RV campgrounds near Nelsonville, Wisconsin include Hartman Creek State Park Campground in Waupaca, which operates from April to November with both electric and water hookups. Sites accommodate larger rigs with big-rig friendly spaces and 50-amp electrical service. "It's a good place to take the kids but I wouldn't recommend staying here if you really want to camp or need peace and quiet," noted one visitor about the popular camping options in the area. Wild West Campground & Corral in Amherst operates from April 15 to October 15, providing electric, water, and sewer hookups along with 30-amp service for RVs, while Pearl Lake RV Campground in Redgranite offers similar amenities plus 50-amp connections for larger motorhomes.
Full hookup availability varies significantly throughout the region, with Fremont RV Campground offering sewer connections and water hookups but limited 30-amp service. Many parks require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends and fall color season. A camper reviewing Pearl Lake noted, "This campground is nestled in a stand of tall red pine trees so shade is found everywhere," though they cautioned about tight 90-degree back-in sites that can be challenging for longer rigs. Dump stations are available at most developed campgrounds, including Lake of the Woods in Wautoma and Omro RV Park, though the latter lacks water hookups at individual sites. Pet policies differ between facilities - most allow pets with proper supervision, but Spencer Lake Christian Center prohibits alcohol while welcoming pets.

TravelerI biked into the park and was assisted by the campground host. The swimming area was closed for the season but there was much to see and explore. There was no way to pay in person at the campground. The cost was $27 per night but there was a hefty $10 processing fee. A bit high.
TravelerMunicipal RV park. Not much on amenities but very clean bathrooms and showers. Great price. Good for those passing thru.
ScoutRelaxation at its finest. Nice small size campground. Clean spots, play equipment, showers. Beach, fishing, grills, bathroom a short walk away.
ScoutWe have been annuals here for now our 12th year and it’s been a horrible experience ever since Thousand Trails bought it 4 years ago! Today is July 5, 2026 and the pool is closed again, it’s only been opened for 6 days this year! The hours are 11 to 5 pm and closed from 1:00 to 1:30, 2:30 to 3:00 when it is open! This is only the beginning of the horrible campground! If we didn’t have a Park-Model with a large patio and pavers that are grouted we would leave now and never come back!
ScoutI have been A South side CAMPGROUND Host for 6 years now. My review may be a BIT biased for that reason, but I'll give my take. We do everything we can to make this campsite a home away from home for all our visitors. We pride ourselves on keeping everything natural. We pick up trash and garbage anywhere we find it. We try to greet as many guests we see. We are always trying to make our pit toiĺetsas presentable as we can considering what they are. We have someone come in and do what they call deep clean every toilerepaint jobst at least once a week. Some of them are due for a painting which should happen in the next year we are hoping. We are in the process of reworking picnic tables throughout the park now. We ask campers to please let us know if they see one needing repairs. Please come give us a try. My wife and I are host's on the South Park admin sight. Stop and say hello.
GuideNorth Wood County Park is a hidden gem. Many of the sites have a view of water and several even have water access right from your site. There are several loops that range from paved with electric to rustic and non-electric. We stayed at site 59 which stretched down to a paved trail and then one of the lakes. We were close to the suspension bridge, which is a fun attraction. There is also a low roadway that goes over the water that is absolutely beautiful and sometimes floods. There are several dams and it makes for a great kayak or fishing spot. Most of the campground is paved, which is awesome if you have an ebike or e scooter. They sell wood at a decent price ($7), but nothing else. You also have to book your site online with a $10 fee for using the online booking. It does make arrival super easy, you just pull in and set up camp. Overall I would highly recommend spending a few nights here.
GuideVery quiet layed back place, lots to explore and see.
GuideWe wanted to visit family in the area at the last minute, and pulled up to see if they had any spot available. They gave us a list of available options, we drove through, and picked a site with the perfect spot to watch the sun set. Amenities are clean, theres a pool table and games in the office area.
GuideCloser to a homeless encampment. Very run down. Facilities are closed or in ruins.

Swimming opportunities: Hartman Creek State Park Campground maintains a clean swimming area on a small lake. "The lake was a smaller lake, but nice for swimming. They do a great job of keeping the beach and swimming area clean," notes one visitor. Water activities are family-friendly with rental options available.
Fishing spots: Early morning fishing yields good results at several lakes. "Allen Lake has a fishing pier that the kids loved fishing from. Good catches early in the morning!" shares a camper at Hartman Creek State Park. Most lakes in the area are no-wake, making them peaceful for anglers.
Biking trails: The region offers both paved paths and off-road options for cyclists of all levels. One visitor to Lake of the Woods Campground mentioned, "The group campsite is phenomenal... tons of space for each family and a great community area for your group." Many campgrounds connect to wider trail networks suitable for family rides.
Quiet evenings: Many campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, particularly at certain campgrounds. "We loved the quietness at night. Not entirely sure, but I believe there is a quite policy after 10pm. Gorgeous to look up and see the amazing stars at night," shares a Hartman Creek visitor.
Organized activities: Wild West Campground & Corral offers unique experiences not found at other sites. "Being able to watch the horses was very calming. We would recomend this place to others and we would go back," writes a camper. Several parks schedule weekend events during peak season.
Shade coverage: Many sites feature tall pines providing natural cooling. A visitor to Pearl Lake RV Campground noted, "This campground is nestled in a stand of tall red pine trees so shade is found everywhere." This natural canopy helps moderate temperatures during summer camping trips.
Campsite privacy varies: Site isolation differs significantly between campgrounds. "Sites are close together with nothing in between. No privacy," warns one camper about certain locations. Research specific site numbers when making reservations.
Bathroom facilities: Quality and accessibility of facilities varies widely. At Omro RV Park, "Showers and toilets. The sites are gravel, and that's about it," explains a visitor. Some parks offer full shower houses while others provide basic facilities.
Sandy soil conditions: The region features sandy soil which affects tent camping. "The only thing I didn't like was the sandy soil, but otherwise our site was awesome," mentions a Hartman Creek visitor. Bring extra stakes or weights for tents during windy conditions.

Site access considerations: RV sites near Nelsonville, Wisconsin often present specific challenges. "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," cautions a Pearl Lake visitor.
Hookup variations: Electric service ranges from basic to comprehensive across the region. At Ox Creek Campground, you'll find "water views for shorter rigs" with standard 30-amp service. Check specific amperage requirements before booking as not all parks accommodate larger rigs.
