RV campgrounds near Cleveland, Wisconsin offer camping experiences across northern Manitowoc County and surrounding areas, with elevations around 700-800 feet above sea level in the region. The area experiences four distinct seasons with humid summers reaching average highs in the 80s and winter lows frequently below freezing. Most campgrounds in this area remain open from April or May through mid-October due to Wisconsin's northern climate.
What to do
Lakeside recreation: Kohler-Andrae State Park provides beach access on Lake Michigan with swimming areas and dune exploration. "Gorgeous place to camp! everything was beautiful, this park has it all... spacious campsites, sand dunes, trails, beach, gorgeous sunsets!" notes Kendra G. at Kohler-Andrae State Park.
Hiking opportunities: Multiple trails wind through Kettle Moraine State Forest's northern unit at Mauthe Lake, accommodating different skill levels. "Located right on Mauthe Lake the campsites are separated by lush trees and bushes. The lake itself is great for canoeing or kayaking," reports Charles M. about Mauthe Lake Campground.
Indoor amenities: When weather turns unfavorable, some RV parks offer indoor facilities. Village Inn on the Lake in Two Rivers provides an indoor saltwater pool. "The indoor pool is so nice! It's a saltwater pool and they have a separate hot tub. It was not crowded the time we went," states Amber C.
What campers like
Proximity to water: Several campers mention appreciating direct lake access. "Right next to the lake! Indoor Saltwater Pool and Hot Tub! About 2 Miles from Neshotah Beach!" writes Megan B. about Village Inn on the Lake.
Quiet environments: Campgrounds away from highways offer peaceful settings. "Very pretty and peaceful campgrounds. WiFi very spotty. Water, sewer and electricity setups. Close to amenities. Get site 1 if possible," says theresa H. about Stop-N-Dock Marina & RV Park.
Clean facilities: Multiple reviewers highlight well-maintained shower buildings and restrooms. "Campground facilities are clean, 30 amp at the electrical site worked perfectly. Other campers amazingly friendly. Sunset on the lake is ridiculously beautiful!" notes Elizabeth S. at Mauthe Lake.
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Many RV parks in the area close during winter months. Omro RV Park allows stays up to two weeks with electric hookups but limited amenities. "Is $15 per night. Dump station and water available, But not at your site. Quiet, clean, well kept. no open fires. Is all pull through sites, They will fit any length rig, 80' long," explains Doug S. about Omro RV Park.
Site privacy varies: Campgrounds differ significantly in spacing between sites. Plymouth Rock Camping Resort features more open sites while forest campgrounds provide better separation. "Mauthe Lake-Kettle Moraine is a joy for campers. The sites are well separated for privacy," notes Charles M.
Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during summer weekends. Kewaunee RV & Campground requires advance booking during peak season from May through October. "The sites are a little small but the hospitality of the owners/hosts ensure that we'll be back," Jennifer G. comments.
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Select campgrounds with multiple recreation facilities for children. "The amenities are pretty great, and the campground is decent, but the noise is annoying early in the morning and throughout the day. They have an outdoor movie, and lots of other activities," notes Jimmy P. about Plymouth Rock Camping Resort.
Swimming access: Campgrounds with swimming areas provide valuable entertainment for children. "Nice beach/swimming area, bike path, and playground for the kids. Also the most beautiful sunset over the lake and pines in July," shares Kaylyn C. about Mauthe Lake.
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby highways or attractions. "It is really close to a racetrack. The race track is very close by and the noise from the cars can be pretty loud but not a deal breaker," comments Lauren P. about Plymouth Rock.
Tips from RVers
Hookup availability: Full hookup sites vary across RV parks. "This site is beautifully maintained with swimming pool, volley ball, game area, large park like setting to walk your dogs. Variety of options for camping including cabins, laundry room, country store," explains Susan M. about Kewaunee RV & Campground.
Site spacing: Many RVers comment on tight spacing at certain campgrounds. "Nice activities for the kids to participate in but campsites are small. It was nice to be able to rent a golf cart because the park is large and the activities are spread about," reports Sarah G. about Plymouth Rock.
Accessibility factors: Some campgrounds require navigating narrow roads or challenging terrain. "The park is mostly seasonal and the short term sites are literally over a mile of tight, windy road to get to them. Once there the sites are ok," warns angie G.
