What campers like
Spacious wooded sites: River Forest Campground and Outdoor Retreats provides widely spaced camping areas unlike typical campgrounds. "It is not a normal campground, sites are very spaced out, group sites can accommodate up to 30 people per site," notes one reviewer. Another adds that the "site we booked was very level and spacious for our toy hauler."
Swimming beaches: Multiple campgrounds feature natural swimming areas for cooling off during summer months. At Chute Pond Park, visitors enjoy "a nice beach area" along with "a playground, sand volleyball court. Clear water for swimming and no motorized boats."
On-site recreation: Pine Grove Campground provides numerous structured activities, especially for families. "As a father with 3 young kids, I thoroughly enjoy this camp for the activities and amenities available. The water area is a favorite for kids and the grounds sport plenty of things to grab their attention from mini-golf to the lake," reports one parent.
River activities: Many camping cabins near White Lake sit along waterways for fishing and paddling. "There are a bunch of trails right in and around the campground, as well as opportunities for canoeing on Game Lake (there is a canoe you can just use for free)," explains a visitor to Langlade County Veterans Memorial Park.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabins require advance booking, especially during summer and for themed weekends. "We would go back again. We could have just had bad luck on the weekend we went but would have liked to see some sort of authority there to keep a few groups contained a bit," notes one Pine Grove visitor regarding a busy weekend.
Limited amenities at some locations: Holly Wood Hill Campground provides more basic cabins with varying levels of comfort. "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," explains one visitor.
Additional costs: Some campgrounds charge for recreation amenities beyond accommodation fees. At Pine Grove Campground, one visitor noted the additional expenses: "To rent a paddle board it was $15 per hour. By the time you got them, got in the water, it cost us $45 for 3 kids for way less than an hour. $50 to rent a golf cart."
Campground atmosphere varies: Camping cabins near White Lake range from quiet retreats to more social environments. "This campground has a very party Atmosphere. They have immature trees but has updated the plumbing and have built a new clubhouse," notes one camper about Peshtigo River Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Water features for kids: Look for campgrounds with dedicated swimming areas for children. "Chute Pond is my favorite place in the world. They have a little footbridge to fish off of, a playground, and a nice beach. You can rent out kayaks and little boats," shares one longtime visitor.
Scheduled activities: Heavens Up North Family Campground provides "clean, updated camping" with family-oriented amenities including "the most beautiful showers and amenities I've seen camping so far!" according to one new camper.
Playground access: Many cabin camping locations feature play equipment for children. At Pine Grove Campground, families appreciate the "kid-friendly pool, arcade, park, and bounce house area that our group of kids loved."
Site spacing considerations: Select cabin locations based on proximity to neighbors when camping with children. River Forest Campground offers sites that are "very spaced out," allowing families more privacy and room to play.
Tips from RVers
Full hookup availability: Heavens Up North Family Campground provides full-service sites for RVs with water, electric and sewer connections. One visitor noted "clean, friendly staff, not trying to nickel and dime you for everything. Reasonable prices, good services."
Dump station access: When booking cabin camping near White Lake that allows RVs, check dump station configuration. At Holly Wood Hill Campground, "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."
Site leveling: Most cabin camping areas also accommodate RVs with varying site quality. "Nice and shady. Sights have space. Pool, showers, dump station, mini golf and other activities. Camp fire wood was nice and dry at a good price. Vary hilly," reports a visitor to Heavens Up North Family Campground.
