Back in the 1800s the land conditions were ideal for a raspberry farm. The original settler's barn and farmhouse were still standing in 1960 when our family obtained the land. Since then, old buildings have diminished back to Earth. What used to be a small creek is now a small pond and trout stream. We have a cabin, outhouse, outdoor shower and other camping accommodations depending on the camping experience you are looking for! Reconnect with nature, find your tranquility, enjoy the wildlife, be amazed by the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There's swimming, or just relaxing here!

Camp Shin-Go-Beek is a youth summer camp located in central Wisconsin. When we're not running summer camp, we open the property up to Hipcampers. We have multiple large campsites for tent camping. The property is located on 2 quiet lakes, with great opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating. The swimming area has a great beach and a diving raft (depending on the season). We also have a large dining hall for indoor activities, and several outdoor program areas. We are just south of the Chain-o-lakes and Waupaca, so there's plenty to do a short drive away.

Everything you need in one remote place! It was so easy to camp at Lower Bluff. Our family enjoyed the privacy and spaciousness of the site and the convenience of the well maintained watercraft’s both days at the beach.

It’s our 3rd year at this camp but our first at Sauk Campsite! Everything was as perfect as all previous years. We love the extra space Sauk Camp had to offer. The beach is a little further than at lower bluff but still a walking distance. Site was clean and had everything we needed! This is a great spot for family fun and for pets! Will definitely be booking for next year!

If you enjoy self- contained, primitive camping this is the ticket. A serene environment with numerous walking trails. Add on swimming, the campfire and the stars for good measure.

Great site a short walk from the lake. Very private site that fit our four tents with room to spare. Nice to having water and a pit toilet at the site as well. A little confusing driving to the site for unloading. Other than a whip-poor-will bird keeping us up half the night it was ideal. Would definitely go back!

The Lower Bluff site was excellent! Clean out houses, water on site, and a clear, maintained trail down to the lake - coupled with a wide swath of abundant wildlife - made for a very memorable trip. The camp director, Ian, was also very helpful and responsive to any inquiries. I'd give the site and experience a 10/10.

The Village Inn hosts were some of the best hosts I've had at any place I've stayed... very welcoming and willing to help make our stay as great as possible, very generous and friendly. The location is great, right on the lake and the indoor pool and spa were great to have. Would 100% recommend to anyone.
