Campgrounds near King, Wisconsin
King sits on the Waupaca Chain O' Lakes in central Wisconsin's Waupaca County, within the towns of Farmington and Dayton. The area is defined by the Chain O' Lakes, a series of 22 interconnected lakes popular with paddlers and boaters. The community is also known as the home of the Wisconsin Veterans Home, and it functions as a small lakeside hub with easy access to boat landings, outfitters, and quiet county roads.
RV travelers use King as a base for lake recreation and for exploring nearby Hartman Creek State Park, roughly 10 miles west. Hartman Creek is a quiet, natural park on the Chain O' Lakes and a popular destination in central Wisconsin. Waupaca, about five minutes east, provides groceries, fuel, and casual restaurants.
Campground options nearby range from full-service private parks to a large state park campground. Deerhaven Campground, Royal Oaks Legendary Lodging Campground, Rustic Woods Campgrounds, and Fountain Lake RV Park Inc serve travelers looking for hookups and family amenities, while Hartman Creek State Park offers a more rustic, wooded stay closer to trails and beach.
Things to do near King
Water is the main draw. The Chain O' Lakes is structured so that some lakes allow high-speed boating while others are slow, no-wake lakes. Rainbow, Round, Long, and Columbia are the larger lakes suited to water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing, while the Upper Chain is a group of smaller, quieter lakes better reached by kayak or canoe. Narrated sternwheeler and launch cruises on the Chief Waupaca and Lady of the Lakes depart from Clear Water Harbor, just past King on County Road QQ.
On land, Hartman Creek State Park anchors the outdoor options. Recreational features include 12 miles of off-road biking trails, 10 miles of hiking trails with a section of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, 7 miles of bridle trails, a 300-foot sand beach, and campsites in an old apple orchard. Anglers can expect largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, northern pike, and trout.

The primary camping window in central Wisconsin runs from mid-spring through late fall. Hartman Creek State Park is open seasonally April through November, with reservations available and a two-night minimum in effect from mid-May through October. Private parks near King generally follow a similar season, opening around ice-out in April and closing by late October or early November when water lines are winterized.
Summer is peak season on the Chain O' Lakes. Weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day book quickly, and boat traffic on the fast lakes is heaviest in July and August. Fall brings cooler nights, thinning crowds, and hardwood color through the apple-orchard and pine-forest sites at Hartman Creek. Bug pressure eases after Labor Day.
Winter camping is limited but not impossible. Some campsites at Hartman Creek are open all winter on a first-come basis, though showers and the dump station are seasonal only. Most private RV parks in the area shut down entirely between November and April.

How to book
Reservations at Hartman Creek State Park go through the Wisconsin State Parks system. Sites can be booked up to 11 months ahead by calling (888) 947-2757 or online through the Wisconsin State Parks reservation portal. Popular summer weekends can fill the day the 11-month window opens, so book early for July and August lakeside sites.
A Wisconsin State Park System vehicle admission sticker is required on all motor vehicles stopping in state parks, forests, recreation areas, trails, and campgrounds. Stickers can be purchased online or at individual properties via drive-up windows, electronic sales kiosks, self-registration stations, or telephone.
Private campgrounds near King, including Deerhaven Campground, Royal Oaks Legendary Lodging Campground, Rustic Woods Campgrounds, and Fountain Lake RV Park Inc, are booked directly with each property. Call ahead about big-rig length and slide-out clearance, since many wooded sites in this area are narrow.
What to expect on-site
Sites in the King area are typically wooded and shaded. Campsites at Hartman Creek sit in either red pine forest or an old apple orchard and hardwood mix, and the family campground has two shower and flush toilet buildings. Pads are gravel, with a 14-day maximum stay.
Campsites vary in size and configuration, and some are narrow or overgrown, making it challenging to park larger vehicles. Most trailheads and picnic areas have paved parking roomy enough for RVs and vehicles towing trailers or boats. Private parks in the area tend to offer more consistent pull-throughs and full hookups.
Use caution driving in the area: white-tailed deer often dart out at dawn and dusk, and roads inside the campground are winding and narrow, so watch for children playing. Cell coverage is generally usable but can be spotty in the wooded interior.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near King, WI
How much does it cost to rent an RV in King, WI?
RV rental in King, WI is surprisingly affordable, with most travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night and Class C motorhomes ranging from $175 to $275 per night through RVezy. Because King sits right on the Chain O' Lakes near Waupaca, weekend rates from late June through Labor Day book up fastest and run highest. To find a cheap RV rental King WI travelers love, aim for weekday pickups, book a 5-to-7 night trip to unlock weekly discounts hosts often offer, and look at travel trailers if a host can deliver and set it up for you. Pro tip: shoulder-season trips in mid-May or September deliver the same gorgeous lake views at noticeably lower nightly rates.
travelwisconsin.com/city/waupacaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in King, Wisconsin?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in King, Wisconsin, no commercial driver's license (CDL) or special endorsement required for any Class A, Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, travel trailer, or fifth wheel you'll find on RVezy. You'll just need to be 25 or older and complete a quick ID verification through the RVezy platform when you book. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home country driver's license along with an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto club. Most first-time renters are amazed how simple it is, you could be browsing listings tonight and on the Chain O' Lakes by the weekend.
wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/dr-lic.aspxIs my RV rental in King, WI covered if something happens during the trip?
Yes. Every RVezy booking in King, WI includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can explore the Chain O' Lakes with real peace of mind. During checkout you choose from multiple protection levels (Basic, Standard, or Premium), each with different deductibles and coverage limits for collision and damage to the RV. Protection is built into your booking total and is separate from the refundable security deposit your host may require. Pro tip: review the protection levels before you finalize payment so you can match coverage to how far and how adventurously you plan to drive your King WI RV rental.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my King, WI RV rental?
Booking an RV rental in King, WI is low-risk because RVezy applies a standard, platform-wide cancellation policy to every reservation, not a host-defined one. You get a short grace period right after booking for a full refund, and after that your refund amount depends on how close to your trip start date you cancel. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds you in full or offers travel credit so you can rebook. You can review the full policy anytime in the RVezy Help Center. Pro tip: book early to secure the best motorhome rental King WI options, then use the grace period to confirm dates and travel plans.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a King, WI RV rental?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental King WI options are easy to find on RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see motorhomes and travel trailers whose hosts welcome your dog. Once you're here, Hartman Creek State Park just minutes from King has leashed-pet-friendly trails and a designated pet swim area on Allen Lake, and the Ice Age National Scenic Trail segments through Waupaca County are perfect for stretching paws. Most Chain O' Lakes campgrounds also welcome leashed pets at sites. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and to share your dog's size, it speeds approval and helps them prep the RV.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/hartmancreekCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in King, WI?
Yes, RV delivery in King, WI is one of the most popular options on RVezy and a great choice if it is your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will tow a travel trailer or fifth wheel directly to Hartman Creek State Park, Chain O' Lakes campgrounds, or a private address in Waupaca, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. You just arrive with groceries and a swimsuit. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts offering this service near King. Pro tip: confirm the delivery fee and round-trip distance with the host upfront so you can compare total prices accurately.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsHow far can I drive on my King, WI RV rental?
You've got plenty of range for a fantastic King WI RV trip. Hosts set their own mileage policies, with many offering 100 to 150 free miles per night and some advertising RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect if you're planning a bigger loop. From King, you're about 35 miles to Green Bay, 95 miles to Door County's Sturgeon Bay, 110 miles to Wisconsin Dells, 150 miles to Milwaukee, and around 180 miles to the Apostle Islands gateway at Bayfield. Each listing shows the included mileage and per-mile overage rate clearly before you book. Pro tip: map your full route first, then filter listings by mileage policy to match your plans without surprise fees.
travelwisconsin.com/article/road-tripsWhere are the best campgrounds near King, WI?
You're spoiled for choice with great RV camping King WI options within 20 minutes. Hartman Creek State Park (just west of King) has 103 family campsites, electric hookups, swimming on Hartman Lake, and access to the Ice Age Trail. Bear Lake Campground in Waupaca offers full hookup sites right on a quiet lake. Chain O' Lakes Campground has waterfront sites and rentals on the famous 22-lake chain. Rustic Woods Campground near Iola features wooded full-hookup sites about 15 minutes north. Pro tip: Hartman Creek reservations open 11 months in advance through Wisconsin State Parks, and summer weekends sell out fast, so set a reminder.
dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/hartmancreekWhen is the best time of year to plan an RV trip to King, WI?
Late May through early October is the sweet spot for RV camping in King, WI. June through August typically brings warm days with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit, perfect for swimming and tubing the Chain O' Lakes. September is a local favorite: smaller crowds, highs in the 60s and 70s, and Waupaca County hardwoods turning red and gold by late month. Wisconsin winters are cold with regular snow and lows often well below freezing, so most hosts pause rentals from November through April. Pro tip: book a late-September trip to catch peak fall color along the Ice Age Trail with cool, campfire-perfect evenings.
weather.gov/grb/I have never driven an RV before, will I be okay around King, WI?
You will do great, and King is one of the friendliest places in Wisconsin for first time renting an RV. Roads around Waupaca County are flat to gently rolling with light traffic, especially Highways 22, 54, and 10, and most campground access roads are wide and well marked. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, water, propane, and the dump valves, and you can message them anytime during your trip. If driving a larger rig worries you, choose a host who offers delivery and setup so you never have to drive the RV yourself. Pro tip: do a 10-minute parking-lot practice loop before heading to your campsite to build instant confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my King, WI trip?
You are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 10, a dead battery at Hartman Creek, or a generator issue at the Chain O' Lakes is a quick phone call away from help. You also have your host's direct contact for fast troubleshooting (often it is something simple like a tripped breaker), and RVezy support is reachable through the platform. Roadside services such as towing, lockout, tire change, and fuel delivery are included. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number in your phone before pickup and screenshot your booking details in case cell service dips on rural Waupaca County back roads.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat are the best RV road trips from King, WI?
An RV road trip from King opens up some of the Midwest's most scenic country. Drive about 95 miles east to Door County for cherry orchards, lighthouses, and Peninsula State Park. Head roughly 110 miles southwest to Wisconsin Dells for waterparks and the Wisconsin River. Point about 230 miles north to Bayfield and the Apostle Islands for sea caves and Lake Superior sunsets. Or loop around 150 miles south to Milwaukee for lakefront breweries and the Harley-Davidson Museum. Travel within the US is straightforward on your RVezy rental, while trips into Canada require host approval and Mexico travel is not permitted. Pro tip: a 7-day Door County and Apostle Islands loop from King is a classic Wisconsin bucket-list route.
travelwisconsin.com/article/road-trips/best-of-wisconsin-road-tripHow much should I budget for fuel on my King, WI RV trip?
Fuel is one of the easier parts of budgeting a King WI RV trip. Travel trailers don't burn fuel themselves, so your truck (or the host's tow vehicle if delivered) does the work at around 10 to 14 miles per gallon. Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 mpg and Class A around 7 to 10 mpg. Wisconsin gas prices typically run near the national average, and stations are plentiful along Highways 10, 22, and 54. For a 300-mile weekend loop in a Class C, expect roughly $90 to $130 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Waupaca or New London before heading to remote spots like the Northwoods, where prices climb 20 to 40 cents per gallon.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near King, WI?
Book early and you will have your pick of the best sites. Wisconsin State Parks like Hartman Creek open reservations 11 months in advance through the Wisconsin DNR reservation system, and prime summer weekends (especially July 4th and Labor Day) often book the moment that window opens. Private campgrounds on the Chain O' Lakes typically take reservations 6 to 12 months out for peak season. For a more spontaneous trip, target Sunday through Thursday arrivals, which often have openings even in July. Pro tip: book your RVezy rental first, then your campsite, so you know the exact rig length and hookup needs before you reserve.
