    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Cedar River North State Forest Campground provides horse pens at select campsites along the Cedar River. Half of the 14 sites feature horse corrals, making this a primary option for equestrian camping near Jacksonport. The campground stretches along the riverfront, with sites spaced far apart for privacy. Each site contains a handicap-accessible picnic table and fire pit, with many sites large enough for campers and horse trailers. Water is available from a fresh water spigot, though no electricity is provided. The campground is accessible via an 8-mile drive down an old logging trail, suitable for most vehicles despite being somewhat bumpy. Sites are typically uncrowded, creating a peaceful environment for camping with horses.

    The campground connects directly to equestrian trails that double as ski trails in winter. Horse riders can access the trail system from their campsites without additional transportation. The Cedar River flows alongside the campground, offering fishing opportunities for bass when not riding. Wildlife is abundant in the area, with birds, squirrels, and occasional coyotes heard in the early mornings. Mosquitoes are plentiful, particularly during summer months, so proper protection is advisable for both humans and horses. The remote location ensures quiet camping, though some ATV users from nearby trails occasionally visit to use the bathroom facilities. A gas station with supplies and firewood is available on the highway before the turnoff to the campground.

      Cedar River North State Forest Campground

      Highly recommended

      This place is awesome. It's 8 miles down an old logging trail but it's worth the drive. There is no electricity but they have a fresh water spigot. There are 14 campsites, half of which have horse pens, most of the sites are river front on the Cedar River, and 2 sets a trails,one which is an equestrian trail that doubles as ski trails in winter. There is a kayak launch and the river is a great place for catching bass. Every site has at least one handicap accessible picnic table and a small fire pit. Most of the sites are big enough to fit a camper. There is a set of mudding trails across the river with easy access, the sounds are not too loud. The campground is usually empty or close to it. The mudders do come visit the grounds for the bathrooms, otherwise it's pretty quiet. There is a bunch of wildlife, you can hear birds and squirrels chattering, coyotes call to each other in the early in the morning across the river, and lots of little critters scurrying about. Dogs are welcome. There is a gas station/Mart on the highway before the turnoff that sells fire wood and other items you may need while camping

      River Park

      Peaceful and rustic camping

      This was a great trip to escape into the wilderness. Vault toilets were clean, centrally located and close to the hand pump well. Plenty of space at each of the sites. Some of the sites were right on the river while the ones uphill had horse fences. The road in was a little muddy but not bad enough to get stuck. My only complaint was the amount of trash in the fire pits. They have plenty of trash cans all around. Hopefully future campers start using them!

      Bay Shore Park

      Great on the go last minute sight

      We 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.

      Perfectly Quiet Riverview Campground

      My wife and I were blessed to spend a night at this idyllic site as my mother graciously watched our daughter for the night to let us enjoy camping together. We brought the dogs with; and we were able to kayak and fish along the river within view of our campsite. Some of the sites themselves are elegantly perched above the riverbank and give you a great view overlooking the mini rapids at the convergence of the river split. Each site is a good distance away from the nearest one so you do feel more remote as you camp. We went for walks on the handful of small trails, enjoyed a picnic and roasted food over our little fire. The site also offers toilet, water and trash services, adding a little extra convenience. I definitely hope to camp here again with my kids once they get older!

      Bay Shore Park

      Relaxation not too far from the City

      The tent sites are a great size and semi private (you can have a conversation and not be heard at other sites). The bathroom and showers are decent and cleaned daily around 6 am. There are reservable and walk-in sites. The sites also have extra parking across from them.

      There is a lot to do for kids a great play area, swimming, fishing, boating etc. There are hiking trails but not a lot.

      The couple I went with had issues with the site next to them ( loud inappropriate language and using drugs) the rangers responded quickly and efficiently!

      I have been there summer and late spring.

      River Park

      Campsite 2 (Middle of July)

      Stayed here for one night and was perfect! Campsite 2 is amazing and has a path down to the river, which is so beautiful. Was very spacious and could fit a camper with a tent easily. Definitely be mindful with a camper just because of how bumpy the roads are. It includes a nice fire pit, long camping table, and trash can. All four campsites on property are far apart and didn’t hear neighbors. If bathrooms are big concern definitely get site 1 and if you want to be close to the beach get site 4. Site 2 and 3 are on the water front, you can get down to the river from 2 but unsure about 3. There was a good amount of broken glass and some trash at site 2, so be careful if you have little ones or dogs. We did see a park ranger during the morning but not sure how much they come around. Overall, great experience and would recommend if you are looking for some relaxing camping time :)

      Rustic Timbers Door County Camping

      Very peaceful and private

      I was surprised that each site is pretty wooded making you feel like you don't have neighbors. The surrounding area is just expansive farmlands which is beautiful to look at when walking the dog in the morning.

      They have fun kid things but you have to pay extra to use them. They have a free playground (old school looking, lots of metal haha) that my kids had a lot of fun on so that's good. It also is too rainy to use the fun have-to-pay park which includes these huge pillows that kids can jump on. They also have a trampoline basketball activity and a more updated jungle gym.

      The pool seemed small for the campground size but we haven't used it due to the rain so it was just a visual observation.

      Rustic Timbers Door County Camping

      Labor Day Weekend Site 339

      Our first trip with our new to us travel trailer. We were assigned site 339 and in our opinion lucked out with the best site possible in our category. We were nicely surrounded by woods with minimal visibility of our neighbors. We walked the park and for full hook up sites the 300s are nice if you're looking for a more secluded/wooded spot, the pull throughs have minimal division from your neighbors. My only complaint is that with dogs it would have been nice to have some grass the entire site was gravel to the tree line. We had to take our dogs to the field for potty as they refused to poop at our site. Firewood is $10/wagon and you must purchase at the park. Multiple nice play areas, my 4 year old had a blast. They had a live band all day Saturday until 9:15 and it made it difficult to get our 4 year old to nap/go to bed even with 2 sound soother on high and a fan running but I will say the band looked fun! Highly recommend the campground as wholw, we will be back!

      Washington Island Campground

      Island living, fun, relaxing

      Washington Island is a fun family oriented island. There are beaches all around, a very unique limestone beach that only exists in a few parts of the world and several different activities geared towards families. Everything is on Island time, meaning, life seems to slow down. Chill, relax, lay in the sun on the beach, go for a swim, walk among the millions of lavender flowers, attend a church service on Sunday. Washington Island seems to have a little bit of everything, even some fossils!

      The campground available to us was just ok. The showers seemed a long walk, there are pit toilets near the camping spots but if you want running water you have to go to the club-house. The "mini-golf" course was in disarray, the "playground" was old and falling apart, and a lot of the camp ground spots were right on top of the other so do your research before reserving a spot. We stayed in site 12 and it felt like it was a little more private and larger.

      The weather was great at the end of Aug; not too hot and not chilly, very comfortable for tent camping. The Ferry ride over was an unforgettable experience that my 6 year old thoroughly enjoyed. I will say that we were able to pretty much do everything the Island has to offer in 3 days and I don't know if I can justify coming back here again, but we had fun slowing down and that's what matters.
