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.

Plum Pines RV Park & Campground

43 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Plum Pines RV Park & Campground in Sayner, Wisconsin, offers 43 RV sites and five tent sites near Plum Lake in Vilas County, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Deluxe and standard categories sit behind a gated entrance in the Northwoods lakes country. Forty-three sites run in 30/50-amp deluxe, 30/50-amp standard, and standard pull-through categories carrying water and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. Accessible sites are available. Five tent sites round out the accommodations. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access. Boat rentals are available on site with boating and picnicking from the property, and off-roading and a golf course are nearby. The amenity set is deliberately quiet — this is a private, family-owned campground where the lake country does the work. Sayner sits in the geographic center of the Eagle River, Minocqua, Boulder Junction, and Manitowish Waters lake district, and the context is remarkable: Vilas County holds over 1,300 lakes within its boundaries, making it the most lake-dense county in the United States. Plum Lake is within blocks of the campground. Summer is decisively the season in the Northwoods. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and note the partial hookups when planning a longer stay.

Fairgrounds RV Park - WI

33 RV Sites

Fairgrounds RV Park in Beaver Dam, WI, offers 33 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. The categories are unusually specific about surface and purpose: 30-amp grass, 50-amp grass, 50-amp full-hookup gravel, and dedicated 30-amp and 50-amp grass special event sites. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Premium WiFi is available across the park, and it's rated big rig friendly. A bathhouse with showers, a dump station, a pavilion, a barn, and RV storage cover the rest. Pets are welcome. The special event sites tell you what this park is for: it sits on 60 acres of the Dodge County Fairgrounds, so fair weeks, shows, and events are the rhythm of the place, and it's quiet in between. Beaver Dam sits on Highway 33 four miles west, in the agricultural lakelands of south-central Wisconsin between Madison and Milwaukee. Golf, boating, a lake, and off-road riding are all nearby. Rates by site type are on the booking page. Check the fairgrounds calendar when you pick dates.

Chocolay River

76 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Chocolay River RV Park in Marquette, Michigan, offers 76 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and 10 tent sites on the south shore of Lake Superior, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with restrooms, showers, laundry, and river frontage just outside the city. Seventy-six sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits. A single-category, all-pull-through layout is genuinely practical — every guest gets the same spec, no backing after a long drive, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. Restrooms, showers, and a laundry handle the practical side. The river runs the property, with hiking on the grounds and offroading nearby. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates reasonable and suits a park built as a quiet base rather than a destination. Pets are welcome. The address is 123 Eagle Pass Trail near M-28. Marquette is the largest city in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and has become a serious destination for outdoor recreation without the crowds that come with it elsewhere — Lake Superior's shoreline, Presque Isle Park, the Noquemanon and South Marquette trail networks for mountain biking, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the waterfalls of the central UP are all close. Summer is the short, intense season on Lake Superior, with fall color drawing a strong second wave and snow sports filling winter. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and check operating dates for the shoulders.

Mountain Valley Lodge and Campground

60 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites

Mountain Valley Lodge and Campground in Thompsonville, MI, offers 60 full-hookup RV sites and 16 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-throughs, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a recreation center, and cabins for guests without a rig cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool, sport courts, basketball, ping pong, billiards, a playground, and dark northern-Michigan sky for stargazing fill the grounds, with swimming and picnicking on site. Skiing, snowboarding, off-roading, golf, a lake, a beach, and a river are all nearby. Thompsonville sits three miles from Crystal Mountain Resort in Benzie County, in the northwestern Lower Peninsula where the Betsie and Crystal Rivers and a chain of spring-fed lakes define the region. Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Huron-Manistee National Forests are close. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Ski season and summer both run busy here — reserve ahead either way.

Twisted Trails Offroad Park

11 RV Sites

Twisted Trails Offroad Park in Copemish, Michigan, offers 11 rustic camping sites across 400 acres of forest, mud holes, and rocky ridgeline in Manistee County. A single rustic camping category serves ATV riders, 4x4 enthusiasts, and anyone who came to get their vehicle dirty. Eleven back-in sites are rustic camping throughout, with fire pits at every site. Plan accordingly — these are primitive sites without hookups, so arrive fully self-contained with water and power, and confirm current facilities when you book. The pricing and the setup reflect exactly what this is: a base camp at a riding park rather than a campground with trails attached. Sites sit among the trees rather than in an open lot, and pets are welcome. One booking note the park states plainly: if you are coming to stay and play, add both a camping reservation and an Off Road Park or special event ticket to your cart — the camping alone does not include trail access. Four hundred acres of purpose-built terrain is what draws people from across the Midwest. The park has developed raw forest into one of the region's most sought-after destinations for serious offroading, with mud holes, rock crawls, hill climbs, and ridgeline trails that range from beginner-friendly to genuinely technical. Weekend events and organized rides fill the calendar. Copemish sits in the wooded hills of northwestern Michigan, with the Manistee National Forest surrounding the area and Sleeping Bear Dunes within reach for a day off the trails. Riding season runs spring through fall, with event weekends filling first. Reserve well ahead, and remember the separate park ticket.

Pecatonica River Trails Park

30 RV Sites

Pecatonica River Trails Park in Darlington, WI, offers 26 back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 84 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and back-in 50-amp, each with a fire pit and picnic table. This is a municipal campground rather than a resort, so plan on the on-site dump station and confirm water availability at your site when you reserve. The park is rated big rig friendly, and at 84 feet it will take a longer rig than most parks its size. A bathhouse with showers and a community fire pit are on site, and pets are welcome. One rule worth knowing: no one may camp or leave a unit in the campground more than 14 days in any 21-day period. The Pecatonica River runs along the park with a fishing pier, walking trails, a playground, and a basketball court, and the surrounding country is good for hiking, biking, paddling, horseback riding, swimming, and birding, with off-road riding nearby. Darlington sits in Lafayette County in southwest Wisconsin's Driftless Area, the ridge-and-coulee terrain the last ice age never flattened. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Note the 14-day limit when planning a longer stay.

Wheelers RV Park

15 RV Sites

Wheelers RV Park in Wascott, Wisconsin, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites on spacious oversized lots with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, positioned directly on one of Douglas County's top ATV and UTV trail systems. Weekly, monthly, and seasonal stays are the park's core business. Fifteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 70 feet. The lots are genuinely oversized, which is the configuration extended-stay guests in northern Wisconsin look for — room for the rig, the trailer, and the machines without crowding a neighbor. Weekly, monthly, and seasonal rates are available. Pets are welcome. Trail access is the reason to book. The park sits directly on one of the best ATV and UTV trail systems in the county, so riders can leave from their site rather than trailering out. Volleyball, biking, and birding fill the rest, with a golf course nearby. Wascott sits in Douglas County in the Northwoods lake district, where jack pine and red pine forest, hundreds of miles of managed forest road trails, and the drumlin lakes and cold-water streams of the St. Croix-Lake Superior divide define the outdoor recreation character that the region's seasonal camping and year-round resident population is built around. Riding season runs spring through fall, with fall color weekends drawing the heaviest traffic and winter bringing snowmobile riders. With 15 sites weighted toward extended stays, call ahead for short-stay availability.

Coconut Cove RV Resort

51 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 4 Glamping Sites

Coconut Cove RV Resort in Hazel Green, Wisconsin, offers 52 RV sites, 10 cabins, and four glamping sites on a lakefront property in the Driftless Area, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 72 feet. Five categories include deluxe waterfront back-ins, alongside a water park, jumping pillow, bar, and live music. Fifty-two sites span standard, premium, and deluxe back-ins, deluxe waterfront back-ins, and premium pull-throughs, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 72 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Ten cabins and four glamping sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, RV storage, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Two wristbands are included with each reservation for the pool, sandy beach, and beach playground; additional wristband access is required beyond that. The amenity scope is exceptional for the region. A water park, outdoor pool, sandy beach, and jumping pillow anchor the summer, with a lake supporting boating, kayaking, paddle boats, paddle boarding, and fishing, plus kayak and boat rentals on site. A clubhouse, recreation center, arcade, bar, on-site dining, and snack bar cover meals and evenings, with live music through the season, golf cart rentals, a playground, pavilion, and dog park besides. Pets are welcome. Hazel Green sits in Grant County near the Mississippi's Wisconsin shore, in the unglaciated Driftless hill country. Dubuque, Iowa and Galena, Illinois are both close. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.
