Best Tent Camping near Luxemburg, WI

304 Reviews

State parks and public lands near Luxemburg, Wisconsin provide several options for tent camping enthusiasts seeking lakeside experiences. Welcker's Point Campground in Peninsula State Park, located approximately 30 miles northeast of Luxemburg in Door County, offers dedicated tent campsites with drive-in access. Harbour Village Campground, situated about 20 miles east in Sturgeon Bay, also accommodates tent campers with designated sites. Both locations serve as strategic bases for exploring the Door Peninsula's natural landscapes and shorelines.

Sites at Welcker's Point feature a mix of shaded and partially open terrain with natural ground surfaces. Campers report well-sized, comfortable tent pads with adequate spacing between neighboring sites. Basic amenities include fire rings, picnic tables, and access to flush toilets and showers, though some facilities may need updating. The campground provides drinking water, trash collection, and recycling services. Primitive tent camping areas require careful site selection, as poison ivy grows throughout the park. Visitors should stay on designated campsites and established trails to avoid contact with irritating plants.

Tent campers frequently choose these locations for their proximity to recreational opportunities. According to reviews, Welcker's Point offers "nice and quiet" camping with sites positioned close to Green Bay waters. One visitor noted their tent site had "shade for our tent, and sun as needed," creating an ideal balance for comfortable camping. The Sunset Bike Trail runs alongside the campground, providing immediate access to the park's extensive trail network. Fall camping is particularly rewarding with colorful foliage displays. Sites near the boat launch offer greater seclusion and some feature private water access. Walk-in tent sites throughout Peninsula State Park provide additional options for backcountry tent camping experiences with varying levels of privacy and natural surroundings.

    Baileys Grove Travel Park and Campground

    Clean, friendly & overall great

    We really enjoyed this campground!

    The owners were very accommodating. We had a late check in and they still hooked us up with firewood, ice and quarters for laundry!

    It's super clean. The whole campground is nicely cared for. There are plenty of trees and shade.

    There are central flush toilets and showers plus portable toilets scattered throughout the campground. The port o potties are lit at night and pleasantly clean. I generally loathe port o potties but these were actually pretty nice.

    The laundry is open 24/7 which is really convenient.

    The individual sites have a picnic table, fire ring, electricity and water. There wasn't a tent pad but the ground was level.

    I definitely recommend this campground and will stay here again when I return to Door County.

    North Bay Shore Park

    Peaceful stay on the bay of Green Bay

    General/Site Quality: Small (35-site) campground on the west shore of the Bay of Green Bay; some have water and electricity, and some just have electricity. Sites 14-23 are on grass while the others have paved camper pads. All are level and very generous in size. While they don’t necessarily have a physical separation between them, sites are spaced a good distance apart from each other. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. In the center of the loop, there are some nice mature trees. 

    Bath/Shower: At one end of the loop, there is a two-stall, one-sink restroom for each gender plus two showers; at the other end of the loop there are two vault toilets. All were clean. 

    Activities/Amenities: There is quite a bit to do here. Fishing, boating (separate fee for the boat launch), swimming, kayaking (but you need to bring your own – although the literature says there are boat rentals, I did not see this). There is a nice playground and a smaller swing set; both are in different locations behind campsites, making it a bit awkward to access. In the day-use area, there is a fish cleaning station, a basketball hoop, and a somewhat dated playground. There used to be a volleyball area, but the net was no longer there. Self-serve firewood is available. There is a dump station.

    The fee of $20 per night was very reasonable and our stay was very quiet and peaceful for a campground that was about 2/3 full on a Monday after Father’s Day.

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    Ranger Review: Wenzel Ivanhoe 6 at High Cliff State Park

    Campground Review

    High Cliff is a generally wooded and shaded campground on a cliff overlooking Lake Winnebago. The sites are average to above average size, with a good mix of electric and non-electric sites. We are tent campers and the ground was pretty flat and there was a good spot for our tents in our site. Our site was nice and spacious with a good fire-ring that had a grate that rotated. Typically I use an adjustable tripod grill, but since was a rainy weekend, it was nice to be able to not have to get that out. The one thing about our site(and the campground in general) in the rain was the mud. Since it is heavily shaded there isn't really any grass, so the ring forest floor soil turns mucky and muddy.

    There is one main flush toilet/shower building in the campground, and a bunch of pit toilet buildings. The pit toilet buildings had some issues with the lights in some of them, but the shower/flush building was mostly clean and not too far away. There is also a really nice playground nearby.

    Within the park are plenty of hiking/biking trails, a lookout tower, and there is beach access. The beach/water is definitely swimmable, but this isn't the most beautiful beach for swimming. When we were here, it was cool and rainy, so the most we did was put our feet in the water. There isn't much sand, but there are large grassy areas.

    The weekend we were there a local theater group happened to be performing a minimal version of Romeo and Juliet. It was awesome.

    Product Review

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time, this time I got to test the Wenzel Ivanhoe 6 tent.

    I've owned a bunch of tents throughout the years, but mostly they were small backpacking size tents. We have use a large 8-person Cabella's tent for the past 9 years for car camping, but it is time-consuming to set-up, so we thought the Wenzel Ivanhoe 6 would be a nice complement tent for us.

    The Ivanhoe is part of Wenzel's "Tribute" collection, with a retro-inspired design. The Ivanhoe reminds me of my parents' old canvas tent. The Ivanhoe is a single-walled house-shaped tent made of weather-treated polyester and taped seams. It held up really well in the rainy weather we had camping and there was just one small area that the seam tape failed: a"troubleshooting" tag that hangs down inside the tent.

    What I like:

    • The single pole design is simple and quick to setup

    • There is good airflow with the large screens on the doors and the two side windows; The rear vent is a nice touch

    • It has a great look and it well made

    • It actually fits in the bag it came in

    What I don't like

    • The top peak vents don't really work

    • There was a slight leak by the tag (I'll use some seam-sealer to fix this for the future)

    • Since it isn't freestanding, there are a lot of guy lines that are easy to trip over in the dark

    For a sub-$200 tent, this tent is awesome. It's easy to set up and looks great. It is a simple design that is spacious and comfortable for 3-4 people. It did great in rainy weather. I definitely recommend this tent for for those looking for a car camping tent around this size and want to spend less than $200.

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    Beautiful Park but Lots of Raccoons

    The park itself is beautiful, and the trails are nice. The tent sites were on the smaller side and kind of close together. The park ranger was good-natured and patient when we accidentally set up on the wrong site.

    Make sure to store your food correctly! The two sites beside us were ransacked by raccoons all night long because they left their supplies out. Three raccoons came to smell around our picnic table as soon as we zipped up inside the tents but left quickly after not finding food.

    Tennison Bay Campground — Peninsula State Park

    Quiet yet filled with scenic adventure

    This campground is HUGE! Definitely take a map if you’re offered one or find one. It is so beautiful, lots of shoreline and so many things to do from biking and hiking trails, to a lighthouse & museum and much more. Located in Door County, the peninsula also offers lots to do from Mini Golf to Shipwreck kayak tours. I could have spent a month here and still have more things to try out.

    Do beware of raccoons though! Be sure to put all food in your vehicles at night or if you leave the campsite. The showers weren’t amazing, but I did get to shower with a tree frog, so that’s an experience.

    I also suggest bringing an air mat or sleeping pad if you're tenting. The ground is really quite hard. We had a tough time getting our tent stakes into the ground and ended up tying the tent to trees in a couple spots instead!

    Baileys Woods Campground

    Our 1st pick for Door County Camping! Quiet and Close to Everything!

    We absolutely love this campground and it is our first pick when it comes to staying in Door County. It is in the middle of the Door Peninsula and just minutes from anything that you would be interested in doing, including catching amazing sunrises from downtown Bailey's Harbor (Just a short 1.2 mile walk away)! Main road in front of campground is not busy and its very easy to run or walk on without really having to worry about cars.

    The campground itself is small (.6 miles of roads if you walk every road in the campground), but the spaces are large with decent space between sites. The entire campground is in the woods, so each site is completely wooded. All roads and campsites are gravel, there is very little grass. If you are looking for grass to play on, they do have a large mowed area in along the road that is perfect. There is also a small playground for kids. Our children have a lot of fun on the playground and just running around our campsite. We don't need a pool, because there is an amazing public beach 5 minutes away in Bailey's Harbor. Other than the playground and very small camp store, there are no other amenities in the campground, but you don't really miss them because there is so much to do around Door County.

    There are tent only sites, pull through sites, and sites that will accommodate popup campers up to large pull behind campers. Seasonal sites are interspersed throughout the campground. All seasonal campers that we have met are very friendly. There are two bathroom buildings that have showers, one at the front of the campground and one at the back (which also houses 1 washer and 1 dryer). Bathrooms and showers have always been very clean. There are also porta potties by the tent only camping sites. There are also charging stations by the porta potties, since the tent only sites do not have electricity. Tents are allowed on electric only and water and electric sites. Owners are very accommodating and will allow you to put a camper and tent on the same site also. If needed, there are also sites which allow you to hook up to the septic system or you can drain your tank when you leave.

    Campground is dog friendly if your dog is on leash. They do sell firewood for $15 per wheelbarrow full (you fill, so you can get your money's worth on firewood if you stack it right). They do also allow you to bring in your own firewood. Owners allow campers to put charges for firewood and things bought in the store to be put on a tab that you can then close when you check out.

    This campground does not fill up too quickly. Depending on the time of year, you don't need much advance notice to book a site. If you would like to book for cherry season they recommended calling 4-6 weeks in advance. Otherwise I generally reserve a few weeks before arrival. They do provide a campground map on their website, so you can look ahead and choose your site. If you want one of the larger sites (pull through ones), I would suggest calling sooner rather than later because it sounds like those fill up faster.

    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.

    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.

Guide to Luxemburg

Peninsula State Park and nearby campgrounds offer affordable tent camping options near Luxemburg, Wisconsin. The area features diverse ecosystems with mixed hardwood forests, limestone bluffs, and shoreline access along Green Bay and Lake Michigan. Most tent sites in the region require advanced reservations during peak summer months, with rates ranging from $18-35 per night depending on amenities and location.

What to do

Bike the trail network: Peninsula State Park features extensive biking opportunities connecting multiple campgrounds and attractions. "This is one of my favorite places to camp, as the campgrounds are spacious and clean. Also lots of great hiking trails and points of interests," notes one Welcker's Point visitor.

Water activities: The waterfront locations allow for swimming, kayaking and boating throughout Door County. "On Lake Michigan this campground has boating, biking, swimming, hiking, camping, great store, lighthouse...well clearly it has it all. Best sunsets ever," reports one camper about Peninsula State Park.

What campers like

Central location: Door County's camping options provide convenient access to regional attractions. "This is in the middle of Door county, centrally located for exploring all Door County has to offer," explains a visitor to Harbour Village Campground & Water Park.

Family amenities: Many campgrounds offer activities specifically for children. "We had stayed for three days over the Father's Day weekend and had a great time. Plenty of things to do for the kids, swimming pond was a ton of fun, and the sites were big and spacious," shares one Harbour Village camper.

Seasonal beauty: Different times of year offer unique experiences. "I don't think there has been a time where we went to Door County without visiting Peninsula! It is kind of a family tradition. It's wonderful in any season, but fall is my favorite with the lookout and all the beautiful trees!"

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Coverage can be unreliable in parts of the region. According to one reviewer at Peninsula State Park, "Don't plan on having any cell phone reception with AT&T. 90% of the time I was at my campsite my phone was in SOS mode. You need to drive out to the park entrance to get reliable reception."

Bathroom facilities: Quality varies between campgrounds and sections. For example, at Welcker's Point, "There are flush toilets and showers that could use a remodel or a deep cleaning. You're really close to the bay here, and the Sunset Bike Trail goes right alongside this campground."

Water access considerations: Some campsites offer better water access than others. "Campsites close to the boat launch are more secluded. Stayed at site 854 which had private access to the water, plenty of shade, and secluded from other sites," recommends one visitor about camping at Peninsula State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Water park options: For families seeking additional entertainment, consider campgrounds with water features. "This was a nice (Big) campground. We had a large, private pull through site. There was a pool and a slow water slide for the kids. The campground had fun activities for the kids," reports a visitor to Harbour Village.

Beach conditions: Beaches may vary in size and suitability for young swimmers. One camper noted about Peninsula State Park, "The beach was very nice, though not very large."

Kayak considerations: Evaluate water conditions before bringing small watercraft. "If you are planning on kayaking in the lake, our little kayaks could barely take it it was difficult paddling. Very nice park overall, but I wish the boat launch was more kayak friendly. Steep and a lot of gravel," advises one visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Check specific site dimensions before booking if camping with larger vehicles. According to one experienced camper at Peninsula State Park, "If you are camping RV style, you may want to check out the site you would like to reserve to be sure it will accommodate your vehicle."

Limited hookups: Most campgrounds offer limited or no hookups for tent camping near Luxemburg. "These sites are non-electric/no hookups. The dump station and water fill is near Tennison Bay Campground," explains one visitor about Welcker's Point.

Seasonal crowds: Expect higher visitor numbers during peak seasons. "The park overall was also very crowded, but that's expected with a popular state park like this," notes one summer visitor to Peninsula State Park.
