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!
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.
TravelerStayed for the first time at this campground in July and loved it. We stayed on a tent site, it was huge and had electric. I love that the campground is right on the lake and there’s quite a few amenities for people who boat. It is pet friendly and the bathrooms are quite a walk but clean and hot water is available.
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
GuideThe sites on the lake are huge! They are perfect for going with groups of people (Cook on one, set up Games on the other, and you can easily fit two cars out of sight a tent everything… ) however the sites do not have any privacy - the only wooded part is shoreline.
I have a very nice check in/camp store it’s brand new. The main shower house bathrooms are very clean very nice except you have to pay for the shower. Rest of the restaurants throughout this campground our pets toilets.

This is not the best campground I’ve been to but it’s definitely not the worst in fact I go every year with a A group with small kids.
LegendNo 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.
ScoutThis is our go to place every spring, summer or fall! We like to travel all over the place and try different place but this is always a must to go to as well as last minute let's go camping spot. The owners are so friendly as well as everyone that camps there. They have a nice pond for swimming and a playground right by it for the kids. Pets are allowed which is great!
LegendHuge campground, and I guess we were lucky to snag a site mid week in August, as there were only two sites left when we arrived in the early afternoon.
You get a choice of electric or non electric. We paid $25 for a non-electric site (weekends are higher rate). You also have to pay the Wisconsin state park entry fee at $13/day for non residents, or $38 for an annual pass.
The dump station gets really backed up at the end of the weekend, so heads up.
Also, 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. Leashes required at all times, except for when the dog is actively frolicking in the water.
The concession stand here looks really nice, like a full service restaurant. Showers are nice and free. Water spigots throughout campground, or there’s a water fill at the dump station. There’s a little free library here too:)
Campground will be closed until May 24, 2024 for maintenance on the waterlines.
New Franken sits near the Niagara Escarpment, a significant limestone ridge that creates unique landscapes throughout northeastern Wisconsin. This geographic feature influences camping options, with sites often positioned along wooded areas that back up to limestone cliffs or near the shores of Lake Michigan and Green Bay. Fall camping here typically sees temperature ranges of 40-65°F, while summer months average 65-85°F with moderate humidity.
Fishing at Cedar Valley Campground: The campground features a stocked pond for catch-and-release fishing, making it ideal for anglers looking to enjoy fishing without leaving the property. "We loved our time at Cedar Valley this weekend. The owners were very nice, our site was enormous and the campground was so quiet. Our kids enjoyed the pool and playgrounds," notes April P.
Historical exploration: Visit Potawatomi State Park to see historical features including the eastern terminus of the Ice Age Trail. "Love camping here. Tone of hiking for all kinds of people!" shares Megan J. The park contains various historical markers and interpretive displays about the region's natural and cultural history.
Water recreation at Devils River: The nearby river provides opportunities for crayfish catching and exploration. "It is fun to go down by the river and explore. One year we caught about 60 crayfish and cooked them on the campstove and ate them," mentions Jimmy P. at Devils River Campground, which offers river access just a short walk from camping areas.
Spacious wooded sites: Many campers appreciate the privacy and natural setting of wooded campsites. "The site is awesome. It's heavily wooded with lots of space between sites," writes John B. about Daisy Field Campground at Potawatomi State Park, which offers shaded spots with natural barriers between neighbors.
Clean facilities: "Everything was very clean and even with the campground full it was nice and quiet. The spots are beautiful and shaded. Rain does cause many of the spots to flood," reports Celeste D. about Bay Shore Park, highlighting the maintenance standards that make camping comfortable.
Family-friendly environments: Many campgrounds cater specifically to families with children. "This is a great spot for kids..although there isnt swimming there are 2 playgrounds and lots of space to play frisbee or run around. We habe a great yime every time we go!" shares Kristine M. about Bay Shore Park.
Weather considerations: Late spring through early fall provides the most comfortable camping conditions, but be prepared for rain. "We stayed in the primitive area which wasn't crowded at all just after labor day. The sites were nice and wooded with lots of privacy. It rained most of the time we were there so we didn't get to explore much," explains Ken G. about Bay Shore Park.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially for summer weekends. "They don't have a ton of sites and they are reserve only. The weekdays are extremely quiet but the weekends get a little busy due to the seasonal sites," notes M E. about Devils River Campground.
Seasonal access limitations: Many facilities have limited operations outside summer months. "Nice campground. Will go again hopefully when weather is warmer," comments Sean about Bay Shore Park, indicating the seasonal nature of camping comfort in the area.
Pool access for kids: Door County KOA Holiday offers multiple swimming options specifically designed for different age groups. "There are 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," explains Andrew C.
Playground availability: When selecting a campground with children, consider those with play equipment. "There are 2 playgrounds which are a good size and safe," continues Andrew C. about Door County KOA Holiday, highlighting amenities that keep children entertained.
Activity planning: Scheduled events at certain campgrounds can enhance the family experience. "There are always themes and activities going on the weekends for our 3-year-old to do which she loves," notes Andrew C., describing the organized programming that makes camping with young children more engaging.
Site selection considerations: For RVers, finding level sites with adequate hookups is essential. "Even though we were on a hill the campsight was level. We had plenty of room for rv and tow," shares Robert O. about Apple Creek Campground, noting the spaciousness for large rigs.
Hookup availability: Verify what utilities are available before booking. "The electric and water hookups were on opposite sides of the site, and we had to keep adjusting the travel trailer to get both to actually hook up," warns Nikki & Mike about Bay Shore Park, highlighting potential challenges with utility placement.
Seasonal limitations: "Great spot, lots of trails, and the bathrooms were clean. 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," advises Brandl B. about High Cliff State Park Campground, reminding RVers to confirm utility availability early or late in the season.
