Kalbus' Country Harbor Campground

Oshkosh is just 15 minutes' drive north of the RV campground, with tons of great restaurants, a wealth of attractions, and some of the best shopping in central Wisconsin. While you wouldn’t expect there to be a lot of culture in a smaller Midwestern city like Oshkosh, there are several museums, art galleries, and a historic theater where you can catch a play. Dining options range from the conventional pizza and burgers to more haute cuisine if you’re up for it. Travelers searching for good deals on clothes and home goods should check out the city’s outlet mall, where several major brands sell their wares for a fraction of the retail price. Oshkosh is also home to the world’s largest aviation event, the EAA Airventure, which brings together hundreds of thousands of flying enthusiasts and over 10,000 planes. It takes place in late July, but if you’re RV camping at another time, you could always take a trip to the EAA Aviation Museum, which houses a few hundred aircraft inside its hangers and outside at Wittman Regional Airport including Space Ship One - the world’s first private spacecraft. For a more conventional museum experience, stop by the Oshkosh Public Museum, which sits inside a stately mansion on the eastern bank of the Fox River. Exhibits range from Native American history to stained glass fixtures to turn-of-the-century sports. Most focus on local arts and history, so this is a great first stop if you want to learn more about Oshkosh. Can’t get enough of the museum? There are even more exhibits across the street at the Paine Museum, also housed inside an opulent house.
