Before you pull the RV up and start looking for a place to pitch the kids tent, I should let you know the camping area is long gone over 40 years gone. If youre reading this, chances are youve been on the Waupaca Chain o'Lakes and heard someone mention the Camp or maybe you've driven by the entrance sign.
Camp Cleghorn is an association of 41 cottage owners located on the south-east corner of Columbia lake. The camp was founded in 1897 as a summer camp with the mission of educating Campers on the virtues of temperance and persuading them to forswear demon rum and all other alcoholic beverages.
Of course if you want people to listen to you, it helps to offer something nice in return or so Im told by the time-share sales guys. And whats nicer or more picturesque than staying on the Chain oLakes, which back in the 1800s was known as the Killarneys of America.
