FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (and Answers)

Where is Tilleda, Wisconsin?

Tilleda is approximately 20 minutes West of Shawano off Highway 29. The campground is located on County D at mile marker 209 on HWY 29.

How many camping units and people can I have at a site?

Rates for individual and group camping are based on a total of one camping unit, 5 people (2 adults and 3 children), 1 pet, and one vehicle per site. Parking is limited, so please let us know if you have additional needs such as a boat. Additional vehicles are $10 per day, and all visitors must register at the store.

Per Wisconsin Legislature ATCP 79.11(5)a “Each campsite is limited to 6 campers or an individual family.”

Do you have water and electric sites?

Yes! All of our campsites have water and electric hookups. Some of our sites also offer 50-amp electric service. When booking online, you can see which sites have 50-amp service when selecting your site through the Book Now button.

Do you have sewer hook-up sites?

No, we do not have any sewer hook-ups. We do have an on site dump station free to use for all those camping with us.

Do you allow Class A motorhomes?

At this time, we do not accommodate Class A motorhomes. After careful consideration of our campground layout, site sizes, trees, and road configuration, we have decided that our campground is not the best fit for larger Class A motorhomes.

We want to make sure our guests have a comfortable experience and that the equipment they bring is a good fit for our sites and campground layout. We appreciate your understanding and encourage Class A motorhome owners to choose a campground that is better suited to larger motorcoaches.

Do you allow tent camping?

No, we do not allow tent camping at our campground. Due to the historic nature of our property, many of our underground utilities are located close to the surface, making it unsafe to accommodate tent stakes. In addition, current state lodging requirements mandate that campsites without bathroom facilities must be located within 400 feet of a restroom, which significantly limits where tents could be placed.

Because of these factors, we are unable to offer tent camping. However, we do have affordable sleeping cabins available that provide a simple and comfortable alternative.

Why is there a $10 fee to Pick a Site?

If you have a specific campsite you would like to stay on, you can choose your exact site for a $10 site-selection fee. This allows you to select the location that works best for you based on your preferences and availability. If you don’t have a specific site in mind, you can choose to have our reservation system automatically assign an available site within the category you selected at no additional charge.

The $10 fee is simply for the convenience of guaranteeing the specific campsite you choose. If you are flexible about your site location, letting the system select your site is a great way to avoid the additional fee.

Do you have showers?

Yes! Our campground showers operate on a $0.50 timer for 5½ minutes.

Because our campground operates on holding tanks, the timer helps us conserve water and prevent our tanks from becoming overloaded. The small fee simply helps encourage reasonable shower times and prevents water from being left running unnecessarily.

Do you allow more than 1 dog on each site?

Additional pets are welcome. A fee of $10 applies for each extra pet beyond the first, per stay. Max of 4 per site. This does not apply to our rental units as they have different guidelines.

Can I let my dog in the pond?

Dogs are not allowed on or near the beach area. If you are on a waterfront site your dog can enjoy the water from your site (on a leash).

Do you allow boats on the pond?

Per DNR rules, you can use an electric trolling motor on the north side of the bridge. You can use smaller boats (i.e. canoes, kayaks, paddleboats) on the south side of the bridge which is the same side the campground is located.

Do you sell wood?

Yes! Visit the camp store for all your campfire needs. We sell bundles, wheelbarrows, fire starters and even S’more supplies!

Do you have WIFI available?

WIFI is very limited and is only accessible (at times) near the camp store. Due to our location the service is not always the greatest.

Where is the nearest grocery store?

Check out our camp store as we do carry a small supply of items but if we do not have what you need, there are stores in both Shawano and Wittenberg.

Does Tilleda Falls Campground have a laundromat?

No, we do not.  The closest laundromat is in Wittenberg which is approximately 15-minutes west of the campground.

If I do not want to cook where can we get food?

Our Camp Store is open on weekends and offers a variety of food options, including locally made pizza, chicken wings, chicken strips, cheese curds, onion rings, French fries, and breakfast sandwiches. And, of course, we have 8 flavors of hand-scooped ICE CREAM! 🍦

If you’re camping with us during the week, our Camp Store is not staffed throughout the day. However, if you need ice, ice cream, or something else from the store, just give us a call between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM and we’ll be happy to help!

Do you sell bait?

Yes! We sell Canadian Crawlers and Red Trout Worms.  We also have many other fishing supplies available in the camp store.

Where do we go when severe weather hits?

Guest safety is very important to us. However, due to the historic nature of our buildings, we do not have a designated storm shelter or structure that can be considered a safe house during severe weather events.

In the event of severe weather, we recommend that guests monitor local weather alerts and plan accordingly. If conditions warrant seeking shelter, guests should use their best judgment and consider relocating to a nearby public facility or designated storm shelter in the surrounding area.

Do you offer tubing?

We do not offer a tubing rental or shuttle service at Tilleda Falls Campground. However, many of our campers enjoy a self-guided tubing trip on the  river.

The most popular route begins at the campground and ends at Trinko Park on County Road D. From there, it’s less than a one-mile walk back to the campground.

Campers must provide their own tubes and are responsible for their own transportation and safety. River conditions vary throughout the season depending on rainfall and water levels, so tubing may not always be suitable. 

Please note that tubing is an independent activity and is not operated, supervised, or maintained by Tilleda Falls Campground.

Do you allow access to the river and pond for fishing for non-campers?

Access through our campground property to fish is reserved for registered campers staying in RV sites or cabins.
