Best Campgrounds near Pulaski, WI

397 Reviews

The northeastern Wisconsin landscape surrounding Pulaski features a mix of county and state-managed campgrounds within an hour's drive. Brown County Reforestation Campground, located southwest of Pulaski, provides full-hookup sites for RVs while maintaining wooded surroundings. Shawano County Park, situated about 25 miles northwest on Shawano Lake, offers water recreation opportunities with boat launches and beach access. The region balances developed campgrounds with more rustic options, including some dispersed sites at Pioneer Park for those seeking minimal amenities. Most established campgrounds in the area accommodate both tent and RV camping, with electrical hookups being standard at county parks.

Wisconsin state park admission stickers are required at many locations in addition to camping fees, particularly at developed sites like High Cliff State Park. Reservations become essential during summer weekends, with many campers reporting difficulty finding last-minute sites. As one visitor noted, "Not making reservations in Wisconsin during the summer is risky but we fell upon this beautiful 50% first come county campground that is well kept." Weather conditions vary significantly by season, with spring often bringing rain that can affect site conditions. Mosquitoes and biting flies become prevalent in summer months, especially near water bodies. Cell service varies throughout the region, with better coverage near Green Bay and spottier reception in more remote areas.

Waterfront camping locations receive consistently high ratings from visitors, with Shawano Lake sites being particularly popular. A recent camper mentioned the park is "situated on Shawano Lake although not directly lake side. The beach is big with a two lane boat launch." Family-friendly amenities like playgrounds and swimming areas are common at the larger county parks. Hiking trails connect many campgrounds to natural features, with High Cliff State Park offering "great rock outcrops for bouldering and exploring." Weekdays typically provide quieter experiences even during peak season. The camping season generally runs from May through October, with some facilities closing after Labor Day. Most developed campgrounds provide shower facilities and flush toilets, though maintenance quality varies by location.
