Hartman Creek State Park - Cooking breakfast over the firepit

Hartman Creek State Park

(7 reviews)

Enjoyed a three day weekend of camping at Hartman Creek and loved every minute of it…read more We stayed in site 12, which was perfect. It felt secluded with enough trees and undergrowth that we couldn't see our neighbors. There are pit toilets located throughout the park as well as plumbed toilets and showers in a central location. I exclusively used the plumbed toilets and found I never had to wait for one, which was nice. There is a camp store where we were able to pick up some memorabilia and they have a self-serve wood shed where you can purchase bundles of wood and bags of ice. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring, both of which we made use of during our stay. The park itself has lakes, creeks, and over 10 miles of trails. We stuck to campground walks on our most recent trip but have been there previously for day trips where we enjoyed a lovely walks. The campground is beautifully wooded (both deciduous and tamaracks) which is our favorite sort of camping atmosphere. The campground hosts were welcoming and spot on to ensure that all sites are clean and ready for their next guests. Everyone who worked there ensured our stay was as lovely as possible. Get to it!

So you feel like getting away this summer? You want to go camping, horseback riding, boating and…read morecanoeing? Have gas prices got you down and you don't want to travel too far from home? How about crowds? Does the thought of trying to get away and having to deal with big crowds frustrating to you? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls alike, I have the answer for you. Tons and tons of outdoor fun can be found right here at Hartman Creek State Park and the surrounding areas. It is not that far of a drive from the Chicago Area (about a 4.5 hour drive). If you go up here in the middle of the summer of course there are going to be a good number of people here. Fortunately it is not going to be as crowded as a Devil's Lake or Starved Rock, which automatically give it an A plus rating in my grade book!

Bear Lake Resort

Bear Lake Resort

I came here for the first time with my extended family last weekend and have really mixed feelings…read moreabout our stay. The good: staff was friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive. Our campsite was nice and we had a nice view of Bear Lake. The main restrooms were cleaned constantly throughout the day and were well stocked. There's a nice big playground in the middle of the campground that my niece just loved. There were a lot of families there and I get the sense that this could be a place where people just love to come; it certainly seemed that way based off how many people had seasonal sites super decked out. The cons: The sites are all identified with their numbers, but I think they could be a little more clear. Both myself and my in-laws accidently set up in the wrong sites because of the way that we were instructed to drive in; the identification markers were after where our site was. So we had to be one spot over from where we were, but we actually both accidently set up in the sites just after where we should have been. It really wasn't a big deal and clearly it was our own fault, but it could have been more clear. We were excited to maybe play on the mini-golf course, but there was a lot of debris on the greens and the grass all around it really needed to be cut. The decorations around the grounds too look like they could use some TLC. We checked out the (tiny, super tiny) sandy beach area and thought it could have been cleaned up a bit. We went down right away one morning and found garbage on the ground & random dirty beach towels where towels don't belong. Later in the afternoon when we went back down there to see what was going on we saw the same pieces of garbage and towels in the same spots. We thought surely by then someone from the staff would have come cleaned it up. We were looking forward to getting in the water and possibly renting some of the water equipment they had at the campground (which would have been so nice), but we heard from several people there was swimmers itch in the water. What a letdown! Not the campgrounds fault at all, but our experience was less than what it could have been. I think this place has potential to be really fantastic, just needs a little more TLC.

Overcrowded, TINY sites. No dogs allowed on outside patio of restaurant. "Dog beach" is nothing…read morebut Swampy weeds and muck.

Waupaca Camping Park - A wild boar  going for an evening stroll

Waupaca Camping Park

Their name changed to S'more Fun Campground. I like this place because of the cabins they have to…read morerent. It's not really my camp style to be packed into the woods on top of eachother. Being an earshot away of any conversation your neighbors might have. I like my privacy. The cabins have all the luxurious of home minis running water. There is an AC unit, small fridge and even a microwave. A perfect way to throw some clothes and a some pillows into the car and go. This campground like many is geared toward families. There is a nice pool, games and climby things for all the littles. I was disappointed to learn that they planned to have a movie night. Isn't that the point to camp? To get these kids away from screens? I was sad that I had to listen to the booming speakers going through the camp for 2 hours so these kids could watch this movie. It was a complete distraction to the peace and quiet I was looking for. The prices of the cabins are kind of a lot at over $100 per night but they have 1 queen bed and a set of bunks. I would return but would prefer to come during the non peak time.

Very nice camping park with easy access to Waupaca and the Chain 'O Lakes. We had spots 7,9,11,13…read moreright up against Old Taylor Lake. It was clean and spacious with great views of the lake. Some other spots were nowhere near as spacious, so it depends on what you are looking for and what type of camping equipment you are bringing (rv or tent). The clubhouse was very nice and clean, with great shower and bathroom facilities. The electric at our spots were 20 amp, so it caused us a bit of an issue running A/C, fridge and an electric griddle. It is my understanding that some of the sites have 30 amp service, but not ours. Prices were very reasonable.

As far as camping at a campground goes, you can't do better than Pine Grove Campground! There is…read moresomething for everyone here. We brought our two children who were entertained the entire trip. If you have children, there is literally something for ALL of their ages. For teens, there's a game room, shuffleboard, a swing/trampoline/launching blob and a raft in the lake; for children old enough to adventure away from the camp site, there are bikes that are more like large peddle cars, the pool with balls and a basketball hoop, a water slide, a bounce house, mini golf, a bike ramp for regular bicycles, a large playground and games made up each weekend, like scavenger hunts. For the toddler age, the water slide and pool is a great way to spend time away from the camp site with the little guys. The adults are included in the fun too!!! Saturdays has a Tiki bar that have beverages of the adult variety along with sensational grilling food. There were even grilled corn dogs! Different weekends have different events which can include a band or karaoke at the pavilion. The weekend we went had "Christmas in July" with people decorating their sites with lights and all sorts of Christmas lawn decor. There were wagon rides at night. There are golf carts and paddle boards to rent along with games like beach volleyball, badminton and ladder golf. There's so many options for adults with or without children. Between the things to do and the GREAT upkeep of all of grounds and facilities, this is the place to camp!

Stopped here for a night and jyst loved it. 100% family friendly! They have a very clean pool and a…read moreshallow wading pool for the younger kids. They have a couple of inflatables for the kids to play in, mini golf and pedal bikes all for a small daily fee. Lots of shady trees to cover the RV sites. There is also a small, privately owned lake with a beach and a fishing pond that we did not see. If we drive through here again, we will stay longer to see everything.

Tilleda Falls Campground - The river after the falls at the dam

Tilleda Falls Campground

(10 reviews)

I think this is Tilleda Falls' first yelp review! I was here…read moreLabor Day weekend for my first time and 2nd time ever camping. It's a small campground along a small lake that leads into a creek. Nice peaceful scenery. The camp sites are divided into areas for tents, RVs/Fifth wheels, and cabins. Our site located in the back had enough room for two tents and a place to park our car. I liked how our site was clean with a decent amount of trees blocking our neighbors and there was a nearby port-a-potty to use instead of walking across the campgrounds. The standard picnic table and fire pit came with the camp site, but there wasn't a grate to go over the fire pit to grill food. After 10pm and throughout the night, the place was pretty quiet. You can buy wood for $5 per pack from the main office, but we bought a bunch of wood for a really good deal from a farm less than a mile away. There were only four shower stalls (two per gender) available for the entire campgrounds. It was 25 cents for about 3-5 minutes of warm water (I wasn't counting). The owners were friendly and welcoming. During the holiday weekend they had family activities/games to participate in, which makes Tilleda Falls more appropriate for families. They have a bunch of amenities that makes this place worth the trip from Chicago. Their website is really helpful in planning your trip. They even have free wifi on site for those who can't live without cyberspace...like facebook....or yelp.com =] Summary: I'd come back again.
