    Daisy Field Campground — Potawatomi State Park

    Costs keep rising

    General: Located along Sturgeon Bay in the southern part of Door County, Potawatomi’s Daisy Field Campground is divided into two loops: north and south. In addition to paying the campsite fee, you need to pay a daily ($11) or annual ($38) for an out-of-state fee (slightly less for residents). The gate attendant tried to charge us for three days - we were camping for two nights but we convinced him this should not be the case. These additional fees are making private campgrounds much closer in cost and a bit more desirable. Note: you are near the Door County regional airport; we heard many planes in the early evening, but it quieted down later. 

    Site Quality/Facilities: 125 sites in two loops. Gravel pads except for the two handicap accessible sites in the south loop plus one handicap accessible cabin in the south loop. Be aware that in the south loop, many (but not all) of the even-numbered sites on the north side (10-46) slope upward and/or sideways while many of the odd-numbered sites (33-43) tend to slope downward. The sites on the south side of the loop appeared to be more level. Our site (40) was challenging for our camper van to find a level spot (it tended to slope sideways no matter what we did). Even-numbered sites in the north loop (86-102) appeared to be more level and they have a filtered bay view but they are right on the road. Each site has a fire ring and large picnic table; some are electric and some with no hook-ups. The sites are all wooded and there is reasonable separation between them. There is a nature center, camp store and sports rentals available between the two loops. Firewood is also available for $7 a bundle. 

    Bathhouse: There is only one bath/shower facility between the two loops which was not nearly adequate for 125 sites (this is not the first Wisconsin state park we’ve been in that has had only one bath house for the entire campground). It was reasonably clean, but it looked like their idea of cleaning was to blast it with a power hose as the floors, sinks, and toilets were extremely wet just after cleaning. The showers were ok, but you have to keep pressing the button every minute to keep the water flowing. There are several vault toilets – I saw two in the south loop and one in the north loop. 

    Activities/Amenities: Several hiking trails lead directly from the campground. We hiked the Ice Age Trail from the campground to the observation tower but were dismayed to discover it is permanently closed due to structural issues. There are sport rentals (bikes, kayaks, etc. available) which is a nice amenity. 

    Don’t get me wrong – we enjoyed our stay here but with state parks increasing their costs (especially for non-residents), it was only $7 less to stay here in a tent site than it did at the private campground we stayed at the previous night with more amenities and cleaner/more modern bathrooms.

    Hickory Oaks Campground

    Best option in Oshkosh

    All the other campgrounds in OshKosh are near the airport, which makes sense since the biggest event each year is the EVAA air show. None of them have trees.
    Hickory Oaks has it's own airfield and lots and lots of trees. They even have a mini-lake (4 acres).
    There are all types of RV sites, tenting/primitive sites and group sites, some small cabins as well. We camped in site 60 because we arrived after dark, and Cindy suggested that our first choice, #67 might be too hard to find at night. There is only one street light, and it's by site #1 and the swim area.
    The map doesn't really convey what an oasis of trees this place is. To the West is the runway and beyond that, a large grassy hill (it's actually landfill). To the east in a rural road running along the lake. To the north, in the distance is a prison.  That all sounds worse than it is, it's a lovely campground.
     There are a few things for sale in the office, but you're so close to town you can get everything there. Cindy the operator is extremely nice and helpful.
    Fire pits are 30" rings with no grate, Tables seem smaller than average.
    If you're visiting in the summer, be sure to visit the Farmer's Market , Saturdays on Main Street, also Wagner's Market for the best meats, deli and beverages.  The Paine museum & gardens and the city museum are both worth visits as well.

    Tranquil Timbers

    NOT PET FRIENDLY

    Tranquil 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!

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    Close to town but surrounded by nature.

    This is a state run campground that provides plenty of hiking, biking and horse riding trails. There is also access to Lake Winnebago for boating and swimming. The camp sites are all either partially or fully shaded with a good amount of privacy for each site. Plenty or pit toilets are provided and there are also plumbed toilets and showers available on the campground.

    This campground is perfect for a weekend getaway or for those families just starting out. It is close enough to town to be able to run in and get forgotten items. There are plenty of playground equipment for kids to run and climb on. If you are looking for a rustic get away this may not be exactly what you are looking for but it is a great spot to get out of the city for a day or two.

    Daisy Field Campground — Potawatomi State Park

    Great State Park Campground Near Town

    Overall this camp was a great experience. There are nice trails that run by the water. The sites were nice with fire ring, table and bench. The sites were near one another but vegetation between to give some barrier. The mosquitoes were pretty heavy in late July. There was one shower house that seemed to be pretty busy most of the time. There was also a child's playground with lots of space. Overall it was a great place to visit and check out the area.

    Peshtigo River Campground

    Great for Families and a weekend getaway!

    I grew up about 10 minutes away from this campground and it is still an awesome place to go when we are looking for a “staycation”!

    It’s right by an elementary school so it’s a very safe area, across the road from an AMAZING playground that all ages will love, also about 50ft from a beach! The beach isn’t huge, and is open to the public so at times it gets crowded but is very safe and clean. The beach is on the peshtigo river and is great for kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, jet skiing, and tubing! There is a boat launch less than half a mile towards town on the river that is open to the public! Also includes a skatepark!

    There also are two pavilions on parks grounds, both covered. One is smaller on the beach and includes grills and tables, and the other one has a stage on it for performances!

    This campground is a mix between RV’s and tenting so you get the best of both worlds! Forget some necessities? No Worries! You’re a 10 minuet drive from Walmart and within walking distance of a cafe and gas stations! There are bathrooms, water hook ups, picnic tables, fire pits, and parking.

    (I unfortunately do not have any recent pictures because I lost all of them but google really does a great job of showing what I’m talking about!)

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    Nice state park with lots to do

    We went to High Cliff over the 4th of July, so it was quite busy. 

    We booked sites 22 and 23 which are a double site. Pretty good space, we were able to fit 4 tents and a sleeping hammock. There is overflow parking directly across from the site. There is a main hiking trail behind the sites, but right beyond that are some nice rock formations. A short walk down that path is to a nice look out, especially for sunset. 

    The beach was very busy, but it was a holiday weekend. There is a large grassy area above the beach with grills and picnic tables. The water at the beach was very mucky when we were there. 

    The marina was nice. We didn’t have a problem parking. The water was very choppy, so we didn’t stay out long. 

    There are some nice trails. We saw a lot of families with bikes. The park is also very close to a town with a grocery store (Dicks Family Foods) if you need to stock up. We had a fish fry in town which was delicious!

    High Cliff State Park Campground

    So much to do for everyone

    No matter what your skill level you can find a trail here from easy to challenging to hike or bike.  There is a beach, a marina, Lake Winnebago, horse trails, hiking, biking and pet beach and picnic area.  The park is very clean and pretty.  There is a playground, several vault toilet areas spread around and a shower house.   Some sites have electric and there is a dump station and water fill up.   

    Both AT &T and Verizon provided good service and the ability to stream.  Spaces are large and have many  trees for shade and privacy.

Guide to New Franken

Cabins near New Franken, Wisconsin offer outdoor recreation with easy access to Lake Michigan's western shore. The area sits at approximately 600 feet elevation and experiences moderate summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F. Wisconsin's Door Peninsula creates a distinctive camping environment with limestone bluffs and varied forest cover that affects cabin site selection.

What to do

Hiking on the Niagara Escarpment: High Cliff State Park Campground includes multiple trails along dramatic limestone cliffs. "My favorite thing about this park and campground is the hiking. Part of the Niagra escarpment there are plenty of cliffs and fun views along the trails," notes Racheal M. The park offers cabin accommodations with nearby scenic overlooks.

Fishing opportunities: Mapleview Campground features a lake with family-friendly fishing access from their cabin sites. Sam P. describes it as having "a beautiful lake with many family friendly things to do. The people are friendly and they have clean showers and bathrooms along with laundry."

Winter exploration: Wisconsin cabin rentals extend beyond summer months at several locations. At Daisy Field Campground — Potawatomi State Park, cabins operate year-round, allowing access to winter trails. One visitor notes, "Coming was great. Needs some improvements on the hiking areas," suggesting varied trail conditions throughout seasons.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Door County KOA Holiday maintains well-kept cabin areas and bathhouses. "The bathroom and shower building is wonderful and kept very clean," reports Megan, which differentiates their cabin experience from more rustic options.

Spacious sites: Cabin renters appreciate adequate spacing at Peshtigo Badger Park Campground. Scott D. observed, "Campsites are nicely spaced with some large trees for shade. Generous portions of firewood are available." This spacing provides privacy not mentioned in other cabin locations.

Cabin variety: Apple Creek Campground offers diverse cabin styles beyond standard layouts. Lynn N. describes it as a "Peaceful quiet campground with a nice pool, well stocked fishing pond for catch and release." The campground operates seasonally from April through October.

What you should know

Seasonal water limitations: Water systems at some cabin facilities have unpredictable availability. At High Cliff State Park, Brandl B. cautions, "Only gripe is the uncertain schedule they have for turning on water for the season. First week or two of may is a safe bet, but no promises."

Varied pet policies: Countryside Motel & RV Sites permits pets at their cabin rentals but with specific restrictions. Their rural setting provides "Awesome place for those that want have a campfire and star gaze," according to Liz M., though cabin renters should confirm current pet policies before booking.

Reservation windows: Summer cabin rentals fill quickly, especially for holiday weekends. Scott K. at Apple Creek Campground suggests planning ahead: "Site we got was not the best, but worked out OK. Site was behind the main y coming in to camp, so lots of traffic."

Tips for camping with families

Water recreation options: Wisconsin cabin rentals with pool access provide alternatives to beach swimming. According to Andrew C., Tranquil Timbers has "3 pool areas one for really little ones with a 18" pool and a fun splash pad which are all fenced off so adults can sit in there and not worry about they straying to deeper pools."

Playground facilities: The cabin rental at Point Beach State Forest includes access to children's play areas. Renee R. mentions, "This campground is situated across from Lake Michigan, with access to trails, sand-ridged beaches and a lighthouse," creating multiple activity options for families.

Tips from RVers

Accessibility considerations: Level cabin sites matter for visitors with mobility concerns. Robert O. from Apple Creek Campground notes, "Even though we were on a hill the campsight was level. We had plenty of room for rv and tow." This applies equally to cabin access paths.

Utility connections: When selecting Wisconsin cabin rentals near New Franken, check power availability.

Great antenna coverage and T Mobile signal," indicating reliable service for those working remotely from cabins.
