. Showers were nice. We spent most of our time fishing at Long Lake, which we liked much better. If you go, make sure to get fresh cinnamon rolls delivered to your site!

    First stay at this campground and would definitely go back

    Stayed for the first time at this campground in July and loved it. We stayed on a tent site, it was huge and had electric. I love that the campground is right on the lake and there’s quite a few amenities for people who boat. It is pet friendly and the bathrooms are quite a walk but clean and hot water is available.

    Flanagans Pearl Lake Campsites

    80% Seasonal Campsites. Nice hosts.

    This campground is nestled in a stand of tall red pine trees so shade is found everywhere. The check in process was easy and quick. The roads connecting the sites are adequately wide. Just know that all of the sites are 90 degree back ins which can be tight with longer rigs- especially if your neighbor across the road has their vehicle or toys parked right up to the paved surface. The only thing I would be critical of is the bathroom/shower house. The showers are a bit odd where one door (that locks) opens to the only 2 shower stalls for your gender in the entire building. So if you’re cool showering with a buddy or your kids that’s no bid deal. This campground is mostly all seasonal campsites and some are impeccably maintained and elaborate and some are REALLY run down. I doubt you could tow some of those campers out. We stayed here for EAA Airventure in Oshkosh and it was only 40 minutes away.

    Door County KOA Holiday

    Overall a good experience

    We rented a camper for the first time and decided to go here. We appreciated the facilities and the fact that there was help available if necessary.

    The campground is big with lots of sites. Some are in a big field that was really crowded. I’m glad we asked for a wooded site.

    The biggest downside was noise. We were there over the 4th of July. There were golf carts that circled the campgrounds blaring loud music on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July. I get celebrating the 4th but this was pretty annoying.

    But overall this was good. It helped me realize I prefer more remote camping. I’m not sure the resort feel of this KOA is for me, but that is a preference. There is a lot to like and a lot to do here.

    Satisfied

    Currently in the park for 2 weeks. Good setting, situated on Shawano Lake although not directly lake side. The beach is big with a two lane boat launch.

    Point Beach State Forest

    Beautiful beaches

    The campground is clean and organized well, with each space separated by trees/bush/woods. The drinking water is not good so be sure to pack enough. The beaches are very clean and great for walking at different points in the day. Site 28 was a bit small.

    Great location. It was very quiet, with lots of greenery. The amenities were very clean and well taken care of. The level of seclusion and privacy varied depending on the camp sites.

    High Cliff State Park

    Early spring Quick trip

    Decided to get back into camping and decided to check out this semi local State Park. Alot of great walking and hiking spots, it was a bit chilly in mid April and especially windy down by the lake. Once up by the campground wind died down and was pretty nice. Site 53 was flat, had a fire pit, and picknick table. Despite being the closest site to the main road and entrance, didn't feel like it was too busy or distracting. Campgrounds were quiet and friendly. Will definitely come back once it warms up a little bit.

    River Rambler

    Hidden Gem

    We had a wonderful time camping at the River Rambler! The location was perfect - secluded and surrounded by nature, yet close enough to nearby town for day trips. The campsite itself was spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of room for our tent/RV plus it has a fire pit and picnic table. The owner was a great host. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing camping experience.

    Hickory Oaks Campground

    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.

    Mauthe Lake - Kettle Moraine SF

    Great campground but loud and busy

    I camped at site #102. There are great views of the lake and easy access to water and bathrooms. The site that I stayed at was actually a teepee site and had a large-ish wooden platform. Parking was right in front of my site but not a drive-in site.

    I've become a spoiled baby after hiking the PCT last year, so established campgrounds are hit or miss for me, primarily because of how noisy they are. That said, the hosts were wonderful and the park is clean and very well-maintained. I ended up leaving halfway through my second day because I just didn't want to deal with the noise and traffic.

    Overall, I would definitely visit this park again! Next time, I'll aim for dates outside of peak summer camping!

    Nice private sites

    Very nice campground. Sites are decent sized for tenting or small camper. Almost all the sites are surround by trees and small brush so it gives a private feel. Took a ride over to the town of Dundee and checked out Hamburger Haus for some HUGE ice cream cones. Decent biking trail system to beach and bike trail that connects to Maithe Lake. Would give five stars if the showers and bathroom were a little nicer as they are pretty dated looking.

    State Park Feeling

    We were visiting family in Shawano, WI, and stayed here for a week. Checking was easy and we had a long spot with full hookups. Park has a playground, small lake with a beach.

    Back again

    We love this place! We were on the water in the W area, a spacious site with firewood prepaid and waiting for us when we arrived. Pit toilets are within a short walk and are among the cleanest I’ve seen anywhere. The only drawback is the showers. Coin operators is OK, but no temperature control. Fortunately, the water is hot! Staff is awesome, as always.

    High Cliff State Park

    Nice state park along Lake Winnebago. Fun hiking and climbing

    High Cliff State Park is close to Appleton and Green Bay and is situated along the Niagara Escarpment on Lake Winnebago. Camping is great however, even though there is a beach, it is not a very nice one and swimming there isn’t the best. The park is great for hiking and low elevation rock climbing.
