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 that can accommodate groups as large as 50 people, a few places for an RV could be set up at, and several cabins. 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.

Sauk Campsite

Cool, nostalgic summer camp vibe!

We had a blast closing out summer on Labor Day weekend! Our site (Sauk) was near the entrance but still plenty private and quiet. It had its own double outhouse, fire pit, picnic tables, and plenty of room to spread out. It even included a perfect spot for a hammock. The swim beach area was lovely, the water was great, and we were able to take out a canoe (life jackets were on hand). Our little dogs loved being out on the boat and chilling in front of the fire. What a fantastic bargain! Vintage, rustic, and beautiful. We fell asleep to the sounds of whippoorwill, loons, owls, and coyotes. Thank you Ian and everyone at Camp Shin-Go-Beek!

Lower Bluff

Fun, Relaxing Stay

Really nice roomy site with a short, wooded trail to the beach. Host was responsive and helpful and also let us do our own thing during our stay.

Pioneer campsite

Fell short

Pioneer site was a lot bigger than I expected with an extra large fire pit. Kids loved it! Our group was able set up 7 tents with more than enough room to set up additional tents if needed. Lots of ant hills, the entire ground was covered in them. The ants didn’t bother us or the food the entire time we were there. The roadway ran right next to Pioneer site so we did see a few cars drive by and helped a lost camper find their group’s site. There weren’t very visible signs within the campground to point you in the right direction. I may have had my expectations set a little higher thinking this is a youth camp with staff. Staff could’ve ran a broom through the outhouse to remove all the cobwebs & wasp nest, so the kids won’t be screaming about all the spiders. A few members of our group did go use the showers and said showers looked about as nice as the outhouse. Unfortunately, when I first inquired about booking the site for a group of 40, I waited a week and didn’t get a response. I had to reach out to Hipcamp support to see if the campground was still in operation. I don’t know if Hipcamp reached out to host or host decided to respond but eventually did get a response. And when I did have a question, it felt like I was pulling teeth every time I sent a message. Although campground is advertised as being able to accommodate groups as large as 50. Host seemed leery of having a group of 40, which I found odd. Our group ended up with 16 people. Didn’t meet host or staff.

Lower Bluff

Great stay!

LOVED our site, Lower Bluff. It was spacious and shady with quick access to the beach. Absolutely the best site! We contacted Ian as soon as we arrived and he quickly provided the details needed to get to the site, as well as information about showers and bathrooms. He encouraged us to text if we had any other questions. The morning we left camp, we also had a visit from John, who is involved with the camp, to make sure everything was ok. I think we stayed during the quiet season (late August) and maintenance staff wasn’t around 24/7. The showers and bathrooms in the Admin building were not left in good condition by previous campers, and our pit toilets were also left in need of a good cleaning. We will absolutely stay again!

Pioneer campsite

Relaxing and Private Campground

We had a great time camping at the Pioneer site. Our favorite aspect of this site is the private location, the large open space in the center, and the lake. At the lake, we were able to take advantage of the beach to ourselves.
