North Wood Park (Wood County Park)
Overview
North Wood Park, established in Arpin, WI, offers a quintessential Wisconsin county park experience that emphasizes natural beauty. Spread across 172 acres of lush forest, it focuses on providing a tranquil escape for outdoor enthusiasts. The park is well-regarded for its historic stone bridges and scenic river setting, offering a peaceful environment for campers seeking a genuine connection with nature without the noise of commercial resorts. The mature hardwood canopy provides a sense of seclusion and a true woodland retreat feel for every visitor.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the northern reaches of Wood County, the park is bisected by the winding Yellow River. This unique geography creates two small reservoirs, Lake Manakiki and Lake Kaunewinne, which define the park's landscape. The surrounding terrain is characterized by heavy timber and diverse greenery, providing excellent shade and privacy for most campsites. Its location near Marshfield makes it an accessible retreat while still feeling deeply immersed in the quiet rural atmosphere of central Wisconsin.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features nearly 100 campsites equipped with electric hookups that accommodate various RV sizes. While the park maintains a rustic charm, visitors have access to essential modern facilities including:
- Convenient dump station and fresh water fill sites
- Clean restrooms with modern shower facilities
- A professional 18-hole disc golf course
- Large picnic shelters and multiple playgrounds
These features ensure a comfortable stay while preserving the park's natural integrity and providing ample space for outdoor recreation.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do without leaving the grounds, including miles of hiking trails that offer panoramic views of the river and historic stone dams. The river itself is popular for panfishing and kayaking, with accessible launch points located within the park boundaries. For those interested in local culture, the nearby city of Marshfield features the Wildwood Park and Zoo, providing a great afternoon excursion for families and wildlife lovers just a short drive away from the campground.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for nature-focused RVers who prioritize a quiet, wooded atmosphere over high-density resort amenities. It is a perfect fit for birdwatchers, hikers, and families who enjoy traditional outdoor recreation like fishing and disc golf. If you appreciate a scenic, well-maintained space with a touch of historic charm and riverside views, North Wood Park is a fantastic choice for your next Wisconsin camping trip.

Pretty cute county park. A nice place to walk around and look at all the water birds. The big bridge is very shaky, so be careful while walking on it.
Megan Mulholland
Shhh. Don’t tell too many people about this awesome, beautiful serene campground. It is large with river, disc golf, lots of open spaces. There is a swimming area and bridges. The sites are plentiful. We had a great spot by the dam. The campground host kept it clean. Beautiful and fun place!

This campground has great sites for whatever kind of camping you do. Suspension bridge is pretty cool along with the dam. I recommend!
Erica Webber
Great park! There's paved paths, a beach, two playgrounds, picnic tables, a big old bridge going across the lake to campgrounds. You Can purchase firewood and bags of Ice on the premise. There's also nice dam there. I saw a lot of people fishing as well. This in one of new favorite places to take my dog on a walk in the park. I also so a volley ball court!
