Best RV Parks & Resorts near La Pointe, WI

Several RV campgrounds serve the Bayfield Peninsula and Madeline Island areas near La Pointe. Apostle Islands Area RV Park and Camping offers electric and water hookups at each site, with some full hookup options available from early May to early October. Kreher RV Park in Ashland features electric sites with water hookups and accommodates larger motorhomes from May through mid-October. Dalrymple Park and Campground provides 28 electric sites for RVs under 30 feet with gravel pads and moderate spacing between sites. Buffalo Bay Campground includes water and electric hookups with 50-amp service available. "If you get here early, there are a few sites right on the water looking over the islands. Some spots are tight with an RV, I'd suggest walking the loop before driving around."

RV travelers heading to Madeline Island should note the ferry cost varies by vehicle length, with one reviewer reporting "$220 round trip for a 54-foot truck and trailer combo." Big Bay State Park on the island accommodates motorhomes with electric sites, though bringing an RV requires advance planning for the ferry crossing. Dump stations are limited in the region - Kreher RV Park has an on-site station while others may require driving to town facilities. Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds, with strong Verizon coverage at Dalrymple Park but spotty service on parts of Madeline Island. Most campgrounds in the area are seasonal, typically operating from May through October, with some closing earlier depending on weather conditions. Pets are permitted at most RV parks but must remain leashed.

    Dalrymple Park and Campground

    Camp Next to Lake Superior

    Oh thank goodness, we camped out at Dalrymple Park and Campground in Bayfield, WI as supposed to our original reservation at a boring campground in Cornucopia, WI. Dalrymple was just minutes away from Bayfield, and boat rides away from the Apostle Islands and Madeline Island. There are 28 sites surrounded by canopies of trees and there are wooded fences along the sides next to Lake Superior. It was a perfect spot to settle in for camping. Some sites were drive-in and others were back-ins perfect for RVs under 30 feet. Camping is $25 a night for 2 vehicles or 1 RV for each site. There is a fire ring, picnic table, electric hook-up, and a stump to cut some firewood at each site. Bathrooms are vault toilets and are walking distance. There were plenty of FREE firewood piles near the entrance. Cell-signal was strong for Verizon. A few of the back-in sites were steep but spacious and the drive-in sites were a bit small. It is a family-friendly campground. Pets are welcome but must be on a leash. The mosquitoes were pretty active so bring your repellant or citronella to ward them off. The view was great, but the noise level at night was a damper. We had a rowdy camper who had no consideration or camping etiquette when it's past 10:00 pm. The campground itself was overall wonderful.

    Wanoka Lake Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    Standard USFS campground

    Typical USFS campground in the Chequamegon NF. First come first served, self pay, no host, very green and lush and private sites.

    $15/night. Some sites are pull through. A few are level, but most would be difficult for us to get level enough to be comfortable. Not sure of the length limit here but we had no problems in our 26ft class c. Roads are narrow and the low hanging branches scraped along the top and sides of our rig, but no damage. 

    There is a trash dumpster here, and even a recycling bin, a nice surprise. There is potable water at the campground (per note at spigot water is safe to drink but will leave rust residue). Vault toilets here as well. 

    The lake is nice and peaceful and small, and bugs/mosquitos weren’t too bad. There’s a little dock at the lake but you can’t drive your boat down, you have to carry it on foot. 

    Surprisingly decent Verizon and ATT service. Hardly anybody here. Beautiful and quiet and serene.

    Big Bay State Park Campground

    Was it worth$162 Round Trip to bring our RV to Madeline Island– Yes!

    Big Bay State Park is on Madeline Island in Lake Superior and is one of the Apostle Islands. The only way to arrive is by ferry boat. It is pricey to bring your RV. Ours is only 26 feet but we had a bike rack and two bikes that brought our total length to 30 feet. If you are a tent camper and traveling in your car, it will be about $27 for your car and$16 for each passenger round trip. www.madferry.com   

    The first thing about Big Bay State Park is your RV is on a ferry boat. The ferry is very organized but small and depending on the time of day and day of the week you may need to wait for more than one ferry to depart. Once you get to the park, it is quiet and filled with natural beauty. The campground has both electric and non-electric sites. We visited in mid-July and it was cool and breezy and we did not need our air conditioning. There is no dump station at the park. There is a dump station at the airport about 5 miles away where you can dump. 

    This is the first WI State Park I have seen with hose hook up on the water stations. There is a drinking fountain, bottle filler and hose hook up on each water station and there are many of them through out the park. We were able to fill our RV from the hose hook up. There are 60 sites with 7 walk in sites. All sites are well spaced and have a newer picnic table and fire ring/grill. The park is very well kept with 8 trails in distance from.1 to 4 miles. The Boardwalk trail that follows the bay is flat and has many interpretive signs. It connects to the Big Bay Town Park. The beach was not crowded when we visited mid-week and views of Lake Superior where breath taking. When you arrive by ferry you are in the town of La Pointe. There are restaurants, shopping, a laundromat, bike, moped and canoe/kayak rentals. It is six miles from La Pointe to Big Bay State Park.

Lake noice is minimal as well. Road Noise: Even the sites close to the Missionary Point Dr. do not seem to experience too much traffic noise.

    Big Bay State Park Campground

    Spacious wooded sites, but little privacy

    Sites are fairly large and have lots of trees and woods surrounding them. You get a handicap picnic table and fire pit with grate at each site. Big rig friendly. Saw a motorhome so you can fit and you can get on the ferry over!! There is one bathroom with showers and the rest are vault toilets. There is a hiking trail right out of the campground and biking is an option too!

    Burlington Bay Campground

    Big Rig Paradise

    This campground is adjacent to the Burlington Bay Campground. It has 3 rows of 11 sites meant for full hookup and big rigs. They are terraced so sites 24-34 are on the top while 1-12 are closest to the water and on the bottom of the hill.

    This is specifically meant for big rigs. No shade and no privacy unless you are inside. What they do offer is great facilities and an amazing view! There is also a community feel here where everyone most likely talks to each other and knows each other by the end of their stay. At the bottom of the hill is the waterfront. You can do a lot from here.

    You can rent for $45.00 per night or $276.00 per week. Sites are packed graves so they are level and easy in and out with your rig. Wouldn’t want to tent camp here. They have a nice shower house and dump stations as would be needed for big rigs. It is newer than the additional campground and still close to Lake Superior.

    Big Bay Town Park

    Woodsy Get Away

    Big Bay Town Park We enjoyed our stay on Madeline Island towards the end of June. We stayed in in a travel trailer with our dog on the“modern” side which has electric service and is on the other side of the road from the office. The campsites on the lake side are rustic only. The modern sites are secluded with a good buffer of woods between them. Nice privacy. 

    There is no WiFi or cell service, however there is good WiFi at the office. 

    There are 30/50 amp hookups, a picnic table and a pad for a tent. There are 2 bathroom facilities with water spigots. The bathrooms are new and well maintained. There is a pretty trail that connects the 2 bathroom buildings. Unfortunately, the shower house is across the road in the office building.$1.75/3 Minutes. 

    The staff was very friendly and made sure we had all the information to enjoy our time on the island. Since the weather was pretty rainy, there weren’t a lot of people on the island, so it was very quiet. There were only 4 other campers in modern side, and a few tents on the other side. 

    The only thing that was kind of a bummer is that we brought our own kayak, but there really wasn’t a good way to carry the kayak down the many steps to the beach. The park has kayaks for rent on the honor system at the beach. The park parking lot is on a bluff above the beach with steps leading down to the water. The beach was nice to walk on. Our dog loved it. We only ate in town once, but the food was fantastic.

    Big Bay Town Park

    Cool island campsite!

    Pretty nice campground that you have to take a 20 minute ferry from the mainland. Then you drive through the small harbor town to the campsite. Nice, clean showers and bathrooms. The tents sites are spacious and they're only a 10 or so minute drive from La Point. The island community is full of restaurants and art galleries. We went in July and were able to go to a film fest and do yoga on the beach. These amenities may not be at the campground, but staying on the island gives you access to them. By the main office, there's a trail that goes down to the beach where you can rent canoes and kayaks on an honor system.
