John W.  Have you ever camped in Kohler State Park?  Did you like it? Any other favorites in the state?  How about the Bayfield area? Lee

Our favorite is Point Beach, north of Two Rivers.  If you get Trailer Life, they did a short piece on the museum in Two Rivers, the birthplace of the ice cream sundae.  Sitting on the beach on a sunny day, watching the waves roll in with the Rawley's Pt lighthouse in the background almost makes you think you're out in Maine instead of Wisconsin.
 Kohler is nice, but quite busy since is it just south of Sheboygan and many of the locals will reserve a campsite for the maximum 21 day period in summer, park their rig on it, and go to work in town in the morning.
Then they head to the park after work.  Can't blame them, it's a pretty cheap vacation home.
 For Bayfield, take the ferry across to Madeline Island and stay at Big Bay State Park there.  Check the price on the ferry as you might want to go back and forth from the island to the mainland by foot or bike as it's much cheaper.  Since the ferry docks right in Bayfield, really no need for a car.  Just south of Bayfield, in Washburn, are two nice city campgrounds.  We've stayed at the one on the south side of town.  That one is very open, but the view across the bay at night is fantastic.
The north side city campground is more wooded.
 Door County, everyone wants to get into Peninsula State Park.  We've found Potawatomi is easier to get into, and just outside Sturgeon Bay.

Some people like Wyalusing over by Prairie du Chien.
 Depends what you're looking for.  We don't go for hookups, so what we like you may not.

Thanks for the great tips John.  We love "Pot Park" as it is called
by the locals here. It seems to be a big secret compared to Peninsula Park .  We belong to the Potawatomi Friends group and are attending their fish boil dinner on Monday.  They have a very active Friends group.  They are open for camping in the winter also, for those who like to ski etc.  We looked at Wyalusing one time and found it to be pretty hilly.  Maybe we weren't looking in the right places, but the sites seemed more for tenters than RV's.  Are hoping to get up to the Bayfield area in late June, so thanks for the hints there.
