Autumn is a gorgeous time to round up the family for a camping trip! Here are a few of my favorite spots:
- Long Lake Campground – The Kettle Moraine area is a pretty special place. Long Lake Campground has 200 sites, including 16 electrical campsites and 3 disability accessible campsites. Hurry though! The campground stays open until mid-October.
- Camping For the Fun of It – If you want to impress the kiddos, you have to check out one of 13 Camping for the Fun of It campgrounds in Wisconsin. From jumping pillows to mini golf to a giant shopping cart, your family will never get bored!
- Devils Lake State Park – This Baraboo landmark is a gem year-round but it is especially gorgeous during the fall months. There are tons of great trails at Devils Lake, each providing varying levels of difficulty, diversity and magnificent views.
- Diamond Lake Family Campground – Nestled among the picturesque streams and rivers of northeastern Wisconsin, Diamond Lake Family Campground in Porterfield is a peaceful getaway with so much to offer. Outdoor recreation is plentiful here thanks to Mother Nature: Embark on a rafting or canoe trip on the Peshtigo River or discover any one of the many stunning waterfalls in Marinette County.
- Big Arbor Vitae Lake – This beautiful 1,090-acre lake with clear water and a nice sandy bottom is surrounded by the beauty of the Northwoods. And an extra perk for you fisherman: Big Arbor Vitae is also a Class “A” Musky and Walleye fishing lake!
- Big Bay State Park– Pack up the smores ingredients and a few extra blankets and head to Madeline Island for some beach camping. Night owls will love stargazing from the island!
…as for what our fans say on Twitter:
8. @AlexLovesPack52 recommends Embarrass River ATV Park & Campground in Tigerton because it's a perfect combination of adventure and quiet camping. Tigerton may be a small town but between ATV trips, you can get lost in a shopping excursion at a few of the local Amish shops.
9. @greglovell2 says Brunet Island State Park is the place to camp thanks to the great paddling and biking opportunities. Plus, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. We think @greglovell2 is right on the money with this suggestion. Love camping in Wisconsin? Share your thoughts with us on Twitter (@discoverwi).

Crystal lake campground near Minoqua is beautiful, always booked have to book a year in advance, another good one is koa in the dells
Rock Island State Park - very secluded, lots of hiking, beautiful beach
Peninsula State Park - so many activities, but definitely rent bikes; it's the best way to see the park
Mirror Lake State Park - shh, this one is our family's secret getaway. Close to the waterparks, but nobody seems to know it exists. Pretty little lake and you can rent canoes & kayaks very cheaply.
interesting post but one thing is missing that is camping pillow. Of course where you need travel items for a camping trip, you will also need a camping pillow for a good night's sleep. so please visit this website
