River Park Campground
Overview
River Park Campground offers a peaceful retreat located directly along the scenic banks of the Menominee River. This county-managed park provides a quiet gateway to the Upper Peninsula, expertly blending natural beauty with the essential modern comforts required for a stress-free stay. It is widely recognized for its relaxed atmosphere and immediate access to the water, making it a favorite for travelers seeking a calm stopover.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated in the southernmost city of the U.P., Menominee, Michigan, sitting right on the border of Marinette, Wisconsin. Its unique position on the river provides sweeping water views and a refreshing breeze during the summer months. The surrounding area is characterized by lush woodlands and the vast, blue expanse of Green Bay on Lake Michigan, which is located just a few miles to the east of the campground.
Amenities & Park Features
RVers will find well-maintained sites equipped with full hookups, including both 30 and 50-amp electrical service. The campground features a clean bathhouse with hot showers and convenient on-site laundry facilities for those on longer cross-country journeys. Each site is designed to feel spacious, featuring a picnic table and a fire ring for evening campfires. The park also maintains paved interior roads, making it easy to navigate larger rigs without difficulty.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Fishing is the primary draw for many visitors, as the Menominee River is world-renowned for its seasonal walleye and smallmouth bass. Guests can also visit the historic Menominee North Pier Lighthouse or spend an afternoon at Henes Park, which offers wooded hiking trails and a local zoo. For those interested in local culture, the downtown area features charming architecture and local eateries just a short drive from your campsite.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize being steps away from a premier waterway. It serves as an excellent base for seasonal travelers and families looking for a quiet, budget-friendly location that remains close to essential city services. If you enjoy a laid-back riverfront setting without the frantic energy of a commercial resort, this park is a perfect fit for your Michigan adventure.

Very well maintained. Nice big lots. I think that if people post complaints it's because they want to hear themselves complain. There are no geese at all and they have things in place to prevent them from coming. We have no complaints about this campground. Yes it is in the city. So know that when you make a reservation and don't complain about it after you stay here. That's where most city park campgrounds are located at. The bathrooms are clean. The staff is friendly. I have no complaints and would recommend this Campground in a heartbeat

Great staff, Joanie was very kind and welcoming! The park is clean, well organized and a great value. We will definitely be back if passing through this area!

We spent 2 nights in a Class A motorhome. It's a beautifully maintained park with full hookups, 30 amp service. Many of the lots have trees for some shade and paved pads for the RV. I read many complaints about the goose droppings, but we had a good experience. It appears they are trying different techniques to keep them off the lawns which worked at our site. Definitely a great value and during the week was easy to get a great spot.

A super awesome campground/RV park right on the river! Lots of wildlife including deer and geese! Spacious level sites with a picnic table and fire pit. You honestly can’t go wrong with this campground as it feels like you are in the country but are smack dab in town! Lots to do and the staff are amazing!! Can’t say enough about this place!

$40 full hook up, well kept park, nice area, nice people. I called and they pencil me in and pay when arrive, email confirmation. Now the negative, cash or check only, so many geese there is crap everywhere but make sure you clean up after your pet! shower house lock down at 8 pm. Don't listen to Slim, he's apparently made at the world
