"We enjoy camping at S’more Fun and kayaking on the lake. The owners are very personable. There are no golf carts to watch out for."
"The lake water has being rising and the beach is almost swallowed up which is lame because it used to be sooo nice! The water is still swimmable and it’s great for kayaking."
"Did some fall camping with friends, and there were 4 family’s. 3 of them stayed in these three sites which were fairly wide open and kind of looked over the lake."
"My favorite time was during "family camp" setting up our camper and swimming at the lake every day."
"It has become my home away from home. The fellow campers and owners have become family. During the peak season there are always activities for both kids and adults alike. "
"We have participated with our fellow campers to rally around all those that love this campground as much as we do."

LegendWoodsy camping, multiple hiking altitude options including cliff views of Lake Winnebago, historic burial mounds, preserved lime kilns, equine trails, picnicking area, boating opportunities and a beach for swimming. Spend a day or a week! You’ll never find yourself asking what to do. I grew up in the area and have been here many, many times. To camp, to hike for the day, to trudge into the campground during winter to have a day-fire, coordinate family reunions, train with a backpack on the lime-kiln trail and swimming with the dog. Really, it’s all here. Mostly not super busy and when the traffic is heavier, everyone is very nice. Picnic areas can get buggy as can the lake get green, all depends on the time of year and season. Family and pet friendly. Great spot near the Fox Valley.
TravelerStayed for the first time at this campground in July and loved it. We stayed on a tent site, it was huge and had electric. I love that the campground is right on the lake and there’s quite a few amenities for people who boat. It is pet friendly and the bathrooms are quite a walk but clean and hot water is available.

GuideThe sites on the lake are huge! They are perfect for going with groups of people (Cook on one, set up Games on the other, and you can easily fit two cars out of sight a tent everything… ) however the sites do not have any privacy - the only wooded part is shoreline.
I have a very nice check in/camp store it’s brand new. The main shower house bathrooms are very clean very nice except you have to pay for the shower. Rest of the restaurants throughout this campground our pets toilets.

ScoutI’ve been going here since I was a kid. Waupaca offers so many beautiful lakes to explore and Hartman has some beautiful trails to hike on! It does get busy in the summer, but fall or during the week is a perfect time to go!
LegendNo matter what your skill level you can find a trail here from easy to challenging to hike or bike. There is a beach, a marina, Lake Winnebago, horse trails, hiking, biking and pet beach and picnic area. The park is very clean and pretty. There is a playground, several vault toilet areas spread around and a shower house. Some sites have electric and there is a dump station and water fill up.
Both AT &T and Verizon provided good service and the ability to stream. Spaces are large and have many trees for shade and privacy.
ScoutThis is our go to place every spring, summer or fall! We like to travel all over the place and try different place but this is always a must to go to as well as last minute let's go camping spot. The owners are so friendly as well as everyone that camps there. They have a nice pond for swimming and a playground right by it for the kids. Pets are allowed which is great!
GuideThe deep spots offer gorgeous private, well wooded area that makes you feel like you’re all alone in the woods. Fire rings and tables are there as well as bathrooms showers, a dump station and fresh water. We enjoyed the fall colors and privacy for a long stop on our trip across the northern border. You forget that you are situated right next to the small community of Waupun Wisconsin and you’re just a stones throw from amenities to restock any supplies or enjoy a day in town strolling the charming Main Street and enjoying the many gorgeous bronze statues.
