The camper was perfect for our camping trip. The camper was clean and clearly well maintained. The bunks were great for the kids and the queen bed was perfect for adults. The add-on grill was fantastic for cooking. Justin and his wife set up on our site, then we were ready to camp! Communication was excellent. Justin was a fantastic host! Thanks.

Peninsula State Park, WI, United States
How to get to Peninsula State Park
The park's main entrance is on Highway 42 in Fish Creek, about 75 miles (1 hour 30 minutes) northeast of Green Bay and roughly 240 miles (4 hours 15 minutes) from Chicago via I-43. Highway 42 through Door County is a two-lane road with tight village centers in Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, and Ephraim, so larger Class A motorhomes and long fifth wheels should drive cautiously and watch for low-hanging trees in the village cores. Inside the park, Skyline Road and Shore Road include sharp curves and short grades that are tight for rigs over 35 feet. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Green Bay-Austin Straubel International (GRB).
