Wagon Trail Campground

Newport State Park in Ellison Bay is situated on the western shores of Lake Michigan. One of the most popular activities in the park is stargazing. In fact, Newport State Park was designated as an International Dark Sky Park. Because of its designation, the 2,372-acre park has minimal developments. As such, Newport State Park is a great place to visit if you truly want to immerse yourself in the wilderness and connect with nature when you're camping at Wagon Trail Campground. Take pleasure in hiking, fishing, swimming, kayaking, camping, and a myriad of other outdoor pursuits when you visit this designated dark-sky park. Peninsula State Park is another spectacular place in the area. Just a few minutes away in Fish Creek, Wisconsin, the 3,776-acre park is Wisconsin’s third-largest state park. It boasts a 38-acre island, a golf course, biking trails, hiking trails, campgrounds, and several other amenities and attractions. The park has eight miles of shoreline along rocky promontories, bluffs, coastal wetlands, forest, and meadow. In other words, a vast number of species call Peninsula State Park home. In one day, you might see a bald eagle perched high in a pine branch, a raccoon rummaging through the trash can, and a fox creeping through the woods. At night, as you rest your head in your RV rental, be lulled to sleep by the calls of the barred owl. A stunning place for explorers of all ages, you won’t want to miss Peninsula State Park when you book a campervan rental in Ellison Bay. The Mink River Nature Conservancy calls itself one of the few high-quality estuaries remaining in the United States. Witness as waters from the Mink River and Lake Michigan combine to form this freshwater estuary. The conservancy provides a home for many important plants and animals and serves as an oasis for migratory and breeding waterfowl. A variety of mammals make their homes among the mixed conifer hardwood forest of the conservancy as well. With 2,165 protected acres open to the public, the Mink River Nature Conservancy is an awesome place to see pristine nature when you book an RV in Door County.
