GuideThis was our second stay. Stayed on site 70 both times. We had a 35’ trailer last year and 42’ fifth wheel this year. The ferry ride was easy to navigate and when we arrived we were able to just drive right on. Even with our 13’2” clearance they easily accommodated us. Campground check in was easy and smooth, owners were friendly and gave us tips for navigating into our site with a big rig. Overall it’s very quiet and relaxing on the island with plenty of nature things to do. Visit School House Beach (don’t take the rocks!), the lavender farm and for a few extra bucks have seafood at Sailors Pub on the water. We will definitely put this campground in our regular rotation of places to camp.
GuideReally nice sites and you can see the water from most of them. Some sites were muddy but I think it was mostly from how busy it was over Labor Day. Facilities are clean and the camp hosts are so sweet (they have matching vests and serve coffee every morning). Really nice recreational activities (basketball, tetherball, horse shoes) and a trail leading to the picnic shelter and sandy swimming beach.
TravelerRight on the shores of Lake Michigan Most sites have asphalt pads and there is water and electric at the site There is also a dump station on the way in, which was clean and easy to access The sites are fairly close with not much privacy This side of the lake is very Mari so there is no beachfront at all, for people with a boat and wanting to launch it’s perfect but for rock hounds and beach walkers like me not so great. Not much hiking around either.
LegendWe hiked into site 7 and were delighted by the trees covered in moss. The site had a food safe and pit toilet. It rained the whole time, but we loved it and want to return.
LegendOne could camp right on the beach here. The beach is fantastic. There is water available. Cell service is ok. The toilets are repulsive. The sites are overcrowded, thankfully we did not have neighbors. There is traffic noise and a bright light above the toilets means no one will trip on the way to the potty, but you won’t see any stars either.
LegendThis was our first private campground experience and it was marvelous! The sites were private and spacious. The showers were impeccable. There is even a dish washing station. We enjoyed the playground, the game room, lounge and yoga in the morning. The staff are all friendly and friendly helpful.
GuideClean bathrooms. Not overly fancy, but lots of sites and the two families that run this resort are super nice and accommodating. We felt welcomed like family and had multiple interactions with them. Within a minute of Lake Michigan.
ScoutIt's an ok campground bathrooms are clean host is little rude but all in all ok place
ScoutNice clean friendly place quite and peaceful place

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best campgrounds near Menominee, MI?
J.W. Wells State Park Campground offers beautiful grass sites with Lake Michigan views. Many sites are right along the bay, making it an excellent waterfront camping option. River Park Campground is conveniently located within Menominee itself, situated on the river near the city boat launch. The park features paved roads and sites, mature trees providing shade, and good fishing areas within and just outside the park. For those willing to venture a bit further, the Peshtigo area offers additional camping opportunities with scenic water views and recreational activities.
When is the best season to go camping in Menominee, MI?
The best season for camping in Menominee is summer (June through August) when temperatures are warm and ideal for enjoying Kleinke Park Campground, where you can experience brilliant sunrises over Lake Michigan and relax on the beach. Late spring (May) and early fall (September) offer fewer crowds while still providing comfortable camping conditions. Fall brings beautiful color changes to the area, though temperatures begin to drop, especially at night. Peshtigo River Campground is particularly popular in summer for water activities like tubing. Winter camping is possible but requires proper cold-weather gear as the Upper Peninsula experiences significant snowfall and freezing temperatures.
Is there free tent camping available in Menominee, MI?
Free tent camping is limited in the immediate Menominee area. Most established campgrounds charge fees, including Wagon Trail Campground, which offers wooded sites with privacy but requires payment. For those seeking budget options, Kleinke Park Campground has a simple payment system where you select your site and put payment in an envelope, offering good value for lakeside camping. For free dispersed camping, you'll likely need to venture further into the Ottawa National Forest or Hiawatha National Forest areas, which allow free camping in designated areas away from developed recreation sites, though these options are typically 1-2 hours from Menominee.
What amenities are available at Menominee campgrounds?
River Park Campground provides paved roads and sites, fishing areas, and proximity to a city boat launch ($3 fee). The campground is conveniently located near town amenities. Newport State Park Campground offers a more rustic experience with beautiful trails by the water and through woods, perfect for backcountry camping enthusiasts. Many campgrounds in the region feature basic amenities like water access, toilet facilities, and fire rings. Some locations offer additional facilities such as shower stalls, camp stores, and recreational areas. Amenities vary significantly between campgrounds, with state parks typically providing more developed facilities than smaller municipal or private campgrounds.
