Good for overnight or day use

Always enjoy this park, plenty of hiking and biking opportunities. Easy for kids to navigate as a group. Have enjoyed many visits to this park with no issues. Close to towns if something has been forgotten,

Escarpment

Grew up near here and used to backpack across Lake Winnebago to winter camp and hike in January when the park was empty and no mosquitos to chew on my butt.

Indian Burial Mounds, old kilns, trails, hills, observation deck, sledding in winter, and lots of other things to do all year round.

This Park is actually on an escarpment that winds around Lake Michigan all the way to Niagara Falls. Limestone cliffs for climbing on, scenic.

in the summer the lake gets green with algae and there is a summer stretch wherever the lake flies hatch and get thick.

Good park for families. Close to small towns for resupply. Appleton & Green Bay are within striking distance as is Lake Michigan.

Bring arctic survival gear in January...subzero temps with wind chills in the negative teens is normal. Fantastic cross country skiing/snowshoeing.

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.

one of my favorite am Wisconsin campgrounds

Nice campground near Oshkosh, WI. My favorite thing about this park and campground is the hiking. Part of the Niagra escarpment there are plenty of cliffs and fun views along the trails.

The camping itself is nice shaded and price for the most part. Great for group camping and plenty to see during the day.

Lot's to do here!

We stayed here Sept of 2016 for aweek. We had a wonderful time, there is so much to do here you don't need to leave the park. The sites are good sized and clean. Bathrooms were clean and well taken care of, staff friendly and helpful.

SiteCan't remember but I didn't see a bad site in there

Historic Trails

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. There's plenty to do from fishing to hiking mountain biking lookout towers and parks .

Great Views!

It was a bit chilly to enjoy the lake unfortunately, but the hiking is amazing. There are great rock outcrops for bouldering and exploring. All over just beautiful. Definitely one of my favorites in Wisconsin!!

Lots of hiking with spectaular views

High Cliff is a quiet campground on the shores of Lake Winnebago. Located in Sherwood WI there are a few things to check out within the area. There are a couple golf courses, some ice cream shops, and some bars/grills/restaurants. Appleton is only about 20 minutes away with plenty to do as well. The park itself has lots of hiking trails that highlight the cliffs, and the beautiful lake views. There is a small beach for swimming, and plenty of shore to fish from. There is also a marina/boat launch in the park. Lots of open areas for picnics, or outdoor games. Some trails are maintained for horseback riding also. Overall its a great campground that is well maintained and is just beautiful.

Quick decision

This Campground is close to family that lives up in Appleton. Upon arrival we chose say 93 on the inner circle do to all reserved apples were taken and we had choices of walk-ins. This site had several rocks several spiders big wide open and can see the neighbors however it was a quick easy setup for a nighttime arrival.

quick decisions

This is always a nice campsite for us on our way up to family that lives in Appleton we always choose to Camp instead of stay in a hotel. This particular time we chose site 93 due to all reservable Sites were taken and all we have left to choose from at 9:45 at night where walk-ins. Although the site was rocky wide open I could see my neighbors and full of spiders it was actually a decent place to easily set up in the dark and grab a quick night's sleep.

great place to spend a few nights

Such a nice spot to spend a couple nights :) One of the big perks of this park is it's close proximity to the Fox Valley, so dinner out or a show would be possible if you didn't feel like 'roughing it' for your whole trip. The park has some fabulous hiking trails and old ruins of kilns. Views are beautiful overlooking Lake Winnebago. The camping sites are in a nice wooded area and decently spaced out. Good amenities.

On the Lake

Great place to camp if you want to be on the water, be it fishing, paddling or power boating. Nice trails and a cool little museum is a nice surprise.

Great for fall camping, not great for swimming

The sites are nice and spacious, private and fully shaded. The views of the lake are awesome and the trails are really nice.

The lake is ill suited for swimming because there is a lot of flooding in the area and there is algae and debris (tree branches and other bio-debris) in the water. Perfect for fall camping.
