Best Campgrounds near Saukville, WI

412 Reviews

The eastern Wisconsin landscape surrounding Saukville features diverse camping opportunities within a 30-mile radius, primarily concentrated in the glacially-formed Kettle Moraine region. State parks and forests dominate the camping scene, with Harrington Beach State Park offering Lake Michigan shoreline access just 15 minutes east in Belgium. The Kettle Moraine State Forest system provides multiple campground options including Mauthe Lake, Long Lake, and Pike Lake units, all featuring a mix of wooded and lakeside sites. Waubedonia County Park in nearby Fredonia offers more basic tent camping facilities, while private campgrounds supplement these public options with additional amenities for RVs and glamping experiences.

Wisconsin state park campgrounds typically operate from early May through October, with some facilities like Kohler-Andrae State Park remaining open year-round. Reservations are essential during summer weekends and holiday periods when sites fill quickly. Weather conditions vary significantly by season, with summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F and high humidity that can bring mosquitoes, especially in wooded areas. As one camper noted at Harrington Beach, "Most of the sites are pretty secluded so if you enjoy your privacy you will love this place. Everything was clean and updated including the bathrooms." Fall camping brings cooler temperatures with nights dropping into the 30s-40s by mid-October, creating excellent hiking conditions on the region's extensive trail networks.

The Ice Age Trail runs through several campgrounds in the area, providing hikers with convenient access to this 1,200-mile scenic route. Campers frequently mention the privacy of sites as a significant advantage, particularly in the Kettle Moraine units where thick vegetation creates natural screening between campsites. "The campground is clean and spread out. This campground offers some of the cleanest showers I have encountered," reported one visitor to Mauthe Lake. Lake access for swimming and fishing represents another major draw, though site quality varies considerably within each campground. Upper loops and hillside sites typically offer more seclusion than lakeside areas, which tend to be more crowded but provide convenient water access. Most campgrounds maintain well-kept facilities with flush toilets and hot showers during the main season.

    Harrington Beach State Park - Group Campground

    A Spacious Setting Near Lake Michigan

    The Group Campground at Harrington Beach State Park brings a completely different energy, offering an expansive, open setting that feels made for large family reunions, scout troops, family birthday party overnighters and lively gatherings that stretch long into the evening. Unlike the more intimate family sites, this area is designed for scale, with wide communal spaces, larger fire rings and plenty of room for picnic tables, shared meals and kid-filled games of tag and flag football. We passed through and couldn’t help but smile watching a group roast marshmallows together while another set of kids played flashlight hide-and-seek across the open field. While it is less private and more bustling, this locale creates a joyful sense of togetherness that feels perfect for celebrations and group bonding. While the restroom and shower facilities were mediocre (at best), they were functional and clean. But the real star here is the close proximity to Lake Michigan. I’d recommend this Group Campground for larger parties who want space to spread out, EZ beach access and the freedom to make memories together in a beautiful lakeside setting.

    Harrington Beach State Park Campground

    Lake Michigan Sunsets & Firefly Evenings

    There is something deeply calming about waking up just steps from Lake Michigan at the Harrington Beach State Park Family Campground, where our little crew found the perfect balance of nature and comfort in a setting that feels both scenic and safe. The campground is well-organized with clearly defined family-sized sites, clean restrooms and EZ access to walking trails and the beach, making it especially friendly for parents juggling gear and excited boys. One of our favorite moments was sitting around the campfire as we tried to stay warm from an early first wave of the winter to come while the sun melted into the lake in soft pink streaks. We loved that everything felt thoughtfully laid out without feeling crowded or chaotic. I would absolutely recommend this campground for families looking for a peaceful getaway with just enough adventure, thanks to its natural beauty, clean facilities, lakefront access and gentle, welcoming atmosphere.

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Dunes, Driftwood & Barefoot Bliss

    There is something wonderfully grounding about settling into the Family Campground at Kohler-Andrae State Park, where our little crew felt instantly wrapped in the gentle rhythm of Lake Michigan and the whispering grasses of the sandy dunes that our boys loved to explore. The campground is very well laid out with 137 clearly defined family-sized sites (52 of which have electrical hookups), exceptionally clean restrooms and perfectly manicured pathways leading to the boardwalk and shoreline, making every moment of exploration feeling manageable and peaceful. One of our favorite moments was walking down the wooden boardwalk as the boys raced ahead to spot driftwood treasures and tiny shore birds along the beach. Everything here feels calm, safe and naturally beautiful without being overly rugged. And while you can bring everything you will need to enjoy camping here, in case you forget anything, nearby Sheboygan has you covered for just about any supply you could think of (except for firewood, which you can buy either at the park office or from one of the campground hosts). I would absolutely recommend this campground for families seeking a soothing lakeside escape with a perfect mix of nature, comfort, and gentle adventure.

    Menomonee Park by Waukesha County Parks

    Great county park

    This is a nice getaway for camping, picnics, hiking, fishing and in the summer swimming! They only offer swimming with lifeguards in the summer months. They have great open spaces for group camping.

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Very nearly the perfect state park.

    This park is pretty much the perfect blend of forest, marsh, beach, dunes, and hills. It's got breathtaking views year round. Not all sites are created equal- there's functionally three different types of campsite. The southernmost are wooded and fairly private. There's a longer walk to the showers. Feels more primitive, although the roads are well maintained and bathrooms clean. The campsites in the middle of the park have few trees and little privacy. These are more like crash pads if you want to spend the day swimming, hiking, or fishing. The north end of the park offers denser woods and more established sites. These are close to the water and the park exit. Winter camping is peaceful and quiet. Spring is exciting, but can be wet. Summer is cool near the lake and usually busier. Fall is crisp and colorful.

    Wisconsin State Fair RV Park

    A warning for RV owners needing winter storage

    If you are looking for winter storage, look elsewhere. The Wisconsin State Fair RV Park storage is run with zero flexibility and rude service. 

    The Access Issues: They have extremely limited hours(10 AM- 3 PM Monday to Saturday), are closed on every minor holiday, and require you to give 24-hour notice so someone can unlock the lot. If you work a normal job or have a busy schedule, good luck getting your rig ready to leave. 

    The 'Money Grab': I planned to leave on 1/21, but my truck was hit, and I physically couldn't move the camper. I admitted I missed the 11 AM checkout deadline, but when they called me at 1:12 PM, I returned the call 3 minutes later to extend my storage for another 23 days. Instead of waiving the late fee since I was paying for nearly another month of storage, the rude receptionist just quoted'rules and regulations' and charged me an extra $25. 

    It’s completely unreasonable to charge a late checkout fee to a customer who is actively extending their stay due to an emergency. It feels like a terrible money grab. Save yourself the headache and store somewhere else.

Guide to Saukville

Camping sites near Saukville, Wisconsin offer a range of outdoor experiences within 30 miles of this eastern Wisconsin community. The area sits at an elevation averaging 800-900 feet above sea level with terrain shaped by glacial retreat that created the distinctive kettle formations and moraines. Winter camping is available at select locations like Kohler-Andrae State Park, where temperatures can drop below 15°F in January, requiring proper cold-weather gear and insulation.

What to do

Explore the astronomy trail: Pike Lake's unique interpretive astronomy trail provides educational opportunities for stargazers. "The sunset on the lake is ridiculously beautiful!" notes Elizabeth S. about nearby Mauthe Lake Campground.

Visit local attractions: Make a short trip to the town of Dundee from Long Lake for a unique treat. "Took a ride over to the town of Dundee and checked out Hamburger Haus for some HUGE ice cream cones," reports Brandon L. at Long Lake Campground.

Water activities: Most campgrounds offer swimming and fishing opportunities, with several featuring sandy beaches. "The lake is nice and the sites are good. A little outdated for amenities but West Bend is just 5 minutes away and has a lot to offer," mentions Aaron W. about Lake Lenwood Beach and Campground.

What campers like

Private campsites: Many campers appreciate the secluded nature of sites in the area forests. "Took my 2 year old for first time tent camping, we were at site 231, which was huge and very nice," shares Jenny L. about Harrington Beach State Park.

Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness is frequently mentioned in reviews. "The campground facilities are clean, 30 amp at the electrical site worked perfectly. Other campers amazingly friendly," reports Elizabeth S. about Mauthe Lake.

Beach quality: Sandy beaches are a highlight at several campgrounds. "Very nice, clean and quiet campground. The showers are a bit of a hike from most sites but they are private/individual rooms," notes Graisyn S. about Long Lake Campground.

What you should know

Site selection matters: Not all sites offer the same level of privacy or convenience. "If I had to guess I think it was about a quarter mile hike to the site. There are a few back there but once there it feels secluded," explains Matt N. about Pike Lake Campground.

Shower facilities vary: While most state park campgrounds offer showers, the quality differs. "The shower house is perfect for an end of the day washing," mentions Charles M. about Mauthe Lake, while others note longer walks to shower buildings.

Weather considerations: The area experiences significant seasonal variation. "I wasn't planning on it being that cool at night, I know better now," warns Lillix E. about Kohler-Andrae State Park, noting the temperature drops even during summer months.

Tips for camping with families

Look for playgrounds: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. "Nice beach/swimming area, bike path, and playground for the kids," recommends Kaylyn C. about Long Lake.

Consider walk-in effort: Some sites require hiking gear in, which can be challenging with children. "Upper loops and hillside sites typically offer more seclusion than lakeside areas," but as Amanda G. notes about Harrington Beach, "The lake was a short bike ride from our site, and we enjoyed walking the beach and attached trails."

Pet restrictions: Dog owners should research pet policies before arriving. "The pet picnic area was pretty disappointing. Just a small opening for a dog jumping in the water. All the nice beach area was not open for a dog," shares Heewon A. about Long Lake.

Tips from RVers

Electric hookup locations: Some electric sites require planning for cord reach. "For some sites in 'C' bathrooms a long walk. Electric hookup for 30c a long reach," advises Kathie M. about Menomonee Park.

Site selection for larger units: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger RVs. "Each of the 32 sites is unique in their own way. Some are large and flat perfect for a class A (#2 #4, #29 #31 is okay, but smaller)," reports Sugar Maple S. about Pike Lake.

Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds have tight turns that can be difficult for larger rigs. "There is a TIGHT turn in the campground loop near site #17 to be aware of with longer trailers," warns Sugar Maple S., providing specific information RV campers need to know before arriving at Pike Lake.
