Boat-in access defines the experience here. Reaching this Wisconsin DNR-managed site on the Menominee River requires arriving by water, which keeps foot traffic low and filters out campers without paddling or motorboat capability. At $19 per night, the site includes toilet facilities and allows both pets and campfires. Reservations are available, so booking ahead is advisable. Paddlers exploring camping near Menominee River State Recreation Area will find nearby alternatives if this site fills. Bring all water filtration gear since the only water source is the river itself.
Description
There are four canoe campsites available on the Wisconsin shore of the Menominee River. Signs with a canoe and tent symbol mark the campsites. These sites are for groups of six persons or less. On the Wisconsin side of the river, campsites are only available by reservation.
At each site there is a fire ring, a cleared spot to pitch a tent, benches and a primitive latrine. No non-designated island camping is permitted on Wisconsin islands in the river.
