Best RV Parks & Resorts near Townsend, WI
Several established RV campgrounds operate near Townsend within the Nicolet National Forest area. Boulder Lake Campground accommodates both big rigs and standard RVs with electric hookups, water access, and fifty-amp service from May through November. Sites are equipped with fire rings and access to drinking water, though spacing varies between locations. According to one visitor, "The sites were level and had electric hookups. It was huge and private." Maple Heights Campground provides electric and water hookups on generously sized sites with picnic tables and access to shower facilities, while Northern Hideaway RV Park features full hook-up sites with sanitary dump stations. River Forest Campground offers 50 drive-in sites with electric hookups and water access in a wooded setting near White Lake.
Across the region, dump stations are available but not at every location, making trip planning essential for longer stays. Cell service fluctuates significantly throughout the national forest areas, with some campgrounds reporting good AT&T and Verizon coverage while others have limited connectivity. Many RV sites in the area remain open from mid-April through early November, though several parks close earlier in October as temperatures drop. Most campgrounds accommodate pets with standard leash restrictions. The roads leading to some locations involve narrow, winding routes through forested areas that may challenge larger rigs—a reviewer noted that several parks are "located down quiet paved roads just 2 miles outside of town. You are close to the action but don't have to listen to it." Reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and fall color season.
