"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!"

TravelerVery friendly and very clean. 1 swimming pond 2 fishing ponds volleyball courts and 2 off leash dog areas. Showers are free and they have a huge kid play area along with a seasonal swimming pool and hot tub.
LegendGreat 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.
GuideOverall 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.
ScoutLots of things to do and fun for both adults and kids. Well kept, clean facilities and a great park!
ScoutMy 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.
ScoutVer nice campground. Was very clean and quiet and good shade and trees in the rustic camp area
ScoutBeach was beautiful! Our site was nice and big.
ScoutNice host, low key, good size lots, dog friendly
ScoutThis is not a campground, it is an extended stay facility. No sewer hookups, on upper level of camping, no dump station. Air smells like the feedlot just east of the highway.
No tree limbs cleared for tall rigs, and dead limbs sticking out near roadside remain uncleared, to hit side of your rig. Lower campground is scary to drive through! Kids roaming and screaming, broke down cars......
Beware! Not a pleasant place to get in/out or exist.
