Mont du Lac Resort

20 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 14 Tent Sites

On the Wisconsin side of the St. Louis River overlooking the Duluth-Superior harbor, Mont du Lac Resort delivers year-round outdoor adventure from a single hillside property — transitioning from a downhill ski and snowboard hub through the winter months to a mountain biking and disc golf retreat across the warmer season. Few resorts in the Upper Midwest match Mont du Lac for the breadth of activities available in one place across every season, making it equally compelling for a ski-weekend booking in January and a mountain biking trip in July. Accommodations range from Trophy Suites and deluxe cabins to RV sites and tent camping, giving guests a full spectrum of lodging options within the resort's wooded grounds. A full-service chalet with a bar and restaurant anchors the social side of the property and handles post-activity recovery with the kind of comfortable informality that active outdoor resorts do best. The staff brings genuine enthusiasm for the activities that define the Mont du Lac experience — particularly useful for first-time skiers or riders navigating the hill's layout. Pets are welcome throughout the resort. The hillside setting overlooking the St. Louis River is striking in every season. Winter transforms the slope into snow-covered ski terrain with runs suited to all ability levels, from beginner-friendly pitches to steeper runs that challenge intermediate skiers. When the snow melts, nine kilometers of dedicated mountain biking trails wind through the same wooded hillside, and an 18-hole mountain disc golf course adds a year-round low-key option that attracts a different demographic from the downhill crowd. The river views below the hill change character across seasons as dramatically as the hillside activities above. Duluth, Minnesota, sits just across the St. Louis River and adds one of the Upper Midwest's most interesting small cities to the resort's regional draw. The Aerial Lift Bridge — one of the most recognizable pieces of engineering in Minnesota — spans the ship canal at Canal Park, where the Great Lakes Aquarium, the waterfront Lakewalk, and a concentration of breweries and restaurants create a lively lakeside district. The Skyline Parkway above Duluth provides panoramic views over Lake Superior that rank among the finest urban overlooks in the region. Pattison State Park, home to Big Manitou Falls — the highest waterfall in Wisconsin — and Jay Cooke State Park's dramatic gorge and suspension bridge are both within easy driving range. Mont du Lac Resort shines brightest during ski season, typically running December through early March depending on snowfall, and again in summer when mountain biking and disc golf replace the chairlifts. Book lodging well ahead of winter holiday weekends and Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, when the ski hill and resort facilities fill to capacity. Summer stays offer a quieter, more relaxed version of the resort — ideal for families and individuals who want outdoor recreation with more room to breathe than peak-season crowds allow.

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.

SARA Park Campground

10 RV Sites

SARA Park Campground in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, is a municipally managed campground on the Wisconsin River in Lincoln County's northern Wisconsin lake and river country — a well-equipped community facility that provides RV sites with 30- and 50-amp electric and water hookups, a public beach, a boat ramp, a pavilion, and direct access to the Wisconsin River and Lake Mohawksin in a setting that combines the practical infrastructure of a well-maintained municipal park with the natural recreation quality of one of northern Wisconsin's most productive river and lake systems. The campground's position directly on the water gives guests immediate Wisconsin River access without a separate marina or launch fee transaction. Electric and water hookups at 30 and 50 amps cover the primary RV hookup needs across a range of rig types, and the campground's beach, boat ramp, playground, and pavilion create the community recreation infrastructure that sustains stays beyond the pure hook-and-sleep overnight format. A dump station at the city garage handles the waste management logistics for self-contained rigs, and on-site Wi-Fi, pet-friendly accommodations, and public bathrooms with showers address the practical daily needs of both overnight travelers and week-long visitors. Fishing, swimming, and volleyball provide the core activity programming, and the campground's municipal character gives it a clean, well-maintained baseline that reflects genuine civic investment in the facility. Lake Mohawksin, the impoundment of the Wisconsin River that forms Tomahawk's immediate waterfront, and the Wisconsin River itself provide fishing for walleye, musky, largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, and panfish through the full open-water season. Boat and jet ski rentals near the campground extend the water recreation access for guests without trailered watercraft, and the Wisconsin River's northern Wisconsin reach provides flatwater paddling corridors through forested terrain that maintains its wild character even in the proximity of an established community. The Bearskin State Trail, a paved multi-use trail running between Minocqua to the north and Tomahawk to the south, provides one of the most scenic and well-maintained cycling and walking surfaces in northern Wisconsin — a 18-mile trail following a former railroad grade through maple-basswood forest and alongside lakes and wetlands that makes a full round-trip an excellent half-day bicycle excursion for guests with bikes or rentals. The Kwahamot Water Ski Show, Tomahawk's long-running amateur waterski entertainment tradition, provides a specific cultural event experience that is a consistent summer Tomahawk draw for visitors arriving with its schedule in mind. Historic downtown Tomahawk's independent shops, restaurants, and North Fourth Street retail district give the community's commercial core a small-city character worth a walking-tour exploration. SARA Park Campground operates through the northern Wisconsin outdoor season from roughly May through October, with summer peak demand through July and August when the combination of lake recreation, water ski shows, and the northern Wisconsin summer camping culture brings strong visitor traffic to the Tomahawk area. The fall musky season from October through November is a specific attraction for the serious trophy musky angling community that targets Lake Mohawksin and the Wisconsin River's northern impoundments. Reserve sites ahead for summer peak weekends and Kwahamot Water Ski Show dates when the campground's direct river access is at its most competitively sought.

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.
