Kayaking the Rock River, playing disc golf, and walking the on-site trails are the main draws at Harnischfeger County Park in Ixonia, Wisconsin. The park also has a nine-hole mini golf course that runs $1 per person. Sites are small in number, with lettered sites reserved for tents (no water or electric) and numbered sites providing water and 30-amp electric hookups. A dump station, showers, and WiFi round out the amenities list. Among campgrounds near Ixonia, this county-run park stands out for its activity variety at a compact scale. FallFest on the last weekend of September books up roughly a year ahead, so plan accordingly if that weekend is on your radar.
