Which Wisconsin campground is one of the best in the country?
According to USA Today, Pineland Camping Park in Big Flats should be your next camping destination in Wisconsin.
Located just over a two-hour drive from Milwaukee, the family-run campground has nearly 200 sites, ranging from wooded sites for day campers to cabins and rentals for long-term or seasonal campers. The park even offers “glamping” options for those seeking a more luxurious camping experience.
In addition to overnight accommodations, Pineland offers amenities such as a heated pool, weekly live music and an 18-hole miniature golf course. For families, the Kids Clubhouse offers an arcade, safari bikes and a virtual reality roller coaster, among other amenities.
You can reserve a campsite at Pineland through the park’s online portal, but seasonal camping options require a separate application, also available online.
