"This is a state run campground that provides plenty of hiking, biking and horse riding trails. There is also access to Lake Winnebago for boating and swimming."
"We booked sites 22 and 23 which are a double site. Pretty good space, we were able to fit 4 tents and a sleeping hammock. There is overflow parking directly across from the site."
"Sites were pretty level and just enough room for some privacy. Would certainly come back for the hospitality."
$30 - $70 / night
"Most with electric 30/50 amp and a beautiful lake with many family friendly things to do. The people are friendly and they have clean showers and bathrooms along with laundry."
"So much to do between the pools and entertainment provided. Awesome restaurant/bar and camp store!! Nice big sites, wooded or in the field. Hands down my all time favorite campground."
"The field sites are good for groups and going with friends, if you are looking for a quiet low key experience then go to a wooded site. "
$41 / night
"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."
"We camped here because it was close to an event we needed to attend. We enjoyed our stay here and felt very welcome. "
$42 - $217 / night
"Family oriented and right next to a state park for hiking, biking & running. Spacious sites with fire ring & table. Great place to explore the peninsula from."
"We love the complete hook ups, no worries about electric, water or sewer. It is alittle more pricy but we will pay more for the amenities. Close to town for whatever you might want to do or explore."
$35 - $40 / night
"Very small but well kept. 16 parking spots with lawn, fire pit and a few trees. There is a small motel on site also. Located near very small village couple taverns and a mini mart."
"Personal with private bathrooms with soft water and a heater if you need it. Staying there I notice the owners checking bathrooms a few times a day. They take pride in there property. "
"This campground is situated across from Lake Michigan, with access to trails, sand-ridged beaches and a lighthouse (the lighthouse cannot be toured, but can be admired from the outside). "
"You get a choice of electric or non electric. We paid $25 for a non-electric site (weekends are higher rate)."
"Campsites are nicely spaced with some large trees for shade. Generous portions of firewood are available."
"If you want to camp without being far from amenities, you can't do much better than Badger Park. I loved coming here as a kid just for the playground which is still the best in the area."
"Nice campground with a nice bar and grill near by. Nice beach for swimming and kayaking. Was very busy when we stayed here, but we had a good time."
LegendAll the other campgrounds in OshKosh are near the airport, which makes sense since the biggest event each year is the EVAA air show. None of them have trees.
Hickory Oaks has it's own airfield and lots and lots of trees. They even have a mini-lake (4 acres).
There are all types of RV sites, tenting/primitive sites and group sites, some small cabins as well. We camped in site 60 because we arrived after dark, and Cindy suggested that our first choice, #67 might be too hard to find at night. There is only one street light, and it's by site #1 and the swim area.
The map doesn't really convey what an oasis of trees this place is. To the West is the runway and beyond that, a large grassy hill (it's actually landfill). To the east in a rural road running along the lake. To the north, in the distance is a prison. That all sounds worse than it is, it's a lovely campground.
There are a few things for sale in the office, but you're so close to town you can get everything there. Cindy the operator is extremely nice and helpful.
Fire pits are 30" rings with no grate, Tables seem smaller than average.
If you're visiting in the summer, be sure to visit the Farmer's Market , Saturdays on Main Street, also Wagner's Market for the best meats, deli and beverages. The Paine museum & gardens and the city museum are both worth visits as well.
GuideTranquil Timbers advertises pet friendly but they ARE NOT pet friendly. If your dog makes any kind of noise whatsoever, they are NOT welcome. Motorcycles and noisy kids however, park approved!
RangerWe like this place. Friendly staff, clean common area, and nice amenities. The space we had is large, it would fit any RV. We will come back.
ScoutThis is a state run campground that provides plenty of hiking, biking and horse riding trails. There is also access to Lake Winnebago for boating and swimming. The camp sites are all either partially or fully shaded with a good amount of privacy for each site. Plenty or pit toilets are provided and there are also plumbed toilets and showers available on the campground.
This campground is perfect for a weekend getaway or for those families just starting out. It is close enough to town to be able to run in and get forgotten items. There are plenty of playground equipment for kids to run and climb on. If you are looking for a rustic get away this may not be exactly what you are looking for but it is a great spot to get out of the city for a day or two.
GuideI grew up about 10 minutes away from this campground and it is still an awesome place to go when we are looking for a “staycation”!
It’s right by an elementary school so it’s a very safe area, across the road from an AMAZING playground that all ages will love, also about 50ft from a beach! The beach isn’t huge, and is open to the public so at times it gets crowded but is very safe and clean. The beach is on the peshtigo river and is great for kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, jet skiing, and tubing! There is a boat launch less than half a mile towards town on the river that is open to the public! Also includes a skatepark!
There also are two pavilions on parks grounds, both covered. One is smaller on the beach and includes grills and tables, and the other one has a stage on it for performances!
This campground is a mix between RV’s and tenting so you get the best of both worlds! Forget some necessities? No Worries! You’re a 10 minuet drive from Walmart and within walking distance of a cafe and gas stations! There are bathrooms, water hook ups, picnic tables, fire pits, and parking.
(I unfortunately do not have any recent pictures because I lost all of them but google really does a great job of showing what I’m talking about!)
GuideWe went to High Cliff over the 4th of July, so it was quite busy.
We booked sites 22 and 23 which are a double site. Pretty good space, we were able to fit 4 tents and a sleeping hammock. There is overflow parking directly across from the site. There is a main hiking trail behind the sites, but right beyond that are some nice rock formations. A short walk down that path is to a nice look out, especially for sunset.
The beach was very busy, but it was a holiday weekend. There is a large grassy area above the beach with grills and picnic tables. The water at the beach was very mucky when we were there.
The marina was nice. We didn’t have a problem parking. The water was very choppy, so we didn’t stay out long.
There are some nice trails. We saw a lot of families with bikes. The park is also very close to a town with a grocery store (Dicks Family Foods) if you need to stock up. We had a fish fry in town which was delicious!
LegendNo matter what your skill level you can find a trail here from easy to challenging to hike or bike. There is a beach, a marina, Lake Winnebago, horse trails, hiking, biking and pet beach and picnic area. The park is very clean and pretty. There is a playground, several vault toilet areas spread around and a shower house. Some sites have electric and there is a dump station and water fill up.
Both AT &T and Verizon provided good service and the ability to stream. Spaces are large and have many trees for shade and privacy.
RangerA few years back, I was a briefly a white water rafting guide for a company that rode on both the Menominee and Peshtigo Rivers. This camp does a great job on their tubing and river-based activities. People come from far and wide to enjoy the camp's outdoor offerings. The campground has a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to stick around. The cabin are cozy and well furnished. I only regret that I hadn't visited sooner!
TravelerDecided to get back into camping and decided to check out this semi local State Park. Alot of great walking and hiking spots, it was a bit chilly in mid April and especially windy down by the lake. Once up by the campground wind died down and was pretty nice. Site 53 was flat, had a fire pit, and picknick table. Despite being the closest site to the main road and entrance, didn't feel like it was too busy or distracting. Campgrounds were quiet and friendly. Will definitely come back once it warms up a little bit.
