    Maribel, Wisconsin

    Originally designated the Ma-na-to (Manitoo) River, translated “Stooping Spirit River,” by native Ojibwe peoples, the name was mistaken by early settlers to mean “Devils River.” This mistranslation stuck and today Devils River is the name of the 16-mile-long waterway that flows into the West Twin River, which in turn empties into Lake Michigan. Visitors to the river can enjoy some outdoor time at the Devils River Campground, while exploring some of the historical sites around the area, including an old mill and the remains of an old stone bridge. The river is also a popular fishing hole for bullhead catfish, rock bass, northern pike, and brown and rainbow trout. Located approximately 30 minutes southeast of Green Bay, the Devils River Campground offers 130 parklike campsites situated among open, grassy clearings (i.e., minimal privacy) surrounded by shady trees. Sites can accommodate both tent and RV campers (max 50 feet), and are equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and water and electrical hookups. The central comfort station provides flush toilets, showers and laundry facilities; a dump station is located nearby. The campground also features a large swimming pond, a playground, and access to the Devils River State Trail for exploring the river, wetlands, and local prairies. Dogs are welcome at this campground. Campsite rates are $32–$38/night. Situated right in the campground is the historic Rock Mill. Constructed in 1847 by Pliney Pierce, the mill first operated as a sawmill, then as a gristmill, for nearly a century. The remarkably well-preserved building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The mill is not open for public touring, but can be viewed from outside. Just a mile south of the campground, visitors can explore some natural history at Cherney Maribel Caves Park. The park has many caves, crevices, and cliffs that can be explored by the public. A few caves can only be seen by joining a seasonal cave tour. The park also has picnic areas, a playground, and trails for hiking, biking, and skiing.

      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.

      Nice place , nice people

      Stayed there in August.  The site was nice, campground was not busy which was very nice. Bathrooms are the best we've seen in a long time...super clean with individual shower rooms.  Traveled in 28ft Class C towing SUV...Plenty of room for both in our site .

      We travel to the U.P. every year from Iowa and stay here every time we can.

      Peaceful, quiet, easy to book and well kept! Bathroom was ice cold and only cold water in bathroom. Very nice hot water in shower house. They made us pay for 2 nights when we only stayed for one on a Monday(not a weekend) but I’d absolutely recommend this campground! Very peaceful!!

      Nice woody sites near the lake

      We 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.

      Great spot for families

      This was our first experience with a “bells and whistles” type campground. And we were very pleased with the quality of the amenities that we have previously done without.

      The newer playground is now open/free and includes a pickleball court, which was enjoyed by everyone. There is also a nice little convenience store and a bar/restaurant with a patio that overlooks the play area. It’s a great setup for parents who feel comfortable letting their kids play at a distance.

      The toilets and showers were just spotless and so clean. That was honestly such a pleasant and welcomed surprise.

      We were fortunate to have a more wooded spot within the circle section of the campground but it was not as wooded/secluded as other camping experiences we’ve had. But we knew this going in and were really pleased with the amount of greenery we got along with the amenities.

      Would definitely come back!

      Overall a good experience

      We rented a camper for the first time and decided to go here. We appreciated the facilities and the fact that there was help available if necessary.

      The campground is big with lots of sites. Some are in a big field that was really crowded. I’m glad we asked for a wooded site.

      The biggest downside was noise. We were there over the 4th of July. There were golf carts that circled the campgrounds blaring loud music on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July. I get celebrating the 4th but this was pretty annoying.

      But overall this was good. It helped me realize I prefer more remote camping. I’m not sure the resort feel of this KOA is for me, but that is a preference. There is a lot to like and a lot to do here.

      Beautiful beaches

      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.

      Early spring Quick trip

      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.

      Point Beach State Forest

      Great

      Huge 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.

      Unappealing

      Wouldn't consider this an rv site. Very small spaces ( 16 ) right by the road. NO DUMP STATION AT ALL. No garbage dumpster. Water and electric only. I thought they had to have a dump station by law to be an rv place. They said in 2018 they were working on it. Charged extra for 50 amp service. If you just want to pull in for the night and sleep it's ok. Would not recommend.

      Daisy Field Campground — Potawatomi State Park

      Great location but VERY busy and noisy campground!

      Camped for two nights in the northern loop. The camp store is fantastic -- lots of camping gear, snacks, beer, ice cream, and merch. The bathrooms were clean and the showers had nice hot/warm water! The hand dryer in the ladies bathroom is useless, though, so I ended up just having to air dry.

      Amazing hiking and sights! Very close to the water and trails. The shoreline is rocky and definitely not meant for swimming. The boat launch is north of the campground and even has a fish-cleaning station. You can rent kayaks and paddleboards from the camp store and then launch them at the boat landing.

      VERY VERY noisy campground. Lots of screaming kids and barking dogs and loud-talking. While this doesn't bother a lot of people, it made it difficult to really relax. Also, this isn't a reflection of the park at all -- of course it's a popular campground, as it has a lot of amenities and activities. I knew what I was getting myself into!

      The sites are pretty close to one another but there are a lot of trees and greenery, so you still feel like you're in your own space. The bathrooms are all very clean and within short walking distance from the sites. 

      Next time I visit, I will do it in April/May or September/October so that I can avoid peak season, but I'll definitely be coming back!

      Back again

      We love this place! We were on the water in the W area, a spacious site with firewood prepaid and waiting for us when we arrived. Pit toilets are within a short walk and are among the cleanest I’ve seen anywhere. The only drawback is the showers. Coin operators is OK, but no temperature control. Fortunately, the water is hot! Staff is awesome, as always.

      Quite disappointed

      Made reservations for a site. When we got here, someone was in our spot and there was a paper hanging on the post that said it was reserved for 2 days longer than how long our stay was going to be. We called and asked what was going on and the lady was extremely confused and said she'd get the campground caretaker there asap. We then asked if we could occupy another site, they said yes and asked what kind of rig we had. I said that we were tenting. The lady said that wasn't allowed and she'd issue a refund. There isn't anything on the website that says tenting isn't allowed.

      Nice state park along Lake Winnebago. Fun hiking and climbing

      High 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.

      What a great little spot to visit. They have many sites in the field or in the woods. Most with electric 30/50 amp and a beautiful lake with many family friendly things to do. The people are friendly and they have clean showers and bathrooms along with laundry.

      Little Gem!

      This 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!

      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.

      Big Lake Campground

      Good rustic site

      Pretty simple campground. Vault toilets were clean. No showers or water but lake access helped with that. Had a good large site that was level. The draw here is the fishing and it was perfect. Not too many crazy boaters so kayaking was perfect to do.

      Hiked a few trails and and saw loads of bikes so maybe next time.

      Easy access to loads of other activities and areas to paddle was the reason I chose this campground. Didn’t hurt that there were not too any people here.
