Tips for camping with families
Look for campgrounds with kids' activities: Family-focused rv parks near Omro provide structured recreation. At Plymouth Rock Camping Resort, campers find "three pools, mini golf, outdoor movies, the weekend we were there they had a band," according to Lauren P.
Consider noise levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy, especially during special events or due to nearby attractions. Lisa S. cautions about Fremont RV Campground: "Campground is FULL of kids which means full of noise and activity. Its 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."

Tips from RVers
Confirm site dimensions before booking: Longer rigs may face challenges at some campgrounds. Jeremy B. notes about Pearl Lake RV Campground: "Just know that 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."
Consider satellite connectivity needs: For those requiring internet access, tree cover may affect service. Whistle P. shares that at Pearl Lake RV Campground, "Starlink was accessible if the dish could be placed around the pool with access to the sky."
Check shower facilities: Bathroom amenities vary widely between campgrounds. At Omro RV Park, Doug S. reports they have "bathrooms and showers available," while Whistle P. cautions that at Pearl Lake, "The bathrooms are ok but the showers are terrible. You must push a button every 20 seconds to keep the water coming."
