Best Cabin Camping near Saukville, WI

Several cabin accommodations dot the landscape surrounding Saukville, Wisconsin, with Harrington Beach State Park Campground and Kohler-Andrae State Park offering rental options. Cabins typically include electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits, with many providing basic furniture and sleeping arrangements. Bathroom facilities vary by location, with some cabins having private facilities while others require guests to use communal shower houses and toilets. Harrington Beach features cabins near hiking trails that lead to Lake Michigan, allowing for convenient beach access. "The sites are well manicured, but trees are limited as they had to cut many down due to the emerald ash borer but they have replanted."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Plymouth Rock Camping Resort provides cabin rentals with water and electric hookups, suitable for families seeking more comfortable accommodations. Hoefts Resort and Campground offers cabin options that can be rented by the night, though these are located in busier sections of the property. Most parks require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. According to one visitor, "The tent non-electric campsites are fantastic. We had a nice private campsite that was completely wooded all around it."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire pits while others may include basic cooking equipment. Several campgrounds, including Jellystone Park at Caledonia, feature on-site markets where campers can purchase basic supplies and firewood. The Kettle Moraine State Forest locations provide firewood for purchase near the cabin areas. Visitors planning extended stays should consider bringing cooking supplies, as many cabin kitchens are minimally equipped. For those seeking pet-friendly options, both Harrington Beach State Park and Kohler-Andrae State Park allow pets at designated cabin sites.

    Pine Woods: 24-hour quiet and no pets!

    I drove through this state park to find some great campsites for future camping; I haven't actually stayed here yet.

    The purpose of sharing the following is that is difficult to figure out what are nice sites from the online reservation site. For anyone who is interested in camping here, the following sites, in my opinion, are the best campsites in terms of shade, not being flooded during a rain and privacy.

    There are several camping areas in this state park, I found the most appealing sites in the Pine Woods area because it has no electricity, is a 24-hour quiet area and no pets allowed. The sites in this area generally have long driveways, more "privacy" than I've seen in many State Parks campgrounds and generous space between sites. I don't think there is a lousy site in this loop but my favorites are the following.

    4

    7 very private 

    10 pull-through driveway 

    11 private, long driveway 

    12 awesome, large, private, long driveway 

    14 private, long driveway 

    19 a bed of pine needles to sleep on 

    33 level, pine needles, room for two tents

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Kohler-Andre

    Living rather close to this park, this is our "go-to" place to camp. It has a great variety of activities available. There is a beach AND a dog beach so it's pet-friendly. Dogs are not allowed on all of the trails, but there are many you can take them on. Being on the water, you can swim, kayak, fish, or just soak up some rays! There are also non-reservable sites available. There are many electric sites, clean bath houses, friendly campground hosts, some rather private sites as well. It's a short walk from the campsites to the lake. Our favorite site is next to the woods where we have seen ample deer, turkey, foxes, and birds. Close to town if you need supplies, firewood and ice is available in the park.

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Close to Lake Michigan

    Weekend camping with old and new friends. About 20 minutes from Sheboygan, WI and 2 hours from Chicago, IL, Kohler-Andrae State Park Campground, is a few minutes drive or walk from Lake Michigan. There are about 130 campsites, cabins with ADA accessibility, two group sites, an amphitheater, and shelters. Each site does have a fire ring and picnic table. However, the sites are very close to each other which leaves very little privacy, but the campers are very respectful to each other. 

    This campground does have a lot of amenities from showers, vault/flush toilets, water spigots spread around, playground, amphitheater, dump station, electric sites, and recycling containers. The sites on the south end and in the center seem more spacious and the surrounding pine, birch, and beechwood trees offer great shade and places to hang hammocks. I did see a teepee and can be reserved. Campers have access to Lake Michigan. The camp fee varies from$15-$35 along with a daily park entrance fee of$8-$15 depending on your license plate. The trails nearby have boardwalks to prevent damage on the dune vegetation. You could see the stars on a clear night. Keep your food in proper storage and in vehicles. Raccoons frequent the campground and are not afraid of humans. They would take food at any opportunity they get. Our marshmallows were stolen as we were about to make smores.  But besides, that mishap, Kohler-Andrae has a lot to offer. I would definitely camp here again but do hammock camping.

    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.

    Lovely campsites

    The tent non-electric campsites are fantastic. We had a nice private campsite that was completely wooded all around it. The campsite had a fire pit and picnic table that were both in great condition. The restroom and showers were very well maintained. They also offer a shuttle to the beach.

    Campsite 034

    We liked this site because it was on the "quiet loop." No radios or pets allowed. I'm not sure about children! :) The sites are fairly close together and the trees are sparse, but it was a beautiful site and wonderfully quiet for the long weekend over the 4th of July 2017.

    You can walk over to an area that has hiking trails right out of the campsite. State park mountain biking trails are also close by, but you would need to drive to them. The showers were clean and when we used them, available. There is a playground right next to them as well.

    The campsite itself had a good log-stopper so you wouldn't drive too far into the woods, great fire ring, and picnic table. We had nice flat areas for our tents.

    I am not so sure I would have enjoyed myself if I'd been in another loop. The quiet was perfect!

    Harrington Beach State Park Campground

    Pros and Cons Here

    We mostly enjoyed our trip here over Memorial Day Weekend. It’s not too far away from our home and a nice gear testing first trip.

    Pros: Spacious grassy site. This one even had an attached smaller clearing perfect for our 7 year old to use for her own space where we set up a hammock for her.

    The campsites feel very private with a thick brush between each site. It’s not a huge campground.

    Bathrooms and showers are very cleans and actually closed from 11am-noon each day for complete cleaning.

    Gorgeous magnificent trails and right on Lake Michigan. Also a beautiful quarry lake with a trail all the way around and a cute pond full of turtles!

    Very nice, completely cleaned fire pits.

    Cheap bundle yourself firewood. Cons:

    Gorgeous hikes, but short. We prefer more distance.

    Maybe because of its proximity to the lake and Milwaukee or perhaps the holiday weekend but this was a louder campground. More of a party vibe than we really look for in state parks. A particular group was extremely loud and kept us up until 4 am the first night. No park ranger on duty. It’s nice when quiet hours are observed.

    No trees really on the campground and it 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. The mosquitoes will be especially terrible.

    Overall we have and love this park for a day trip but probably won’t return to camp.

    Harrington Beach State Park Campground

    Great Camping

    Very nice State park and campsite. Campsite had plenty of space, nice fire pit, and picnic table. The showers on site were the cleanest I have experienced while camping, this was much appreciated. Lake Michigan is under a 5 minute drive with clean beaches. There are plenty of walking trails and fishing spots near by. Highly recommended this campsite. I will be returning to camp and even a day trip to hike and fish. Bring a canopy during warm months. We did not have one and there were no big trees for shade. Got very warm without a canopy to sit under.

    Harrington Beach State Park Campground

    Beautiful secluded state park!

    This was our first time camping in Wisconsin and we got to say we absolutely love this park. Most of the sites are pretty secluded so if you enjoy your privacy I will love this place. Everything was clean and updated including the bathrooms. The campsites are about a mile or two from Lake Michigan but it is an easy drive or hike as there are many trails that go through the park. When we went to the lake level was up so high due to flooding that we weren’t really able to enjoy the beach but normally there is plenty of coastline for enjoying some beach time.


Guide to Saukville

Cabins near Saukville, Wisconsin offer access to the glacially-formed Kettle Moraine region, characterized by kames, kettles, and eskers left by the retreat of ice sheets 10,000 years ago. The area features diverse ecosystems including oak savannas, wetlands, and hardwood forests. Summer high temperatures typically range from 75-85°F, while spring and fall camping seasons see temperatures between 45-70°F depending on the month.

What to do

Lake activities: At Ottawa Lake Campground within Kettle Moraine State Forest, visitors can swim at the designated beach or fish from the pier. "The lake is nice and there is a very nice beach as well as a fishing pier," notes one camper, while another mentions "The beach has some nice sand to out your toes in Ana the waves were great when we were there. Water is pretty clear and clean."

Hiking: Kohler-Andrae State Park offers diverse hiking opportunities with dune boardwalks and marsh trails. A visitor explains, "Trails, dunes, marshes, forests, and Lake Michigan. Very well kept... Nice trails through marsh, woods, and dunes. Make sure to venture into Sheybogan and check out the lighthouse."

Swimming and water activities: Harrington Beach State Park provides Lake Michigan beach access with varying water conditions. "When we went to the lake level was up so high due to flooding that we weren't really able to enjoy the beach but normally there is plenty of coastline for enjoying some beach time," one camper shares. Another notes, "The huge sandy beach spans the entire length of the park."

Seasonal camping: Several rental cabins in the Saukville region remain open year-round, particularly in the Kettle Moraine State Forest areas. "You can camp year around in this campground. Most recent 2 times were winter camping. No host so buying wood is an issue, but pick a site on the edge and there is more than enough free. Bring a saw," advises a winter visitor to Ottawa Lake.

What campers like

Privacy and seclusion: Many cabin rentals and campsites offer separation from neighbors. At Harrington Beach State Park Campground, "Most of the sites are pretty secluded so if you enjoy your privacy I will love this place. Everything was clean and updated including the bathrooms." Another visitor to Kettle Moraine's Pine Woods area notes, "There are several camping areas in this state park, I found the most appealing sites in the Pine Woods area because it has no electricity, is a 24-hour quiet area and no pets allowed."

Clean facilities: Rental cabins and campgrounds maintain good hygiene standards. At Harrington Beach, one camper states, "Park campground is well kept as well as the facilities. Beach is nice." Another visitor comments on Ottawa Lake, "Prairie Like Setting with ULTRA clean bathrooms. We loved this camp! Very quiet, beautiful paved roads, super clean bathrooms."

Family-friendly activities: Many campgrounds with cabin rentals offer recreational options. Plymouth Rock Camping Resort provides "three pools, Mimi golf, outdoor movies, the weekend we were there they had a band." A visitor to Jellystone Park at Caledonia mentions, "Great campground for families! Tons to do! Bathrooms/showers are good. Comfortable stay."

Natural surroundings: The wooded settings create appealing environments for cabin stays. A visitor to Kettle Moraine describes, "The sites are roomy and (at least the one I was using) was wooded and private. I was camping with another party and we had adjoining sites. There was a small trail between the two sites that made it very convenient for walking back and forth."

What you should know

Reservations required: Cabin rentals fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. For Kettle Moraine, a visitor advises, "Great for all campers whether privative or big honking buses. Within an hour of major suburbs of Milwaukee but out of the way. Clean a peaceful with great beaches, fishing, and hiking. Please reserve especially on weekends."

Varying privacy levels: Some cabin areas offer more seclusion than others. At Breezy Hill Campground, a visitor observed, "It's extremely clean, kid and pet friendly, with lots of amenities. Staff is incredibly friendly! The only downside is that if you want visitors, there is a $5/visitor fee."

Weather considerations: Lake Michigan proximity affects local conditions. A Harrington Beach visitor noted, "This is a nice little campground but they had to cut down most of the trees due to the emerald ash borrer. when the sun is out it gets HOT."

Cost variations: Cabin rental prices differ substantially based on amenities and location. About Plymouth Rock Camping Resort, one camper stated, "Nice activities for the kids to participate in but campsites are small. It was nice to be able to rent a golf cart because the park is large and the activities are spread about."

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Families should research recreational options before booking. Jellystone Park at Caledonia offers extensive children's activities: "Plenty of things to do all day with the rec dept staff and lots of sightings of Yogi, Boo Boo, and Cindy Bear! Pool and Bear Paw beach are both nice, the kids had a blast at both."

Site selection: Choose cabin locations based on proximity to amenities. At Harrington Beach State Park, one parent shared, "Took my 2 year old fir first time tent camping, we were at site 231, which was huge and very nice. We had some friends at other sites that weren't as nice. There is a YouTube video posted of all the sites."

Noise levels: Consider which cabin areas offer quieter environments. A Kettle Moraine camper recommended, "We liked this site because it was on the 'quiet loop.' No radios or pets allowed. I'm not sure about children! :) The sites are fairly close together and the trees are sparse, but it was a beautiful site and wonderfully quiet for the long weekend over the 4th of July."

Budgeting: Plan for additional expenses beyond cabin rental fees. A visitor to Jellystone noted, "Yogi Bear campground is a nice, clean campground. Rental options and the big pool are wonderful. I can't afford to go there often though because it is pricey."

Tips from RVers

Road access: Some cabin areas have challenging access roads. About Plymouth Rock Camping Resort, one RVer observed, "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."

Site conditions: Ask about specific cabin site features when booking. At Hoefts Resort and Campground, a reviewer noted, "This campground is a great family oriented campground. There were many seasonal sites that were located in the main portion of the campground... The main section of this campground is very open with few trees."

Utility connections: Check what hookups are available with cabin rentals. In Kettle Moraine, "Our site had electric only, which suited our needs. Overall, a great campground close to home, and we will be back!"

Off-season options: Consider cabin rentals during shoulder seasons for better availability. At Ottawa Lake, "Nice campground not far from Milwaukee," makes it convenient for short trips during spring and fall when crowds thin out.
