      O. B. Fuller Campground

      On the shores of Lake Michigan

      You could drive by and miss this little gem. Beautifully kept up county park with clean shower house. Pet friendly, they even have a hitching post for your pet while visiting the bathrooms. On site hosts.

      All sites are within a short walking distance of the beach and some are right on the beach. Site L1 had a good mix of beach and woods. Near the beach is a small playground for the kids.

      Rivers Bend Campground

      Happy Camper

      We enjoyed our stay very much. Pretty campground, extremely friendly and helpful staff, nice neighbors all around. The shower area could use some updating, but was fairly clean. It is a dog friendly place and for the most part they were well behaved pets. We planned on staying four nights and are staying six instead. Taking advantage of the last nice days of the season. I would highly recommend trying this park.

      Governor Thompson State Park Campground

      Private!

      Park is located in the Peshtigo River state forest. Pet friendly!! Your pets are aloud on trails and with you at your campsite. They must be on a 6 ft leash. The park is beautiful. What surprised me the most was the pit toliets that looked like tiny houses. Pictures are attached. There is a small lake which is great for kayak and swimming. This park also has a boat launch onto the Cauldron Falls Reservoir. I've attached photos of the map. Almost all the campsites are private and hidden away in their own little spots. There are a few hiking trails which i enjoyed spending time on. If you go down the street a bit you will find Old Veterans state park which has a secluded quiet lake and beach. I spent an afternoon at the beach and never saw a soul. There is not a camp store. The only thing you can buy at the park is firewood.

      Island Resort and Casino RV Park

      Basic RV park with free shuttle to the casino

      We were in Site# 14. We had electric/water with a paved pull-through. We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
      The site was easy to level but the wheels of our motor home were off of the ground.

      Check-in is at the hotel. The RV park is not visible from the hotel (it’s back in the woods). There is a phone at the shower house that can be used to request a free shuttle to the casino.

      Our site was not shaded with limited trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

      The lot comes with a picnic table and fire ring.

      There was not any WiFi (we used our Starlink). They do not offer Cable TV.

      There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

      They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.

      They do have an indoor Swimming pool at the hotel with a sauna and steam shower.

      There is not a Playground. There are not any additional play areas like Bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball sport court, horseshoe, or volleyball courts.

      They have a general store in the parking lot of the casino where you can also get gas.

      There are restaurants on site in the hotel as well as a spa. The closest big town with stores is Escanaba (about 20 minutes away).

      This is solely an RV park. They do not have any cabins to rent or any tent areas.

      They have one shower house. The shower house has individual showers (toilets & sinks are on opposite side of shower house).

      The laundry facility is located at the BP gas station (located in the parking lot of the casino/hotel). It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.

      They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs.

      Bugs did not seem to be an issue.

      Some fun things to do outside of the campground are to visit the Sandy Point Lighthouse or Ludington Park in Escanaba.

      The casino is smoke-free. It states that the tables are open from 10am to 2am. Not all tables are available though (for instance, roulette wasn’t always available and if they did open up the one roulette table, it wasn’t until 6 or 7pm). The slot machine options are abundant.

      Tranquil~Vista Campground

      Love this place!

      This place was so much fun! The back tent areas are great, great walking trails, right on the water, the staff is so friendly and do daily checks to check if you need fire wood or anything. They also have fun seasonal events that the host for the campers. Definitely check this place out! So many memories there. They also have a playground for the kids, pet friendly, and allow atv/utv.

      Kleinke Park Campground

      Tranquil Waters and Tranquil Evening

      Great place to set up a tent, or in our case, a pop-up camper for the night. It's hard to beat waking up next to serene Lake Michigan waves but it was definitely worth it. The park boasts a few nice amenities and has plenty of space for both the kids and the dogs to play in and explore. One minor downside is the proximity to the highway. Makes for a nice trip if you live nearby!

      Governor Thompson State Park Campground

      Simple solace

      We stopped here for a quick overnight pit stop on our way from Minneapolis to our final destination camp site in Rowleys bay , Door county, Wisconsin. We were in a bind & needed something last minute but we still had specific wants.....like privacy! Their online reservations were easy. Pics of the sites were clear. Electric hook up & a great rate!
      This camp is well off the beaten path , narrow windy roads abound. But all paved & no traffic. In fact, we never saw a soul. The drive is lovely thru the Nicollet State forest. Although, you will lose service & it your relying on GPS directions, you’ll find yourself in a bind like us. But we got out our trusty map & winged it. Cell service kicked in just in time & we made it!

      Check in was a breeze. The gal was lovely & helpful. You will need a Wisconsin park’s admission sticker. The drive is still a 2.2 mile trek beyond the check in building. Our site was perfect. It was lush, green, & private . Well sized, easy to find, part grass, part gravel. Picnic table & fire ring. If you need it , they have a few bathroom buildings peppered around the loop & a very well kept shower & bathroom building upon entering the campground. I’m telling you, this place is PRIVATE. It is out there.. but still very well maintained. We were impressed by that.

      If anyone one else was camping , we didn’t know until we walked the dogs around the loop. Our site was surrounded by forest & the dogs were able to roam our site freely. There were mosquitoes, as it was slightly humid & rained a bit. But nothing mosquito spray couldn’t handle. FYI- if you have kids they will be bored. There is no playground that we saw. But if you just want some peace & quiet - this is the place for you! Most of the campers were older retirees. It looked like there were trails to explore but since it was a quick stay, we didn’t get a chance. We plan on coming back for sure & checking it out. For reference: We have a 19ft travel trailer & a ford truck. We stayed at site 19 , it is pull in & it was perfect,with plenty of room for everything. We took a walk to be nosy &also liked site 20, it was even bigger! Site 14 looked great for a pull thru site. There were also some much larger sites for bigger rigs. There also plenty of tent sites that looked great too. Dogs are welcome. As an added bonus- there were raspberry bushes everywhere! They were just coming in , but if you catch it right. You’ll be up to your eyeballs in fresh raspberries.. yum!

      West Bass Lake

      Nice Campground and Beach, Recenntly Updated

      As of this writing, 2024, they have recently installed new showers and flush bathrooms. I live near this campground, so I have stayed at almost every site in the park. If you cant have or don't want a lake site, site #4 is the largest. It is almost 35 yards across the front. Trees are growing back, but not many mature trees on the East of the park. There is a really nice beach area adjacent to, but not in the campground. It is a nice short walk. Each site has electric hookup, and some sites have more than one box.  Not much ambient light in this park, so it is great for viewing stars and Northern Lights. This  park also is situated near the ATV trail, and has access to the 160 mile Blue Ox trail system.

      Bagley Rapids NF Campground

      The perfect stop for the start of your Chequamegon National Forest Trip

      Bagley Rapids Campground is located in the Lakewood- Laona District of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, which is about as far South as the Forest goes. This makes Bagley Rapids Campground the perfect spot for a quick weekend trip from surrounding larger cities. It's roughly 2.5 hours away from Madison and Milwaukee and just over an hour away from the Green Bay area. 

      If outdoor recreation is your thing, this is the perfect base camp. The campground entrance is right off the ATV / Snowmobile / Horse Trails which connect to thousands of miles of trail systems all throughout the Northwoods of Wisconsin. I've stayed here 5 times in the last two years and frequent the local logging roads on my Dual Sport motorcycle. I'd say over 1/4 of the spots are actually located on Bagley Rapids, a very clear, crisp refreshing spring fed river that runs around the campground. It's great to wade into and enjoy after a hot day hiking and exploring trails. 

      A couple miles from the campground is nearby Mountain, WI where you can get basic groceries, gas and a great bar burger. Within 30 minutes you can be in the smaller town of Wabeno, which is home to some of the best ATV trails around and also has a very cool old style downtown.

      The sites are a mix of tent and RV with some really great spots with some elevation that back down into the river. It's always been peaceful during my stays and never gets loud and rowdy.

      As there isn't a beach, small children should stay out of the river due to it's strong current, so this might not be the best choice if you're going purely for the water.


    Guide to Niagara

    Camping options near Niagara, Wisconsin span both Wisconsin and Michigan sides of the Menominee River, with most sites situated between 800-1,200 feet elevation. The region experiences warm summer days with temperatures in the 80s and cool nights in the 50s, making proper sleeping gear essential even in July and August. The area's campgrounds typically open from May through October, with many closing after the first snowfall.

    What to do

    Waterfall exploration: Take a short hike at Twelve Foot Falls County Park where hiking trails lead to the namesake waterfall. "The trail to the falls is short but you can also explore the area. The falls are wondrous. We saw people cooling off in the water too," notes Art S.

    ATV riding: Access extensive trail systems from Tranquil~Vista Campground where direct trail connections are available. "There are miles of ATV and Side x side trails down the road, We spend the whole day riding and never see it all and they are well groomed," shares Shane.

    Fishing: Cast a line from shoreline or boat at various lakes. "The fishing is great both from your kayak, boat or the shore line," according to a Tranquil~Vista camper, while West Bass Lake provides "a small lake for fishing and swimming" per a local reviewer.

    Stargazing: Find dark skies at more remote locations away from town lights. "Not much ambient light in this park, so it is great for viewing stars and Northern Lights," notes Adam A. about West Bass Lake.

    What campers like

    Spacious, wooded sites: Campers appreciate Morgan Park for its natural setting. "Awesome county park with great staff, facilities and the sites are private and wooded. Nice beach on Timms Lake," reports David C., while another camper notes, "Lots of trees and foliage so sites are at least semi-private."

    Clean facilities: Many reviewers highlight well-maintained amenities. "Nikki and Jerry are wonderfully accommodating, the campground and its facilities are very clean. There is a nice affordable laundry," reports Cheryl C. about Summer Breeze Campground.

    Water activities: Lakes provide swimming and boating opportunities. "This park is naturally beautiful. No fancy but bath house is above average and everything is very well kept. Beautiful trails and a gorgeous lake for swimming and kayaking," notes robin F. about Morgan Park.

    Pet-friendly atmosphere: Dog owners find welcoming accommodations at multiple campgrounds. "This was such a nice camp ground & wonderful owners!!! We had a birthday party and our site was right across from the nice clean park and a pool," shares Sarah W. about Summer Breeze, a dog-friendly option near Niagara.

    What you should know

    Road access challenges: Several campgrounds require travel on unpaved roads. Carney Lake State Forest Campground requires "about a 7 mile gravel road to get here from the main road," according to Austin, while another camper notes it "takes about a ten Mile dirt/gravel road in poor condition to get to."

    Limited cellular service: Many camping areas have poor or no cell coverage. "The road out to the campground takes you out of cell service. Google maps directed us down atv trails. We suggest following the posted signs," advises one Twelve Foot Falls visitor.

    Seasonal considerations: Campgrounds operate primarily May through October. "We stayed during the week and we're the only site occupied," notes Corey O. about early-season camping at Carney Lake, indicating lighter crowds before peak summer.

    Varying amenity levels: Facilities range from primitive to fully-equipped. Some sites offer "a new shower/laundry facility," while others provide only vault toilets or no showers. "It is a small park with wooded sites. Site #9 looked to be the best one, there was a clear view of the lake," reports a Carney Lake camper.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Choose campgrounds with play areas for children. Lake Antoine Park Campground offers "a really nice beach area" where "the beach was really nice and the playgrounds were great for the grandkids," according to Lynn K.

    Swimming options: Look for designated swim areas at lakes with gradual entries. "There is a large Children's play area. Swimming and the sound of children playing fills the air," notes Shane about Tranquil~Vista Campground.

    Activities for different ages: Plan varied outings suitable for all family members. "Loads to do around... waterfalls caves and the iron mine tour," recommends Jill G. about the attractions near Summer Breeze Campground.

    Weather preparation: Pack for temperature swings between day and night. Many reviewers noted enjoying swimming during hot days but needing warm clothes for evenings around the campfire when temperatures drop substantially after sunset.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Request specific sites when making reservations. "Be careful if you want to be and what it states to specifically ask for them," advises Jill G., while another camper recommends Morgan Park's "huge pull through site, I stayed in site number 41. It's a little tight at points, the site I stayed at was near the very back of the campground."

    Full hookup availability: Several campgrounds offer complete services. "We had full hook up and everything was literally a breeze!" reports Sarah W. about Summer Breeze Campground, while Rivers Bend Campground provides "full hook up with cable! That was a nice surprise! We were greeted as soon as we drove in, our site was very nice with a concrete pad," according to Tammi J.

    Size limitations: Check campground capacity before arriving with larger rigs. "There are no spots for big campers. Tents and pop-up size," warns a West Bass Lake reviewer, while another mentions "a few 5th wheels" at Carney Lake, indicating limited big rig access at some dog friendly campgrounds near Niagara.

    Power options: Verify electric service matches your requirements. Lake Antoine Park offers 50-amp service, while other campgrounds provide only 30-amp connections or limited electric options at select sites.
