River Park Campground

You don't have to look far beyond town to plug into nature. Take your campervan rental from Menominee to Peshtigo Harbor State Wildlife Area within half an hour's drive of your campsite at River Park Campground, and you’ll be following in the historic wake of Native American Indians, early explorers, and fur traders who used the Peshtigo River Trail as a corridor for travel and shipment of goods. Glide on a canoe and spy on river birds like osprey, eagles, and great blue herons. From the water, you’ll better appreciate natural shorelines and sandbars and channels dredged at the height of logging days. On land, the two-mile Hemlock Curve Nature Trail takes you past a historic grove of hemlocks. Beginner skiers can test the six-mile trail system at Woods Road Ski Trail, where wildlife tracks in the snow are regularly spotted. About the same distance from your campground lies the Menominee River State Park and Recreation Area. Straddling both Michigan and Wisconsin, the park encompasses more than 7,000 acres of land where several hiking trails await the adventurous. Give your legs a good workout on the Pemene Falls and the Sand Portage Hiking Trails (managed by different units) if you wish to stay on designated and maintained tracks. For whitewater action, raft near the Sand Portage Falls. Or explore the 17 miles of undeveloped river corridor where rocky gorges and towering pines make for a pleasant canoeing trip. When you rent a camper near River Park Campground, you’re well-placed to journey to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the first designated as such in the United States. The multi-colored streaks of mineral stain that adorn the face of scoured sandstone is another reason to book an RV in Menominee County and head to the northlands. Towering sandstone cliffs, wild shoreline, and sand dunes shaped by Lake Superior make for a truly breathtaking view. Explore the nearly 100 miles of trails and admire the delicate beauty of wildflowers, launch a boat to gaze at miles of colorful sandstone cliffs and waterfalls, and venture into the Beaver Basin Wilderness to soak up the solitude.
