Best Campgrounds near Sheboygan, WI

333 Reviews

Campers heading to Sheboygan, Wisconsin can find good spots at both High Cliff State Park Campground and Harrington Beach State Park Campground. High Cliff has hiking trails and nice views, while Harrington Beach sits right on Lake Michigan with sandy beaches and well-kept sites. You can camp at either park throughout the year, though many people prefer spring and fall when it's not too hot or cold. Getting to these parks is easy on paved roads. High Cliff comes with restrooms and picnic areas that work well if you're bringing kids along. At Harrington Beach, you can fish or walk the nature trails between camping sessions. The firewood costs more at these parks than you might expect, so you might want to bring your own. It's smart to check ahead for any closures or rules that might affect your trip, especially during off-seasons.

    Harrington Beach State Park - Group Campground

    A Spacious Setting Near Lake Michigan

    The Group Campground at Harrington Beach State Park brings a completely different energy, offering an expansive, open setting that feels made for large family reunions, scout troops, family birthday party overnighters and lively gatherings that stretch long into the evening. Unlike the more intimate family sites, this area is designed for scale, with wide communal spaces, larger fire rings and plenty of room for picnic tables, shared meals and kid-filled games of tag and flag football. We passed through and couldn’t help but smile watching a group roast marshmallows together while another set of kids played flashlight hide-and-seek across the open field. While it is less private and more bustling, this locale creates a joyful sense of togetherness that feels perfect for celebrations and group bonding. While the restroom and shower facilities were mediocre (at best), they were functional and clean. But the real star here is the close proximity to Lake Michigan. I’d recommend this Group Campground for larger parties who want space to spread out, EZ beach access and the freedom to make memories together in a beautiful lakeside setting.

    Harrington Beach State Park Campground

    Lake Michigan Sunsets & Firefly Evenings

    There is something deeply calming about waking up just steps from Lake Michigan at the Harrington Beach State Park Family Campground, where our little crew found the perfect balance of nature and comfort in a setting that feels both scenic and safe. The campground is well-organized with clearly defined family-sized sites, clean restrooms and EZ access to walking trails and the beach, making it especially friendly for parents juggling gear and excited boys. One of our favorite moments was sitting around the campfire as we tried to stay warm from an early first wave of the winter to come while the sun melted into the lake in soft pink streaks. We loved that everything felt thoughtfully laid out without feeling crowded or chaotic. I would absolutely recommend this campground for families looking for a peaceful getaway with just enough adventure, thanks to its natural beauty, clean facilities, lakefront access and gentle, welcoming atmosphere.

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Dunes, Driftwood & Barefoot Bliss

    There is something wonderfully grounding about settling into the Family Campground at Kohler-Andrae State Park, where our little crew felt instantly wrapped in the gentle rhythm of Lake Michigan and the whispering grasses of the sandy dunes that our boys loved to explore. The campground is very well laid out with 137 clearly defined family-sized sites (52 of which have electrical hookups), exceptionally clean restrooms and perfectly manicured pathways leading to the boardwalk and shoreline, making every moment of exploration feeling manageable and peaceful. One of our favorite moments was walking down the wooden boardwalk as the boys raced ahead to spot driftwood treasures and tiny shore birds along the beach. Everything here feels calm, safe and naturally beautiful without being overly rugged. And while you can bring everything you will need to enjoy camping here, in case you forget anything, nearby Sheboygan has you covered for just about any supply you could think of (except for firewood, which you can buy either at the park office or from one of the campground hosts). I would absolutely recommend this campground for families seeking a soothing lakeside escape with a perfect mix of nature, comfort, and gentle adventure.

    Menomonee Park by Waukesha County Parks

    Great county park

    This is a nice getaway for camping, picnics, hiking, fishing and in the summer swimming! They only offer swimming with lifeguards in the summer months. They have great open spaces for group camping.

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Very nearly the perfect state park.

    This park is pretty much the perfect blend of forest, marsh, beach, dunes, and hills. It's got breathtaking views year round. Not all sites are created equal- there's functionally three different types of campsite. The southernmost are wooded and fairly private. There's a longer walk to the showers. Feels more primitive, although the roads are well maintained and bathrooms clean. The campsites in the middle of the park have few trees and little privacy. These are more like crash pads if you want to spend the day swimming, hiking, or fishing. The north end of the park offers denser woods and more established sites. These are close to the water and the park exit. Winter camping is peaceful and quiet. Spring is exciting, but can be wet. Summer is cool near the lake and usually busier. Fall is crisp and colorful.

    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.

Guide to Sheboygan

Kohler-Andrae State Park provides camping spots near Sheboygan, Wisconsin right along Lake Michigan's shoreline. The park's natural sand dunes and marsh areas create varied ecosystems for campers to explore. Winter temperatures average between 10-30°F, while summer temperatures typically range from 60-80°F with moderate humidity from the lake.

What to do

Beach activities on Lake Michigan: At Kohler-Andrae State Park, visitors can enjoy the sandy beaches along the lakeshore. "Gorgeous place to camp! everything was beautiful, this park has it all... spacious campsites, sand dunes, trails, beach, gorgeous sunsets!" notes Kendra G.

Explore historical sites: Take a short drive to nearby Sheboygan landmarks. "Make sure to venture into Sheybogan and check out the lighthouse," suggests Kathie M. after camping at Kohler-Andrae.

Hike the boardwalk trails: The dune boardwalk trail at Kohler-Andrae offers unique views of the lake. "Hiking is nice, there is a dune boardwalk trail that is good that runs parallel to Lake Michigan shoreline," explains Shanon P.

Disc golf and soccer ball course: The Broughton Sheboygan Marsh Park Campground offers recreational options beyond hiking. "They have an 18 hole disc golf course and a nine hole soccer ball course. Brand new play ground added," shares Jill G.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Long Lake Campground offers secluded camping spots. "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," says Brandon L.

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the well-maintained bathrooms at many campgrounds. "The bathhouse very nice. Very nice nature center. Laundry facilities available," notes Kathie M. about Kohler-Andrae State Park.

Lake views and sunsets: The waterfront locations provide scenic vistas. "Sunrises so, so beautiful. This campground has everything! Trails, dunes, marshes, forests, and Lake Michigan," shares Kathie M.

Well-marked trail systems: Mauthe Lake Campground in Kettle Moraine connects to extensive trails. "There is a crushed gravel trail running from here to Long Lake that is great for running/walking/biking," explains Sarah L.

What you should know

Seasonal water availability: Water systems may not operate year-round. At High Cliff State Park Campground, "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," warns Brandl B.

Beach conditions can change: Water levels affect beach access at some parks. At Harrington Beach, "the beach no longer exists as the lake has washed it away. Pet beach is just really slippery rock which is very dangerous," reports Phillip B.

Site-specific amenities: Research your specific site before booking. At Long Lake Campground, "Some sites completely adjoining or with very little separating them. This loop would be good for an option if the group sites are unavailable," advises Darren L.

Tree coverage varies: At some campgrounds, disease has affected shade. "They had to cut down most of the trees due to the emerald ash borrer. when the sun is out it gets HOT," warns Geoffrey B. about Harrington Beach.

Tips for camping with families

Beach proximity: Choose sites close to swimming areas for easier access with children. At Harrington Beach State Park Campground, "The lake was a short bike ride from our site, and we enjoyed walking the beach and attached trails," shares Amanda G.

Playground access: Several campgrounds have play areas 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!" notes Kendra G. about Kohler-Andrae.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Kids enjoy spotting local animals. "Plenty of frogs and turtles to be found," mentions Amanda G. about the pond at Harrington Beach.

Ice cream trips: Plan a special treat during your stay. "If you like ice cream, head to Dundee and visit the Hamburger Haus," suggests Sarah L. who camped at Mauthe Lake.

Tips from RVers

Pull-through site availability: Reserve early for easier access sites. "Site 112 is nice pull through," notes Nancy S. about High Cliff State Park.

Water hookup logistics: Be prepared with proper equipment. At Broughton Marsh Park, "One spigot for every four sites for water so 100 foot hose is required," advises Jill G.

Electric service types: Check what hookups are available before arrival. Many campgrounds near Sheboygan offer 30-amp service, but 50-amp may be limited.

Site selection for larger rigs: Research specific site dimensions. At Long Lake Campground, "We walked some of the other loops and the 700's loop being a bit more wooded with some nice sites being my favorites," recommends Darren L. for finding suitable spots.
