Wisconsin Campgrounds

Near the dells I like to camp at Stand Rock Campground. For a camper of your size I'm partial to the full hook-up sites that do not have any sites behind them as they are quite deep (i.e. sites 33, 35, 36, 37, 39, etc.). Campground is very quiet, has very clean and modern restrooms, and has a nice pool and game room.

Door Country - Peninsula State Park (and no other!)

Wisconsin Dells - Stand rock, Holiday Shores, or Rocky Arbor state park

Near Milwaukee? Ummm....well. They aren't the best, but not bad either. Jellystone is nearest (avoid if possible). Lazy Days in West Bend (pretty good country feel with a super nice fishing/frog pond). River Bend in Watertown (nice waterslide onsite). Or KOHLER-ANDRAE state park (awesome hiking trails and beach area for hot days). Those are the closest options to Milwaukee.

If this reply is referring to the Jellystone in Caledonia, I could not agree more. Nice park, but not a good value for the money, especially if you do not have children with you.

Be aware that state parks in Wisconsin have no hookups other than electric, and many of those may not be 30 amp. Also, a large trailer such as the OP has will be limited as to sites it will fit in. That said, Wisconsin has some of the nicest SPs in the country. :)

Another option around Wisconsin Dells is the KOA. They do have big-rig sites; most are in their lower level, which is VERY close to the train, which runs frequently - one drawback. If they have a site that fits you in their upper level, I strongly recommend it. Nice owners who care about the CG and the folks who stay there. Convenient to downtown, the Ducks rides, the boats, and the water parks.

Rocky Arbor is nice but will be noisy toward the back end of the CG, as it backs up right to the interstate.

Near the Dells we like Country Roads

Precisely.

I have been to approx. 80% of WI State parks and all have sites for large TT's and RV's. Not the best sites, but available sites none-the-less.

And I have yet to stay...or even browse via the internet... any State park has full hook ups. I would tell most people to assume any State Park does NOT have full hook up unless clearly advertised.

We will also be in WI for a good part of June. Hate making reservations but did so yesterday for a power site in Mirror Lake SP. One of only a few power sites still available for our time period. Loads of dry sites available. Gonna wing it for the Door penninsula since that will be a Sunday-Thursday stop.

Getting by for 4 or 5 days without water or sewer hookups is easy. Getting by in the middle of summer without air, not so easy.

X2 on the Caledonia Jellystone, they`ve gotten carried away with prices and add-ons! not worth it.

Also X3 on Stand Rock in the Dells. we went last year and I just booked Friday for this year. very nice place, well maintained!

Devil's Lake in Baraboo is a good park close to the Dells (maybe 1/2 hour away). We also stayed at a private CG in Door County years ago, can't remember the name, but it's very peaceful up there (we were near Egg Harbor, that's all I recall).
