Hononegah is FPWC’s oldest preserve and one of its most popular. Purchased in 1924, the preserve is located on the north bank of the Rock River and bisected by Dry Run Creek. The preserve was once a camping area of Stephen Mack, the county’s first European settler, and Hononegah, his Native American wife. Upon entering the preserve, visitors will enjoy the drive over the Rainbow Bridge and up into the cool maple grove. The campground has campsites interspersed in a mature stand of white oaks and hickories. A launch for fishing boat access to the Rock River is available.
Hononegah’s majestic woods make it a popular spot to enjoy fall color displays and woodland wildflowers in spring.
There will be limited sites available with electric at Hononegah Campground for the 2021 season. No reservations available at this time.
Campsites at Hononegah Campground are on a first-come first-served basis (please register with the campground host or in the absence of a host, please use the self-registration station).

Love this park!
The mosquitos were bad this year, but they're bad down by the river too, and it is nature after all. 😉
Its the season (visited in Aug), but otherwise, clean toilets, good water, and wonderful hosts! 😎
Good roads in and out. Beautiful drive coming into the park, but some sites are a little close to the outer road, so if you want seclusion, be careful while picking your site.
One of the best small parks in the area!!!
Update: need to fix the lights in the vault toilets, and need to have a hand sanitizer station at EVERY one of them. Thank you.
I visited park to stop and have my tacos while enjoying outdoor.
I love this park with very deep green oaks,hickory trees and lot of wild life.
I walked around campground and found only one camper and host there.
Interesting, sites do gave electricity and water. It is boat launch in the park.
You should come here and your how beautiful here!
Beautiful surroundings! Great for getting away from it all and kicking back to relax! One of my regular places!
A great little campground, the host was a pleasure as well. Kayaking and fishing off the river. Wild turkeys were right off the campsite, which gave for some pretty wild noises all night. Tent camping $13 resident $23 non resident of Winnebago county. This is a per tent fee from my understanding not per campsite. $7 firewood bundle about 12 pieces. Hike trail (path rather) was a great little scenic walk.
