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.

HTR Door County Campground & RV Resort

84 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 7 Glamping Sites, 20 Cottages, 2 Houses

HTR Door County Campground & RV Resort in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, offers deluxe back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, sized to 45 feet, alongside cabins on a big-rig-friendly property behind a gated entrance. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, game room, and on-site dining bring resort-level camping to the heart of the Door Peninsula. Deluxe back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Cabins serve guests traveling without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. Check-in is after 2:00pm and check-out before 11:00am. Pets must be leashed at all times — remote collars do not count — and should never be left unattended. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a clubhouse, game room, arcade, and on-site dining for other hours. Sports courts, volleyball, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season and swimming, boating, and birding from the area. A beach, lake, river, state park, golf course, amusement park, and wineries are all nearby. Pets are welcome. Egg Harbor sits on the Door Peninsula, a 70-mile arm reaching into Lake Michigan with five state parks, working cherry orchards, artist communities, and a shoreline alternating between sandy beaches, limestone bluffs, and sheltered harbors. The village holds one of the peninsula's densest concentrations of restaurants, galleries, and waterfront access. Summer is decisively the season on Door County. Reserve well ahead.

Sun Retreats Fond Du Lac East

20 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Sun Retreats Fond Du Lac East in Glenbeulah, WI, offers 20 full-hookup RV sites, 9 cabins, and 3 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Site categories cover the range: elite back-in, standard back-in, standard full-hookup 30-amp, pull-thru water-and-electric, and water-and-electric 20-amp. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Seasonal stays are available across three of the site types, which is worth asking about if you're planning a whole summer. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and a dump station cover the logistics. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The recreation is resort-scale: an outdoor pool, a water park, mini-golf, a game room and arcade, a bar, on-site dining, a snack bar, a pavilion, pickleball, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, billiards, horseshoes, a playground, and a lake and walking trails through 103 wooded acres. Glenbeulah sits in the rolling hills of Wisconsin's Kettle Moraine region. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Ask about seasonal rates if you're staying the summer.

Leelanau Pines Campground

52 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 5 Glamping Sites

Leelanau Pines Campground in Cedar, Michigan, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites, nine cabins, and five glamping sites on the southern shore of Lake Leelanau, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Lakefront basic and lakefront standard categories join premium and standard back-in tiers, with a disc golf course, jumping pillow, beach, and bar. Fifty-two back-in sites run in lakefront basic, lakefront standard, premium back-in, and standard back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lakefront tiers are the ones to request, and offering both a basic and a standard lakefront option keeps waterfront within reach at two price points. Nine cabins — including two luxury types sleeping up to eight — and five glamping sites round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A disc golf course, jumping pillow, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, gaga ball, corn hole, walking trails, a playground, on-site dining, and a bar fill the grounds, with the lake supporting boating, fishing, and swimming. Wine and beer tasting and a golf course are nearby. The Leelanau Peninsula is one of Michigan's most celebrated summer regions, where Lake Michigan's moderating climate produces cherry orchards and a serious wine country, with Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City close. Summer is decisively the season in northern Michigan, with fall color drawing a strong second wave. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Wedges Creek Hideaway

12 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 1 House

Wedges Creek Hideaway in Greenwood, Wisconsin, offers 12 RV sites and six cabin and house units on a third-generation family farm, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 28 feet. Back-in categories at each amperage join a dry back-in tier, with a disc golf course, brick oven pizza, walking trails, and a barn. Twelve back-in sites span 20-amp, 30-amp, 50-amp, 30/50-amp, and dry categories, carrying water and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 28 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around carefully: the 28-foot cap rules out most modern RVs, so this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers, and the sites carry water and electric rather than sewer. The dry tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate. Six cabins and houses round out the lodging. A general store, showers, firewood, and a pavilion handle the practical side. The barn reception area can be rented for groups of 15 or more who want covered seating. A disc golf course, walking trails, hiking, gaga ball, and a playground fill the grounds, with the creek running alongside and planned activities through the season. The property operates as a wedding venue. The brick oven pizza restaurant is what most guests mention first, and it is a genuine draw rather than a campground snack bar. Clark County sits in the dairy country and mixed hardwood forest at the geographic heart of Wisconsin. Summer is the season. Reserve ahead, and check your rig against the 28-foot limit.

from $22/night

Tippy Dam Campground and Cabins

17 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites

Tippy Dam Campground and Cabins in Wellston, Michigan, offers 17 RV sites, three cabins, and 11 tent sites on the Manistee River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. A single 20/30/50-amp category joins a general store, dump station, playground, and casino, inside the Manistee National Forest. Seventeen sites carry electric service on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Plan around the hookups — these are electric sites rather than full hookup, so arrive with full water and empty tanks and use the dump station. Accessible sites are available. Three cabins and 11 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, and showers handle the practical side. One firewood note: you may bring your own, but not oak with the bark still attached, because of oak wilt. The river is the recreation, with fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boats, and swimming from the property, plus biking, horseshoes, and planned activities. A casino sits on the property, with skiing, a golf course, and lakes nearby. Pets are welcome. The campground takes its name from Tippy Dam, the hydroelectric facility on the Manistee, and the tailwater below it is one of Michigan's most celebrated trout and salmon fisheries. The fall king salmon run draws anglers from across the Midwest, with steelhead following through winter and spring. Fall salmon season and summer both drive demand. Reserve well ahead for September and October.

Whispering Surf Campground at Bass Lake

37 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 6 Tent Sites, 2 Cottages

Whispering Surf Campground at Bass Lake in Pentwater, MI, offers 37 full-hookup RV sites, 3 cabin and cottage rentals, and 6 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 44 feet. Sites come in three types — full-hookup back-ins, full-hookup pull-thrus, and water-and-electric back-ins — each with a fire pit, picnic table, and site-delivered WiFi. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and a community fire pit cover the essentials. Dogs are welcome — non-aggressive breeds, up to two per site — and there's a dog park and a pet washing station on the grounds. Bass Lake frontage drives the recreation: boat docks and boat and kayak rentals for fishing, paddling, boating, and swimming, plus a recreation center, playground, walking trails, and horseshoes. The dark sky over the lake makes for good stargazing. Pentwater sits in Oceana County, with Bass Lake at the campground's edge and Lake Michigan's beaches and a state park a short drive west. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Michigan's summer season is short and this stretch of shoreline books early.

from $45/night

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 Bay Premier Camping Resort

58 RV Sites, 18 Cabins, 41 Tent Sites, 3 Cottages, 3 Houses

River Bay Premier Camping Resort in Lyndon, Wisconsin, offers 58 RV sites, 24 cabin, cottage, and house units, and 41 tent sites on the Wisconsin River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Buddy sites join full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in and pull-through categories, five miles from Wisconsin Dells. Fifty-eight sites span back-in water-and-electric, back-in water-and-electric buddy, pull-thru, and pull-thru water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Confirm your tier before booking, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. The buddy sites suit two rigs traveling together. Twenty-four cabins, cottages, and houses and 41 tent sites round out an unusually deep lodging inventory. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat rentals opening the river for boating and swimming. A game room, basketball, playground, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Five miles from downtown Wisconsin Dells is the sweet spot — close enough to reach everything the Waterpark Capital of the World offers, far enough that the wooded riverfront setting stays genuinely quiet. Mirror Lake State Park, the Dells Army Ducks, Wisconsin Deer Park, and river fishing are all close. Summer is decisively the season in the Dells. Reserve well ahead for June through August.

Warrens Lodging

30 Villas

Warrens Lodging in Warrens, Wisconsin, offers thoughtfully designed villas with full kitchens, private baths, lofts, crafted wood decor, cable TV, WiFi, and fire rings, alongside complimentary access to the neighboring Jellystone Park's water resort. A lazy river, wave pool, splash pad, and mini-golf sit next door behind a gated entrance. The villas are the accommodation here — this is lodging rather than an RV park, with no campsites or hookups. Multiple floor plans are available, each with a full kitchen, private bath, and loft, plus a fire ring outside. Laundry, restrooms, showers, a general store, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. The water resort access is the draw. Guests get complimentary use of the neighboring Jellystone Park's lazy river, wave pool, water park, splash pad, and inflatable water obstacle course — a complete family water program without the campground. On the lodging side, a hot tub and sauna, mini-golf, craft room, snack bar, on-site dining, golf cart rentals, walking trails, a dog park, playground, and pavilion fill the property, with gaga ball, shuffleboard, basketball, volleyball, gem mining, and fishing besides. Planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Warrens sits in Monroe County, Wisconsin's cranberry capital, where the surrounding bogs supply the crop that makes the state the nation's largest producer. The western Wisconsin lakes and forest region surrounds it. Summer family demand is decisively the peak. Reserve well ahead.

Timber Ridge Resort

Timber Ridge Resort in Traverse City, Michigan, offers RV sites, cabins, cottages, and yurts in Grand Traverse County's cherry orchard and vineyard countryside along the Lake Michigan shore — a four-accommodation-format resort in the heart of one of the Midwest's most desirable travel destinations, where the cold-water bay scenery, the nationally recognized wine and culinary industry, the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and Traverse City's genuinely excellent arts and dining culture combine to make this stretch of northwestern Lower Michigan one of the most broadly appealing regional destinations in the Great Lakes. The resort's accommodation range from full-hookup RV sites to basic and deluxe cabin configurations to yurts gives it the flexibility to serve the full spectrum of Traverse City-area visitors. Full hookups for RV travelers and a range of cabin, cottage, and yurt options give Timber Ridge Resort the accommodation diversity to serve groups of different sizes, equipment situations, and comfort preferences across the cherry blossom, summer, fall color, and ice wine seasons that define Traverse City's four-season appeal. The resort's Traverse City location gives guests the immediate access to the town's downtown breweries, restaurants, galleries, and farmers markets that makes TC one of the few small Michigan cities consistently drawing visitors from Chicago, Detroit, and Columbus specifically for its locally produced food and drink culture. Pets are welcome. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, 22 miles west of Traverse City, is a National Park Service unit protecting 71,000 acres of Lake Michigan shoreline, perched dunes up to 400 feet above the lake surface, hardwood forest, and the offshore Manitou Islands — one of the most scenically varied National Lakeshore units on the Great Lakes and the site of the Dune Climb, where visitors ascend 130 feet of loose sand for a Lake Michigan viewshed that ABC's Good Morning America viewers voted "the Most Beautiful Place in America" in 2011. The North and South Manitou Islands, accessible by ferry from Leland, provide backcountry island hiking and camping in a Great Lakes wilderness setting. The Old Mission Peninsula and Leelanau Peninsula wine regions surrounding Traverse City have emerged as nationally significant producers of Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and cool-climate white varieties in a viticultural region whose 45th parallel latitude and Lake Michigan microclimate create growing conditions directly analogous to Alsace and the Mosel — a comparison that serious wine consumers have validated through consistent critical recognition since the 1990s. The peninsula tasting room circuit, accessible by bicycle from downtown Traverse City, gives guests the wine tourism experience integrated into the cherry orchard and Bay scenery landscape rather than separated into a discrete industrial wine district. Timber Ridge Resort operates from spring through fall in northern Michigan's Great Lakes climate, with the National Cherry Festival in early July representing Traverse City's highest-demand tourism week and the August color transition beginning the fall foliage season that peaks through October in the maple and beech hardwood forests of the Sleeping Bear and Leelanau country. Ice wine production from frozen Riesling grapes in January and February gives wine enthusiasts a winter-season reason to visit that the summer tourism economy obscures. Reserve accommodations months ahead for the Cherry Festival and peak August weekends, when Traverse City accommodation across all categories fills from the Midwest's established Traverse City visitor market.
