GuideThe interior sites are a little cramped and may not accommodate larger RVs; however, the access to Lake Michigan more than makes up for it. There is a really cool dog park on the beach. While not something I typically look for in a review, the dump sites are new and excellent.
GuideTranquil Timbers advertises pet friendly but they ARE NOT pet friendly. If your dog makes any kind of noise whatsoever, they are NOT welcome. Motorcycles and noisy kids however, park approved!
TravelerLiving 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.
ScoutWe stayed 700, enough space, good hiking trail, nice beach. But the pet picnic area was pretty disappointing. Just a small opening for a dog jumping in the water. All the nice beach area was not open for a dog. My pup was pretty sad.
RangerOur 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...
ScoutI have always loved this campground since I was a teen. We went this past labor day weekend and loved the nice big sites, the paved roads for bikes and rollerblading and the beaches were really clean. We loved just walking around the paths to and from the lake to our site. People were very respectful the firewood was kept in a dry spot (always a pet peeve of mine, some campgrounds dont have the best storage system). Overall great place and we will be back very soon.
LegendWoodsy 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.
ScoutThe park:
LegendPoint Beach State Forest sits on the Eastern side of Wisconsin along the 5 miles of shores on lake Michigan.
This is a wonderful Park. It can be very busy especially during peak times, so be prepared for crowds! The park offers plenty to do from trails to swimming, and obviously camping.
The park offers two beautiful beaches. One of them being for pets, both of them right on Lake Michigan.
This park has excellent and typically clean shower and bathroom buildings. It offers 127 campsites with 70 of them offering electricity. All of these campgrounds are in walking distance from Lake Michigan but none offering a view of the lake. This park also offers indoor group and outdoor group camp sites! The park also offers two rustic sites. One being for the Ice Age National Scenic trail and one being a kayak campsite which is only accessible from Lake Michigan. Both of these sites are only about a half a mile south of the forest office! The forest office building is beautiful with plenty on display in the clean restrooms. Firewood is also available at the forest office!
There are plenty of amenities near the park as it sits right outside the city of Two Rivers and also not too far from the city of Manitowoc. Being close to the city, there's a grocery store not too far from the park as well as gas stations and shops near the downtown.
Let it be known you do not have to escape the park on weekends for a good meal if you're not in the mood for cooking, this park offers fish fry on Fridays and Saturdays and the food is delicious. It also offers concession stands with snacks and ice cream during the rest of the week.
Be aware of ticks in this park, especially deer ticks. I have personally had a very bad experience during the early fall. I won't go into detail as it was quite a disgusting experience! Despite that, this is a wonderful Park and think it should be on everyone's list for places to camp
Mishicot camping areas lie within Wisconsin's glacially formed landscape, featuring diverse terrain from wetlands to sandy beaches along Lake Michigan. Summer temperatures typically range from 70-85°F during the day, dropping to 50-60°F at night. The area averages 30-40 inches of precipitation annually, with mosquito activity strongest from June through August.
Hiking on Ice Age Trail: The Ice Age Trail connection near Scheffel's Hideaway Campground offers convenient access to Lake Michigan beaches. "This campground is right next to Point Beach in Two Rivers, Wisconsin," notes Ronald B., who appreciated the trail connection to shoreline areas.
Swimming in man-made ponds: Devils River Campground replaced its small pool with a treated swimming pond. As reviewer M E. explains, "The central pond and waterfall were awesome! The only negative with our stay (which the campground can't help) were the mosquitos, flies, and bees. So bring bug spray!!!"
Waterfront activities: Launch boats directly from Seagull Marina and Campground for fishing and water sports. "Great spot that is cheaper than most places nearby... Great location and near to fishing, restaurants and the beach," writes Sam P. The marina provides direct water access for multiple water activities.
Exploring historic sites: Visit the old mill at Devils River Campground for local history. One reviewer noted, "Sometimes they also give a tour of the old mill that is on the grounds. There is a lot of history." Maribel Caves park, located about a mile from the campground, offers additional exploration opportunities.
Clean facilities: Many dog friendly campgrounds near Mishicot maintain exceptionally clean restrooms and shower facilities. At High Cliff State Park Campground, visitors noted, "Bathrooms were clean and well taken care of, staff friendly and helpful." Similarly, at Scheffel's Hideaway, one camper praised the "spotless restrooms and a laundry area on site."
Pet-friendly beach sections: Designated pet areas at Point Beach State Forest allow dogs to enjoy water access. "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," advises Laura M.
Seasonal entertainment: Some campgrounds feature special amenities during peak months. At Devils River Campground, "One of the season campers had some giant inflatable climbing/bouncing things for the pond, so that kept the kids and some adults occupied. The same person also projected a movie in the new covered deck."
Access to multiple landscapes: The region offers a mix of forest and waterfront camping experiences. M E. described Devils River: "There are several things to do - hiking, biking, caves, Lake Michigan, etc. The New Hope Cave is only open to tour 1 weekend of the month."
Water quality varies: Bring drinking water when camping at certain locations. As Terry L. noted about Point Beach State Forest, "The drinking water is not good so be sure to pack enough." This applies especially during high-use periods in summer months.
Site sizes and privacy: Campsite dimensions vary significantly across the area. At Village Inn on the Lake, "The RV sites are small.. if you have a neighbor with a slide out then you lose half of your green space." Consider requesting end sites at some campgrounds for more privacy.
Dump station congestion: Plan accordingly for end-of-weekend departures. "The dump station gets really backed up at the end of the weekend, so heads up," warns one reviewer about Point Beach State Forest.
Weekend vs. weekday atmosphere: Many campgrounds experience significantly different environments based on day of week. M E. noted, "The weekdays are extremely quiet but the weekends get a little busy due to the seasonal sites."
Seasonal closures and maintenance: Several facilities close during winter or require maintenance. Point Beach State Forest "will be closed until May 24, 2024 for maintenance on the waterlines," according to a recent notice. Check individual campground websites for current status before planning.
Pool alternatives: While traditional pools are limited in the area, alternatives exist. At Kewaunee RV & Campground, "The showers were nothing special and the pool was just a small pool, enough to entertain the kids. There was a small playground as well."
Special occasion planning: Staff at pet-friendly campgrounds near Mishicot often provide extra touches for celebrations. One family reported, "Stayed there for our daughters birthday weekend. The owners overheard us talking as we checked in and brought her campfire colors as a gift all wrapped."
Playground access: Most family-oriented campgrounds maintain playground equipment. Ronald B. corrected his initial impression of Scheffel's Hideaway: "In a previous review I stated that there wasn't much for kids to do. I was wrong. There is is a large jungle Jim set near the entrance and there was activity there for the duration of our stay."
Movie nights: Some seasonal campers organize community activities during summer months. At Devils River Campground, families can enjoy impromptu movie screenings, as one reviewer mentioned that seasonal campers sometimes project movies in the covered deck area.
Site positioning: Request specific sites when making reservations. At Village Inn on the Lake Hotel and RV Park, "Get site 1 if possible," recommends theresa H. At Point Beach State Forest, sites near the dog-friendly beach section save considerable walking time for pet owners.
Site selection challenges: Watch for backing difficulties at certain locations. One camper reported at Devils River: "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. D would have been allot better."
Amenity planning: Many campgrounds offer unique amenities that may influence RV site selection. Village Inn on the Lake provides "Indoor Saltwater Pool and Hot Tub" with "Pool Restrooms with showers available for Campers" according to Megan B.
Electrical service: Most campgrounds offer 30/50 amp service, though hookup types vary. Sam P. noted that Mapleview Campground has "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."
