    Daisy Field Campground — Potawatomi State Park

    Costs keep rising

    General: Located along Sturgeon Bay in the southern part of Door County, Potawatomi’s Daisy Field Campground is divided into two loops: north and south. In addition to paying the campsite fee, you need to pay a daily ($11) or annual ($38) for an out-of-state fee (slightly less for residents). The gate attendant tried to charge us for three days - we were camping for two nights but we convinced him this should not be the case. These additional fees are making private campgrounds much closer in cost and a bit more desirable. Note: you are near the Door County regional airport; we heard many planes in the early evening, but it quieted down later. 

    Site Quality/Facilities: 125 sites in two loops. Gravel pads except for the two handicap accessible sites in the south loop plus one handicap accessible cabin in the south loop. Be aware that in the south loop, many (but not all) of the even-numbered sites on the north side (10-46) slope upward and/or sideways while many of the odd-numbered sites (33-43) tend to slope downward. The sites on the south side of the loop appeared to be more level. Our site (40) was challenging for our camper van to find a level spot (it tended to slope sideways no matter what we did). Even-numbered sites in the north loop (86-102) appeared to be more level and they have a filtered bay view but they are right on the road. Each site has a fire ring and large picnic table; some are electric and some with no hook-ups. The sites are all wooded and there is reasonable separation between them. There is a nature center, camp store and sports rentals available between the two loops. Firewood is also available for $7 a bundle. 

    Bathhouse: There is only one bath/shower facility between the two loops which was not nearly adequate for 125 sites (this is not the first Wisconsin state park we’ve been in that has had only one bath house for the entire campground). It was reasonably clean, but it looked like their idea of cleaning was to blast it with a power hose as the floors, sinks, and toilets were extremely wet just after cleaning. The showers were ok, but you have to keep pressing the button every minute to keep the water flowing. There are several vault toilets – I saw two in the south loop and one in the north loop. 

    Activities/Amenities: Several hiking trails lead directly from the campground. We hiked the Ice Age Trail from the campground to the observation tower but were dismayed to discover it is permanently closed due to structural issues. There are sport rentals (bikes, kayaks, etc. available) which is a nice amenity. 

    Don’t get me wrong – we enjoyed our stay here but with state parks increasing their costs (especially for non-residents), it was only $7 less to stay here in a tent site than it did at the private campground we stayed at the previous night with more amenities and cleaner/more modern bathrooms.

    J.W. Wells State Park Campground

    Parking lot by the lake

    Stayed for 5 nights. The third party computerized reservation system gave our site to someone else. Fortunately, we were put into a first-come first-served campsite right on the water which is a major upgrade. All of the sites (except for a few paved handicapped sites) are grass. Perimeter sites can be muddy. Interior sites can have enough slope that the trailer A-frame is on the ground in order to level. Electricity is reliable. Restrooms are immaculate. Showers are nice. Dump station with fresh water is clean and works well (2 bay). 

    My main complaint is a common, almost universal complain - people are right on top of one another. We have a truck camper 6 feet from our screen room with its AC on high and a very "fun" family sitting right outside our trailer on the other side. The "infield" is much worse - seems like each site has multiple vehicles and space is so tight that they are stacking kayaks. Family groups with clustered sites. Seems like a kennel as well with dogs everywhere. On the plus side: very little music being played, people were respectful, dogs well behaved for the most part without unattended barking dogs, people stayed quiet in off hours. The park itself is small with no biking trails or significant hiking trails. Not a lot of birdlife. They do have a nice beach which is a draw for families. We enjoyed our stay overall. We would return only if we had a waterfront site for a max of 3-4 nights. Off season would be better than summer.

    O. B. Fuller Campground

    On the shores of Lake Michigan

    You 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.

    Wagon Trail Campground

    Greaet family campground

    General: Pride of ownership is evident throughout the campground and there are many different types of accommodations: tent, electric and water, (including some classified as prime), full hook-up, cabins, and yurts. There are also seasonal sites and travel trailer rentals. This campground was as busy as I would expect for Door County in the summer. We checked in at the well-staffed office (open until 9 pm) at which time our site was assigned. 

    Site Quality/Facilities: Since there are so many different kinds of sites, they vary greatly. Our non-hookup site (#104) had an L-shaped driveway which was just a bit awkward to back our campervan into but not impossible. This site would not have been suitable for a large RV. Some of the tent sites in this loop (#111-113) were called “hideaway” tent sites as they had very long driveways and more privacy. Many of the sites are wooded and there is varying separation between sites but more than adequate. The premium sites have the most privacy and many of these have no one behind them. 

    Bathhouse: There are two bathhouses, and each is closed for a two-hour period each day. They were immaculate (possibly the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen!). The shower, while a bit on the small side, had nice hot water and plenty of hooks to hang clothes and toiletries. They were clean. 

    Activities/Amenities: The campground itself has much to offer: playground, recreation area with volleyball net, laundry, dishwashing station, fish cleaning station, recreation room with pool table and arcade games, lounge with fireplace, couches, and books, a camp store, and doggie stations. A couple of hiking trails lead from the campground, including one to Grandma’s Swedish Bakery (highly recommend at least one visit). Nearby kayak and SUP rentals. There is much to do in Door County for active and less active pursuits; this campground is located on the quiet side of the peninsula, but it does not take long to drive to other activities. 

    This is not our typical type of campground. We used to live within two hours of the northern part of the Door Peninsula, so we only took day trips here; camping here is new to us but we are enjoying exploring many different options.

    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!

    Night Sky Lovers Dream

    This was probably one of my favorite spots to camp so far, and we do a lot of family camping!! Quiet, serene, close to the lake. The night sky viewing was AMAZING here. Because of its location, there is very little light pollution which makes for wonderful star gazing. We stayed in a camping cabin this trip as that was the only spot available. A short hike from the campground takes you straight to a great beach on Lake Michigan. I will say that the mosquitos are fierce, so make sure that you bring your bug spray! Also a short drive to some great Door County spots. We love Door County and look forward to camping here again!

    Wagon Trail Campground

    Best Campground Ever

    This is probably the nicest, most well run campground we have ever stayed at. The staff is friendly and welcoming, they are pet friendly, and their sites are spacious and private - unlike so many other campgrounds we visit.

    While staying here, you’re a short walk to a great bakery and restaurant. Additionally, you can bring your gear and hike the trails just 5 minutes away at the state park.

    Rates are very reasonable and the bathrooms are the best we’ve seen at any campground.

    This place can’t get much better...

Guide to Fish Creek

Cabin camping near Fish Creek, Wisconsin offers campers easy access to Door County's amenities in a forested setting. Most cabins are situated within established campgrounds with varying levels of privacy and woodland surroundings. The camping season typically runs from mid-May through October, with some locations closing earlier due to the colder Lake Michigan climate.

What to do

Hiking nearby trails: The peninsula offers accessible hiking options within short driving distance of most cabin sites. At Wagon Trail Campground, campers can "bring your gear and hike the trails just 5 minutes away at the state park" according to Gerald B., making it convenient to explore without moving your vehicle.

Explore local towns: The central location of cabin sites puts travelers within reach of Door County's shopping and dining. Staying at HTR Door County means "we loved the convenience" as one reviewer noted, with most cabins allowing easy access to Egg Harbor's attractions.

Water activities: Though many cabin sites lack direct water access, nearby beaches and boat launches provide recreation options. One visitor at River Park Campground mentioned, "If you bring a boat you can beach it in the park," making it possible to combine cabin comfort with water sports.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Cabin campers frequently mention the well-maintained bathrooms at Fish Creek area campgrounds. At Daisy Field Campground, one reviewer found "clean bathrooms and showers. Very close to Sturgeon Bay," which is particularly important for rustic cabins without plumbing.

Family-friendly amenities: Many cabin locations feature recreation options beyond the basic campsite. "They have fun kid things but you have to pay extra to use them," noted one camper at Rustic Timbers Door County Camping, adding that "They have a free playground (old school looking, lots of metal) that my kids had a lot of fun on."

Privacy levels: Cabin sites offer varying degrees of seclusion depending on the property layout. "We were nicely surrounded by woods with minimal visibility of our neighbors," reported one visitor at Rustic Timbers Door County Camping, highlighting the importance of site selection for privacy-seeking campers.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Cabin accommodations fill quickly during peak season. Most require booking 6-12 months in advance for summer weekends.

Amenity differences: Cabin facilities vary significantly between properties. Many lack bathrooms or kitchens, requiring campers to use communal facilities.

Site layouts: Some cabin arrangements prioritize community while others focus on seclusion. One visitor at Fish Creek Campground noted that "the sites are a bit close together," which might influence your selection depending on privacy preferences.

Location convenience: Consider driving distances to attractions when selecting cabin sites. Most Fish Creek area cabins require short drives to beaches, trails, and towns rather than offering direct access.

Tips for camping with families

Activity options: Select cabins with built-in entertainment for unpredictable weather days. "The pools are all closed this time of year but the fishing pond and swimming pond are still open," mentioned a visitor at Harbour Village Resort, indicating seasonal limitations to consider.

Playground access: Families with young children benefit from cabin sites with play structures. "Playground great for the 10yrs and under crowd. Basketball, pickleball, gaga ball etc. Fun place to stay," wrote one reviewer about their experience.

Cabin size limitations: Most cabins accommodate 4-6 people maximum, often with bunk configurations. Larger families might need to reserve multiple units or consider alternatives for comfortable sleeping arrangements.

Bathroom proximity: When camping with children, consider the distance between your cabin and restroom facilities, especially for nighttime needs. Many cabins lack indoor plumbing, making nearby facilities important for families.

Tips from RVers

Alternate accommodations: Some RV travelers use cabins when traditional sites are unavailable. "We stayed in a camping cabin this trip as that was the only spot available," noted one camper, showing flexibility in planning.

Hookup considerations: Cabins typically lack the utility connections RVers might expect. Those accustomed to onboard facilities should prepare for communal bathrooms and limited electricity in some cabin units.

Leveling and parking: Most cabin sites provide level pads and sufficient parking space nearby, but not always immediately adjacent to the unit. Consider gear transport needs when selecting a cabin location.
