Swimming, fishing, and wildlife viewing draw campers to Mukwonago Park, a Waukesha County property that sits atop a terminal moraine roughly 100 feet above the Mukwonago River valley. The elevated terrain gives the campground an open feel, and sites are distributed across both level ground and the hillside below. Access can be rough in spots, so drivers with low-clearance vehicles should take note.
The campsites themselves are large and well spaced, which keeps the campground from feeling crowded even on busier weekends. Pit toilets serve the camping area, but flush toilets, running water, and showers are available near the park entrance in the picnic area. Rangers drive through regularly and will deliver firewood to your site on request. Wildlife sightings are common. Sandhill Cranes have been spotted walking through camp in the early morning hours.
The park includes a spring-fed swimming pond with a sandy beach, fishing access, hiking trails, an archery range, and volleyball courts. Abbe W. notes "great landscape and wildlife," and the range of on-site activities supports a multi-day stay without leaving the property. Electric hookups were added in recent years, making the campground a workable option for RVs as well as tents. Campers interested in campgrounds near Mukwonago will find additional options in the surrounding area, including Sheltering Oaks Campground a few miles south.
The season runs April through early November. Weekends fill up, so reservations are worth making in advance, particularly for summer visits.
Description
Mukwonago Park is nestled in the southwest quarter of Waukesha County approximately three miles west of the Village of Mukwonago.
This 355-acre park site includes a high ridge formed during the last glacial period which stretches nearly the length of the park. Park visitors of all ages will be delighted to discover the park’s commanding view of the rolling terrain and farmlands typical of southeastern Wisconsin.

While strolling through the oak savanna ridge, you may spot a red-tailed hawk or turkey vulture, a known species to this park’s habitat.
