CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Campers heading to Sheboygan, Wisconsin can find good spots at both High Cliff State Park Campground and Harrington Beach State Park Campground. High Cliff has hiking trails and nice views, while Harrington Beach sits right on Lake Michigan with sandy beaches and well-kept sites. You can camp at either park throughout the year, though many people prefer spring and fall when it's not too hot or cold. Getting to these parks is easy on paved roads. High Cliff comes with restrooms and picnic areas that work well if you're bringing kids along. At Harrington Beach, you can fish or walk the nature trails between camping sessions. The firewood costs more at these parks than you might expect, so you might want to bring your own. It's smart to check ahead for any closures or rules that might affect your trip, especially during off-seasons.

    Scheffel's Hideaway Campground

    Loved this quiet, clean, and friendly park

    Scheffel's Hideaway Campground Two Rivers, Wisconsin We reserved a site at Scheffel's Hideaway Campground based on a comment from a camping acquaintance that the area was beautiful, friendly, and cooler than average. Since we had never been to that part of Wisconsin, we decided to give it a try. We've been full-time RVers for 14 years and can honestly say this is our favorite spot out of at least two or three hundred other campgrounds including everything from boondocking to resorts. The grounds are immaculate, as are the restrooms and two laundry rooms, which are handicapped friendly. The roads, while unpaved are of a fine shell or gravel and hard packed so these are easy to traverse using a walker. There are miles of popular, well-kept walking/bicycle paths nearby going from Point Rawley to the north, past the park and on to Manitowoc to the south. The owners of the park, Tammie and Paul, love the park and are working tirelessly at making it more beautiful every year. There is a lovely pond, lots shrubs and flowers as well as bat houses, bird houses and feeders(we watched goldfinches as we ate dinner several times), whimsical decorations large and small scattered throughout which are changed with the seasons. A number of sites have shade, and most of those without full grown trees have young trees about 15 feet tall or so and will provide more shade every year. Guidelines for the park are clear and reasonable: guests are asked to respect the space and people which is of course, simple common courtesy. All-in-all, this is is our idea of the perfect combination of a natural and well-kept park and friendly people. We are looking forward to our next, longer visit next year. Thank you for a wonderful three months, Tammie and Paul.

    Long Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit-Iansr

    Beach test positive for ecoli 2x this year.

    If you stay here do not swim.  They have 2 beaches, they test one for ecoli and close it but leave the other one open because they don't have to test both. It's 50 feet away.  If you don't test, it can't be bad.  How stupid.  They rake goose dumplings into the sand.  Who is managing this place? Camping is fine.  Stay off the beach it's not safe.

    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.

    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.

Guide to Sheboygan

Kohler-Andrae State Park provides camping spots near Sheboygan, Wisconsin right along Lake Michigan's shoreline. The park's natural sand dunes and marsh areas create varied ecosystems for campers to explore. Winter temperatures average between 10-30°F, while summer temperatures typically range from 60-80°F with moderate humidity from the lake.

What to do

Beach activities on Lake Michigan: At Kohler-Andrae State Park, visitors can enjoy the sandy beaches along the lakeshore. "Gorgeous place to camp! everything was beautiful, this park has it all... spacious campsites, sand dunes, trails, beach, gorgeous sunsets!" notes Kendra G.

Explore historical sites: Take a short drive to nearby Sheboygan landmarks. "Make sure to venture into Sheybogan and check out the lighthouse," suggests Kathie M. after camping at Kohler-Andrae.

Hike the boardwalk trails: The dune boardwalk trail at Kohler-Andrae offers unique views of the lake. "Hiking is nice, there is a dune boardwalk trail that is good that runs parallel to Lake Michigan shoreline," explains Shanon P.

Disc golf and soccer ball course: The Broughton Sheboygan Marsh Park Campground offers recreational options beyond hiking. "They have an 18 hole disc golf course and a nine hole soccer ball course. Brand new play ground added," shares Jill G.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Long Lake Campground offers secluded camping spots. "Very nice campground. Sites are decent sized for tenting or small camper. Almost all the sites are surround by trees and small brush so it gives a private feel," says Brandon L.

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the well-maintained bathrooms at many campgrounds. "The bathhouse very nice. Very nice nature center. Laundry facilities available," notes Kathie M. about Kohler-Andrae State Park.

Lake views and sunsets: The waterfront locations provide scenic vistas. "Sunrises so, so beautiful. This campground has everything! Trails, dunes, marshes, forests, and Lake Michigan," shares Kathie M.

Well-marked trail systems: Mauthe Lake Campground in Kettle Moraine connects to extensive trails. "There is a crushed gravel trail running from here to Long Lake that is great for running/walking/biking," explains Sarah L.

What you should know

Seasonal water availability: Water systems may not operate year-round. At High Cliff State Park Campground, "Only gripe is the uncertain schedule they have for turning on water for the season. First week or two of May is a safe bet, but no promises," warns Brandl B.

Beach conditions can change: Water levels affect beach access at some parks. At Harrington Beach, "the beach no longer exists as the lake has washed it away. Pet beach is just really slippery rock which is very dangerous," reports Phillip B.

Site-specific amenities: Research your specific site before booking. At Long Lake Campground, "Some sites completely adjoining or with very little separating them. This loop would be good for an option if the group sites are unavailable," advises Darren L.

Tree coverage varies: At some campgrounds, disease has affected shade. "They had to cut down most of the trees due to the emerald ash borrer. when the sun is out it gets HOT," warns Geoffrey B. about Harrington Beach.

Tips for camping with families

Beach proximity: Choose sites close to swimming areas for easier access with children. At Harrington Beach State Park Campground, "The lake was a short bike ride from our site, and we enjoyed walking the beach and attached trails," shares Amanda G.

Playground access: Several campgrounds have play areas for children. "There is a large open area and play area for kids to run around walkable from the camping, lots of little paths to explore!" notes Kendra G. about Kohler-Andrae.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Kids enjoy spotting local animals. "Plenty of frogs and turtles to be found," mentions Amanda G. about the pond at Harrington Beach.

Ice cream trips: Plan a special treat during your stay. "If you like ice cream, head to Dundee and visit the Hamburger Haus," suggests Sarah L. who camped at Mauthe Lake.

Tips from RVers

Pull-through site availability: Reserve early for easier access sites. "Site 112 is nice pull through," notes Nancy S. about High Cliff State Park.

Water hookup logistics: Be prepared with proper equipment. At Broughton Marsh Park, "One spigot for every four sites for water so 100 foot hose is required," advises Jill G.

Electric service types: Check what hookups are available before arrival. Many campgrounds near Sheboygan offer 30-amp service, but 50-amp may be limited.

Site selection for larger rigs: Research specific site dimensions. At Long Lake Campground, "We walked some of the other loops and the 700's loop being a bit more wooded with some nice sites being my favorites," recommends Darren L. for finding suitable spots.
