Best RV Parks & Resorts near Menomonee Falls, WI

I didn't stay here but I did walk through the place to get to know it. This is an RV campground, I did not see any places for tent camping. 

There is a nice playground and four sand volleyball courts. Staying in the campground allows for easy lake access. Be warned, do not park a car/boat trailer and take off in the lake, they're serious about towing non-campers. 

This campground caters to RVs, mobile homes, permanent dwellings and semi-permanent RVs parked to stay. RV hookups with electrical and water/ sewer.

The large sandy beach has lots of space, easy access to both the water and a bar and grill with outdoor seating and lots of umbrellas. The beach features a few beach games and a small amount of seating on the sand. Not many trees for shade, RVs are parked out in the open and would be hot in the summer.

Nice little campground with full hook ups and swimming pool. Kids liked it. Owners were awesome.

The state park is larger than expected with decent amenities (boat rentals, concessions, relatively clean pit toilets) and areas designated for trailer camping and tent camping.

We stayed in the Turner South Loop, one of the older tent camping loops, and the age definitely showed. Most of the sites on this loop are pretty worn, with not much privacy. We stayed in T10, but would consider T9 if we returned to this loop for a different reserved site. The prairie loop looked a bit newer with bigger, less worn sites. Both loops had grill pits that were well-maintained for fires and campfire cooking.

Trails were geared more towards horses and bikes, but there are plenty of walking paths, and we were able to find some hidden trails along the lake (read: unofficial). Overall, a place for relaxing and leisurely strolls and not hiking.

Great for the times that we have to work weekends and still want to go camping. We can both drive to work and then come back to relax. Close to some great places for antiquing if you don't want to hike the trails or fish. The only big minus is the full hook ups fill up fast no spur of the moment camping unless it is early or late in the season. The other thing is ALL Illinois State Parks are now enforcing a no alcohol policy even if you are on your own site.

This is a relatively small, private campground mostly for RVs though there are some very nice sites that would be lovely for tents. There are a dozen tent sites that back up to a very charming river, each one has a picnic table and fire pit. The view of the river from these sites is lovely. Adding to the waterworks, there is a cute pond with a charming fountain in the center of the RV sites, and a nice horseshoes pit. There are a number of RV sites with full hookups. 

I spoke with the owner and they did not have tent camping in 2020. They were worried about people in too close proximity in the restroom. In 2020 they only allowed RVs that had their own restroom facilities. The owner told me that maybe there will be tent camping in 2021.

The Fon Du Lac Fairgrounds was a great place to park our camper with full hook ups. It was great to be able to stay in the middle of the city/town versus on the outskirts like most normal campgrounds.

We did not use the campgrounds bathrooms or showers but from their website they had some available. We were close to our neighbors on either side, but the park wasn’t full so it did not feel like we were on top of one another.

We did have to buy two extenders for our sewer hose as our 38 foot rig’s sewer spigot was too far from the sewer hook up. This was an affordable place to stay and was within walking distance to a coffee shop and a pizza place. The staff was very friendly upon arriving and leaving. We paid $25 per night.

We stayed at State Fair RV Park in Milwaukee for two months while waiting to retire and work out bugs in our new RV. The park was all cement, it was clean and quiet. Laundry and shower facilities were kept very clean as well. There were plenty of grassy areas to take our dog out to potty. The Park is close to many restaurants and shopping. It is also the only RV park in Milwaukee.

Some of the people I met here say "it's going downhill" but they said that because the breakfast donuts used to be free and so was the ice cream socials. However if I remember correctly the donuts were $1.50 and the ice cream was $3.50. so far from expensive. There are bicycles for rent but they are broken however I've never seen bicycles for rent at a campground before anyways.

As for the campground. It's fine it has nice level pull through sites with clean water and full hook ups. My campsite was missing a bench but I asked for one and was promptly given one. This is what I would consider a value campground so it's in a different category than like a Jellystone or a high end campground. There's a small beach with some floats that have seen better days but are still working just fine. There's a dunk tank free of charge, a bouncr pillow and trampoline. The staff is top notch with great customer service.

It's a small campground but if you have younger children they will love it plus it's connected to the little amerrika amusement park which makes it so much more worth it.

All in all I would come back if I wanted a value friendly quite campground with things for the kids to do and friendly staff.

For a note there was a burn ban from the city issued to the campground while I was there. It was a bummer but definitely not the campgrounds fault and it didn't effect my review.

Perfect campground for what it is! Big paved parking lot with full hookups. Very close to downtown, right off of interstate. Clean facilities. We were visiting family downtown and it was very convenient.

I would avoid at all costs. Country View down the road in Mukwonago is much better and at a lower cost. At least you get full hookups, great management and it’s not full of run down full timer sites.

Great for RV camping but not quiet a bit ! Like being in a noisy city! 👎🏼

really a parking lot for Rv camping off an interstate. very loud and not family place but good for over night.

The Pinewoods Campground is an odd mix. The comfort station (ie flush toilets with sinks and baby changing station) and shower facility is well maintained and centrally located to the camp ground with nearby playground, field area, and a little free library. The bathrooms located closest to the campsites are pit toilets that are lit at night, toilet paper provided, and hand sanitizer. The individual campsites are good sized (some with electric hookup for RVs) with dirt/pine needle ground instead of gravel areas which are more comfortable for tents. The tall trees keep the area shaded and cool even on hot summer days. The shade limits ground growth which pro - limits mosquitoes, but con - leaves clear eye-lines from one site to the neighbors. Kettle Moraine Forest - South as a park area has miles of trails for hiking, biking, skiing, and horse back riding. But individual trail areas are spread miles apart and driving or biking between sites is often required.

Overall its a great area for families or inexperienced/unsure campers but if you're looking to get out into nature and away from civilization this isn't the place for you. Also if you are a family with young children then loop 1 (campsites 1-36) which is a 24hour quiet zone should not be your first choice.

Sites are medium sized. We had full hookup which was nice. Plenty of things to keep kids busy. Store has lots of stuff and necessities. Was alittle more expensive than some other places but they had a large variety within. Staff all seemed to be new and weren't all on the same page half the time. They charged $8-12 for visitors which was ridicules. 70 year old people had to pay $13 because they might use their facilities.

This place surprised me. It’s relatively close to town and yet it’s miles down a dead end road so it’s really quiet. The host was super nice. Friendly welcomes are the best! The sites are large and open. We were here when it was empty so filled sites might make a different experience.

Sites have electric and there is a dump station so it’s set up for RVs but there is space for tents too. Flushing toilets and showers were an unexpected treat. 

The lake is just across the road so bring your fishing gear or canoe. There is a small park by the shore but not really any place to walk my dog. We did laps and Dakota was perfectly happy. 

This place is worth a stop if you want a quiet spot to enjoy life.

While this isn’t the most amazing RV parking lot you’ll come across, it does have some of the absolute most amazing waterfront real estate with 850 feet of sweeping views of nearby Rock River (to the west) and Lake Koshkonong (to the east), which is Wisconsin’s second largest lake. Plus, um, there’s the word ‘Bar’ in the name of this campground – so HUGE points for not only ensuring that camping is on equal footing with everyone’s favorite pastime, but EXTRA points for ensuring that the restaurant and bar is actually decent and has such arresting views. 

The campground itself is pretty decent size with about 120 individual RV slots, but what I really appreciated most is the layout of this place, which is quite simple and provides decent space for some (not all) areas. Upon entry, you’ll head north towards the lakefront, before noting that the main bar & restaurant is to your immediate left on the other side of the first RV patch (sites #111–117). You’ll see a second RV area also on your left (sites#91– 110) that follow a very simple, short tight loop that wraps around to the front of the restaurant and bar … and come with their own level of noise and traffic. Continuing straight ahead, there will be an area for RV and boat storage, before reaching the heart of the campground where there’s 3 small pods of RV patches (sites #61–72; #47–60; and #36–46 respectively), which in this third bloc, you’ll discover the shower house / restroom facility. Flanked to the west (sites #79–90) and south (sites #73–80) these 3 small pods are completely surrounded by RV’s on all sides. It’s kind of like an RV maze that is somehow impossible to get lost in! At this point, to the right, you’ll find 3 individual lanes with the lakefront row (sites #1–13) of course being the most popular, preceded by a shorter second row (sites #14–20) and then the third road (sites #21–30). 

Of course, the prize here at Pettits Lakeview Bar& Campground is the beach itself with unobstructed views of and access to the massive and beautiful Lake Koshkonong. At this point, you’ll come across an actual beachhead with swimming area (and did I mention that there’s bar service here?!) as well as a separate beach picnic area on the other side of the multi-slip pier that you can rock (yes, that was intended) up here from nearby Rock River. And while the front of the property has its own bar & restaurant, make no mistake about it, the REAL attraction is the bar & restaurant back here by the beach. So you read that right - there’s actually not 1, but 2 bars & restaurants here. Back by this second waterfront bar & restaurant, there’s also a separate party room where they have live music and private events. Why would anyone need to leave?! 

From an amenities standpoint, the roads are very well appointed with small stone, making it incredibly easy to get around, coupled with fantastic bathroom and shower facilities, as well as all of the basic water, electric (30 / 50 electric amp) and sewage hook-ups. I even love the flip flop RV address holders. Nice and classy, yet evoking a carefree easy vibe all at the same time. The community is warm and inviting and there’s a lot of reasons not to ever leave this place – in fact, I didn’t even come with a boat, yet got invited out every ... single ... day while I was there to crack some brews on the water. Nice. 

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) While the clarity of the lake is quite low, this fishing hole yields some pretty amazing Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye and Catfish; (2) If you have your own watercraft and are looking for some really cool different spots to check out, head on westward towards Rock River where you’ll row for a good few miles before reaching Indianford where you’ll discover a nice little sliver of an island – we stopped here with a blanket and picnic and had an amazing afternoon in the sun; (3) While there’s no shortage of distractions to keep the kiddos busy, if you are looking for a change of scenery for a day, head south to Palmer Park where this aquatic park has a lot to offer from wading pools, picnic areas, waterslides and multiple pools. 

Happy Camping!

This pretty nice park is obviously aimed at kids and kids at heart.  It has a lot of amenities that were not available when we were there.  They have their hand out for everything which can make your stay rather expensive.  The sit itself is pretty nice with level sites and good water and electric.  The bath house was a little disappointing as there was no hot water and we were told that it had been that way all week.  Wifi is purchased and not the best even though there were hardly anyone else in the park.

We stayed here because it was close to people we wanted to see and our other choices were not available.
