Best RV Parks & Resorts near Manitowoc, WI

Manitowoc area RV parks range from full-service resorts to smaller establishments catering to different styles of travel. Village Inn on the Lake in Two Rivers offers full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service within view of Lake Michigan, while Scheffel's Hideaway Campground provides RV sites with water, sewer, and electric connections open from April through December. "The sites are a little small but the hospitality of the owners/hosts ensure that we'll be back," noted one visitor about Kewaunee RV & Campground, which features water and sewer hookups. Plymouth Rock Camping Resort accommodates big rigs on their spacious pull-through RV pads, though some reviewers mention the sites in the middle section lack privacy and shade.

Most RV parks near Manitowoch maintain seasonal operations, typically closing between October and April due to harsh Wisconsin winters. Full hookup sites generally include 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections, though amenities vary significantly between locations. One camper shared that "the RV sites are small... if you have a neighbor with a slide out then you lose half of your green space" at Village Inn on the Lake. Dump stations are available at most parks including Stop-N-Dock Marina & RV Park, which earned positive reviews for its waterfront location. Pet policies vary across properties, with most allowing dogs but imposing breed restrictions or designated walking areas. During peak summer months and fall color season, advance reservations are strongly recommended as lakeside sites fill quickly.

    Kettle Moraine State Forest Long Lake Campground

    this is a BIG campground

    We had been to this area three years earlier, and stayed at Mauthe lake. That suited us better because it is motorboat free, and we have a canoe. Long lake is more suited for powerboats. the sites are also large and would handle big rigs. There are six different campground loops, none near the lake (though the 700 loop has a trail to the boat launch). We stayed in the lower 900 loop, the smallest. Our site, 906, was about 30 feet from site 730. all the sites in this loop are large and deep with the exceptions of 908,910, 912 which are right up against the road and have no privacy. sites 713 & 705 run into each other and are the best for a large group and a pull-through if you get them together.
    Pit toilets only. Fire rings are decent. Wood is available 24/7 through a huge "vending machine" that costs $6 (a five and a one, no change) Wood from the shed costs a dollar less, but only when the ranger is at the front gate.
    There's a beach with a concession stand and a separate boat ramp with parking.
    We went canoeing at the very small nearby Silver lake and had it all to ourselves.
    Sad news is that the Parkside general store, with it's ice cream and home-made maple candies is out of business. Zahn's trading post is temporarily closed, and the Woodland Creek Supper club (both in New Prospect) was undergoing renovation when we were there, a shame as we loved it last time.

    Brown County Reforestation Campground

    Big rig friendly

    Great place to stay! Big rig friendly! Gravel pads and each site comes with a picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms in the campground were clean and I believe there were showers.

    Kohler-Andrae State Park

    Kohler-Andre

    Living rather close to this park, this is our "go-to" place to camp. It has a great variety of activities available. There is a beach AND a dog beach so it's pet-friendly. Dogs are not allowed on all of the trails, but there are many you can take them on. Being on the water, you can swim, kayak, fish, or just soak up some rays! There are also non-reservable sites available. There are many electric sites, clean bath houses, friendly campground hosts, some rather private sites as well. It's a short walk from the campsites to the lake. Our favorite site is next to the woods where we have seen ample deer, turkey, foxes, and birds. Close to town if you need supplies, firewood and ice is available in the park.

    Mapleview Campground

    Joyce and Stan make this place an Oasis

    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.

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    Escarpment

    Grew up near here and used to backpack across Lake Winnebago to winter camp and hike in January when the park was empty and no mosquitos to chew on my butt.

    Indian Burial Mounds, old kilns, trails, hills, observation deck, sledding in winter, and lots of other things to do all year round.

    This Park is actually on an escarpment that winds around Lake Michigan all the way to Niagara Falls. Limestone cliffs for climbing on, scenic.

    in the summer the lake gets green with algae and there is a summer stretch wherever the lake flies hatch and get thick.

    Good park for families. Close to small towns for resupply. Appleton & Green Bay are within striking distance as is Lake Michigan.

    Bring arctic survival gear in January...subzero temps with wind chills in the negative teens is normal. Fantastic cross country skiing/snowshoeing.

    Hickory Oaks Campground

    Hickory oaks

    Very nice place to camp. Quite and friendly. Small but accommodates all types of campers. Has 30 and 50 Amp hookups. Tenting up to cabin, they have two. My second year long term camping here. On the edge of the city and close to everything.

    Sleepy Hollow Farms

    Convenient to the highway

    General: There is both a north and a south part to this campground with a total of 178 sites. The sites in the south part are all on a grassy field and there is a small man-made lake with an inflatable play area. The sites in the north part are a mix of full hook-up and tent sites. There are also small cabins (only one of which has a bathroom) and three “condos”. These all had air-conditioners, but I did not see the inside of them. The north unit features a pond, which I was disappointed to discover was algae-filled and completely green. 

    Site Quality: Some are pull-through and some back-in. Some sites have electric and water hookups, some have picnic tables, and some have fire rings (but not all sites have all of these amenities). Only a handful have concrete pads; the rest are all on grass. 

    Our impression of Sleepy Hollow was influenced in part by the fact that it poured rain for much of our overnight stay. The roads were all dirt and with the rain, became very muddy along with the campsites as well. When leaving the next day, we had some challenges backing out of our site with the amount of mud. There is no clear delineation between the sites other than where the electric and water hookups are placed. 

    Bathhouse: Was very clean (in both the north and south units of the campground). Showers are available for a fee (five minutes for$1.00) but we did not use them so cannot comment on how well they worked. 

    Activities/Amenities: In the south unit, there is a small manmade lake with an inflatable play structure and plenty of life jackets. The color is a beautiful Caribbean blue, but it did not look natural, and I was not sure of the source of the color. We were there on a weekday in September, and no one was using the lake. There is a small bar and grill (in the north section) and a concession (south unit) on-site, but both were closed when we were there. Firewood was available (15 pieces for $10); we asked and were granted permission to use the golf cart to bring the wood to our site. Other than the lake, there really is nothing offered for recreation. 

    We chose this campground for its location; it is very close to Highway 41 in Oshkosh (you will hear road noise) and we were meeting family there. We checked in online the day before and arrived at 3:30 pm. No one was in the office when we arrived but the family members we were meeting had arranged for us to camp in the site next to them (not the original one we had selected). This campground is VERY close to EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association), and I imagine it would be completely full during the annual EAA convention. For us, it was a convenient location but aside from spending time with our family, the reason we chose this campground.

    Harrington Beach State Park Campground

    Somewhat isolated sites

    This is a nice park with very friendly staff and 50 amp power. No water or sewer but does have a dump station. The sites are gravel but very unlevel. To level my 35 foot motor home my rear tires had to come off the ground by at least 6 inches. The sites are bordered by natural grasses and foliage. That provides a feeling of isolation. If not for the unlevel sites I could easily give it 5 stars.

    Long Lake Campground — Kettle Moraine State Forest-Northern Unit-Iansr

    Site 907

    Our site was a bit less secluded than I’d prefer but still very nice. The loop we were on the lower 900 loop, had quite a few sites that could be combined to be group sites. Two sites completely adjoining or with very little separating them. This loop would be good for an option if the group sites are unavailable. Especially the inner loop sites that back up to each other. We walked some of the other loops and the did not all seem this way, stuff especially in the 700’s loop being a bit more wooded with some nice sites being my favorites, and also some nice sites in the upper 900’s loop that were spaced out nicely. Great hiking nearby, flush toilets, showers, nice little beach, plenty of downed wood around and also available to purchase 5$ a stack, pet friendly except no dogs allowed on the beach. There is a dog friendly picnic area near the water though. Nice get away pretty close to Milwaukee, Chicago, etc...


Guide to Manitowoc

Campgrounds near Manitowoc, Wisconsin offer diverse options beyond traditional RV parks. Located along Lake Michigan's western shore at an elevation of 600-650 feet, the Manitowoc area experiences cold winters with lake-effect snow and mild summers with average July temperatures around 70°F. The camping season typically runs from April through October, with fall color viewing opportunities in late September through mid-October when nighttime temperatures regularly drop into the 40s.

What to do

Beach access and swimming: 10-minute walk from Scheffel's Hideaway Campground to Lake Michigan beaches. "This campground is right next to Point Beach in Two Rivers, Wisconsin," notes a visitor. "It's along part of the Ice Age Trail that leads to the Lake Michigan Beach."

Sand dunes exploration: 1-mile boardwalk trail at Kohler-Andrae State Park runs parallel to Lake Michigan. "Hiking trails are great, especially the ones through the dunes," reports one camper. Another states, "This park has it all... spacious campsites, sand dunes, trails, beach, gorgeous sunsets!"

Caving: Seasonal guided tours available at Maribel Caves near Devils River Campground. "The New Hope Cave is only open to tour 1 weekend of the month. It is usually the 3rd Saturday," explains one reviewer. "If you go when it is raining you won't be able to go in many of the caves as they become flooded but it does make some really cool waterfalls!"

What campers like

Heated indoor pool access: Available year-round at Village Inn on the Lake. "The indoor pool is so nice! It's a saltwater pool and they have a separate hot tub," shares one visitor. "They have a small Mini Golf Onsite! Location is great!"

Immaculate grounds: Scheffel's Hideaway Campground receives consistent praise for cleanliness. "They have been in business here for 10 years and it looks like everything is brand new," notes one camper. Another adds: "Very clean, and well cared for! Nice playground and aesthetically pleasing!"

Swimming pond: Devils River Campground offers a chemical-treated swimming area. "A few years ago they tore out the old small swimming pool and put in a large chemically treated swimming pond. The swimming is pretty good and there is now plenty of space," notes a regular visitor. Another camper mentions, "One of the season campers had some giant inflatable climbing/bouncing things for the pond, so that kept the kids and some adults occupied."

What you should know

Site privacy varies significantly: At Plymouth Rock Camping Resort, site quality depends on location. "I didn't like our site no trees I felt like I was in my front yard," reports one camper. Another mentions, "The park is mostly seasonal and the short term sites are literally over a mile of tight, windy road to get to them."

Noise considerations: Several campgrounds report proximity to roadways or racetracks. "The great thing about this place is there is a lot to do. They have an outdoor movie, and lots of other activities. It is a bit pricey, but at least you are getting amenities," mentions one camper about Plymouth Rock Camping Resort, though they note it's "really close to a racetrack."

Site limitations: Many rv parks in Manitowoc, Wisconsin area have size restrictions or crowding issues. One visitor to Apple Creek Campground notes, "My wife and I usually do not like being so close to other campers... but we decided to stay here cause it's close to my in-laws." At Devils River Campground, a camper reports, "We have a 30 foot camper and the site we were on, let's just say we had a hell of a time backing up and smashed one of our back windows in the truck that's how tight it was."

Tips for camping with families

Check for swimming options: Kohler-Andrae State Park offers natural beach swimming. "Gorgeous place to camp! Everything was beautiful, this park has it all... there is a large open area and play area for kids to run around walkable from the camping, lots of little paths to explore!" notes one family camper.

Consider rainy day activities: Apple Creek Campground provides a pool but limited on-site activities. "Peaceful quiet campground with a nice pool, well stocked fishing pond for catch and release. Only downside, there is nothing to do at this campground, and you have to drive 30 minutes to the city," reports one visitor.

Plan for mosquito protection: Bug pressure can be significant in summer months. One camper at Devils River Campground warns, "The only negative with our stay (which the campground can't help) were the mosquitos, flies, and bees. So bring bug spray!!!"

Tips from RVers

Satellite signal challenges: Tree cover varies between Manitowoc rv parks. At Kewaunee RV & Campground, one RVer notes, "The sites are open but enough space for privacy as well, if you do the end sites. The middle sites are pretty open so there isn't a ton of room for privacy."

Power management: Most Manitowoc area campgrounds offer 50-amp service for larger RVs. At Apple Creek Campground, one RVer reported, "We stayed 6 nights in our 36 ft motor home with tow. Even though we were on a hill the campsite was level. We had plenty of room for rv and tow... good water pressure and power worked great."

Site leveling: Terrain varies across the region. At Stop-N-Dock Marina & RV Park, one visitor recommends, "Get site 1 if possible," suggesting some sites may be preferable for leveling or positioning. The campground features "Water, sewer and electricity setups. Close to amenities."
