      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Mauthe-Lake Northern Kettle Morraine

      I live very close to this park and camp here often. It is a nice family type campground with a nice swimming beach and playground for children. There is only 1 bath house here and MANY pit toilets that are surprisingly clean and not real stinky. It is part of the Northern Unit of the Kettle Moraine and there are great hiking and biking trails as well as horse trails with a horse camp nearby. Every once in a while you can spot an eagle soaring around dinner time. There are sites very near the lake, but I prefer the ones up the hill. Mosquitos are present in the early summer and the breezes topside keep them at bay.

      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Great Camping in the Middle of Kettle Moraine Forest

      Mauthe Lake Campground is located in the Northern Kettle Moraine Forest in East/Centreal Wisconsin. This is one of my frequent visited campgrounds in the state given all the recreational trails for hiking and bicycling. The campground is clean and spread out. This campground offers some of the cleanest showers I have encountered on my camping trips. The Lake to Lake bike trail connects Long Lake Campground and Mauthe Lake Campground which is abut an 8 mile trip one way. This trail is a mix of paved, dirt, and gravel and travels through different landscape . There is a short hiking trail around Mauthe Lake that you should be able to complete in an hour at a average pace. The Ice Age Trail also runs through the park as part of its 1200 plus miles through the state. Ice cream and restaurants are close by, just follow the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive, which takes you on a scenic rout through the North Kettle and Southern Kettle Moraine Forest. Be prepared for LOUD FROGS when attempting to sleep, if you can sleep through this noise the campground won't let you down.

      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Stopover

      Off Rt 45 in Wisconsin, outside Campbellsport the Kettle Moraine North Campsite was not my favorite of our trip northward.

      Certain aspects

      1. privacy
      2. no frills
      3. quiet

      Competed with

      1. standing water
      2. landscaping
      3. accessibility

      You had definite brush cover to a fault. It felt like they "hacked out" each site from the brush, not much planning or foresite.

      This was primitive no frills camping with standing water between sites( mosquitoes) and limited access to some trails ( no dogs). The pit toilets were clean and there is no running water except at the beach in the changing area restroom.

      A nice visitors center and informative staff.

      Menomonee Park by Waukesha County Parks

      Great county park

      I would say sites are average size for a county park. All sorts are mostly wooded and offer good shade. There are miles of nice hiking trails, a nice beach, pavilions to rent, horse riding trails, archery range and I’m sure I’m missing more. There are pit toilets by the sites but a nice shower house with flush toilets about a 1/4 mile walk away. We have camped there several times and plan on coming back.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Little Gem!

      This campground is situated across from Lake Michigan, with access to trails, sand-ridged beaches and a lighthouse (the lighthouse cannot be toured, but can be admired from the outside).  There is a nice lodge and camp store right on the lake, complete with a quaint restaurant where we got breakfast on the weekend as well as ice cream.

      We stayed on site 13.  Not super secluded from neighboring sites, but it had nice tree cover.  A three minute walk to the beach.  The shower house and flush toilets were a bit of a hike from our campsite, but pit toilets were nearby.

      We camped in late-May and there were no mosquitos and we didn't see any ticks (not to say there weren't any).  The area has some interesting natural features, including some wetland-prone areas with frogs, salamanders, etc.

      All-in-all everyone in our party agreed that we would stay here again.  Happy camping!

      High Cliff State Park Campground

      Close to town but surrounded by nature.

      This is a state run campground that provides plenty of hiking, biking and horse riding trails. There is also access to Lake Winnebago for boating and swimming. The camp sites are all either partially or fully shaded with a good amount of privacy for each site. Plenty or pit toilets are provided and there are also plumbed toilets and showers available on the campground.

      This campground is perfect for a weekend getaway or for those families just starting out. It is close enough to town to be able to run in and get forgotten items. There are plenty of playground equipment for kids to run and climb on. If you are looking for a rustic get away this may not be exactly what you are looking for but it is a great spot to get out of the city for a day or two.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Great Views! So pet friendly!

      Point Beach State Forest sits on the Eastern side of Wisconsin along the 5 miles of shores on lake Michigan.

      This is a wonderful Park. It can be very busy especially during peak times, so be prepared for crowds! The park offers plenty to do from trails to swimming, and obviously camping.

      The park offers two beautiful beaches. One of them being for pets, both of them right on Lake Michigan.

      This park has excellent and typically clean shower and bathroom buildings. It offers 127 campsites with 70 of them offering electricity. All of these campgrounds are in walking distance from Lake Michigan but none offering a view of the lake. This park also offers indoor group and outdoor group camp sites! The park also offers two rustic sites. One being for the Ice Age National Scenic trail and one being a kayak campsite which is only accessible from Lake Michigan. Both of these sites are only about a half a mile south of the forest office! The forest office building is beautiful with plenty on display in the clean restrooms. Firewood is also available at the forest office!

      There are plenty of amenities near the park as it sits right outside the city of Two Rivers and also not too far from the city of Manitowoc. Being close to the city, there's a grocery store not too far from the park as well as gas stations and shops near the downtown.

      Let it be known you do not have to escape the park on weekends for a good meal if you're not in the mood for cooking, this park offers fish fry on Fridays and Saturdays and the food is delicious. It also offers concession stands with snacks and ice cream during the rest of the week.

      Be aware of ticks in this park, especially deer ticks. I have personally had a very bad experience during the early fall. I won't go into detail as it was quite a disgusting experience! Despite that, this is a wonderful Park and think it should be on everyone's list for places to camp

      Mauthe Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit

      Great little state park

      Mauthor Lake is a beautiful state park in Wisconsin. Good for biking, hiking, swimming and fishing. Sites are fairly wooded and private. Most of them seemed to be a decent size. Electric hook-ups, but no water. You can fill up at the dump station but I recommend bringing drinking water. There is a general store just outside the park where you can rent row boats, kayaks and paddle boats. The beach is mostly shallow water great for little ones. Flush toilets and changing area nearby. Small concession stand and playground within eyesight of beach

    Guide to Sheboygan

    Kettle Moraine State Forest's Northern Unit provides specialized equestrian camping opportunities within 25 miles of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The forest sits atop glacial deposits forming kettles, moraines and eskers throughout the landscape. Equestrian camping facilities operate seasonally from early May through late October, with peak usage occurring during summer weekends when trail conditions are optimal.

    What to do

    Trail riding opportunities: Riders access multiple trail networks directly from the horse camping areas. "We stayed here for 4 days in late October. Site 112 is nice pull through. Lovely state park. Hiking trails are short but nice. Lime kiln trail is difficult but so worth it," notes Nancy S. from High Cliff State Park Campground.

    Swimming and fishing: Many nearby camping areas feature water recreation alongside horse facilities. "Nice clean swimming and lots of hiking and biking options," mentions Noreen T. about Mauthe Lake Campground, which offers water access when not on horseback.

    Historical exploration: The region contains significant glacial formations and historical sites worth visiting between rides. "Great place to explore with the fam. Hike the trails to see pieces of Wisconsin history throughout. Some trails on the Ridgeline offer vista views and moderate inclines that add to the adventure," explains Sam F. describing the varied terrain.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: The arrangement of camping areas provides good separation for horses and riders. "The sites are well separated for privacy. Also, the shower house is perfect for an end of the day washing. The lake itself is great for canoeing or kayaking," shares Charles M. from Mauthe Lake.

    Clean facilities: Equestrian campers consistently mention facility maintenance. "The campground is clean and organized well, with each space separated by trees/bush/woods," notes Terry L. about Point Beach State Forest, demonstrating the standard of maintenance throughout the region's campgrounds.

    Versatile terrain: The varied landscape offers different riding experiences. "Mauthe Lake-Kettle Moraine is a joy for campers. Located right on Mauthe Lake the campsites are separated by lush trees and bushes. Make sure to pick the right campsite, though," advises Charles M., highlighting the importance of site selection.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Securing spots at equestrian campgrounds requires advance planning. "I almost hate to give this place 5 stars because I don't want everyone else to find out about it… it's a wonderful campground. The host is so nice, everyone is quiet and kind, the bathrooms are spotlessly clean, reliable Wi-Fi, great water/power hookups," explains Sarah N. from Sundance Farm Campground.

    Water availability: Water access points exist but vary seasonally. "Great spot, lots of trails, and the bathrooms were clean. 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., noting seasonal considerations.

    Seasonal operations: Most equestrian facilities close after the last weekend in October. "November 7th-8th. Site 91. 25-30 degrees. Near cliff above Lake Winnebago. Windy as expected. Beautiful site. Clean primitive toilet," reports Tim H. about late-season conditions when some equestrian amenities may be unavailable.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playgrounds and recreation: Several campgrounds offer family-friendly amenities near horse facilities. "Really cool cliffs to climb/hike. There is also a lime kiln to hike to and see. There are two playgrounds for the kids as well. Beautiful views of Lake Winnebago from high points of the hike," shares Kaylyn C.

    Swimming options: Look for campgrounds with beach access for after-riding activities. "Nice beach/swimming area, bike path, and playground for the kids. Also the most beautiful sunset over the lake and pines in July," recommends Kaylyn C. about family-friendly features at Mauthe Lake.

    Educational opportunities: The region offers natural history learning alongside riding. "We have been to Menomonee park several times. It is one of the kids favorites. The sites are just about all wooded. Not huge but a good size for a country park. The Ranger will come by often with wood to buy," explains Matt N. from Menomonee Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Choose appropriate sites for horse trailers and RVs. "Awesome campground in the north unit of Kettle Moraine. Wonderful trail around the lake and a variety of different campsites. Plenty of space, very rural. Very wisconsin!" states Justin F., noting the spaciousness necessary for equestrian setups.

    Dump station timing: Plan accordingly for departure services. "The dump station gets really backed up at the end of the weekend, so heads up," advises Laura M. about Point Beach State Forest, highlighting infrastructure considerations for RVers with horses.

    Electrical availability: Not all equestrian sites offer electrical hookups. "Campground facilities are clean, 30 amp at the electrical site worked perfectly. Other campers amazingly friendly. Sunset on the lake is ridiculously beautiful!" mentions Elizabeth S., describing available amenities.
