Camping Reservations

Peninsula is Wisconsin’s most popular camping destination and reservations are strongly recommended.

You can reserve a site 48 hours to 11 months before the date of arrival. For availability and rates, including reservation fees, call toll free at (888) WI-PARKS ((888) 947-2757, TTY (800) 274-7275). Call center hours vary. You also may make reservations via the Internet 24 hours a day.

Reserve a Campsite [exit DNR].

Campgrounds

Peninsula’s five campgrounds (Weborg Point, Tennison Bay, Welcker's Point, North Nicolet Bay, and South Nicolet Bay) have a total of 468 family sites; 101 are electric. Peninsula also has three reservable group areas for tent camping. Only 25 sites, (South Nicolet Bay sites 804-828), are non-reservable. Camping fees help support campground maintenance.

Admission stickers are required on all vehicles. Purchase vehicle stickers at Park Headquarters or state park contact stations.

Avoid poison ivy and wild parsnip by learning how to identify each. Visit the Nature Center or look at the park newspaper, the Visitor, for identification tips. The Visitor also lists local medical clinics if campers require treatment. More tips: Stay on trails, and restrict activities (dogs included) to the campsite boundaries. Proper footwear is essential.
