Sara Park

Sara Park campground sits within the city-run park of the same name in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, managed by the City of Tomahawk. All 10 sites run along a road with direct river access at the back, making this a compact but functional base for anglers and paddlers who want to be on the water quickly. A boat launch is available down the road, and the park across the street adds a beach and two sand volleyball courts to the mix.

Each site includes electric and water hookups at $30 per night, and a dump station behind the city garage is available for $10. Vault toilets and free showers round out the amenities. "The sites have immediate access to the river for fishing," noted one reviewer, which reflects the campground's main draw. Midweek visits tend to be quiet, with one camper reporting they had the place to themselves on a weekday. One consistent note: trains pass through at irregular hours, including overnight.

Cell service is available on-site. The campground also accommodates pets and includes ADA-accessible facilities. Campers arriving by boat can use the launch to access the site directly. Those wanting a wider range of places to camp around Tomahawk can compare options across the region, including Tomahawk Campground and RV Park to the north or Terrace View Campsites further northeast. For a low-cost, riverfront stop with hookups and easy water access, Sara Park is worth a look.
