Hattie Sherwood Campground

20 RV Sites, 12 Tent Sites

Situated on the shores of Big Green Lake in the central Wisconsin village of Green Lake, Hattie Sherwood Campground offers RV sites and tent sites with elevated views of the lake through a mature hardwood canopy—a natural setting that takes advantage of Big Green Lake's status as the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin, with a maximum depth of 237 feet that gives the water an unusually clear, cold quality distinctive among the state's glacially formed lakes. The campground's wooded bluff position provides dappled shade throughout the day that moderates summer temperatures and enhances the visual appeal of the lakeside setting. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, and the campground's facilities include bathrooms, showers, a dump station, and a boat ramp giving guests direct lake access from within the property. A children's playground and walking trails make the campground functional for families with younger guests, and the pet-friendly policy accommodates travelers with dogs. The recently added permanent pier on the lake extends the guests' connection to the water, and firewood is available for purchase on-site for campfire evenings under the Green Lake hardwood canopy. Hattie Sherwood Beach, directly across the street from the campground, provides a sandy swimming beach and additional shoreline access that complements the campground's bluff-side position above the lake. Kayaks, canoes, and rowboats are available for rent nearby, and the marina on Green Lake supports more expansive boating for guests bringing their own watercraft or seeking charter options on the lake. Fishing on Big Green Lake targets walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and panfish across a season that extends from ice-out in spring through the fall fishing window. The village of Green Lake hosts an active summer and fall community event calendar, with local dining options, ice cream shops, and the historic Heidel House Resort and Spa providing additional amenity access for campground guests within walking distance or a short drive of the campground. The Green Lake Conference Center, one of the oldest conference centers in the country, draws event-related visitors to the community throughout the season, and the surrounding Marquette County landscape provides additional hiking and scenic driving options for guests exploring beyond the immediate lake area. Hattie Sherwood Campground is open through the warm-weather camping season, with summer representing the peak period for lake swimming, boating, and fishing. Green Lake's cold, clear water makes it an appealing swimming destination even during the warmest weeks of summer, when shallower lakes warm to less comfortable temperatures. Advance reservations are recommended for summer holiday weekends, when the campground's lakeside position and immediate beach access make it one of the more sought-after sites in central Wisconsin's lake country. Big Green Lake's cold, clear water—maintained by the lake's unusual depth and the cold spring inputs that feed it from the surrounding limestone formations—gives it a water quality that supports exceptional trout fishing and a swimming experience distinctly different from the warmer, shallower lakes that are more common in central Wisconsin's glaciated landscape.

Buffalo Lake Camping Resort

47 RV Sites

On Buffalo Lake in Montello, Wisconsin—the Marquette County seat and the birthplace of John Muir, whose formative years in the glacially sculpted lake country of central Wisconsin shaped the conservation philosophy that would eventually protect Yosemite Valley and inspire the creation of the National Park Service—Buffalo Lake Camping Resort provides 110 campsites, three two-bedroom housekeeping cabins, a park model cabin, a solar-heated swimming pool, rowboat, canoe, and kayak rentals, bait and tackle, a carry-out kitchen, arcade, covered pavilion, and the complete family camping infrastructure of a well-established Wisconsin lake resort where every site has a picnic table, fire ring, and basic cable TV and free WiFi covers the entire property. The lake access and the classic Wisconsin camping atmosphere make Buffalo Lake a destination in its own right for the Fox Valley and Madison-area families who return season after season. The 110 sites range from full hookup RV accommodations with 30-amp service to more primitive options, and the big-rig-friendly infrastructure accommodates the larger motorhomes and fifth wheels that the Wisconsin camping community brings to the lake. Boat docks and a boat ramp serve guests with their own watercraft alongside the resort's own rowboat, canoe, and kayak rental fleet, and the 24-hour on-site laundry supports the extended family stays and the week-long reservations that Buffalo Lake draws from its loyal repeat guest base. Weekend activities, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, gaga ball, and an arcade create the social and competitive programming that keeps families entertained between lake outings, and the carry-out kitchen handles the meal logistics for days when cooking out isn't on the agenda. Montello sits at the head of Buffalo Lake in Marquette County in the Central Sands region of Wisconsin, where the glacial landscape of the Green Bay Lobe's retreat created the outwash plains, kettle lakes, and the sandy soils that support the pine barrens and lake country that characterize this part of the state. The John Muir birthplace connection is genuine—Muir's family settled in Marquette County in 1849 when John was eleven, and the Fountain Lake Farm and the Muir Memorial Park near Montello preserve the landscape where Muir developed his passion for natural observation that would make him the father of American conservation. Green Lake, approximately 20 miles north, is the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin at 237 feet—a deep, cold lake in a beautiful setting that provides the swimming, boating, and fishing complement to Buffalo Lake's shallower, warmer recreational character. The resort towns of Green Lake and Ripon provide the restaurants, shops, and the Ripon College campus that give the central Wisconsin lake country its cultural infrastructure beyond the lake itself. The Wisconsin River corridor, accessible within the broader Marquette County area, provides additional fishing, canoeing, and the Dells of the Wisconsin River's dramatic sandstone gorge scenery that makes the Dells one of the state's most visited natural attractions. Buffalo Lake Camping Resort operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day in Wisconsin's summer camping season, with the Fourth of July week and the August weekends filling earliest for the resort's loyal repeat guest community. The carry-out kitchen and the weekend activities calendar create the social energy that extends beyond individual sites and makes a Buffalo Lake stay feel genuinely communal. Reserve your site or housekeeping cabin at Buffalo Lake Camping Resort and let Marquette County's lake country, the John Muir landscape, and the classic Wisconsin summer camping experience deliver a season of memories on a lake that Muir himself would have recognized.

Silver Springs Campsites

152 RV Sites

Silver Springs Campsites in Rio, Wisconsin, offers 152 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet, between Madison and the Wisconsin Dells. Full hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join an outdoor pool, beach, pond, and jumping pillow on a family-oriented property. One hundred fifty-two back-in sites run in full hookup and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Note the 42-foot cap before booking a larger rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Golf carts rent at $75 per day with a two-day minimum on regular weekends and three days on holidays; drivers must be 18 with a valid license. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with an on-site pond supporting fishing, boating, paddle boats, canoeing, and kayaking. A recreation center, game room, billiards, ping pong, jumping pillow, basketball, volleyball, bocce ball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds, with on-site dining and planned activities through the season. The resort also operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The self-contained recreation is the point — guests get a full outdoor program without driving to regional lakes or state parks, in the farm and lake country of Columbia County. Summer is the season. Reserve ahead.

Nature’s Touch Campground

35 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

Nature's Touch Campground sits three miles from downtown Wisconsin Dells in a family-owned setting that captures the contrast defining the Dells experience at its most appealing — outdoor natural character in the rocky sandstone gorge landscape of the Wisconsin River corridor, alongside convenient access to one of the most concentrated waterpark and attraction environments in the Midwest. For families making Wisconsin Dells the destination of a summer road trip, the campground's combination of tent sites, cabin rentals, full-hookup RV sites, and an on-site activity calendar positions it as a genuine base camp rather than simply a place to park overnight between park days. Full-hookup RV sites, cabins with various comfort levels, and tent sites give guests accommodation choices appropriate to the full range of Wisconsin camping styles, and the campground's own activity programming — mini-golf, basketball, an arcade, food trucks through the season, a bar, and planned live music — creates the evening social infrastructure that makes staying at camp after a day at the waterparks as enjoyable as the parks themselves. The playground and sports courts serve younger guests while the bar and live music provide the adult atmosphere that extends family campground evenings into genuine social occasions rather than just recovery periods before the next morning's park opening. Rocky Arbor State Park, adjacent to the Wisconsin Dells area, provides the natural counterpoint to the attraction-dense commercial corridor — sandstone bluffs, oak forest, and a trail network through the Wisconsin River's sandstone gorge terrain that delivers the genuinely wild character of the Dells landscape before the twentieth century's tourism development. The Wisconsin River Boat Tours, operating through the original gorge navigation that established the Dells' reputation in the late 19th century, provide a completely different lens on the same sandstone formations that the waterparks and go-kart tracks now surround. Noah's Ark Waterpark, one of the largest outdoor waterparks in the United States and a perennial anchor of the Wisconsin Dells experience, delivers dozens of slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers across its 70-acre complex, with signature rides like the Scorpion's Tail — an enclosed nearly-vertical near-free-fall slide — providing the adrenaline benchmark that every Dells waterpark visit is measured against. The broader Dells attraction corridor includes additional waterparks, family entertainment centers, go-kart facilities, and the miniature golf and mini-racing options that make the Dells one of the most comprehensively programmed family vacation destinations in the upper Midwest. Nature's Touch Campground operates through the Wisconsin Dells summer season, with peak demand running from Memorial Day through Labor Day when the waterparks operate at full capacity and families from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa fill the regional accommodation inventory to near-zero availability on summer weekends. The September shoulder season brings cooler temperatures and dramatically reduced crowds to both the campground and the attractions corridor, offering the rare opportunity to experience the Dells without the summer-peak logistics. Reserve cabins and premium RV sites as early as possible for any July or August weekend — Wisconsin Dells summer inventory is among the most competitive in the upper Midwest.

Thirty-nine back-in sites run in full-hookup and water-and-electric categories carrying 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two cabins and a glamping site round out the accommodations.

The recreation is the reason to book. A one-acre lined swim pond with an Aquaglide inflatable aqua park anchors the summer, with a beach, water park, and inflatable water toys besides. A ninja slack line, gaga ball, playground, dog park, sports courts, volleyball, and basketball fill the grounds, with a golf driving range, bike rentals, walking trails, hiking, and biking from the property.

Pecatonica River Trails Park

30 RV Sites

At 400 Washington Street in Darlington, Wisconsin—in Lafayette County in the rolling driftless landscape of southwest Wisconsin where the glaciers of the last ice age missed the Driftless Area's ancient terrain and left the Mississippi River tributary valleys in a ridge-and-coulee topography that the Cheese Country ATV Trail and the surrounding Lafayette County trail network has made the most specifically mapped ATV recreation landscape in southern Wisconsin—Pecatonica River Trails Park provides 32 electric campsites along the Pecatonica River with direct access to both the Cheese Country ATV Trail and the Darlington ATV Club's local trail system, a canoe launch, a handicapped-accessible fishing pier, restrooms and showers, a dump station, a playground, and a lighted walking path in the Lafayette County park configuration that trail users and river paddlers find the most practically positioned camping option in the immediate Darlington trail corridor. The direct Cheese Country ATV Trail access and the Pecatonica River canoe launch at the same property define what makes this park specifically useful for the multi-recreation visitor. Thirty-two total campsites include 8 electric sites in a grove of walnut trees with 30-amp service and 22 open electric sites with 50-amp service, plus 2 non-electric sites. Each site provides the open space for the RV plus the tow vehicle and the ATV or UTV trailer that the park's trail-access orientation specifically accommodates with the additional ATV day-use parking for trail users not camping overnight. Restrooms and shower facilities serve the hygiene infrastructure. A dump station handles the black-water disposal need for the RV camping population. A handicapped-accessible fishing pier on the Pecatonica River provides the bank and pier fishing access to the river's bass, catfish, and rough fish population without requiring boat launch access. A canoe launch serves the paddling guest with the flat-water access to the Pecatonica's southwest Wisconsin corridor. A playground and lighted walking path complete the non-ATV recreation options. The park operates on a first-come, first-served basis with self-registration, reflecting Lafayette County's practical management of a rural park resource without reservation system overhead. Maximum stay is 14 nights in any 21-day period. The Cheese Country ATV Trail—accessible directly from the campground—is one of the most celebrated multi-use recreational trail systems in Wisconsin, covering 47 miles through Lafayette and Iowa Counties on converted railroad right-of-way that the trail authority paved and graded for ATV, UTV, bicycle, and snowmobile use through the driftless southwest Wisconsin landscape. The trail passes through the small communities of Blanchardville, Mineral Point, and Calamine, with the trail-access restaurants and bars in each community providing the mid-ride destination that organizes the all-day trail itinerary into an out-and-back or loop structure around a midpoint lunch stop. Darlington's Lafayette County Courthouse Square and the surrounding small-town Wisconsin commercial character represent the driftless region's agricultural community heritage, with the Pecatonica River's historic mill sites and the county's dairy farming landscape providing the context for a region that the Cheese Country trail name accurately describes as the productive agricultural center of Wisconsin's southwest quadrant. Pecatonica River Trails Park is open seasonally through the ATV trail season and into the hunting and late-season outdoor recreation calendar. Summer represents the peak ATV and paddling season. Fall brings the hunting activity and the driftless landscape's hardwood foliage color in the ridge-and-valley terrain that the glaciers' absence left in a more topographically dramatic state than the glaciated plains to the east. Arrive early for peak summer ATV weekends when the walk-in sites fill by midday, launch the canoe at the Pecatonica, and let the Cheese Country Trail earn the southwest Wisconsin ATV reputation that 47 miles of converted rail corridor makes available from the park's Washington Street gate.

Lake Joy Campground

30 RV Sites, 57 Tent Sites

In the gently rolling hill country of southwestern Wisconsin, Lake Joy Campground occupies the shoreline of a pristine, spring-fed lake near the town of Belmont. Sixty acres of clear water define the experience here, and the campground has been built around that lake in every meaningful way—from the swimming beach and boat rentals to the fishing access and lakeside campsites that let you fall asleep to the sound of water. It's the kind of place where the agenda writes itself: swim until lunch, take a kayak out in the afternoon, and watch the stars come out from a lakeside fire after dinner. The lake anchors virtually everything on offer at Lake Joy. A sandy swimming beach gives families a safe and inviting place to splash around, while rentals for rowboats, kayaks, canoes, and pedal boats open up the entire lake to exploration. Anglers will appreciate that no fishing license is required for the campground's water—just bait a hook and work the edges for bass and panfish. Three separate playgrounds keep younger campers occupied between swims, and basketball and volleyball courts provide higher-energy options for those who can't stay still. An arcade and game room offer a welcome indoor fallback when the weather doesn't cooperate. The natural character of the lake is one of its strongest selling points. The spring-fed water stays unusually clear through even the hottest summer weeks, and the lake attracts herons, kingfishers, and occasional deer that wander to the shoreline at dusk. Surrounding the campground, the soft hills and open meadows of southwestern Wisconsin's Driftless Area create a landscape that feels both intimate and unhurried. Campsites are positioned to capture lake views, and the overall pace of the grounds encourages the kind of day where your phone stays in the camper. The Belmont area puts some of Wisconsin's most distinctive countryside within easy reach. Governor Dodge State Park, one of the state's largest, offers more than five thousand acres of oak forest along with swimming beaches and rugged trail networks. The historic mining town of Mineral Point—restored by Cornish immigrants and now home to galleries, excellent restaurants, and working artists' studios—makes for a compelling afternoon excursion. Cave of the Mounds, a nationally designated Natural Landmark with impressive underground formations, is worth a half-day detour. ATV and UTV riders will find roughly 140 miles of trail riding terrain winding through the surrounding region. Lake Joy is a warm-weather campground that earns its reputation through sheer lakefront simplicity. Summer weekends fill up quickly, particularly for waterfront sites and the most popular cabin units, so planning ahead pays off. Whether you're coming for a fishing-focused long weekend, a family vacation, or a week of slow mornings on the water, the campground delivers the full Wisconsin lake experience without a lot of fuss. Reach out early for peak summer dates, pick a site with a view, and let the spring-fed lake set the pace for your stay.

Tippy Dam Campground and Cabins

17 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites

Tippy Dam Campground and Cabins sits in the heart of Manistee National Forest in Wellston, Michigan, positioned directly on the Manistee River at one of the state's most celebrated trout and salmon fishing destinations. The campground takes its name from the Tippy Dam—a hydroelectric facility on the Manistee that creates the impoundment responsible for the world-class steelhead and chinook salmon runs that draw anglers from across the Midwest each fall and spring. The campground provides 24 electric sites and 11 non-electric sites, all with picnic tables and fire pits, plus a bathhouse with showers that received a complete upgrade in fall 2024. A water fill station and dump station handle logistical needs for self-contained rigs. Rustic cabins sleep up to six people each and come equipped with bunk beds, a propane heating stove, solar-powered lighting, a table and chairs, and a fire circle outside—a genuinely remote feel despite the convenient road access. An accessible fishing pier extends over the Manistee River from the parking lot, putting productive water within reach for campers of all mobility levels. The tippy dam campground is pet-friendly and operates year-round for campers who time their visits around the seasonal fish runs. Manistee National Forest surrounds the campground on all sides, creating one of Michigan's most immersive forest settings—stands of northern hardwood and conifer, sandy two-track roads, and the wide, cold Manistee River moving steadily through it all. The river here is wide, dark, and deep in the pool below the dam, an ideal holding environment for the large salmon and steelhead that stack up during fall and spring runs. The North Country Trail and Manistee River Trail both pass through the area, offering multi-day backpacking routes and day hiking options through the national forest with river views and backcountry scenery that rivals anything in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. The Manistee River downstream of Tippy Dam is one of Michigan's premier canoe and kayak routes, offering a gentle float through forested national forest land with a series of riverside campgrounds accessible only by water. Several liveries in the Wellston-Mesick area offer canoe, kayak, and tube rentals with shuttle service, making it easy to run a half-day or full-day river trip. Caberfae Peaks ski area is about 20 miles east and offers winter recreation once the snow arrives. The resort town of Cadillac, about 30 miles east, provides full commercial services, waterfront dining on Lake Cadillac, and additional paddling on the connected Lakes Cadillac and Mitchell. Tippy Dam Campground is one of Michigan's genuine four-season destinations—steelhead in spring, canoeing and hiking through summer, salmon runs in September and October, and snowshoeing and ice fishing through winter. The fall salmon run is the calendar's peak, attracting serious anglers who know that the Manistee River below Tippy Dam ranks among the most productive chinook salmon fisheries in the Great Lakes system. Electric sites fill quickly during the salmon season and summer weekends, so reservations are important for peak periods. If you're looking for a Michigan campground where the river itself is the primary attraction—and fishing, paddling, and trail miles define the daily agenda—Tippy Dam Campground and Cabins delivers the real thing.

Wildwood Outdoor Adventures & Campground

73 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Wildwood Outdoor Adventures and Campground in Eagle River, Wisconsin, offers 73 RV sites and 10 tent sites directly on the Eagle River Chain of 28 Lakes, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 102 feet. Pond water view and premium back-in categories in both full-hookup and water-and-electric versions join boat docks, kayak rentals, and floating boat slips. Seventy-three sites span pond water view back-in 30/50-amp, pond water view back-in 30/50-amp water-and-electric, premium back-in 30/50-amp, and premium back-in 30/50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 102 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Every category comes in both a full-hookup and a water-and-electric version, which lets you choose the setting and the hookup level independently — a sensible structure. One hundred two feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Every site gets a fire ring and picnic table. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and private family shower rooms handle the practical side. Floating boat slips, a full dock, and kayak rentals open the chain for boating, canoeing, and kayaking, with a lake, pond, river, walking trails, biking, a playground, community fire pit, and productive birding filling the rest. The Eagle River Chain is the largest freshwater chain in the world — 28 glacially carved lakes connected end to end across more than 3,000 acres. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Wolf Lake Resort and Campground

30 Tent Sites

Wolf Lake Resort and Campground in Muskegon, Michigan, overlooks the tranquil expanse of Wolf Lake in western Michigan's Lake Michigan shoreline community, combining lakeside camping and resort amenities with positioning in one of the Great Lakes region's most diverse outdoor recreation environments. Situated in Muskegon County where the sandy dunes, freshwater lakes, and river systems of the western Lower Peninsula meet the Lake Michigan shoreline, the resort serves guests drawn to the area's exceptional combination of water recreation, dune exploration, and the beach culture of Michigan's Gold Coast. The resort accommodates guests in RV sites ranging from full hookup pads with water and electric connections to traditional rustic tent sites, with a beach, boat rentals, a fishing pier, kayak and canoe access, and a clubhouse providing the recreational infrastructure that keeps guests engaged throughout multi-day stays. A playground, laundry facility, and walking trails add practical and leisure amenities, and the lake's fishing opportunities—targeting bass, bluegill, and perch in Wolf Lake's productive waters—give anglers a resource that doesn't require driving to public access points. The resort's lakeside character creates a cohesive outdoor experience where the water is the organizing element of each day. The Muskegon County landscape is defined by the glacial legacy that shaped all of western Michigan—thick deposits of glacial outwash forming the sandy soils that support the white pine and oak forests inland and the spectacular dune systems along Lake Michigan's eastern shoreline. Wolf Lake sits within this post-glacial landscape as a clear, moderately productive inland lake typical of western Michigan's lake-dense interior, while Muskegon Lake—a large protected bay connecting to Lake Michigan—lies a short drive west, providing access to the big lake's open-water sailing, powerboating, and shoreline character. Muskegon State Park and P.J. Hoffmaster State Park, both within a short drive of the resort, protect magnificent Great Lakes dune ecosystems where towering sand dunes rise directly from Lake Michigan's shoreline and offer sledding, hiking, and some of the most dramatic lake views accessible from the western Michigan public land system. The Muskegon Channel and Muskegon Lake provide access to Lake Michigan for boaters heading offshore, and the USS Silversides Submarine Museum—home to one of the most intact WWII submarines in the United States—provides a compelling historical attraction in Muskegon's revitalized lakeshore district. Downtown Muskegon's growing restaurant and brewery scene reflects the community's ongoing economic revival. Wolf Lake Resort operates seasonally from late spring through early fall, with the peak Michigan summer season from June through August driving the heaviest demand for lake swimming, boat rentals, and the beach amenities that make western Michigan lake resorts such a consistent draw for families from Grand Rapids, Detroit, and the greater Midwest. Fall offers a quieter but equally beautiful experience as the surrounding hardwood forests transition to October color and the lake fishing picks up with the cooling water temperatures. The resort's combination of direct lake access, boat rental infrastructure, and proximity to Muskegon's Lake Michigan dune parks makes it a well-rounded choice for guests targeting the Michigan Gold Coast experience.
