  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.

  Rivers Bend Campground

  Awesome campground right on the Menominee River!

  I did a lot of research for campgrounds near Iron Mountain Michigan and we were very happy with this campground. The sites were level, had shade trees, nice paved roads, clean, quiet and right on the river! We had 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.

  Summer Breeze Campground

  Great Place!

  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 that wasn't open yet! But we will be back to enjoy that! We had full hook up and everything was literally a breeze!

  Pine Grove Campground

  Halloween starts early here!

  This weekend there was a screening of The Nightmare Before Christmas (one of our favorites) and loads of cool decked out campsites. Only a few places with full hook up and ALL by the dump station. Nice amenities, lake, splash pads, mini golf, splash pad outdoor pool, golf car rentals, outdoor movies, a full size haunted house!

  Peshtigo River Campground

  A Peaceful Campground on the Peshtigo River

  The Peshtigo River Campground as it’s name implies, sits on a crook of the Peshtigo River. This makes it a perfect ending spot for the tubing rentals that they offer. The Campground itself is very clean. It has some of the cleanest bathrooms we’ve ever found. It has a small but very open playground. It even has a game room with a SouthPark Pinball that is fully working. There are several full hook up sites that are nicely spaced. All in all, it is a peaceful, clean, well run campground that I highly recommend. 

  The rent tubes for $14/person. Cooler floats are $8. This includes the bus service to the drop off anytime between 10 and 3pm. I would dedicate 3-4 hours to the tube trip.

  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

  Lake Hilbert Campground

  Large RV Park

  This campground is huge, it is a lot of permanent RV park sites but there’s a significant amount of sites available. Seems peaceful but busy. Sites are pretty close together so if you looking for quiet privacy I would look elsewhere.

  Dells of the Eau Claire Park Campground

  Nice views fishing not so great

  This campground is right on the Ice Age Trail and a nice place to stop off during an extended hike.

  There are not that many sites available here and most do supply electricity. More people tent camp here rather than RV camping. There are pit toilets but no shower house although there are water spigots for drinking water. The sites are closer together than some campgrounds but it's not like a city block of camps like some KOA's I have camped at. The night time temperatures dipped in the low 30's in the middle of May when I was there. The campground attendants were on site twice a day to sell firewood and collect camping fees. The DNR rangers do patrol the campgrounds on a regular basis. There is places all along the river to fish and I was told the fishing is good, however I did not have very much luck when I was there. The campground firepits with cooking grates were OK and the wooden picnic tables are worn, but there is level ground for pitching tents.

  The scenery and hiking along the river and on the Ice Age Trail is great. If you had better luck fishing than I did this would have been a great camping weekend. Bring warm cloths and a great sleeping bag.

  Fawn Lake Campground

  State Park Feeling

  We were visiting family in Shawano, WI, and stayed here for a week. Checking was easy and we had a long spot with full hookups. Park has a playground, small lake with a beach.

  Ok

  Most of the spots are set up for RVS with little privacy. Right on the river with access to the water for kayaking and stuff.

  West Bay Camping Resort

  Quiet woods

  Located down a quiet paved road just 2 miles outside of town. You are close to the action but dont have to listen to it.

  Some sites are tight/close and others you could turn around in. Most are fairly level or it doesnt take much to make your camper level. Very little grass at site but you get a picnik table and a fire pit. Wood must be bought at the store but pay attention to the hours as they close early. Plenty of mosquitoes but you are in the woods. Daytime they arent too bad.

  Bathrooms were very clean.

  Full hookups, no wifi or at least we couldnt find it. Dogs are welcomed , no barking allowed. Cell phone service was good so you can work if you have too. AT&T and Verizon.

  Passport America discount honored for 7 days and Coast to Coast.

  Plenty of rules but we will have this on our return list.

  Embarrass River Campground and ATV Park

  Rustic campsites

  Its been awhile since we've been here, so we will be making a trip in the future. The place is great! Big secluded sites. Plenty of shade. My favorite sites are on the river as its relaxing and comforting listening to the fast moving stream especially at night. You can bring your ATV to ride on the ATV track there or on the trails in the woods. We seen deer while riding through the trails. If you dont have an ATV you can always just kick back and relax or go to the track and watch a race of they're hosting an event that weekend. Its just an overall great rustic campsite. They recently updated the sites to have electric. They do have RV sites with full hookups. Showers and flushable toilets up at the entrance. Brochures and local information available as well. You can fish but all ive caught was some chubs. I heard you can get trout. You wont be disappointed! Its run by the small city/town/village of Tigerton. support the small local communities. There is a small restaurant/gas station down the road or go into town and there's a grocery store and a local tavern.

  Peshtigo Badger Park Campground

  Best Camping Within the TriCity Area

  If you want to camp without being far from amenities, you can't do much better than Badger Park. I loved coming here as a kid just for the playground which is still the best in the area. The park has half a dozen small trails as well as streams leading to the beach along the Peshtigo River. The nightly rates are reasonable and the sites are great for both tent and RV camping. As is usual in the north, the tall trees in the park's forested portion are especially great in Autumn. You'll be well taken care of at this campground if you're looking for a place easy for the whole family, young and old, to enjoy.

  Rustic site deep in the woods

  The site is not close to the river and is very rustic. 45 US-Dollar the night includes electrical hook up. No water at the site. The host is very nice

  River Park Campground

  Don't go to the state park, go here!

  Located in Grayling, MI, it is just down the road from Hartwick Pines State Park, tucked back in the woods, away from the highway. It is cheaper, and more layed back than the state park. There's also a small catch and release fishing pond. Our group of friends have been going here for 5-10 years now. There are residents in motor homes that live here all year round, so the facilities are well maintained, especially under the new manager, since he bought the family run company a year ago. He has cleaned up the grounds, opening more room for campers, and has opened up a second bathhouse facility. The original bathhouse comes equipped with hot showers, and there is a place outside for motor homes do empty their refuse. The tent lot is one big open area, and there is no limited space like most other camp sites. There is also water access on them. Some lots have electrical access as well for campers who want to bring there motor homes. There is a small store for supplies for things you might want during your stay, like some groceries, bug spray, sunscreen, and other things. There is also an ice freezer with bags of ice. The grounds aren't that from from town, so if you needed anything else, it'd be a quick trip. It's a good location near both the Manistee and AuSable rivers if you want to go on a canoe/kayak/tubing trip too. I recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area.

  North Bay Shore Camp

  Absolutely amazing and breathtaking. The campground sits right on Lake Michigan. So pristine and peaceful. Only 37 sites so it is quiet and most gorgeous views. Electric and water hookup during week $15🤯.

  Franklin Lake

  Great campsite

  Stayed one night on  a Sunday.  Mostly empty but you can see it is heavily booked for the Fourth of July weekend. They just added electric hook up to some sites in the South End.  Right now the price is the same for electric or non-electric sites.

  Sites are large and decent spacing between sites.  Heavy tree cover with mostly shade.

  The site was mostly gravel with nice fire ring and picnic table.

  Lake Emily Park Campground

  Nice Campground and Park

  I live near this park, so I frequent it. They have recently made improvements to the park area, which make it very kid friendly. The park also has a nice pavilion with picnic tables.   Sites are spacious and spread out compared to other parks, and the area is pretty quiet. Sites have water and electric hookup.

  Bear Lake

  Love this place!

  We have been camping here twice this year & absolutely love it! Rustic with no electric hook-ups. There is a pump for drinking water. The sites are large & private with a few waterfront sites. Vault toilets are available. The lake has a swimming area & beautiful Sandy beach & is perfect for fishing, swimming and kayaking. Laona is just a short drive for gas, and food.

  Marinette County Veterans Memorial Park

  Hidden Gem

  This campground is very rustic yet every spot has electric hookups. The total of spots is 15. Odd numbered are reservable. We were there on a weekend in June and it was peaceful and only half the spots were taken. The campground is well maintained by the county. There is a big playground picnic area within walking distance. There are paths to the waterfalls by the playground area. The downsides are no wood to buy, no showers and a lot of deer flys. Otherwise it is perfect.

  Boot Lake Campground

  Secluded lake camping

  This campground is near Townsend. If this one s full just continue down the road to Boulder Lake Campground. 

  We liked the diversity of campsites. You can find your own space and even add in some shade. Vault toilets and water can be found. Garbage bins are here too. The boat launch gives you access to the peaceful Boot Lake. We aren’t into fishing but liked that hiking isn’t too far. The Quartz Hill Trail is a bit of a drive past Townsend. 

  This is a peaceful respite in the Wisconsin woods.

  Holtwood Campground

  Awesome campground !

  We are spending a month at Holtwood Campground Oconto, in our motor home, while preparing our boat for winter storage. Loving it here! Spacious sites and nice view! Office staff are so very helpful and patient with me. Just love those girls! And the groundskeepers are constantly working on the landscape. We will for sure be back in 2020!

  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!

  Would give 4 if not for the ticks!

  Nice site for our 17-foot travel trailer with electricity, clean pit toilets nearby, and bathroom/showers nearby. We took a 3-mile hike on the premises and came back covered with ticks, then found more on us a while later, even after a detailed inch-by-inch inspection of clothes and bodies. Site was a bit muddy after a hard rain but no standing water and sandy soil seemed to soak it up.

  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.

  Marinette City Park

  Better than expected

  Based on the one review posted in 2018, I would never have considered camping here. Coincidentally, we stopped at this city park for lunch and decided to check out the campground. I thought it worthwhile to give it a little more love than it had previously received!

  Perhaps in 2018, it was not a designated campground but now has nine sites required to be reserved. All have electric hookups and the price of $20 is reasonable. It is part of a larger city park near a road so you will hear some road noise but it was not too bad. There were a lot of trees providing shade. 

  I was not able to access the bathrooms or shower as you need an access code so cannot comment on their quality or cleanliness. 

  There were no amenities in the playground itself but since it is part of a larger city park, there are activities you can avail yourself of there.
