    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Devils River Campground allows pets throughout its water and electric hookup sites near Maribel, Wisconsin. Several pet-friendly campgrounds surround Denmark, including Mapleview Campground, High Cliff State Park, and Bay Shore Park, all offering accommodations for campers with dogs. Most campgrounds in this area feature spacious sites with picnic tables and fire rings where pets can join their owners. Devil's River provides access to the river where dogs can cool off during summer months, while the nearby Maribel Caves park offers additional exploration opportunities for leashed pets. Campground bathrooms and shower facilities remain clean and well-maintained, though one reviewer noted mosquitoes, flies, and bees can be problematic during certain times of year, so pet owners should pack appropriate repellent.

    The surrounding area provides multiple outdoor recreation options suitable for dogs. Point Beach State Forest, about 30 minutes from Denmark, permits pets in designated camping areas with proper vaccination records. Trails throughout these campgrounds range from easy walking paths to more challenging hiking routes where leashed dogs are welcome. Apple Creek Campground features a well-stocked fishing pond and swimming pool, though pet owners should note that dogs must remain on leash in common areas. Most campgrounds enforce standard pet policies requiring current vaccinations, proper waste cleanup, and keeping pets attended at all times. During summer weekends, campsites fill quickly with seasonal visitors, so advance reservations are recommended for those traveling with pets.

      Kohler-Andrae State Park

      Great camp with awesome lake access

      The interior sites are a little cramped and may not accommodate larger RVs; however, the access to Lake Michigan more than makes up for it. There is a really cool dog park on the beach. While not something I typically look for in a review, the dump sites are new and excellent.

      Tranquil Timbers

      NOT PET FRIENDLY

      Tranquil Timbers advertises pet friendly but they ARE NOT pet friendly. If your dog makes any kind of noise whatsoever, they are NOT welcome. Motorcycles and noisy kids however, park approved!

      Kohler-Andrae State Park

      Kohler-Andre

      Living rather close to this park, this is our "go-to" place to camp. It has a great variety of activities available. There is a beach AND a dog beach so it's pet-friendly. Dogs are not allowed on all of the trails, but there are many you can take them on. Being on the water, you can swim, kayak, fish, or just soak up some rays! There are also non-reservable sites available. There are many electric sites, clean bath houses, friendly campground hosts, some rather private sites as well. It's a short walk from the campsites to the lake. Our favorite site is next to the woods where we have seen ample deer, turkey, foxes, and birds. Close to town if you need supplies, firewood and ice is available in the park.

      High Cliff State Park Campground

      A Gem!

      Woodsy 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.

      Shawano County Park

      First stay at this campground and would definitely go back

      Stayed for the first time at this campground in July and loved it. We stayed on a tent site, it was huge and had electric. I love that the campground is right on the lake and there’s quite a few amenities for people who boat. It is pet friendly and the bathrooms are quite a walk but clean and hot water is available.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Great Views! So pet friendly!

      Point Beach State Forest sits on the Eastern side of Wisconsin along the 5 miles of shores on lake Michigan.

      This is a wonderful Park. It can be very busy especially during peak times, so be prepared for crowds! The park offers plenty to do from trails to swimming, and obviously camping.

      The park offers two beautiful beaches. One of them being for pets, both of them right on Lake Michigan.

      This park has excellent and typically clean shower and bathroom buildings. It offers 127 campsites with 70 of them offering electricity. All of these campgrounds are in walking distance from Lake Michigan but none offering a view of the lake. This park also offers indoor group and outdoor group camp sites! The park also offers two rustic sites. One being for the Ice Age National Scenic trail and one being a kayak campsite which is only accessible from Lake Michigan. Both of these sites are only about a half a mile south of the forest office! The forest office building is beautiful with plenty on display in the clean restrooms. Firewood is also available at the forest office!

      There are plenty of amenities near the park as it sits right outside the city of Two Rivers and also not too far from the city of Manitowoc. Being close to the city, there's a grocery store not too far from the park as well as gas stations and shops near the downtown.

      Let it be known you do not have to escape the park on weekends for a good meal if you're not in the mood for cooking, this park offers fish fry on Fridays and Saturdays and the food is delicious. It also offers concession stands with snacks and ice cream during the rest of the week.

      Be aware of ticks in this park, especially deer ticks. I have personally had a very bad experience during the early fall. I won't go into detail as it was quite a disgusting experience! Despite that, this is a wonderful Park and think it should be on everyone's list for places to camp

      Calumet County Park

      Great for groups

      The sites on the lake are huge! They are perfect for going with groups of people (Cook on one, set up Games on the other, and you can easily fit two cars out of sight a tent everything… ) however the sites do not have any privacy - the only wooded part is shoreline.

      I have a very nice check in/camp store it’s brand new. The main shower house bathrooms are very clean very nice except you have to pay for the shower. Rest of the restaurants throughout this campground our pets toilets.

      This is not the best campground I’ve been to but it’s definitely not the worst in fact I go every year with a A group with small kids.

      High Cliff State Park Campground

      So much to do for everyone

      No 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.


    Guide to Denmark

    Devils River Campground offers water and electric hookup sites near Maribel, Wisconsin, about 10 miles west of Denmark. Located in Manitowoc County, the area features the Niagara Escarpment, a significant geological formation creating limestone cliffs and unique habitats. Winter temperatures typically drop below freezing from December through March, with summer highs averaging in the mid-70s. Most campgrounds in the region stay open from May through October.

    What to do

    Hike the local cave systems: At Devils River Campground, visitors can explore the nearby Maribel Caves. "There is access to the river and the nearby Maribel Caves park is nice as well. This is a great campground to just relax at and play cards," notes reviewer Jimmy P.

    Swim in treated ponds: Devils River Campground features a swimming pond for hot days. "They removed the old small pool and installed a large swimming pond. It is a treated pond, so it is murky water, but the open space is nice for a swim on a hot day," writes Jimmy P.

    Visit Lake Michigan beaches: Point Beach State Forest offers beautiful shoreline about 30 minutes east of Denmark. "The beaches are very clean and great for walking at different points in the day," states Terry L. The forest includes a lighthouse and hiking trails.

    Play mini golf: Village Inn on the Lake provides family entertainment options. "Cute Mini Golf Onsite! Location is great! About 2 Miles from Neshotah Beach!" reports Megan B., highlighting recreational options beyond standard camping activities.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: High Cliff State Park Campground maintains well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities. "The sites are large and clean. Bathrooms were clean and well taken care of, staff friendly and helpful," writes Karyn S.

    Historical features: High Cliff offers unique historical sites to explore. "The park has some fabulous hiking trails and old ruins of kilns. Views are beautiful overlooking Lake Winnebago," notes Sara S., highlighting the educational aspects of the park.

    Waterfront views: Bay Shore Park provides scenic lake vistas. "The scenery and Bay were very nice," writes Nikki & Mike. Many campsites offer water views or quick access to shoreline areas.

    Spacious sites: Bay Shore Park features generous camping areas. "The tent sites are a great size and semi private (you can have a conversation and not be heard at other sites)," says Jennifer S., noting the balance between community and privacy.

    What you should know

    Weather challenges: Pack appropriate protection for insects at Devils River Campground. "The only negative with our stay (which the campground can't help) were the mosquitos, flies, and bees. So bring bug spray!!!" advises M E.

    Seasonal closures: Point Beach State Forest undergoes maintenance periodically. "Campground will be closed until May 24, 2024 for maintenance on the waterlines," reports Laura M. Always check operating dates before planning a trip.

    Water quality concerns: Some campgrounds have water issues. "The drinking water is not good so be sure to pack enough," warns Terry L. about Point Beach State Forest. Consider bringing your own water supply.

    Reservation timing: Mapleview Campground and other dog friendly campgrounds near Denmark fill quickly during peak season. Most sites require advance booking, particularly for summer weekends.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly playgrounds: Bay Shore Park offers excellent facilities for children. "This is a great spot for kids..although there isnt swimming there are 2 playgrounds and lots of space to play frisbee or run around. We habe a great yime every time we go!" says Kristine M.

    Indoor pool option: Village Inn on the Lake provides swimming options regardless of weather. "The indoor pool is so nice! It's a saltwater pool and they have a separate hot tub," writes Amber C., noting this unique amenity.

    Cave explorations: Schedule visits to Maribel Caves during open dates. "The New Hope Cave is only open to tour 1 weekend of the month. It is usually the 3rd Saturday of the month but there were scheduling conflicts," notes M E. from Devils River Campground.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: High Cliff State Park provides natural education chances. "Hike the trails to see pieces of Wisconsin history throughout. Some trails on the Ridgeline offer vista views and moderate inclines that add to the adventure," recommends Sam F.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling: Apple Creek Campground provides relatively level sites despite terrain variations. "Even though we were on a hill the campsight was level. We had plenty of room for rv and tow," notes Robert O.

    Hookup placement: Bay Shore Park has some hookup configuration challenges. "The electric and water hookups were on opposite sides of the site, and we had to keep adjusting the travel trailer to get both to actually hook up," warns Nikki & Mike.

    Dump station timing: Point Beach State Forest experiences congestion at specific times. "The dump station gets really backed up at the end of the weekend, so heads up," advises Laura M., suggesting scheduling departures to avoid peak times.

    Space between sites: Apple Creek Campground has tighter spacing. "This is more of an RV park. It has lots of activities for kids etc... The sites are right on top of each other," notes Jennifer S., indicating the camping style may suit those seeking community rather than isolation.
