Peshtigo River Campground, LLC — Hotel in Town of Stephenson

Went for labor day weekend, honestly the most fun I've had camping in awhile, wether you want peace and quiet or turn up and meet everyone! The bathrooms were emaculatly clean and honestly the best showers I've experienced at a campground. The hosts are friendly and soo welcoming! The seasonals are so cool! Everybody had the same vibe and our first night we had so many cool visitors! (Very respectful and asked for permission to join first) so much fun! And they make so many different foods we were offered some home made booyah and it was probably the best I've ever had! My son and wife loved every second the Sunday before we left, we went tubing and everyone was so nice and inviting minus melt your b!@ls off heat the guys driving the bus and getting your tubes and stuff ready were so happy and cool about it. All things you need in case you forget anything are all at the office (forgot laundry detergent) gas station and store are very close was alittle nervous being so close to the highway but couldn't hear a thing the sights are beautiful and the river run is so much for all ages! I highly recommend this for anybody!only $132 for me the wife and the boy and 2 dogs! For three nights full electric and water hook ups! They have ice, arcade, little store, washer and driers on site, small play ground but my son had more fun playing with other kids then the playground. Tubing is $15 a person and $10 for a cooler tube bus on site takes you up river and you literally get off in the campsite dont have to do anything with the tubes besides ride them! Sites are very well maintained and clean. Dogs are more than welcome we have an old man pit and lab mix and he just wanted to sleep in the camper most the time. But they provide bags for doggie messes and DO NOT HAVE breed restrictions restrictions are based on dogs behavior if you have a mean dog, he will not be allowed but they give you a chance to prove yourself. Playground was rather small and no volleyball nets were up but we didn't have enough people to play anyway. Definitely going next year and a couple more times this year just cause it was...

TENT CAMPERS BEWARE!!! This is the worst campground I have ever seen. If you are looking for an easy lawsuit this may be the place for you.

CONS: Everything about the tent sites screams that they were, and still are, an afterthought. EVERY tent site as dead branches in the trees above it. Several of them have whole dead trees! There was a storm coming through in 3 hours and I was legitimately worried for my groups safety due to the amount of dead weight that would have been hanging over us. The highway is extremely close to the tent sites, providing noise to keep you up all night. The one worker we saw was impersonal and standoffish. They need to hire someone who is more of a people person to run the front desk. There is only one water source for the 10+ tent sites. The tent sites are located after a blind hairpin turn that isn't even safe at the 5mph they insist your drive at. Bathrooms were very far away so either get ready to hike to the use bathrooms or bring a trowel.

PRO: There was only one good thing about the entire campground, that was the selection at the camp store. It was slightly better than the other ones on our trip.

We spent 15 minutes looking around and decided to leave for our own safety. Asked for a refund. Turns out they "don't do" refunds. To his credit he did offer us any of the RV camper sites after I explained my concern. However, we had looked at the RV sites as well and they had nearly as many dead branches and WHOLE DEAD TREES! I told him they could keep my money. It wasn't worth the risk...

We opted to rent a seasonal site & keep our camper up here at Peshtigo River Campground over the summer of 2019. Management is friendly, attentive, and always on site. The campground is always very clean and maintained well. Neighbors are friendly & welcoming, required to keep their yards neat. Lot size is great! Fair price for the year compared to many other campgrounds we contacted & visited. Very quiet and laid back! Also allow our Staffordshire Terrier (no breed restrictions, deciding based on each dog's personality instead). Great location: fun family activities, shopping, and restaurants nearby, within 5-15 minutes.

The ONLY thing that could make it better would be to have a pool, jumping pad, better playground, etc. for the kids. Not much for them to do community-wise. But even so, we were happy with our decision to stay here...
