Best Campgrounds near Oostburg, WI

The Lake Michigan shoreline region near Oostburg, Wisconsin provides multiple developed campgrounds with access to beaches, forests, and inland lakes. Kohler-Andrae State Park, located 7 miles east of Oostburg, features camping areas with electric hookups and cabins along sandy dunes and beaches. Additional options include Harrington Beach State Park Campground to the north and several campgrounds within the Kettle Moraine State Forest system approximately 20 miles west, where both tent and RV sites are available. These established camping areas generally operate from May through October, though some remain open year-round.

Wisconsin's state park system imposes standard regulations for camping across most locations near Oostburg, including vehicle entry fees in addition to camping fees. "Wisconsin does their parks and forests right," noted one visitor to Kettle Moraine, highlighting the well-maintained facilities. Road access to most developed campgrounds is suitable for standard vehicles, with many sites accommodating large RVs. Weather considerations include potential for high humidity and insects during summer months, particularly at Harrington Beach State Park where one camper reported the campground "is built on and surrounded by wetlands that are actively in restoration. At the height of summer this place is going to be sweltering and full of bugs."

Camping experiences in this region are characterized by the diverse landscapes between Lake Michigan shoreline and the glacial features of Kettle Moraine. Several visitors mentioned privacy differences between campgrounds, with Harrington Beach receiving praise for secluded sites. "Most of the sites are pretty secluded so if you enjoy your privacy I will love this place," reported one camper. Kettle Moraine's campgrounds offer varied settings from wooded sites to lake access, with one review noting "this campground offers many different kinds of sites such as open sites in a pine forest, down by the lake, or tucked away in the trees." Opportunities for hiking, swimming, and fishing exist throughout the area, with several campgrounds providing direct access to both Lake Michigan beaches and smaller inland lakes, particularly at Mauthe Lake and Long Lake within the Kettle Moraine system.

    Fon du Lac County Waupun Park

    Peaceful wooded camping

    Quiet level throughout. Spots for a couple tents and a camper at each site. Disc golf and a small fishing area. Golf course right next-door so close you could walk to. Most of the sites were in a wooded area, which gives you some privacy. Only downfall for us was distance to the restroom as there’s only one so if you’re in the back of the campground, you gotta walk all the way upfront.

    Waupun Park Campground

    Waupun County Park WI - Campground

    Family friendly campground, playgrounds, pickle ball court, showers, clean bathrooms, fire rings, shared water spigots & power at camp site. There is an outdoor pavilion for groups, firewood for sale at host. Lamp posts light camp road but not overwhelming. Nice shaded sites with mature white oak trees. Enjoyed and recommend if looking for full service campsite.

    Scheffel's Hideaway Campground

    Rude Owner

    My wife and I were looking for a nice campground in this area so we could visit family and my cousin mentioned Scheffel's. I did not read all of the reviews but instead balanced out bad reviews with good ones. Unfortunately, the bad were not exagerrating. Reservation process was ok though not automated. Reserved in January and female owner stated they dont man the phones much while closed. Ok, she seemed nice. Little reaponse from them on followup emails. We checked in on a Thursday. Husband owner guided us to our site and advised us to be aware of crown. Husband was very pleasant. No issues there. Friday morning my wife and I, both seniors, were walking our dogs. We were walking across the playground, dogs had not done anything yet, when the female owner came charging out of her office screaming at us that we cannot walk the dogs there. She stated there were signs. The one sign on the side we entered was fully obscured by a short tree. We started moving in the direction she pointed and my wife said we always pick up after our dogs. She yelled again. She must have stated 3 times she was the owner. I quietly muttered"wow" as I was amazed at her rudeness. She turned and yelled again and I explained we were moving as directed. She started heading back to the office when my wife stated"God Bless You". She was not being sarcastic. We take our faith seriously. The lady turned around and told us to pack up and leave. No reconciling, no working it out. If we were not out by noon she was calling the police. She refused to give us a refund for the 8 days remaining. She has not returned phone messages or emails. We were 800 miles from home and at the beginning of our family visit, I was born in the area. We were very fortunate to find a suitable campground. I have never in my life ever been treated as rudely by someone in the"hospitality" industry. Sorry for the long review. Dont discount the negative on this one.

    The Playful Goose Campground

    Spacious lots, nice staff

    Indoor pool great for kids. Bath house was a bit dated but okay. Coin operated showers, 25 cent for several minutes. Pay attention to reservation online or call….they have multiple types of sites. We accidentally got one without sewer, but they have dump tank on property so no issue. They have fire pits on the sites as well as picnic tables. Nice trails within different areas of campground.

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Great state park , close to the lake & Sheboygan

    Really nice state park with pretty good space in between sites. Some easy, limited elevation hikes around the campground, and a nice mix of pine trees/marsh/open space. Just a few minutes walk to Lake Michigan and a nice beach. Only flaw is the inconsistency with fire pits, some on the opposite side that doesn't give you much privacy for a campfire. The sites on the road aren't great, but at least the picnic table and fire pits are secluded with those.

    Sundance Farm Campground

    Pretty setting. Dirt roads. Few pull throughs.

    We were reserved, but unable to stay due to having a trailer with a car in it and not being able to unhitch to back into a site. Yea, we made that clear when we reserved. Site was paid for, but zero refund when the promised pull through was not available.

    Plymouth Rock Camping Resort

    Mostly seasonal

    The park is mostly seasonal and the short term sites are literally over a mile of tight, windy road to get to them. Once there the sites are ok. Office was closed and non responsive for our entire 4 day stay.
