Best Campgrounds near Saukville, WI

402 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.

    Ottawa Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest-Southern Unit

    Close to "home" beautiful sites

    We've been full time RVers for 4 years and this is a beautiful campground close to "home". We stay here a couple of times each year for doctor and dentist appointments, visiting family and friends, and general relaxation.

    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.

    Circle K Campground

    Horrid management, bad experience

    Management (owners Ed and Coleen) are two of the rudest people I have ever met, with Ed fabricating outrageous, completely inaccurate stories highlighting either his "heroics" (like when his personal fire truck he has was working people would call him before 911) but more often how he has been slighted because of other's inadequacies (local grocery store doesn't like him because "his campers buy all their food leaving none for the locals), and also falsities behind his rules (the U.S. Postmaster does not allow anyone else's packages/mail to be delivered to the campground).  They are completely intolerant of kids/teenagers (and, heresay from conversations with seasonal residents, special needs kids) - rules for use of the pool is that it is open after a certain time and if the air temp is above a certain level - we personally witnessed 3 young teens ask to get into the pool an hour after the pool should've been open and it was 5 degrees over Ed's stated temp, but no one else was using the pool and Ed turned them away - told them to swim in the cesspool... I mean, pond.

    Ed constantly creates new rules on a whim and is exceedingly selective (read: biased) for whom those rules are enforced. If you have a problem with the campsite (water, electricity, dead trees, ground hornets, you name it) - it is because YOU did something wrong, and if you disagree he will harass you to no end and may even kick you out. Some of the seasonal campers are nice, others (those "in" with the owners) are not. I would not recommend this campground to anyone unless/until it is under new ownership.

    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.

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.
