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.

Thornton's Rafting Resort and Campground

17 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites, 1 Mobile Home, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers

Thornton's Rafting Resort and Campground in Athelstane, WI, offers 19 RV sites, 5 cabin and mobile home rentals, and 3 tent sites, with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites are back-ins with electric service, site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. These are not full hookups — plan on arriving with water aboard and confirm what's available at your site when you book. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp property, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. At 80 feet, though, the sites take a longer rig than almost anything else in the Northwoods. FSX and Transcend RV rentals are available for guests without a rig, and there's a bathhouse with showers on the property. Pets are welcome. The Peshtigo River's whitewater is the reason the resort exists, with rafting, kayaking, boating, and boat rentals, plus an outdoor pool, on-site dining, walking trails, a lake, and swimming, fishing, hiking, and birding. Athelstane sits in Marinette County in Wisconsin's Northwoods. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Rafting season weekends book first.

Hidden Shady Nook

3 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

Hidden Shady Nook on Pike Lake in Cornell, Wisconsin, offers three RV sites and two cabins across 800 feet of shoreline, with 30-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 30 feet. A single water-and-electric back-in category joins a boat ramp, boat docks, kayak rentals, beach, barn, and bar. Three back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around: the 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches, so this suits vans and small trailers, and the sites carry water and electric rather than sewer. Accessible sites are available. Two cabins round out the lodging. A general store, restrooms, showers, boat storage, and on-site dining handle the practical side. For after-hours help, contact the camp host at the number posted at the office. A boat ramp, boat docks, and kayak rentals open the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a beach on the property. A barn, bar, playground, walking trails, and picnicking fill the rest, with live music through the season. Pets are welcome. Pike Lake is a 200-acre, 38-foot-deep spring-fed lake with genuinely clear water and a strong reputation among Chippewa County anglers — the kind of small, deep northern lake that stays cold and fishes well through summer while shallower waters warm. Eight hundred feet of shoreline for three RV sites means the lake is effectively yours. Summer is the short, intense Wisconsin season. Reserve well ahead.

River's Edge Campground - Birchwood

River's Edge Campground in Birchwood, Wisconsin, offers full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electric, cabins, and tent camping on the Brill River in Washburn County, with pull-through and back-in sites, fire pits, and picnic tables. A man-made swim pond with a beach supplements the river access, and site WiFi reaches the campground. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric in both pull-through and back-in configurations, with fire pits and picnic tables. Cabins serve guests traveling without a rig. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and laundry cover the practical side, a general store stocks basics and firewood, and WiFi reaches the sites. A pet washing station is on site — a genuinely useful detail after a day in the river. The Brill River frontage defines the campground. Swimming holes, tubing runs through clear northwoods water, and kayak launches give guests direct river access, while the swim pond and beach provide shallow, managed water for younger children. A dog park, playground, walking trails, sports courts, and basketball spread across the wooded grounds, with a jumping pillow, gaga ball, inflatable water toys, and planned activities filling the family calendar. Boating, canoeing, kayaking, and picnicking round it out. Pets are welcome. Birchwood sits in the northern Wisconsin lakes country between Spooner and Rice Lake, where the Namekagon and Brill rivers and a chain of glacial lakes define the landscape. Long Lake, the area UTV and ATV trails, and historic Hayward are the main draws nearby. The campground runs the northern Wisconsin summer season, with river swimming and tubing driving peak demand from June through August. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.

Buffalo Lake Camping Resort

47 RV Sites

Buffalo Lake Camping Resort in Montello, WI, offers 47 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. The resort publishes four site categories — standard, plus, premium back-in, and premium pull-through — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with a fire pit and picnic table; confirm which layout you're booking when you reserve. The resort is rated big rig friendly and takes rigs up to 70 feet. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and cabins cover the rest. The resort sits within city limits, which means services are genuinely close. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, an arcade, a boat ramp, boat docks, boat and kayak rentals, bike rentals, a pavilion, a playground, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with fishing, boating, paddling, swimming, and biking on Buffalo Lake. Montello is the Marquette County seat and the birthplace of John Muir, whose formative years in this glacially sculpted lake country shaped the conservation thinking that eventually protected Yosemite. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Premium pull-throughs book first.

Deep Lake Campground

3 RV Sites

Deep Lake Campground in Oxford, WI, offers 3 full-hookup RV sites with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-thru layouts. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Cabins are available for guests without a rig, and WiFi covers the property. Pets are welcome. Three RV sites on a natural lake is the whole idea. A beach and direct lake access support swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddle boarding, with no crowd and no schedule. Oxford sits in central Wisconsin's lake country, fifteen minutes from the waterslides and attractions of Wisconsin Dells — which makes Deep Lake the quiet alternative for anyone who wants the Dells nearby rather than underfoot. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Three sites fifteen minutes from the Dells means summer books out immediately.

from $45/night

Hattie Sherwood Campground

19 RV Sites, 12 Tent Sites

Hattie Sherwood Campground in Green Lake, WI, offers 20 RV sites and 12 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites are tiered by service, and the labels tell you exactly what you get: 20-amp sites, 30-amp deluxe, 30-amp deluxe with water, 50-amp premiere, and 50-amp premiere with water. These are partial hookups — electric at every site, water at some, no sewer — so plan on the on-site dump station and check whether your site includes water when you book. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, and recycling are available, and pets are welcome. A boat ramp and boat rentals put guests on the water for fishing, boating, paddling, and paddle boarding, with a beach for swimming, a pond, walking trails, a playground, and biking and birding through the mature hardwoods. Green Lake sits on the shore of Big Green Lake, the deepest inland lake in Wisconsin, in the central part of the state. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Premiere sites with water are the ones to request, and they go first.

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.
