High Cliff State Park Campground

About

High Cliff State Park Campground sits on the shores of Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin's largest inland lake, offering 112 family campsites nestled along the dramatic limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment. The campground includes 32 sites with electric hookups, 80 non-electric sites, and eight group campsites, all available by reservation. A central shower building provides flush toilets and hot showers seasonally from May to mid-October, with vault toilets distributed throughout the campground for year-round use. The campground features a dump station, trash and recycling facilities, water access, and a playground near the shower house. Beyond the campground itself, High Cliff State Park offers exceptional recreational opportunities. The park features a swimming beach with bathhouse, a full-service marina, over 10 miles of hiking trails including routes to the observation tower with panoramic lake views, and a 7.5-mile bike and horse trail. History enthusiasts can explore ancient Native American effigy mounds, a restored 19th-century lime kiln, and the striking 12-foot statue of Winnebago Chief Red Bird overlooking the lake. Lake Winnebago provides excellent fishing for walleye, white bass, perch, and panfish. The campground operates from April through mid-October with on-site campground hosts, and the park itself is open year-round from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
