"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."
"Another spacious Wisconsin State Park site. #2 is level and listed as full shade but we had enough sun to recharge our Jackery everyday. It helps that it was blue skies each day!"
"We were in route to visiting Green Bay Wisconsin and found this campground on Lake Michigan."
"About 20 minutes from Sheboygan, WI and 2 hours from Chicago, IL, Kohler-Andrae State Park Campground, is a few minutes drive or walk from Lake Michigan."
$18 - $28 / night
"Mauthe Lake Campground is located in the Northern Kettle Moraine Forest in East/Centreal Wisconsin."
"Mauthor Lake is a beautiful state park in Wisconsin. Good for biking, hiking, swimming and fishing. Sites are fairly wooded and private. Most of them seemed to be a decent size."
"We loved just walking around the paths to and from the lake to our site."
"About an hour or so away from Milwaukee. Great hiking!"
"On lake Winnebago w boat landing, can canoe or kayak shoreline if not too windy, hiking trails, kids play area, close to town. No entrance fee."
"Very spacious campsites close to or on the water. There is a marina if you have a boat, and the fishing is supposedly excellent. Expensive playground areas with picnic, grills, and fire pits."
"Plenty to do around this one as well. They have an 18 hole disc golf course and a nine hole soccer ball course. Brand new play ground added."
"If your looking to quietly sit around the fire the marsh is great! Not much for kid entertainment except a playground and fishing. The restaurant on site has great food though!!!"
"The race track is very close by and the noise from the cars can be pretty loud but not a deal breaker. We would probably go back."
$20 - $30 / night
"A little better than the average Wisconsin state campground."
"The lake is rather shallow so best for swimming in early summer or warm fall days. Nicely situated in Kettle"
"Grassy sites surrounded by trees (plenty for hammocks too). Short walk to pit toilets and drinking water."
TravelerWe stayed 6 nights in our 36 fr motor home with tow. Even though we were on a hill the campsight was level. We had plenty of room for rv and tow. The main campground ( and amenities) were down the hill a bit. We liked being on the hill away from the pool ect. Quite except for a little hiway noise(about like you’d expect) good water pressure and power worked great.
GuideThis is a nice campground. A little better than the average Wisconsin state campground.
Pros:
- Clean
- Flush toilets (did not use showers)
- Very nice, sandy and swimmable beach (not true for some campgrounds that I've visited!)
Perk:
- If you call and place and order, a local baker will deliver fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls to your campsite. You can pay via mobile payment services. Just look for the signs on the road as you drive in. The only problem is now camping without waking up to fresh cinnamon rolls will be such a let down! :)
Cons:
- The campsites in the 900s didn't have a lot privacy.
- Walking from the 900s to the beach was a bit of a trek.
TravelerWe have really enjoyed our stay here with our two dogs! It’s extremely clean, kid and pet friendly, with lots of amenities. Staff is incredibly friendly! The only downside is that if you want visitors, there is a $5/visitor fee. Other than that, we would absolutely come back here again!
GuideNice, clean & family-type park! Hiking, observation deck, playground & volleyball!
ScoutGreat 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. They have pit toilets open year round whatever the case
GuideGreat little campground in town along the lake with water access.
Had some updates this spring to some of the site’s.
The app shows it on the other side of the Hwy but it is in town and along the lake.
Map took us right to it.
GuideThe park is very pretty. Walking along the trails, you can see where it gets its name! Lots of cool ledges and rock outcrops. We saw a moderate amount of birds and heard a bunch of critters (owls, a fox (?!)) one night.
We camped at non-electric site J. It was nice and big. We originally were to be at site G but it was way too small to fit our cars, tents, etc.
Pros:
- Quiet and decently spaced sites.
- Clean vault toilets. Did not use the shower house/other facilities.
- The firepits are flush with the ground and have cooking grates.
- Easy access to trails.
Cons:
- I'm not a trailer camper, but if I were I would not appreciate the vibes of the electric sites. The sites are very close together and walking through it felt like going through a festival or circus more than a campground.
- The firewood was a bit pricey compared to other parks.
LegendGeneral: There is both a north and a south part to this campground with a total of 178 sites. The sites in the south part are all on a grassy field and there is a small man-made lake with an inflatable play area. The sites in the north part are a mix of full hook-up and tent sites. There are also small cabins (only one of which has a bathroom) and three “condos”. These all had air-conditioners, but I did not see the inside of them. The north unit features a pond, which I was disappointed to discover was algae-filled and completely green.
Site Quality: Some are pull-through and some back-in. Some sites have electric and water hookups, some have picnic tables, and some have fire rings (but not all sites have all of these amenities). Only a handful have concrete pads; the rest are all on grass.
Our impression of Sleepy Hollow was influenced in part by the fact that it poured rain for much of our overnight stay. The roads were all dirt and with the rain, became very muddy along with the campsites as well. When leaving the next day, we had some challenges backing out of our site with the amount of mud. There is no clear delineation between the sites other than where the electric and water hookups are placed.
Bathhouse: Was very clean (in both the north and south units of the campground). Showers are available for a fee (five minutes for$1.00) but we did not use them so cannot comment on how well they worked.
Activities/Amenities: In the south unit, there is a small manmade lake with an inflatable play structure and plenty of life jackets. The color is a beautiful Caribbean blue, but it did not look natural, and I was not sure of the source of the color. We were there on a weekday in September, and no one was using the lake. There is a small bar and grill (in the north section) and a concession (south unit) on-site, but both were closed when we were there. Firewood was available (15 pieces for $10); we asked and were granted permission to use the golf cart to bring the wood to our site. Other than the lake, there really is nothing offered for recreation.
We chose this campground for its location; it is very close to Highway 41 in Oshkosh (you will hear road noise) and we were meeting family there. We checked in online the day before and arrived at 3:30 pm. No one was in the office when we arrived but the family members we were meeting had arranged for us to camp in the site next to them (not the original one we had selected). This campground is VERY close to EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association), and I imagine it would be completely full during the annual EAA convention. For us, it was a convenient location but aside from spending time with our family, the reason we chose this campground.
