Marinette camping overview
Marinette sits at the mouth of the Menominee River on Green Bay, in a corner of northeastern Wisconsin known for waterfalls, flowages, and mixed hardwood forest. Marinette County promotes itself as the waterfall capital of Wisconsin, and the surrounding public lands include Governor Thompson State Park and the Governor Earl Peshtigo River State Forest, both built around the dammed Peshtigo River system.
RV renters have a mix of options within roughly an hour of the city. Private parks such as Countryside Motel and RV Sites, Coyote RV Park and Campground, and Timberline Resort and Campground handle travelers who want hookups, while Monument Point Camping serves those looking for quieter, water-focused sites. Families driving south to the Door Peninsula often base at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Sturgeon Bay for pools, planned activities, and easy access to Sturgeon Bay attractions.
Marinette County itself operates a network of small public campgrounds along the Peshtigo and Thunder rivers, with reservations handled through the county parks system rather than the state DNR.
Things to do near Marinette
Waterfalls are the headline attraction. Marinette County contains a chain of publicly accessible falls, including Veteran's Falls, Dave's Falls, and Long Slide Falls, most reachable by short walks from county park lots. The Peshtigo River offers fly-fishing on its free-flowing stretches and some of the Midwest's longest continuous whitewater for guided rafting trips.
On the water, Caldron Falls and High Falls flowages are the main draws for boating, kayaking, and bass and walleye fishing. Governor Thompson State Park has a swimming beach on Woods Lake, roughly six miles of shoreline on Caldron Falls Flowage, and about 16 miles of hiking and cross-country ski trails.
Campers staying closer to Sturgeon Bay can combine campground pool days with Potawatomi State Park, Door County beaches, and the shipbuilding museums along the bay.

47° / 34°F 65 mmMuddy sites, high rivers, blackflies emerge in May.

The practical camping season runs from around May through mid-October. Most Marinette County parks operate on a late-spring through fall calendar, and most private RV parks in the area follow a similar frost-driven schedule. June through August is the peak booking window, with weekends at Governor Thompson State Park and popular private resorts filling well in advance.
Spring is cool and wet. Snowmelt and spring rains keep the Peshtigo River running high, which is good for whitewater outfitters but can leave riverside sites muddy. Water systems at state properties, including shower buildings and flush toilets, may not be running until mid-May. Blackflies and mosquitoes are worst in late May and June, so screen rooms and repellent matter.
Fall brings color through late September and early October, cooler nights, and fewer bugs, but shoulder-season campers should confirm that showers and water are still turned on. Winter camping is limited: Governor Thompson State Park stays open year-round for reservations, but most services and hookups shut down once temperatures drop.
How to book near Marinette
Wisconsin state park and state forest sites, including Governor Thompson State Park and the boat-in sites on Caldron Falls and High Falls flowages in the Governor Earl Peshtigo River State Forest, are reserved through the Wisconsin DNR's Going to Camp system at wisconsin.goingtocamp.com or by phone at 1-888-947-2757. Reservations open up to 11 months before the arrival date, and summer weekends at electric sites often go quickly after opening.
Marinette County parks use a separate county reservation system through the Marinette County parks office. Private campgrounds such as Countryside Motel and RV Sites, Coyote RV Park and Campground, Timberline Resort and Campground, Monument Point Camping, and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Sturgeon Bay take bookings directly through their own websites or by phone. A Wisconsin state park vehicle admission pass is required at DNR properties in addition to campsite fees.
What to expect in Marinette
Sites in this region range from hookup pull-throughs at private RV parks to non-electric wooded sites at state properties. Governor Thompson State Park has 100 sites across three loops, with only 16 electric sites in the east loop, so RV renters who need power should filter carefully when reserving. A sanitary dump and fill station sits on the road into the campground.
Cell service is reliable in the city of Marinette and along US-41 and US-141 but drops off quickly in the state forest and along the flowages. Download offline maps before heading in. Firewood should be sourced locally to reduce the risk of spreading forest pests.
Black bears are present in the county, so food should be stored in the RV or in provided bear-proof boxes at boat-in sites. Mosquitoes and ticks are active from late spring through early fall.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Marinette, WI
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Marinette, WI?
RV rental in Marinette, WI is one of the most affordable ways to explore Wisconsin's Northwoods. On RVezy, you'll generally find travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes ranging from $175 to $275 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes from $250 to $400 per night. Campervan rental Marinette options often land in the $125 to $200 range and are great for couples chasing waterfalls. For a cheap RV rental Marinette deal, aim for mid-week pickups in late May or September, when pricing tends to drop and the Peshtigo River campgrounds are quieter. Book at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead of Fourth of July weekend, when Marinette County's waterfalls draw heavy traffic and the best-priced rigs go quickly.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Marinette,%20WisconsinDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Marinette, WI?
A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Marinette, Wisconsin for nearly every motorhome on RVezy. The vast majority of Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers on the platform are well within standard driver license limits. RVezy generally requires renters to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and your ID is verified securely through the booking process before pickup. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your home license. Most first-time renters are surprised at how simple the paperwork is, leaving more time for chasing Long Slide Falls and Dave's Falls.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my RV rental in Marinette?
You're covered from the moment you book. Every RV rental in Marinette, WI through RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so a flat tire on Highway 141 or a battery hiccup at Veteran's Falls Campground is handled with one phone call. The protection plan covers physical damage to the vehicle during your trip, giving you real peace of mind without buying a separate policy. RVezy offers multiple coverage tiers, and you (the guest, not the host) choose the level that fits your trip during checkout. Pick a higher tier if you're tackling Marinette County's gravel forest roads or driving the Menominee River backroads, where loose stone can chip paint or windshields.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Marinette RV rental?
Booking your Marinette RV trip is low-risk. RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, which includes a money-back grace period right after booking, plus protections for unexpected events like severe weather, common considerations when traveling through Wisconsin's Northwoods spring thaw or autumn storm season. Because RVezy administers the policy directly, you don't need to negotiate with the host or hunt through the listing for fine print. If your plans change, just contact RVezy support and they'll walk you through your options. If a host cancels on you, RVezy will refund you or provide travel credits. That kind of flexibility is exactly why first-time renters feel comfortable locking in a date months ahead of peak waterfall season.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV trip from Marinette?
Absolutely, and Marinette County is one of the most dog-welcoming corners of Wisconsin. To find a pet-friendly RV rental Marinette hosts, just toggle the 'Pet-Friendly' filter on RVezy and you'll see rigs whose owners specifically welcome four-legged passengers (some charge a small pet fee, clearly listed on the page). Once you're on the road, your pup will love that all 15 of Marinette County's waterfalls allow leashed dogs, including the easy boardwalk at Dave's Falls and the wooded trails at Twelve Foot Falls County Park. Most county campgrounds, including Goodman Park and Veteran's Memorial Campground in Crivitz, are pet-friendly with a leash rule. Pro tip: pack a tick check kit, the Northwoods has plenty of them in summer.
exploremarinettecounty.com/where-to-play/activities/waterfalls/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Marinette?
Yes, and RV delivery Marinette is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you're new to RVing. Many RVezy hosts in Marinette and nearby Peshtigo, Crivitz, and Menominee offer to deliver the rig directly to popular spots like Twin Bridge County Park, Goodman Park, or your private cabin on the Peshtigo River. They'll level it, hook up water and electric, prime the propane, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Use the 'Delivery' filter when searching to see which hosts offer it and what they charge (usually a flat fee plus a per-mile rate). Delivery is a game-changer if you're flying into Green Bay's airport, about 60 miles south, and want to skip the towing learning curve.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Marinette,%20WisconsinHow many miles can I drive on my Marinette RV rental?
You've got plenty of room to roam. Mileage allowances are set by each host, but most listings around Marinette include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and a good number of hosts offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, ideal for bigger loops through Door County or the Upper Peninsula. The included mileage is clearly shown on each listing, and additional miles typically run $0.30 to $0.45 each. For perspective, a full Marinette County waterfall loop covering Long Slide, Smalley, Dave's, Twelve Foot, and Veteran's Falls is only about 80 miles round-trip from downtown Marinette, easily fitting within a single day's allowance. If you're planning to head up to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (about 180 miles north), filter for unlimited-mileage rigs from the start.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Marinette,%20WisconsinWhere are the best campgrounds near Marinette, WI for RVs?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping Marinette options. Top picks include Twin Bridge County Park on the Peshtigo River with electric sites and views of the High Falls Flowage, Veteran's Memorial Campground in Crivitz with wooded sites next to Veteran's Falls, Goodman Park Campground with riverside sites along the Peshtigo, and J.W. Wells State Park just across the border in Michigan with Green Bay shoreline sites. Marinette County parks generally operate from mid-May through mid-October, and a daily vehicle pass is required for entry. Reserve through the Marinette County Parks reservation system as soon as your dates are firm.
marinettecountywi.gov/229/CampingWhen is the best time of year for a Marinette RV trip?
The sweet spot for a Marinette RV trip is late May through early October, when all 15 county waterfalls are flowing and every campground is open. June through August brings warm days averaging 75 to 82°F and cool nights around 55 to 60°F, perfect for campfires along the Menominee River. September is the local insider's favorite: fall colors peak around the third week of the month, mosquitoes are gone, and campgrounds at Goodman Park and Twin Bridge are noticeably calmer. Winter RVing is generally not available here, since Marinette County campgrounds close October 15 and overnight lows from December through February regularly drop below 10°F. If you love shoulder-season quiet, target the second week of September for the best combination of color, weather, and availability.
exploremarinettecounty.com/where-to-stay/camping/Is renting an RV in Marinette a good idea if it's my first time?
Yes, Marinette is genuinely one of the friendliest places to try your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through the generator, water systems, slide-outs, and dump procedures so nothing feels mysterious. The roads around Marinette are forgiving for beginners: US-41 is a flat four-lane highway, County Road W out to the waterfalls is quiet and well-marked, and there's very little stop-and-go traffic compared to Milwaukee or the Twin Cities. Choose a Class C motorhome or campervan for an easier driving feel, message your host with any questions before booking, and consider delivery if you'd rather skip driving entirely on day one. Pro tip: practice backing into a site at Marinette City Park, the 9-site layout is small and low-pressure.
travelwisconsin.com/places-to-go/marinetteWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my Marinette trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so whether you're parked at Long Slide Falls or pulled over on Highway 141 near Pembine, one phone call gets help dispatched. The roadside team handles flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing to the nearest qualified repair shop. Your host is also just a message away through the RVezy app and usually knows a trusted local mechanic in Marinette or Crivitz. Cell service can be spotty along the back roads to Twelve Foot Falls and Smalley Falls, so screenshot the roadside assistance number before you head into the deep Northwoods.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take my Marinette RV rental on a longer road trip or across state lines?
Absolutely, an RV road trip from Marinette is one of the most underrated journeys in the Midwest. Crossing the Menominee River bridge puts you in Michigan's Upper Peninsula within minutes, and US-41 makes interstate travel seamless. Popular routes include Door County, WI (about 75 miles south to Sturgeon Bay), Green Bay, WI (about 55 miles south), Escanaba, MI (about 55 miles north), Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (about 180 miles north), and Mackinac Bridge (about 230 miles northeast). Travel throughout the U.S. is allowed, and many hosts also permit cross-border trips into Canada, just confirm with the host before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals due to insurance limitations. Pro tip: the UP's Garden Peninsula is a hidden gem only 90 minutes from Marinette.
travelwisconsin.com/places-to-go/marinetteWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I plan for in Marinette?
Budgeting for fuel is easier than you'd think. Class B campervans around Marinette typically get 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes return 8 to 12 MPG, and larger Class A rigs land around 6 to 10 MPG. Wisconsin gas prices tend to run a few cents below the national average, with regular unleaded in Marinette and Peshtigo recently hovering in the mid-$3 range. For a typical 4-day, 250-mile loop through the waterfall country in a Class C, plan on roughly $80 to $120 in fuel. Fill up in Marinette or Menominee before heading west toward Crivitz and Wausaukee, where stations are spaced further apart. Pro tip: most local stations on US-41 have diesel pumps with truck-friendly clearance if your rental runs on diesel.
travelwisconsin.com/places-to-go/marinetteHow far in advance should I book a campground near Marinette?
Book your campsite the moment your RV dates are confirmed. Marinette County Parks accept reservations through their online system, and waterfall-adjacent campgrounds like Twin Bridge, Goodman Park, and Veteran's Memorial in Crivitz fill quickly for any weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Wisconsin State Parks use the Wisconsin DNR reservation system and open bookings 11 months in advance, with prime sites snapped up within hours. For July and August, aim to reserve 3 to 6 months ahead; for September shoulder season, 2 to 4 weeks is usually fine. Midweek arrivals (Sunday through Wednesday) at Marinette County parks are dramatically easier to score and often quieter for waterfall hikes.
marinettecountywi.gov/229/CampingWhat are driving conditions like around Marinette, WI?
Driving an RV around Marinette is refreshingly relaxed. US-41 and US-141 are flat, well-maintained four-lane and two-lane highways with generous shoulders and minimal congestion, even in summer. The waterfall loop on county roads like CTH-W, CTH-X, and CTH-C is gently rolling with occasional gravel stretches near trailheads at Long Slide Falls and Twelve Foot Falls, take it slow on those last few hundred yards. Watch for white-tailed deer at dawn and dusk, especially in the woods around Crivitz and Amberg. Winter (November through April) brings snow, ice, and salted roads, which is why most rentals operate May through October. Pro tip: avoid the narrow, low-clearance Stephenson Island bridge route in downtown Marinette with taller Class A rigs, stick to the US-41 main bridge instead.
wisconsindot.gov/Pages/travel/road/road-conditions/default.aspxWhat hookups and amenities will I find at campgrounds near Marinette?
Marinette-area campgrounds offer a comfortable mix of options. Marinette County parks like Twin Bridge and Veteran's Memorial provide electric (20/30-amp) sites with shared water spigots, shower houses, flush toilets, and dump stations, but generally not full hookups at the site. Private parks in the area often offer full water, electric (30/50-amp), and sewer hookups along with WiFi and laundry. J.W. Wells State Park across the Michigan border has electric sites and a central dump station. To dump tanks and fill fresh water within Marinette, head to Twin Bridge County Park. Bring a 30-amp to 20-amp adapter, smaller county sites sometimes only have a household-style outlet for shorter rigs.
marinettecountywi.gov/229/CampingWhat's inside the RVs available for rent in Marinette?
You'll be impressed by how well-equipped these rigs are. Most motorhome rental Marinette listings come with real beds (queen-size in the master, plus bunks or convertible dinettes), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an indoor bathroom with shower and toilet, climate control with both air conditioning and propane furnace, and seatbelts for everyone traveling. Many include a generator for boondocking, a TV/DVD combo, Bluetooth stereo, and outdoor awning with chairs. Larger Class A and Class C rigs often add an outdoor kitchen, second TV, or WiFi booster. Listings spell out exactly what's included with photos and an amenities checklist, so you'll know before you book. Pro tip: message the host to confirm linens, kitchenware, and a starter pack of propane and toilet chemicals are included, most Marinette hosts throw these in for free.
travelwisconsin.com/places-to-go/marinetteWhat add-ons can I get and how does pickup and drop-off work?
Hosts in Marinette make customizing your trip easy. Popular add-ons include camping chairs and outdoor tables, kitchen and linen packages, bikes and kayaks (handy for the Peshtigo River), generators, portable grills, fire pits, and even kid-friendly extras like camping cots and outdoor games. Each add-on price is listed transparently on the listing page. Pickup is typically at the host's home in Marinette, Peshtigo, or Crivitz between 1 and 4 PM, with drop-off the next morning by 11 AM, your host will confirm exact times in the booking message. If you'd rather skip driving on day one, choose a host offering RV delivery Marinette and they'll bring it to your campground or vacation rental. Pro tip: ask about the late drop-off option, many hosts allow it for a small fee.
travelwisconsin.com/places-to-go/marinetteHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple, secure, and handled through the RVezy platform, so you'll never need to hand cash to a host. When you book your RV rental in Marinette, WI, you pay the rental total and applicable fees via credit card on the RVezy website or app. A separate security deposit is placed as a pre-authorization (a hold, not a charge) on your card a few days before your trip begins, and it's released after drop-off as long as the RV is returned in the same condition. The hold amount varies by rig and is shown during checkout. Snap quick photos of the interior and exterior at pickup and drop-off to keep the deposit return smooth and stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs Marinette a good base for a family RV trip?
Marinette is a fantastic launchpad for a family RV trip Marinette adventure. Kids love the county's waterfalls (Dave's Falls has shallow pools safe for wading), the swimming beach and playground at Twin Bridge County Park, and the wildlife viewing at Seagull Bar State Natural Area right in town. Within an hour you can reach the sandy Lake Michigan beaches at J.W. Wells State Park, ziplines and rafting on the Peshtigo River, and Henes Park in nearby Menominee, MI, with its small zoo and Lake Michigan shoreline. Most RVezy rigs in the area sleep 4 to 8, with bunks, dinette beds, and outdoor space for games. Plan a midweek campfire at Goodman Park, the night skies over Marinette County are incredible thanks to minimal light pollution.
