RV sites near Two Rivers, Wisconsin offer direct access to Lake Michigan shorelines and wooded areas along Wisconsin's eastern coast. The area experiences cold winters with temperatures often below freezing from December through March and mild summers with average highs in the 70s. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through October, with Point Beach State Forest serving as the primary year-round camping option in the immediate Two Rivers vicinity.
What to do
Hike the Ice Age Trail: Scheffel's Hideaway Campground connects to a portion of the Ice Age Trail that leads directly to Lake Michigan Beach. "Super friendly owners, super clean campground and it's along part of the Ice Age Trail that leads to the Lake Michigan Beach," notes one visitor, adding that "Point Beach State park is also a great place to visit and is only a few minutes up the road."
Explore nearby caves: Devils River Campground provides convenient access to the Maribel Caves park, located just one mile down the road. "There are several things to do - hiking, biking, caves, Lake Michigan, etc. The New Hope Cave is only open to tour 1 weekend of the month. It is usually the 3rd Saturday of the month," explains one camper who visited with their family.
Visit the Manitowoc Breakwater Lighthouse: Located approximately 30 minutes from Devils River Campground, this Lake Michigan landmark makes for a worthwhile day trip. As one visitor recommends, "The Manitowoc Breakwater Lighthouse is on Lake Michigan about 30 minutes away from the campground but we definitely recommend going to see it!"
What campers like
Clean facilities: Point Beach State Forest receives high marks for its well-maintained amenities. "The campground is clean and organized well, with each space separated by trees/bush/woods," notes a recent visitor. "Showers are nice and free. Water spigots throughout campground, or there's a water fill at the dump station."
Family-friendly amenities: Tranquil Timbers offers numerous recreation options for families. "We have been camping here for a few years now multiple times a year. We love this place. Quiet. Lots to do for kids. Pool, mini golf, game room, tennis courts, soccer, volleyball a rec center with games, TV ect," shares one satisfied regular.
Waterfront locations: Stop-N-Dock Marina & RV Park provides direct water access with electrical and sewer hookups. "Very pretty and peaceful campgrounds. WiFi very spotty. Water, sewer and electricity setups. Close to amenities. Get site 1 if possible," recommends a camper who gave the park a 5-star rating.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Weekends fill quickly at most campgrounds in the area, especially during summer months. At Point Beach State Forest, "we were lucky to snag a site mid week in August, as there were only two sites left when we arrived in the early afternoon."
Water quality concerns: Some campgrounds have issues with drinking water quality. One Point Beach camper advises, "The drinking water is not good so be sure to pack enough."
Dump station congestion: Plan accordingly for end-of-weekend departures. "The dump station gets really backed up at the end of the weekend, so heads up," warns a Point Beach visitor, suggesting earlier departure to avoid long waits.
Pet policies vary: While most campgrounds allow pets, restrictions differ. Tranquil Timbers has received mixed reviews regarding their pet policy, with one camper stating, "Tranquil Timbers advertises pet friendly but they ARE NOT pet friendly. If your dog makes any kind of noise whatsoever, they are NOT welcome."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Devils River Campground features a swimming pond that's popular with younger visitors. "The central pond and waterfall were awesome! One of the seasonal campers had some giant inflatable climbing/bouncing things for the pond, so that kept the kids and some adults occupied," explains one family camper.
Indoor amenities for rainy days: Village Inn on the Lake Hotel and RV Park offers indoor options when weather doesn't cooperate. "The indoor pool is so nice! It's a saltwater pool and they have a separate hot tub," mentions one camper, while another adds, "Campers can use the indoor pool. Not much of a campground but worked for our stay during a ball tournament."
Bring insect protection: Summer camping requires preparation for insects. A Devils River camper warns, "The only negative with our stay (which the campground can't help) were the mosquitos, flies, and bees. So bring bug spray!!!"
Tips from RVers
Site size considerations: Many parks have limited space between sites. At Kewaunee RV & Campground, "The sites are a little small but the hospitality of the owners/hosts ensure that we'll be back," according to one RVer, while another notes, "The sites are open but enough space for privacy as well, if you do the end sites."
Water and electric hookups: Most RV sites near Two Rivers offer at least basic utilities. Countryside Motel & RV Sites provides "Water and electric only. Very small spaces (16) right by the road. NO DUMP STATION AT ALL," cautions an RV traveler.
Full hookup availability: For RVers requiring complete services, Scheffel's Hideaway Campground provides full connections according to visitors. One camper with a new RV noted the campground is "super clean" and "would highly recommend this campground, especially for someone that comes with their camper to work in the area."
