The Dells area is ok, but its a huge tourist trap. I recommend Peninsula State Park in Door County with a day trip to Washigton Island. It books up fast so you'd have to book now for next June.
This. There are other state parks in the area, too. Potawotami is nice and in Door County but not as developed as Peninsula, it might not book up as fast.
I really enjoyed Door County in August. A little touristy but not too bad, lovely area, super-nice state parks. If you are on a budget take plenty of your own food, the restaurants are a little on the pricey side and mostly have fish. There is an Applebees and a decent Chinese in Sturgeon Bay if you get sick of fish.
