Twelve Foot Falls County Park provides pet-friendly camping with simple amenities in a quiet woodland setting. Dogs must be leashed when outside the tent or RV but can join campers on the hiking trails leading to the namesake waterfall.

Sites accommodate both tents and smaller RVs, though the campground lacks electric hookups or shower facilities. Vault toilets are available and well-maintained.

TravelerYou 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.
ScoutI LOVE this campground. Located in Marinette county, this park has a lot to offer. Hike the bluffs, swim, fish, blueberry picking, and much more! Morgan park has a new shower/laundry facility I wish they had when I was growing up there. Marinette Co is the waterfall capital of Wisconsin, so there is plenty to explore nearby. Oh, and don't forget to stop for ice cream in Pembine! Safe travels!
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutLeave the loud pets and noisey illegal moterbikeos ah home no nature here
GuidePark 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.
ScoutThis 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.
RangerWe 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.
LegendNorth and South Nicolet Bay campgrounds is where the action is. It felt like spring break out at the beach and boat ramp (no pets allowed on beach).
North Nicolet has no power sites, all are no hookups. There is a dump station and water fill near Tennison Bay campground.
Campground is very close to the beach, and you definitely hear the shrieking children from the beach, especially if you get a site close to the beach like we did, so heads up.
There’s a host on site, flush toilets, and showers. Recycling and garbage here as well as a playground.
ScoutWe chose this campground on a whim since we wanted to be near Lakewood where I would spend summers as a kid. We love this place and ended up choosing it for both of our camping trips last summer. We in fact got the same exact site and it’s our favorite anyway. This campground is pet friendly- We took our bulldog camping with us. We checked out the beach and it was very accessible. The showers , Bathrooms and Vault Toilets were all clean. We did enjoy the hiking on the campground but there were some parts that were a little overgrown. Overall we love this place and it’s our go to!
Marinette County camping offers secluded woodland sites within Wisconsin's Northwoods region, where mixed hardwood forests meet the Michigan border. At an elevation around 1,000 feet, the area features numerous waterways including the Pike and Peshtigo Rivers. Summer temperatures typically range from 55-80°F with cooler nights even during peak season.
Waterfall exploration: The Pike River area features several accessible falls within driving distance of Twelve Foot Falls County Park. "Nice trail along river to falls. Water pump by site 1 in upper area. Good base area for fishing the Pike river," notes Don N., highlighting the park's proximity to fishing spots and hiking trails.
ATV trail access: Nearby trail systems offer miles of routes for off-road vehicles. "We spent the whole day riding and never see it all and they are well groomed," writes Shane about Tranquil~Vista Campground, which offers direct trail access. The campground provides porta-johns, a volleyball court, and a designated children's play area.
Swimming and water recreation: Several area lakes provide swimming options beyond the beaches mentioned in the existing description. "There is swimming, boating (campsites are also available on the island), lots of hiking trails," reports Rosemary S. about Governor Thompson State Park. The reservoir and connected waterways offer kayaking opportunities away from more developed beaches.
Wooded privacy: Many campsites feature natural screening between neighbors. "The sites were level, had shade trees, nice paved roads, clean, quiet and right on the river," notes Tammi J. about Rivers Bend Campground. Sites along the Menominee River include full hookups with added amenities like cable TV connections.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the region maintain well-kept bathroom facilities despite their remote locations. "Bathrooms and showers were excellent. There are also pit toilets in the loops," reports Scott D. about Governor Thompson State Park, though he warns about ticks and notes the beach water turns dark once deeper in.
Quiet atmosphere: The region's lower visitor density creates peaceful camping experiences. "Secluded and on a beautiful lake," writes Lydia T. about Carney Lake State Forest Campground. Several reviewers note having entire campground sections to themselves, particularly during weekday visits.
Access challenges: Remote locations mean limited services and potentially difficult approaches. "Takes about a ten Mile dirt/gravel road in poor condition to get to," notes Cynthia B. about Carney Lake. Similarly, Art S. mentions navigation difficulties at New Prospect: "We couldn't find any info on if camping is allowed/not allowed or how to register."
Seasonal considerations: Bug activity varies significantly by season. "Beautiful Lakes secluded areas and a crazy amount of ticks in May," warns Jill G. about Governor Thompson State Park Campground, suggesting avoiding early season camping or taking extra precautions.
Dog policies: Pet-friendly campgrounds near Pembine typically require leashing. At Rivers Bend Campground, "It is a dog friendly place and for the most part they were well behaved pets," notes Lori N. Most area campgrounds allow pets throughout their facilities, including on trails and sometimes in designated swimming areas.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. At Summer Breeze Campground, "Our site was right across from the nice clean park and a pool," writes Sarah W., mentioning birthday celebration amenities. The Iron Mountain location provides family-friendly facilities close to town services.
Swimming safety: Lake and river conditions vary significantly. At Shakey Lakes Park, "There's an ice cream/food stand on the beach, and a playground," notes Tayah H., making it suitable for families with younger children who need more amenities and supervised swimming areas.
Activity options: Families report finding diverse recreation opportunities. "Hike the bluffs, swim, fish, blueberry picking, and much more," mentions Corey D. about Morgan Park. Many campgrounds include both water recreation and land-based activities to keep children engaged.
Site selection: Electric hookups and level sites vary between campgrounds. "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," recommends PJ F. about Governor Thompson State Park, also suggesting site 20 for even more space.
Utility access: Full-service campsites remain limited in this largely rustic region. Rivers Bend Campground offers "full hook up with cable! That was a nice surprise," according to Tammi J., making it suitable for RVers wanting more amenities in a dog-friendly campground near Pembine.
Road conditions: RV access can be challenging on forest roads. "The road out to the campground takes you out of cell service. Google maps directed us down atv trails," warns Art S. about Twelve Foot Falls County Park, suggesting following posted signs instead of GPS directions when approaching in larger vehicles.
