Best Campgrounds near Kewaunee, WI

259 Reviews

Camping options near Kewaunee, Wisconsin range from rustic tent sites to full-service RV parks along the Lake Michigan shoreline. The area features several mixed-use campgrounds including Kewaunee RV & Campground, Cedar Valley Campground, and Mapleview Campground, which accommodate both tent and RV campers. Most facilities operate seasonally from May through October, with a few campgrounds like Kewaunee Marina Campgrounds technically open year-round, though limited by weather conditions. Several locations also offer cabin rentals and glamping accommodations for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping experiences.

Seasonal considerations heavily influence camping in the Kewaunee area, with peak season running from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Most campgrounds operate from early May through mid-October, closing during winter months when temperatures drop and snow arrives. "The weekdays are extremely quiet but the weekends get a little busy due to the seasonal sites," noted one visitor to Devils River Campground. Water levels from Lake Michigan can affect shoreline camping, with Kewaunee Marina Campground previously experiencing closure due to flooding. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend stays during summer months when campgrounds reach capacity. Many facilities offer electric and water hookups, while sewer connections are less common but available at select locations.

The camping experience near Kewaunee benefits from proximity to natural attractions including Lake Michigan beaches, river access, and nearby caves and forests. Point Beach State Forest receives high marks for its "beautiful beaches" and "access to trails, sand-ridged beaches and a lighthouse." Several campgrounds feature swimming options, from man-made ponds to natural waterways. Campers report varied site sizes across the region, with some locations offering spacious, private settings while others feature more open layouts. Family-friendly amenities like playgrounds, game areas, and swimming facilities are common at the larger established campgrounds. Bay Shore Park, approximately 20 miles north of Kewaunee, offers what one visitor described as "a great size and semi-private" tent sites with nearby activities for children, making it a popular family destination within easy driving distance of town.

    Harbour Village Campground & Water Park

    “Rustic” tent camping

    My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the “Rustic” tent camping site. We were the only people that camped over the weekend in the Rustic area. It was a very nice set up. Secluded and far away from any RV campers.

    Our only complaint was that there was a HUGE party at the RV sites. Music blasting so loud from 7pm - 11:30pm. (Quiet hours are from 11pm - 8am) so that was really frustrating, especially when we were just trying to get away from city life and enjoy our campfire.

    Harbor Village is the perfect location for Door County. It’s nestled next to Door County Coffee, Winery, and Brewery. Plus all of the site seeing is within an hour or two.

    The amenities were nice.

    Other than the noisy neighbors, we enjoyed our time at Harbor Village. When we visit Door County, we will most likely stay here again.

    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.
