Peninsula State Park, WI RV Rentals and Motorhome Rentals

Located between Fish Creek and Ephraim and just a short drive from Green Bay, Wisconsin, Peninsula State Park forms part of a nearly eight-mile-long coastline. Full of bluffs, coastal wetlands, forests, and meadows, Peninsula is considered to be one of the most biodiverse parks in the state. Whether you like to watch the light fade at the beach, venture through mysterious forest, or chase the thrill of water sports, Peninsula State Park has something for everyone.

Established in 1910, Peninsula was Wisconsin's second state park. The park was a hot spot for summer picnics, concerts, and sporting events which locals and tourists attended in the thousands. Home to spectacular forests, 468 campsites, and a shoreline with breathtaking views of Green Bay and Lake Michigan, Peninsula is one of the most popular attractions in the Midwest. Search for an RV in Door County, park your RV rental at one of the state park's campgrounds, and fully embrace the wildlife and nature this magnificent state park has to offer.

Getting Outdoors

The coastline offers Peninsula State Park campers an opportunity to get out and explore the park on foot. Take a stroll to Nicolet Beach, where you’ll find a snack bar, equipment rentals, and stunning views of Horseshoe Island. The pristine sands of Nicolet Beach keep campers coming back all year round. The beach is especially popular with families thanks to the shallow water, making it safe for young children to play and enjoy. After a long day of exploring the park, just take off your shoes and dip your feet in!

Prefer to play on the water rather than in it? Launch your kayak from Nicolet Bay’s boat ramp, or cast your line from Weborg Pier in search of trout. Stroll along one of the softly undulating trails suitable for the whole family, or if you’re looking for a real adventure, take on some of the mountain bike trails that cover 12 miles of scenic forest terrain and offer thrillseekers of all ability levels something to get the heart racing. Winter wanderers can also enjoy a spot of ice fishing, snowmobiling, and sledding.
