Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Campground

The Great Outdoors

Wisconsin has some pretty impressive parks and beaches showcasing its ethereal beauty, and using an RV rental is an ideal way to see as much of the area as you can. The Door Peninsula is home to dozens of recreation areas, campgrounds, and state parks, like Potawatomi State Park, which is less than ten minutes' drive away. This gorgeous outdoor recreation hub has divine camping areas, a network of nature trails, and a wide-open bay perfect for swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or boating.Newport State Park is at the tip of the peninsula and has even more exquisite views of both the Green Bay and the open waters of Lake Michigan. Here you can also see some stunning beaches great for swimming, sunbathing, beachcombing, reading a good book, or fishing right off the shore. Hiking trails weave through the forest groves on-site, connecting the camping area to the beach.Whitefish Dunes State Park is located on the Lake Michigan side of the peninsula, not far from Sturgeon Bay. The park is known for its amazing sand dunes which line the lakeside. Fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking are options here, but there are also nine prehistoric villages scattered around the park in this culturally rich area thought to date back thousands of years.Beyond the tip of the Door Peninsula, there are a few island state parks that you can visit by means of a boat. Grand Traverse Island State Park and Rock Island State Park are part of an archipelago close to Washington Island. Only walking is permitted at lovely Rock Island State Park, a historical island with lighthouses, old estates, and stunning nature. There are plenty of other state parks and national forests to check out if you leave the Door Peninsula, but everything you need is available nearby when you're RV camping at Door County's Jellystone Park Campground.
