    S’Mores Campground

    Wonderful family weekend

    I took my daughter and her friend here for the weekend, 10 years old. We rented a cabin for the weekend. Amazing cabins, amazing setup, they all have picnic tables and benches on porch. Cabin had three beds, fridge, air conditioner, two windows, plenty of plugs in. Bring your own sleeping bags/towels and etc as these are not provided. Fire ring provided down the stairs from us, even further down was the huge extremely clean pool, bathrooms, showers. Both of which were amazing! And free of use. Pool is very well maintained and kept, plenty of chairs to use and tables. Right next to the pool was a huge and brand new kids play area. They also have rock mining for kids located by the pool which the kids loved. They also liked the store; a lot of neat things in there for adults, kids, camp, and even animal friends. Commons area which is open at the front, made for a nice sitting to relax. Also located on the beach which was nice to see and the dock area was nice, kids liked it. The set up is great, a little confusing the first time but easy to learn. All of the Cabins were close except for the first two which were at the entrance of the park and bigger. They were two rooms compared to our one room. Permanent residence were extremely nice, the campsite is privately owned and operated which we loved and met the owners. We will certainly be back again! Additional information that may be helpful since I researched this campsite extensively May 15 th to October 6th is the campsites open/ closed dates. Check in for campsites and yurts are different. Campsites is at 2, cabin and hurts 3pm but we checked in early about a half hour. No additional charge. Animals welcome, must be leased and friendly. If you have visitors must be gone by 9pm- they actually let my husband stay with no additional charge or fee and accommodated our two vehicles. Otherwise one vehicle per cabin. Location was extremely easy with the signs directly off of highway. Not far from town, if you need something or go to store there; they probably have what you need. Basic sites, some with piers overlooking the beach and huge! Beautiful absolutely will camp there with our tent. Pull through and deluxe sites, seasonal sites, decks, and dogi pots(hint hint). All campsites babe electric and water, the yurt is amazing! It comes with couch, beds, tables, and so much more! It is located on the water scenery and a little more private by being set back. Yurt also has heat and ac; wouldn’t mind staying there in early May or late September. Outdoor picnic area, plenty of room for about 15 people and includes setting in a circular setting located directly by the playground/ pool and playroom. They have events as well, the kids and I not only used the mining system by the office but we watched a movie by the playground area- it was amazing and free! Camping lakeside or not lakeside. There was a secluded campsite and raised above, number 155- I’d suggest this one for anyone who want to get a way and be alone. It was a nice site and I didn’t notice it until we left. 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. Oh forgot to mention there was also a microwave in the room and a broom, garbage bins. The door was rustic and still has a lock on it but it was the pulley door which the kids loved. To my understanding there are no pets allowed in the yurt. Also the only, one and only thing I didn’t like was that wood couldn’t be purchased else where. The wood purchased there burnt fast and didn’t last long, we only used it to cook food on our tripod due to how fast the wood burnt. Although there was also a park grill on the cabin premises too which we didn’t use; very used and had nothing to clean it with. There are seasonal sites, I don’t know how much they are but it’s a very quiet campground and everyone folllowed 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. Camp owner/ host lives directly across from the check in office/ store so that was comforting knowing someone was at the gate at all times. We walked down to the beach, lake area. At the tome it was being worked on but it was still beautiful and very quiet. No bugs in this area either. You can make reservations on line, see pictures on line, rates on line, and see the camp map. If i has to recommend any sites it’d be 151 for tenting and wanting to be alone, away from everyone. Campsite number 17 for camping with a tent/ pop up because it over looks the beach and has a huge deck to sit on, have dinner on or drink coffee while watching the beach another three sites I’d recommend, tents only is number 61 63 or 65. They are down further than the rest of the campsites, they are also a little more secluded and with a beach view. This would be perfect for a set of three friends camping together to rent. This is also main entrance to beach are. I also wouldn’t mind renting the first cabin when you enter campground as it’s bigger. There is one cabin I wouldn’t suggest and that’s 106. It’s in the middle of a triangle area for traffic. It was exactly across from our cabin and a lot of traffic going by it from many different ways. Finally thanks S’mores for the amazing stay; they truly accommodated us and we appreciate it.

    Sleepy Hollow Farms

    Convenient to the highway

    General: 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.

    Hickory Oaks Campground

    Best option in Oshkosh

    All 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.

    Evergreen Campsites and Resort

    Such a great campground!

    We visited Evergreen for the first time over the July 4th weekend. This trip was our second - ever - camping weekend following purchasing our travel trailer. We expected the worst, given the weekend with noisy neighbors and fireworks. Wow we’re we wrong! The guests were all SO courteous, pleasant and a joy to be around! The campground is immaculate and the amenities were top rate! Our group rented a pontoon boat for a day and floating around the lake absolutely made the trip. So much so, that we booked 2021 before even leaving the campground. Our group of 15 intend to make this our annual destination! 

    One thing guests should know, the only cell service available in the area is AT&T. As a Verizon subscriber, we were completely off grid the entire weekend, unless we used our car as a hotspot (AT&T). 

    Our final recommendation? Reserve here! You won’t be disappointed!

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    Close to town but surrounded by nature.

    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. 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.

    Peshtigo River Campground

    Great for Families and a weekend getaway!

    I 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!)

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    Nice state park with lots to do

    We 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!

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    So much to do for everyone

    No 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.


Guide to Nichols

Cabin camping near Nichols, Wisconsin offers opportunities in the glacial drift landscape of eastern Wisconsin, characterized by rolling hills, mixed hardwood forests, and numerous waterways. Winter temperatures regularly drop below 10°F, while summer highs reach into the mid-80s with moderate humidity. Most cabin sites remain open from May through October, with select locations offering heated options for winter camping.

What to do

Hiking trails and cliffs: High Cliff State Park Campground features distinctive limestone cliff formations along Lake Winnebago. "My favorite thing about this park and campground is the hiking. Part of the Niagra escarpment there are plenty of cliffs and fun views along the trails," notes Racheal M. The park includes numerous designated trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty.

Water activities: S'Mores Campground provides lake access with swimming options during summer months. "Small campground but it's nice and has a pool and playground plus a lake," explains Cassie W. The campground maintains a swimming pool that typically opens Memorial Day weekend and closes after Labor Day.

Fishing opportunities: Tilleda Falls Campground offers river fishing along the Embarrass River. "On the Embarrass River, a lovely small cascading falls and swimming area. Small store, nicely maintained grounds," writes Mary P. The falls area creates natural pools where fish gather, making it productive for anglers.

Wildlife viewing: Hickory Oaks Campground provides natural habitat for various wildlife species. "We saw so much wildlife! Chipmunks, ducks, a great horned owl, and countless birds to name a few," shares Hannah H. Morning and evening hours offer the best viewing opportunities.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Hickory Oaks Campground maintains well-kept bathroom and shower facilities. "Bathrooms are well maintained, showers are free, and there is ice cream and some camping stuff for sale in the office," notes Hannah H. The campground provides daily cleaning of restroom facilities.

Family-oriented activities: Pine Grove Campground offers numerous recreation options for children. "Has a nice sand beach with clear water for swimming, as well as a pool area that are both great for the kids. There's also a few animals that you can go over and feed if you like," says Joe W. The main beach area connects to sites 61, 63, and 65.

Quiet environment: Many locations prioritize peaceful settings despite being near recreational facilities. "Very quiet campground. Nice pool," mentions Jon C. about S'Mores Campground. Most campgrounds enforce quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Natural features: High Cliff State Park Campground incorporates unique geological features. "Really cool cliffs to climb/hike. There is also a lime kiln to hike to and see. There are two playgrounds for the kids as well," reports Kaylyn C. The lime kiln trail presents moderate difficulty with uneven terrain.

What you should know

Seasonal availability: Water services typically operate only during warmer months. "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," explains Brandl B. at High Cliff State Park.

Site specifications: Cabin accommodations vary significantly between locations. "Sites were clean. The staff were very friendly, respectful and kind. The scenery is beautiful," writes Matthew H. about Hickory Oaks Campground, which offers basic cabin units with electricity.

Highway proximity: Some campgrounds sit near major roadways, creating background noise. "What wasn't so great was the proximity to the interstate, unfortunately, there is no changing that," notes Scott D. about Apple Creek Campground. Cabins further from road frontage typically offer quieter conditions.

Reservation requirements: Kinney Lake Campground (formerly Farmer Gene's) requires advance bookings for cabin units. "We loved camping here when it was farmer genes our whole family," remarks Cassie W. Reservation windows open 6-12 months in advance depending on the property.

Tips for camping with families

Children's activities: Fremont RV Campground provides structured programming for younger campers. "This was a fun place to go with a group of people. Even though there was a huge rainstorm before we got there and had standing water in our site, it drained quickly. They had a DJ there which was fun to listen to in the common area while with others," shares Andrew C. Weekly themed events often include costume contests, scavenger hunts, and outdoor movies.

Playgrounds: Dedicated play areas give children appropriate recreation spaces. "Great outdoor waterpark. Fun dance for kids on Saturday night," observes Lucas S. about Fremont RV Campground. Most play equipment suits ages 5-12 with limited options for toddlers.

Swimming options: Multiple properties maintain swimming facilities with varying supervision levels. "Lots for kids to do in their kid-friendly pool, arcade, park, and bounce house area that our group of kids loved," writes Andrew C. about Pine Grove Campground. Pool hours typically run from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. during summer.

Tips from RVers

Hookup types: Electrical service varies between 30-amp and 50-amp connections. "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," notes Robert O. about Apple Creek Campground. Sites with full hookups command premium rates, often $10-15 more per night than partial hookup sites.

Site spacing: Space between units differs significantly between properties. "The campsites were very close together. This would be a good place to stay for a Packer preseason game or if you were going to be away from the campsite," explains Jill G. about Apple Creek Campground. End sites and corner locations typically offer more privacy.

Dump station access: Sanitary services have varied availability. "My wife and I usually do not like being so close to other campers... but we decided to stay here cause it's close to my in-laws. We wanted septic and they didn't tell us that the septic is a guy in a truck who comes by one or two times a week. There is a dump station however," mentions Ross C. at Apple Creek Campground. Most dump stations operate during daylight hours only.
