April 25th - 27th - CLEAN-UP WEEKEND - Welcome to our clean-up weekend. We offer a two for one weekend - pay $20.00 for Friday night and stay free on Saturday night plus receive a coupon for $20.00 to be used towards another camping stay of two nights or more sometime during the 2008 season. Saturday will be clean-up day at Waupaca Camping Park, LLC. Please bring your own rakes and, if you want, your leaf blowers. Saturday evening (between 5:00 & 6:00pm) there will be a pot luck supper. We ask all of you to please bring a homemade dish to pass, or relishes, salads, breads, desserts, etc. Meat and buns will be provided. We had a great turnout last year and with many hands to do the work the campground gets a good raking and looks great for the season ahead. Hope to see you this weekend.
