We have created the campground page to assist you in deciding whether you would like to stay at a given campground. We currently have a 40' Diesel Motorhome with three slides; prior to 2007 we had a 35' Gas Motorhome with one slide. We do not rate campground bathroom facilities as we seldom use them; we prefer the convenience of our own restroom. We use the various campground links on the left side of this page in determining where to stay.

Happy Camping!

Rainbow's End Campground

Location: Reedsville, WI
Site#: 13, then 21
Type of hookups: Water, 50 AMP, and at site 21 we had a 300 gallon black tank (which they pumped upon request for 9.00/pump).
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: Yes depending on the site, but with our Alpha Network Adapter it worked fined. We also used our Verizon Aircard
Cable: No, but Sateliite and Air coverage was fine.
Pros: Nice campground for us in our hometown area with 50 amp hookup. This campground does not have a lot of amenities that attracts kids, so it is a very quite campground which is what we enjoyed about it SO MUCH! The owner Norm goes out of his way to make sure you are happy and have what you need to be comfortable.
Cons: The only thing that would make it better for us would be sewer hookups, but that is not something that is easy to find in WI campgrounds.
Cost: $420.00/ month (This includes electricity, but does not include the pumping of the black tank at 9.00/pump. We pumped out about every 2 weeks as we do our own laundry).
Rating: 7.75
Notes: This campground worked out very well for us while we completed all our annual checkups, and visited with family and friends. We will spend a couple months back here next summer.

Villiage Inn on the Lake - Two Rivers, WI


Location: Two Rivers, WI
Site#: 20
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: We made it into the sight, but they were very tight and way too narrow for Big Rigs. There are a few sites that maybe easier to manevuer into.
Wi-Fi: Yes
Cable: No
Pros: Close to the activities we were looking for (biking along Lake Michigan), and close proximity to our home.
Cons: Very narrow and short sites, no distance between sites (the group next to us had to have their chairs and campfire in the road; as well as their tow/toad vehicles), and difficult to get into for Big-Rigs. Also lots of road noise from the Highway, and a bit pricey.

Cost: $50.00
Rating: 6.5
Notes: This campground is NOT on Lake Michigan, their is a highway between the campground and the lake.

Point Beach State Park - Two Rivers, WI

Location: Two Rivers, WI
Site#: 116
Type of hookups: 30 AMP electric only.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes, a few sites available
Wi-Fi: No
Cable: No
Pros: Very nice State Park one of our favorite in WI, a few large site for big rigs. The park has a very nice hiking trail (7.2 miles) and biking trail. The bike trail connects to another trail and you can ride along the Lake Michigan shoreline through Two Rivers and Manitowoc (roundtrip ride atleast 25 miles)
Cons: You need to book 10-11 months in advance to get a site; and the road in the campground area is a bit narrow so go very slow. No cell phone or wi-fi coverage.

Rating: 6.75
Notes: The dump station is very easy to get in and out.
