"...this is an adventure..."

Quiet escape on the shores of Lake Michigan

Just outside of Milwaukee, Harrington Beach State Park is a quiet and quick escape to the good life. The huge sandy beach spans the entire length of the park - which features plenty of trails, a quarry, and a historical element. The campsites are clean, well-groomed and set apart from the rest of the park. A private, water accessible "walk-in" site is also available for those passing through on kayaks.

Hidden gem in the heart of Lake Country

Nestled in the heart of lake country (Waukesha County) and accessible from the Lake Country Trail and Ice Age Trail, this county park is perfect for those just passing through or families looking for a quick and easy weekend camping adventure. 20 family campsites available to choose from ranging from full cover to full sun. 5 Group sites available also. Campsites reservations are available online - but a walk-up paystation is also available and a few campsites are always reserved for walk-in/bike-in campers. Camping is seasonal - April 1st through November 4th. Various bathroom options - ranging from pit toilets to port-o-potties. Showers available at the Beach House. The beach on the shores of Lake Nagawicka is well-groomed, clean, has a seasonal lifeguard and a playground within earshot. The campground is part of a larger county park that has covered picnic areas, winding trails, a boat-ramp, and much more to do in the area - from hiking to boating to golfing.. $5 daily entry fee for cars. This country park rivals many state parks. Worth checking out.
