Best RV Parks & Resorts near Three Lakes, WI

373 Reviews

Several RV parks surround the Three Lakes, Wisconsin area, providing a range of amenities for motorhome travelers. Franklin Lake Campground, located directly in Three Lakes, offers electric hookups with 50-amp service and operates from April 30 to October 14, though it lacks sewer connections and water hookups at individual sites. Just north in Land O' Lakes, two RV-specific options exist: Land O' Lakes Nature RV Resort features 25 sites with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections, while Borderline RV Park provides big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp service and operates May through October. Wildwood Outdoor Adventures & Campground, with 100 sites, accommodates larger RVs with full hookup options including 30/50-amp electrical service. "Some sites are tight/close and others you could turn around in. Most are fairly level or it doesn't take much to make your camper level," noted one RV camper about West Bay Camping Resort in nearby Rhinelander.

During peak summer months, reservations are strongly recommended as the limited number of RV parks in the immediate Three Lakes area fill quickly. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with most campgrounds offering at least minimal connectivity for Verizon and AT&T customers. Dump station availability differs between parks - Franklin Lake has no sanitary dump on premises, while Borderline RV Park and Wildwood both provide this service. Pet policies are generally accommodating, with most RV parks allowing pets with standard leash requirements. For RVers requiring propane services, nearby towns offer refill options. Winter camping is limited, as most RV parks in the area close by mid-October and don't reopen until late April or early May due to harsh Wisconsin winters. Arbor Vitae Campground, about 30 miles west of Three Lakes, provides an alternative with big-rig friendly sites and full hookups including 30/50-amp service.

    Bond Falls Campground

    Great Views and Quiet Camping

    8/26-9/1/22- Free camping! There are vault toilets and hand-pump well drinking water in several places, and picnic tables and fire pits at each camp site. The sites are well maintained, clean, and reasonably flat. I tried self registering, but there was nowhere to sign-in. About 11Am the next morning, someone came by to register us. 2-bars Verizon 5G, and 2-bars AT&T 4G. 

    We rolled in about 10pm and drove through the western loop sites 1-22, pulled into the first pull-through site(W5) that we could easily get our 34’ fifth wheel into and went to sleep. In the morning, I walked the loop and found several others that we could fit(now that it was light out), and we moved over one site to W6. Site W21 has a lake view and a large loop in front of this back-in site that would be super easy to navigate for a big rig. Sites 11 and 12 were really close together but had a good views of the lake as well. Later, we drove over to the east camp site that all seemed to have lake views, and sites E12 and E13 are surrounded on 3 sides by water, a turn-around loop, and more sunlight for solar powered rigs. I didn’t think to check cell signal while there. 

    The towns of Watersmeet and Conover had the cheapest diesel fuel. The Wild Turkey Bar& Grill in Conover, WI had fabulous smoked meats, and there is a great little hardware store in Conover as well.

    Camping in the Clouds

    Friendly staff but very rustic

    Overall our stay was pleasant the campground is very rustic facilities on premise could definitely use some TLC. We stayed in a pull through site which was decent. Campground overall was very quiet mainly seasonal or long term sites.

    Holly Wood Hill Campground & Crandon Saloon Event Center

    Clean and Fun

    • Yards on the lower sites are large, lots of room with concrete pads, but power/water hookups at lower sites are designed for motorhomes, not travel trailers
    • Yards on upper sites are cramped and unlevel
    • Taco Truck on site has amazing food!
    • The campground is ATV/UTV friendly but the area “trails” are gravel roads except the ATV park east of Crandon
    • Dump site is unlevel and leans away from hose hookup making it difficult to fully flush holding tanks
    • Driveway to get in and out of dump site is rough and quite tight for a camper longer than 35ft to maneuver around
    • On July 4th wknd we paid $60/night for water and power hookup, a little steep for not having full hookups

    Indian Shores

    Indian Shores - a worthy desination in Wisconsin’s Northwoods

    This is a larger campground with a good mix of seasonal and weekend campsites. The majority of the weekend campsites are located near the prime activity locations; the pool, playground and lake areas. There are full sun and full shade sites available. The Shady sites are amongst the evergreens, so they tend to be sandier. The full sun sites are all grass. All of the sites have a gravel pad to park on; the exception to this are the lakeside sites which are concrete pads. There is a camp store and a good sized bar & grill. The weekend we were here it rained non-stop, so we did not get to use any of the available canoe/kayak/fishing boat/pontoon boat rentals. We did make ample use of the mini-golf, playground, and heated swimming pool though. The pool was warm enough that even the non-stop rain did not cool it down enough to be uncomfortable. The seasonal campers I met and talked with were all friendly and did not have the “why are you here” attitude I occasionally come across when staying at seasonal heavy resorts. I did see several people fishing in the rain and pulling keepers out of the lake to be cleaned and cooked. They were fishing from the docks. Our kids are 7 & 10 and they were never bored. There were a couple trails within the campground that were good for nature hikes. If it were a little closer to home, this campground would be on the shortlist of places to have a seasonal site at.

    Paint River Hills Campground

    Quiet campground right by town and ORV trails.

    Great little campground. It's small, clean and quiet. You self register for check-in, there's a bathroom building with 3 stalls and two showers(women) and hot water. We purchased an RV site($20) even though we were camping in a tent so our truck and trailer would fit and it comes with water and electricity at the camp site. Each campsite comes with a picnic table and fire ring. The ORV Route is right outside the campground entrance and you can ride to the trail. You can also get ice and gas at the gas station in town by taking the alley. We stayed again in 2020 in Our RV. They have 4 pull through sites with full hook-ups;$25 a night. 50/20 amps, high water pressure.

    Bewabic State Park Campground

    Bewabic State Park

    We stayed at Bewabic State Park in a 34’ trailer. We stayed in site 61 which is a narrow site at the bottom of a small hill and on a corner, which made backing in tricky. The site was very nice and had buffers all around, with only a neighbor to one side. We chose 61 because on the map it appeared close to the bathrooms and park. It is close, but only if you walk through a fairly grown in path. The only park we saw consisted of a swing set and a slide. Loops A and B have some hills and tight corners, making them more convenient for tents or smaller trailers. Loop C would be best for larger units. The park has many C-shaped pull-through sites.

    It is a fair distance to the beach from the campsites, and most people seemed to drive there, as the road is decently hilly. The beach was very small, with a large grassy hill behind it. The hill was unfortunately COVERED in goose poop, which was disgusting. You cannot have dogs on this beach, but the Canada gooses sure are allowed. The bottom of the lake was kind of slimy in places. We did not get cell service at our campsite. You could get sparse service at the bathrooms at the start of loops A and B, or at the entry.

    Patricia Lake Campground

    Mostly Seasonal Campers

    This is our second stay, once in 2020 and now 2023. Both times were just for a couple nights. Great location to explore Minocqua. The campground is comprised mostly of seasonal folks, but offers 20 some sights to non-seasonal. Sites are relatively spaced apart for a private campground and offer FHU’s for those needing to stay a night or two to dump tanks, etc. A bit pricey, but if you spend most of your time boondocking it’s a good fit. Good Verizon signal and they have cable TV hookup.

Guide to Three Lakes

Franklin Lake Campground stands as the primary camping destination within Three Lakes, Wisconsin, with sites directly on the water. The campground operates seasonally from April 30 to October 14 and features a mix of primitive and electric sites. The surrounding Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest creates a dense woodland setting at approximately 1,600 feet elevation with typical summer temperatures ranging from 55-80°F and frequent afternoon thunderstorms.

What to do

Swimming and beach activities: Franklin Lake offers a sandy beach area with crystal-clear water. "The beach is great, but if you have a site on the lake you can walk in and swim right there! The water is crystal clear," notes camper Selah S. Many campers appreciate the sandbar swimming area across from the main beach.

Paddling opportunities: Laurel Lake Campground provides excellent canoe access with sites near the water. "The site would be a perfect canoe landing, the water is within a few yards," writes camper Nancy May. The calm waters make it ideal for beginners and families.

Fishing: Multiple lakes in the area offer fishing opportunities. "We have had an excellent camp-out this year here. Maybe because our site is only a yard away from the water," shares Nancy May about Franklin Lake. Local lakes contain walleye, bass, northern pike and panfish, with many campers reporting success from shore.

What campers like

Natural surroundings: Land O' Lakes Nature RV Resort creates an "Adult Playground in Nature" according to reviewer Jake C., offering a unique adults-only environment without the typical 55+ age restriction. The resort features 25 sites with natural landscaping.

Privacy and quiet: Many campsites provide good separation between neighbors. "Private sites, great beach, beautiful buildings built by the CCC. There is even a small nature center," reports Kay K. about Franklin Lake Campground. The northern location means minimal light pollution for stargazing.

Wildlife viewing: The forests around Three Lakes support abundant wildlife. "Loons are always on the lake... Among other wildlife bear are in the area, which is a testament to how off the beaten path this campground is," notes Selah S. Deer sightings at campsites are common, with Nancy May reporting, "We have deer walk through the back of our campsite at night."

What you should know

Limited services: Cell service varies significantly throughout the area. "Cell service is awful, you can get service sort of by the lake depending on your provider, but don't count on it," warns Hannah I. about Franklin Lake. Many campers recommend downloading maps and information before arrival.

Weather considerations: The Northwoods region experiences significant temperature swings. Borderline RV Park typically operates "May 1 - Oct 31" because of the short season, with reviewer Susan T. noting, "I've been here April through October," indicating the edges of camping viability.

Insects: Bug protection is essential in this wooded, lake-rich environment. "Hoped to stay a few nights, chased out by mosquitoes after first one," cautions Sue B. about her Franklin Lake experience. Early morning and evening hours typically see increased insect activity.

Tips for camping with families

Beach activities: Holly Wood Hill Campground offers family-friendly features. "Very nice campsites... they have a pile of different games for everybody to use or play they have a big camp fire there every night," mentions John V.

Nature exploration: The forests offer many opportunities for children to connect with nature. "My family loves the nature trail that takes us through bogs and past maiden hair ferns," shares Kay K. about Franklin Lake's interpretive trails.

Site selection: When camping with children, location matters. "You can get campsites on the lake, or you could get more secluded sites further back into the woods," explains Hannah I., noting that lakeside sites offer immediate water access but less privacy.

Tips from RVers

Hookup limitations: Arbor Vitae Campground provides full-service sites but may have maintenance issues. "Electricity has no breakers to shut the juice off before hook up which is very dangerous. Water is good pressure," cautions Wayne O.

Site levelness: RV sites throughout the area vary in quality. "Most sites are fairly level or it doesn't take much to make your camper level," notes Linda C. about campgrounds in the region, adding "Clean bathrooms and shower areas. Easy hook up for water, electric and sewer."

Seasonal stays: For extended visits, Borderline RV Park offers seasonal options. "Great community in the park for summer/early fall living. Numerous lakes nearby for fishing; a boat ramp into the Wisconsin River for canoes/kayaks is just across 45," shares Susan T. Many seasonal campers use the RV parks Three Lakes, Wisconsin area as fishing basecamps.
