Located in Manitowoc County, on the western shores of Lake Michigan, Point Beach State Forest is 2,900 acres of rolling dunes and mixed woodlands. Established in 1937, the forest is home to Point Beach Ridges State Natural Area and National Natural Landmark. This area of alternating ridges and swales reveals the lake’s ancient shorelines over the last 8,000 years, with unique and varied woods representing each of the lake’s historic levels. Also located within the park, the Rawley Point Lighthouse is a one-of-a-kind structure that was erected in 1893, and is still operational today. The area is also known for several historic shipwrecks that occurred in the waters nearby.
The campground at Point Beach is the perfect location for exploring many of these natural and historical features—or just kicking back on the lakeshore and soaking up the sun. The campground offers more than 120 wooded sites that can accommodate both tent and RV campers. About 70 sites feature electrical hookups; a few of these also have water. There are two group camps, and one ADA accessible site. Each campsite is equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, and water faucets, flush and vault toilets, and shower facilities can be found throughout the campground. A dump station and recycling center is located nearby. Most campsites can be reserved up to 11 months in advance; some are held for first-come, first-served campers. Dogs are permitted in some areas, and must remain leashed. Seasonal rates are $15–$37/night.
There is plenty to see and do on a visit to Point Beach State Forest. There are several picnic areas located along the lakeshore, all within walking distance from the campground, and a nature center and lodge that offers area info, seasonal interpretive programs, and sells sandwiches and picnic supplies. The forest features 11 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails for exploring the dunes, woods and lakeshore, from a 0.5-mile nature trail to a 7-mile ridge trail. Some trails are also open for winter snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The forest area does not offer a boat launch, but kayaks and SUPs can be launched from the lakeshore. Fishing is permitted in Lake Michigan, and some hunting and trapping is permitted in season. The Rawley Point Lighthouse is not open to the public, but can be seen along the beach.

Very nice and and quite! Bathroom only has cold water but shower house has nice hot water. We are here on a Monday and it made us pay for 2 nights so that’s my biggest complaint but this is a very secluded and clean park so I’d stay here again!
GuideWe stayed in the primitive area which wasn't crowded at all just after labor day. The sites were nice and wooded with lots of privacy. It rained most of the time we were there so we didn't get to explore much. Tried to walk down to the lake from our site, but just got to the top of the cliffs on the lake.
The automated pay system insisted we pay for 2 nights since they considered Thursday to be a weekend night. This is just silly. Thursday is NOT a weekend night.
We only spent one night due to the rain.
Traveler
The campground is clean and organized well, with each space separated by trees/bush/woods. The drinking water is not good so be sure to pack enough. The beaches are very clean and great for walking at different points in the day. Site 28 was a bit small.

Decided to get back into camping and decided to check out this semi local State Park. Alot of great walking and hiking spots, it was a bit chilly in mid April and especially windy down by the lake. Once up by the campground wind died down and was pretty nice. Site 53 was flat, had a fire pit, and picknick table. Despite being the closest site to the main road and entrance, didn't feel like it was too busy or distracting. Campgrounds were quiet and friendly. Will definitely come back once it warms up a little bit.
LegendHuge campground, and I guess we were lucky to snag a site mid week in August, as there were only two sites left when we arrived in the early afternoon.
You get a choice of electric or non electric. We paid $25 for a non-electric site (weekends are higher rate). You also have to pay the Wisconsin state park entry fee at $13/day for non residents, or $38 for an annual pass.
The dump station gets really backed up at the end of the weekend, so heads up.
Also, a portion of the beach is dog friendly, so if that’s important to you then try and get a site close to the dog friendly portion (south of the lighthouse), otherwise it’s a good mile walk from the other end of the campground to the dog area. Leashes required at all times, except for when the dog is actively frolicking in the water.
The concession stand here looks really nice, like a full service restaurant. Showers are nice and free. Water spigots throughout campground, or there’s a water fill at the dump station. There’s a little free library here too:)
Campground will be closed until May 24, 2024 for maintenance on the waterlines.
GuideHigh Cliff State Park is close to Appleton and Green Bay and is situated along the Niagara Escarpment on Lake Winnebago. Camping is great however, even though there is a beach, it is not a very nice one and swimming there isn’t the best. The park is great for hiking and low elevation rock climbing.
GuideThis campground is situated across from Lake Michigan, with access to trails, sand-ridged beaches and a lighthouse (the lighthouse cannot be toured, but can be admired from the outside). There is nice lodge and camp store right on the lake, complete with a quaint restaurant where we got breakfast on the weekend as well as ice cream.
We stayed on site 13. Not super secluded from neighboring sites, but it had nice tree cover. A three minute walk to the beach. The shower house and flush toilets were a bit of a hike from our campsite, but pit toilets were nearby.
We camped in late-May and there were no mosquitos and we didn't see any ticks (not to say there weren't any). The area has some interesting natural features, including some wetland-prone areas with frogs, salamanders, etc.
All-in-all everyone in our party agreed that we would stay here again. Happy camping!
LegendWoodsy camping, multiple hiking altitude options including cliff views of Lake Winnebago, historic burial mounds, preserved lime kilns, equine trails, picnicking area, boating opportunities and a beach for swimming. Spend a day or a week! You’ll never find yourself asking what to do. I grew up in the area and have been here many, many times. To camp, to hike for the day, to trudge into the campground during winter to have a day-fire, coordinate family reunions, train with a backpack on the lime-kiln trail and swimming with the dog. Really, it’s all here. Mostly not super busy and when the traffic is heavier, everyone is very nice. Picnic areas can get buggy as can the lake get green, all depends on the time of year and season. Family and pet friendly. Great spot near the Fox Valley.
TravelerWe rolled in just after Labor Day so things were quiet….lots of space. Beautiful wooded areas, beach access, bike trails, quiet, and abundant toilet facilities and laundry.
ScoutThis was my first time camping in a Wisconsin state park and I thought it was great! Our site backed up to a trail along the cliff which was awesome for a family that loves to hike. I felt for a state park most of the sites were spacious, ours was particularly because we had no site behind us. Shower house was clean. Will be back!
GuideNo bug. Dense forest. Just beautiful.
TravelerGreat trails, easy access to backing into spots and the most beautiful views you’ll ever see
ScoutThe park itself is beautiful, and the trails are nice. The tent sites were on the smaller side and kind of close together. The park ranger was good-natured and patient when we accidentally set up on the wrong site.
Make sure to store your food correctly! The two sites beside us were ransacked by raccoons all night long because they left their supplies out. Three raccoons came to smell around our picnic table as soon as we zipped up inside the tents but left quickly after not finding food.
TravelerHigh Cliff was very easy to navigate and the park employee at the entrance was very kind and helpful. The sites in the 30s at the family campground have the cliff and lake as a nearby background (there is a hike trail that runs along the cliff, so if you are looking for lots of privacy, that might not be the spot for you - there seemed to be more private). The vault toilets were nearby and very well maintained - seemingly clean and not too smelly! All in all - I loved this spot!
GuideAnother spacious Wisconsin State Park site. #2 is level and listed as full shade but we had enough sun to recharge our Jackery everyday. It helps that it was blue skies each day! All sites were rented for the weekend and there were just a few no-shows. Even full there wasn’t enough noise to mention. We were near the entrance and enjoyed watching all the cars and campers coming and going. The shower house was fine, a very short walk for us. The camp host was friendly and quick to clean sites. There’s single stream recycling at the dump station and they take glass! Cell reception was good enough (Visible) There’s much to do in the park and in the area. We hiked, fished, golfed, shopped and ate well from what we find. I recommend the Appleton Farmers’ Market, Dick’s Family Foods in Sherwood Nieman’s Southside Market in Appleton.
RangerWent to the state park with my daughter and son-in-law and their two dogs. The hiking was excellent through many different terrains and the scenery was spectacular. We didn't camp there but went by some of the campsites and they looked very nice when well maintained.
GuideI almost hate to give this place 5 stars because I don’t want everyone else to find out about it… it’s a wonderful campground. The host is so nice, everyone is quiet and kind, the bathrooms are spotlessly clean, reliable Wi-Fi, great water/power hookups, the works. Minutes from downtown Plymouth and Road America.
TravelerWe were tent camping and stayed on a rustic site. Although we were 205 and it was fine, I would choose 212 and that area next time. $22 night for a rustic site; $34 for reserved with hook-ups. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and nice laundry
ScoutWe visited Bay beach in Green Bay and then wanted to spend the night near Green Bay in our 35’ class A. Not making reservations in Wisconsin during the summer is risky but fell upon this beautiful 50% first come county campground that is well kept. Both 50 and 30 amp service with hiking, biking, gardens and more.
GuideWe went to High Cliff over the 4th of July, so it was quite busy.
We booked sites 22 and 23 which are a double site. Pretty good space, we were able to fit 4 tents and a sleeping hammock. There is overflow parking directly across from the site. There is a main hiking trail behind the sites, but right beyond that are some nice rock formations. A short walk down that path is to a nice look out, especially for sunset.
The beach was very busy, but it was a holiday weekend. There is a large grassy area above the beach with grills and picnic tables. The water at the beach was very mucky when we were there.
The marina was nice. We didn’t have a problem parking. The water was very choppy, so we didn’t stay out long.
There are some nice trails. We saw a lot of families with bikes. The park is also very close to a town with a grocery store (Dicks Family Foods) if you need to stock up. We had a fish fry in town which was delicious!
LegendNo matter what your skill level you can find a trail here from easy to challenging to hike or bike. There is a beach, a marina, Lake Winnebago, horse trails, hiking, biking and pet beach and picnic area. The park is very clean and pretty. There is a playground, several vault toilet areas spread around and a shower house. Some sites have electric and there is a dump station and water fill up.
Both AT &T and Verizon provided good service and the ability to stream. Spaces are large and have many trees for shade and privacy.
GuideHigh cliff is a nice place . lots of hiking trails to choose from and a big lake . Beautiful views. Camp ground had nice wooded spots and vary dog friendly.
ScoutGreat clean camping. Very nice walking trails. They have a dog swimming area. Though swimming is not great after June/July when the algae gets bad. Great place overall!
TravelerDecent sized park. Nice hiking trails. Raccoons can be a pest and beg for food!
TravelerReally cool cliffs to climb/ hike. There is also a lime kiln to hike to and see. There are two playgrounds for the kids as well. Beautiful views of Lake Winnebago from high points of the hike
RangerI took my family and my brother’s family for a weekend of camping the weekend of October 23, 24 and 25. Apparently there is an annual trick or treating activity that takes place with the RVs in the campground. It was an unexpected surprise that my kids loved.
The sites themselves were gorgeous because of the fall foliage. They were a bit close to the RV sites which were all alight with Halloween decorations. And there were people partying for most of the night, it was a little loud until about 1 AM.
The hiking was so much fun. The Lime Kiln Ruins were a sight to see for the kids and the path was full of fantastic cliffs for the kids. For me, too.
I have to admit that the weather was cold and overcast. I camped with one child under 10 and she had a hard time with the cold weather at night. The nighttime temps dropped under 30 degrees both nights, it got cold!!! She was a champ, tho.
We had a great time and will visit again.
GuideStayed here for 4 days in late October. Site 112 is nice pull through. Lovely state park. Hiking trails are short but nice. Lime kiln trail is difficult but so worth it.
