Peshtigo River Campground
Overview
Peshtigo River Campground serves as a premier destination for those seeking the quintessential Wisconsin Northwoods experience. Located along the banks of one of the state's most iconic waterways, this park offers a peaceful forest setting that invites travelers to slow down. Whether you are arriving for a weekend of fishing or a week of relaxation, the park provides a natural backdrop that emphasizes the beauty of the Crivitz area. This park is widely recognized for its proximity to some of the best outdoor recreation in the Midwest.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Marinette County, the campground is nestled within a landscape defined by water and timber. The park sits conveniently near the High Falls Flowage, offering easy access to expansive vistas and quiet river bends. Surrounded by the Nicolet National Forest region, visitors are treated to a sense of seclusion while remaining close enough to the town of Crivitz for essential supplies. The winding roads leading to the park are framed by towering pines, setting the stage for a true wilderness getaway.
Amenities & Park Features
RV travelers will find comfortable accommodations including water and electric hookups that cater to various rig sizes. The park features essential conveniences such as:
- Modern restroom and showering facilities
- A dump station for RV sanitation
- A camp store with ice and firewood
- On-site mini-golf and playground areas
These features ensure that while the setting is rustic, the stay remains convenient and enjoyable for all guests. The well-maintained sites provide plenty of shade, keeping rigs cool during the peak of summer.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is undoubtedly the water, with opportunities for whitewater rafting and tubing just minutes away. Anglers frequently visit to test their skills against local trout and bass, while hikers can explore the renowned Marinette County Waterfalls, a series of stunning natural drops accessible via scenic trails. For those who enjoy land-based activities, the area is also known for expansive trail systems that are perfect for afternoon nature walks or wildlife photography.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is an ideal match for active families and paddling enthusiasts who want to be steps away from the river. It appeals to RVers who prefer a rustic, woodsy atmosphere over a paved resort experience. If your travel style involves falling asleep to the sound of rustling leaves and spending your days on the water, this park captures the authentic spirit of northern Wisconsin adventures.

We've been camping at Peshtigo River Campground for the past 8 years and we always have a great time! The cabins are well maintained and the game room is awesome for those days (or nights) when it's a little too hot outside. The tubing trips are always the highlight of our stay!

I don’t give 5 stars unless a park is above and beyond. However, this is a great park! People seem to love the river tubing. We were in the area on business so we didn’t go on the river. The owner was nice and pretty accommodating. As with most parks, I would love to see more trash cans for people walking around the park. Especially in the tube parking area!

The campground was quite and peaceful. The cabins were good for camping. Bathrooms could have been located closer to the cabins but the walk/stroll is nice. If you do the tubing in the river- i dont recommend bringing any kids under 10 along on the river to go tubing- they do have tubes/life jackets for kids but with the damn/wind the water currents change. The river contains a ton of trees (in the actual river and a swim at your own risk) so you have to kick to get out of the way of trees and branches- if you do the tubing down the river bring your own paddles so you dont wear out your legs. We stayed for 3 1/2 days and loved our time here! We found a lot of things to do. The price was really great for the week of the 4th too. There is a game room but you'll have to ask for it to be on (:

It is one of the best places to camp. A great and peaceful place. the price is right. The people are friendly, the river has fish, what more could you want?

Camped here for easy access to Marinette for a wedding. Nice pull thru spot, good utilities, nice laundry room. Fire ring easy to cook over. Met some nice people, did some bird watching and easy to get to the Peshtigo River for a float or to enjoy a wade in it.
