Our family had a great stay in Taylor’s camper! It was clean, well equipped and he was great explaining everything to us when we arrived. We already booked it for next year!

I've rented his rv several times now and will continue to anytime im in the area. Excellent host and very clean and well equipped rv. He makes sure you know how everything works and where it is. He makes setting up and returning the rv is easy and confusion free. If you need an rv definitely look at him first except when I want to rent it of course.

How to get to High Cliff State Park
The park is about 15 miles southeast of Appleton and roughly 25 miles northeast of Oshkosh, with drives of 20 to 35 minutes from either city. From the Milwaukee area it is roughly a 100 mile drive north via US-41 and WI-114, about 1 hour 45 minutes. The main park road climbs the Niagara Escarpment with moderate grades, so RV drivers should take the marked routes slowly and avoid shortcut roads with low clearance. Appleton International Airport (ATW) is the closest airport for fly-and-rent travelers.
