Offering essential details and easy-to-read maps, Best Tent Camping: Wisconsin presents 50 of the state’s best campgrounds for car campers.

Perfect Camping for You in Wisconsin!

The Badger State provides a spectacular backdrop for some of the most scenic campgrounds in the country. But do you know which campgrounds offer the most privacy? Which are the best for first-time campers? Veteran outdoors writers Kevin Revolinski and Johnny Molloy have traversed the entire state—from the shores of Lake Superior to the surprisingly hilly terrain of Sidie Hollow—and compiled the most up-to-date research to steer you to the perfect spot!

Best Tent Camping: Wisconsin presents 50 private, county and state park, and lakeside campgrounds, organized into four distinct regions. Selections are based on location, topography, size, and overall appeal, and every site is rated for beauty, privacy, spaciousness, safety and security, and cleanliness—so you’ll always know what to expect. The new full-color edition of this proven guidebook provides everything you need to know, with detailed maps of each campground and key information such as fees, restrictions, dates of operation, and facilities, as well as driving directions and GPS coordinates.

Whether you seek a quiet campground near a fish-filled stream or a family campground with all the amenities, grab Best Tent Camping: Wisconsin. It’s an escape for all who wish to find those special locales that recharge the mind, body, and spirit. This guide is a keeper.
