Nestled in northeastern Wisconsin's Fox River Valley, Little Chute offers tent and RV camping options within a 30-mile radius. The region features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 700-850 feet, creating natural drainage that helps keep campsites dry even after rain. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-85°F during peak camping season from June through August.

What you should know
Campground noise considerations: Location affects noise levels at campgrounds near major roadways. At Apple Creek Campground, a visitor noted they were "Quiet except for a little highway noise (about like you'd expect)." Another camper reported, "What wasn't so great was the proximity to the interstate, unfortunately, there is no changing that."
Seasonal camper presence: Many campgrounds have permanent or seasonal residents. "It's a very quiet campground and everyone followed rules for the quiet time. Another thing I noticed is the seasonal all keep their yards very well maintained. They had beautiful landscape, yards were mowed, and nice fences- porches- decor- and sheds," reports a visitor to S'Mores Campground.
Limited wilderness camping: Most options near Little Chute are developed campgrounds rather than dispersed sites. "If you're looking for a true camping/wilderness experience.....look elsewhere. Sites are close together with nothing in between. No privacy," notes a camper at Fremont RV Campground who found the atmosphere more social than secluded.
Tips for camping with families
Playground amenities: Choose campgrounds with recently updated play equipment. "They had a nice pool and splash pad for younger kids. They had plenty for the kids, playground, mini golf, basketball etc," mentions a visitor about the facilities available for children.
Entertainment options: Tilleda Falls Campground offers natural features that engage children. "Nice playground for the kids, swim beach for great summer fun, campground store/food/drinks if you're hungry or desire a cold drink to beat the heat and such amazing riverside views," reports a camper who found multiple options to keep children entertained.
Accommodation flexibility: Family-friendly sites offer multiple sleeping arrangements. S'Mores Campground provides cabin options that work well for families: "The cabin we rented was $80 a night, non refundable since it was last minute. This included two adults and up to four kids. I could see how four kids would easily fit because of the bunk beds and queen bed in our cabin."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: When camping at Apple Creek Campground with larger RVs, experienced RVers recommend hillside sites. "We stayed 6 nights in our 36 ft motor home with tow. Even though we were on a hill the campsite 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."
Hookup considerations: Devils River Campground offers electric and water hookups but not full sewer. "It offers Rv pull through sites with electric and water. I only gave it 4 stars because we prefer full hookup but they did offer pump out service for a small fee," explains a camper who found the pump-out service an acceptable alternative to full hookup.
Water supply planning: Some campsites require longer hoses to reach water connections. A camper at Broughton Marsh Park noted, "One spigot for every four sites for water so 100 foot hose is required." Planning for appropriate hose length ensures you'll have adequate water access without relocation.
