Many campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from early May through mid-October, though some like Point Beach State Forest and High Cliff State Park remain open year-round. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for summer weekends and holiday periods when facilities reach capacity. The region experiences cold winters with significant snowfall, making off-season camping challenging without proper equipment. Most developed campgrounds provide electric hookups, drinking water, and shower facilities, but amenities vary by location. "This is a beautiful campground. There are LOTS of full-timers here, but for the most part, their setups are nice, if not elaborate!" noted one camper about Rainbow's End Campground.

Water features represent a significant draw for campers in the region. Devils River Campground includes a swimming pond and river access that visitors frequently mention in reviews. Several campgrounds are situated near Lake Michigan, with Kewaunee RV & Campground and Village Inn on the Lake offering proximity to beaches and shoreline. Visitors note that while sites at some facilities can be close together, many appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere and activities. As one visitor explained about Devils River, "The central pond and waterfall were awesome! As far as amenities - the bathrooms/showers were very clean and well kept." Campgrounds with recreational amenities like swimming areas, fishing ponds, and playgrounds tend to receive higher ratings from families staying in the area.

    Brown County Reforestation Campground

    Road to Mackinac

    Only spent 1 night but this is a beautiful campground. LOTS of birds (that's our thing!), forested, so many trails for hiking and mountain biking. Bathrooms and showers were clean, site was spacious. Hookups are available but we chose dry camping.

    North Bay Shore Park

    Beautiful

    Right 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.

    Big Lake Campground

    Great Family and Dog friendly RV resort

    Clean 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.

    Scheffel's Hideaway Campground

    Rude Owner

    My wife and I were looking for a nice campground in this area so we could visit family and my cousin mentioned Scheffel's. I did not read all of the reviews but instead balanced out bad reviews with good ones. Unfortunately, the bad were not exagerrating. Reservation process was ok though not automated. Reserved in January and female owner stated they dont man the phones much while closed. Ok, she seemed nice. Little reaponse from them on followup emails. We checked in on a Thursday. Husband owner guided us to our site and advised us to be aware of crown. Husband was very pleasant. No issues there. Friday morning my wife and I, both seniors, were walking our dogs. We were walking across the playground, dogs had not done anything yet, when the female owner came charging out of her office screaming at us that we cannot walk the dogs there. She stated there were signs. The one sign on the side we entered was fully obscured by a short tree. We started moving in the direction she pointed and my wife said we always pick up after our dogs. She yelled again. She must have stated 3 times she was the owner. I quietly muttered"wow" as I was amazed at her rudeness. She turned and yelled again and I explained we were moving as directed. She started heading back to the office when my wife stated"God Bless You". She was not being sarcastic. We take our faith seriously. The lady turned around and told us to pack up and leave. No reconciling, no working it out. If we were not out by noon she was calling the police. She refused to give us a refund for the 8 days remaining. She has not returned phone messages or emails. We were 800 miles from home and at the beginning of our family visit, I was born in the area. We were very fortunate to find a suitable campground. I have never in my life ever been treated as rudely by someone in the"hospitality" industry. Sorry for the long review. Dont discount the negative on this one.

    Daisy Field Campground — Potawatomi State Park

    Great State Park Campground Near Town

    Overall this camp was a great experience. There are nice trails that run by the water. The sites were nice with fire ring, table and bench. The sites were near one another but vegetation between to give some barrier. The mosquitoes were pretty heavy in late July. There was one shower house that seemed to be pretty busy most of the time. There was also a child's playground with lots of space. Overall it was a great place to visit and check out the area.

    Kewaunee RV & Campground

    5-Star Rating Awesome Campground

    This site is beautifully maintained with swimming pool, volley ball, game area, large park like setting to walk your dogs. Owners are the best. Variety of options for camping including cabins, laundry room, country store. Kewaunee is delightful with a lighthouse, stores and eateries. Minutes to Lake Michigan and Door County few miles away and 35 minutes into Green Bay. Will return.
