Twelve Foot Falls County Park accommodates pet owners with spacious wooded campsites where dogs can stay without breed restrictions. Both the upper and lower camping sections welcome pets, requiring them to be leashed and supervised at all times. Morgan Park, Tranquil Vista Campground, and Governor Thompson State Park similarly permit dogs throughout their facilities, including tent and RV sites. The sites at Twelve Foot Falls provide enough natural foliage between campers to give added privacy that many pet owners appreciate. Modern, clean vault toilets in the upper section serve campers with pets, while fire rings and picnic tables come standard at each site. Water is available from a pump located near site 1 in the upper camping area.
Trails connecting directly to several campsites at Twelve Foot Falls provide convenient walking routes for dogs and their owners. The pathway along the river to the waterfall offers excellent pet exercise opportunities where many campers take their dogs for morning and evening walks. Marinette County's multiple waterfall locations create additional pet exploration options beyond the immediate campground. At Morgan Park, the hiking trails around the bluffs and access to Timms Lake make for excellent dog-friendly activities, with a swim area where some pets can cool off during summer months. Wildlife encounters are common in these areas, including deer, turtles, wild turkeys, and various birds, so keeping dogs leashed protects both local animals and pets. During peak seasons, reservations are recommended as these pet-friendly campgrounds fill quickly, especially on holiday weekends.

TravelerYou could drive by and miss this little gem. Beautifully kept up county park with clean shower house. Pet friendly, they even have a hitching post for your pet while visiting the bathrooms. On site hosts.
All sites are within a short walking distance of the beach and some are right on the beach. Site L1 had a good mix of beach and woods. Near the beach is a small playground for the kids.

Large open field. 27 pull-through RV sites are equipped to handle the biggest RV’s by providing 34′ x 75′ sites. 33 back-in RV sites. 10 walk in tent sites. Pets welcome - $5/day pet fee. New restrooms & showers. No cell service, but very good free WiFi service. Clean campsites, well maintained. No privacy between sites. Gravel driveways. Picnic table. Fire ring. Convenience store & gas station on site - Dovetail Trading Company & Citgo gas station. Registration in store. Accepts reservations. Campground was still open on Oct 23, 2021, even though it's season ended on Oct 18. This is a good campground for RVs. I camped here when I couldn't find another campground that had available sites. I thought it was overpriced for camping in my camper van with no hookups needed, but it was okay in a pinch.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay very much. Pretty campground, extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice neighbors all around. The shower area could use some updating, but was fairly clean. It is a dog friendly place and for the most part they were well behaved pets. We planned on staying four nights and are staying six instead. Taking advantage of the last nice days of the season. I would highly recommend trying this park.
ScoutLeave the loud pets and noisey illegal moterbikeos ah home no nature here
GuidePark is located in the Peshtigo River state forest. Pet friendly!! Your pets are aloud on trails and with you at your campsite. They must be on a 6 ft leash. The park is beautiful. What surprised me the most was the pit toliets that looked like tiny houses. Pictures are attached. There is a small lake which is great for kayak and swimming. This park also has a boat launch onto the Cauldron Falls Reservoir. I've attached photos of the map. Almost all the campsites are private and hidden away in their own little spots. There are a few hiking trails which i enjoyed spending time on. If you go down the street a bit you will find Old Veterans state park which has a secluded quiet lake and beach. I spent an afternoon at the beach and never saw a soul. There is not a camp store. The only thing you can buy at the park is firewood.
ScoutMy family and I have been coming here for years!!!!! The campground is big and beautiful! Every campsite has a picnic table and fire pit; the Yurts and cabins have chairs. The Yurts, cabins, and bathrooms are clean! The staff is friendly! It is pet friendly. It is located near the water and has many trails to hike! Love this place, especially in October with the leaves changing and the festivals around town!!!!!
ScoutThis place was so much fun! The back tent areas are great, great walking trails, right on the water, the staff is so friendly and do daily checks to check if you need fire wood or anything. They also have fun seasonal events that the host for the campers. Definitely check this place out! So many memories there. They also have a playground for the kids, pet friendly, and allow atv/utv.
RangerWe were in Site# 14. We had electric/water with a paved pull-through. We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
The site was easy to level but the wheels of our motor home were off of the ground.
Check-in is at the hotel. The RV park is not visible from the hotel (it’s back in the woods). There is a phone at the shower house that can be used to request a free shuttle to the casino.
Our site was not shaded with limited trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.
The lot comes with a picnic table and fire ring.
There was not any WiFi (we used our Starlink). They do not offer Cable TV.
There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.
They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.
They do have an indoor Swimming pool at the hotel with a sauna and steam shower.
There is not a Playground. There are not any additional play areas like Bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball sport court, horseshoe, or volleyball courts.
They have a general store in the parking lot of the casino where you can also get gas.
There are restaurants on site in the hotel as well as a spa. The closest big town with stores is Escanaba (about 20 minutes away).
This is solely an RV park. They do not have any cabins to rent or any tent areas.
They have one shower house. The shower house has individual showers (toilets & sinks are on opposite side of shower house).
The laundry facility is located at the BP gas station (located in the parking lot of the casino/hotel). It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.
They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs.
Bugs did not seem to be an issue.
Some fun things to do outside of the campground are to visit the Sandy Point Lighthouse or Ludington Park in Escanaba.
The casino is smoke-free. It states that the tables are open from 10am to 2am. Not all tables are available though (for instance, roulette wasn’t always available and if they did open up the one roulette table, it wasn’t until 6 or 7pm). The slot machine options are abundant.
LegendNorth and South Nicolet Bay campgrounds is where the action is. It felt like spring break out at the beach and boat ramp (no pets allowed on beach).
North Nicolet has no power sites, all are no hookups. There is a dump station and water fill near Tennison Bay campground.
Campground is very close to the beach, and you definitely hear the shrieking children from the beach, especially if you get a site close to the beach like we did, so heads up.
There’s a host on site, flush toilets, and showers. Recycling and garbage here as well as a playground.

ATV/UTV trail access: Direct connections from some campsites to trail networks. McKenna R. from Tranquil~Vista Campground mentions they "allow atv/utv" and have "great walking trails, right on the water."

Clean facilities: Modern washrooms stand out in reviews. Greg H. at Morgan Park appreciates the "fantastic facilities, bathrooms and free showers were very clean and in great condition." Twin Bridge County Park receives similar praise: "Clean toilets. Friendly staff... and a whole wheelbarrow of firewood for 10 bucks."

Tick awareness: Spring/early summer brings heavy tick populations. At Old Veterans Lake County Park, visitors should take precautions as nearby Governor Thompson experiences "a crazy amount of ticks in May" according to Jill G., who "sprayed the entire site with Apple cider vinegar to try to keep the ticks off the dogs."

Water access locations: Spigot positions vary between campgrounds. PJ F. mentions at Governor Thompson State Park: "You will need a Wisconsin park's admission sticker. The drive is still a 2.2 mile trek beyond the check in building."
