Point Beach
Overview
Point Beach State Forest offers a serene escape along the western shores of Lake Michigan in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Spanning nearly 3,000 acres, this coastal destination is defined by its scenic sand dunes and dense pine forests that provide a lush canopy for campers. It offers a peaceful retreat for RVers looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Great Lakes region while enjoying easy access to the water and expansive sky views.
Location & Surroundings
Located just north of the city of Two Rivers, the park sits prominently on a point of land jutting into Lake Michigan. The surrounding landscape features a unique mix of ridges and swales formed by ancient glacial activity, creating a diverse habitat for local wildlife. Travelers will find themselves surrounded by towering evergreens and the constant, rhythmic sound of waves hitting the six-mile stretch of shoreline that defines the park's eastern border.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground provides 127 family campsites, including 70 sites with electric hookups designed to accommodate various RV sizes. While the experience is more rustic than a high-end commercial resort, visitors have access to essential modern conveniences:
- Access to a sanitary dump station and pressurized water for tank refills.
- Clean shower and restroom facilities located conveniently near the campsites.
- Concessions and supplies available at the historic Point Beach Lodge hub.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
One of the most iconic sights within the forest is the Rawley Point Lighthouse, which has guided ships since the 19th century and remains a stunning focal point for photographers. Travelers can also enjoy these nearby highlights:
- The Rawley Point Recreational Trail, a five-mile paved path for cycling.
- The Wisconsin Maritime Museum and the S.S. Badger carferry in Manitowoc.
- The unique Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers.

Beautiful state forest with lake Michigan access, dunes, pine forests, camping and hiking trails. Wisconsin state park annual sticker or day pass required. Can be purchased on site.

Went camping here and it was beautiful in September. Minimal mosquitoes. Awesome sites here and super close to the lake. I’m so glad they have an option on the beach for dogs to swim. My 3 dogs loved it !

This place is great if you have a bike or if you’re immune to bloodthirsty mosquitoes! 🤣 SERIOUSLY GRAB THE BUG SPRAY!! But if you’re lucky enough to live past the swarms that could almost carry you away— it’s a beautiful place to be and the expanses of sand dunes are so beautiful.

We camped for 4 nights over a long weekend. The sites are nice with many having electric hookups. Many of the sites have quite a bit of privacy. They do have several buddy sites. The bike trail was a beautiful peaceful ride. Bummer, there are no tours of the lighthouse. The beach is beautiful and a wonderful walk option. It was great to be able to get ice cream and breakfast at the lodge on the weekend.

Absolutely beautiful state park right on the shore of Lake Michigan. The campground can be a bit windy, being right off the lake, but there are plenty of beautiful trails and beaches. They have a small restaurant and ice cream shop in the park, and shower buildings as well. I would overall highly recommend this state park.
