point beach state forest

Point Beach is a great place to camp or visit. Wonderful beach, beautiful view of Lake Michigan. Clean good size sites to camp in. One of a few State parks that has a consetion building.

Come during kite fest and experience a new family oriented event. During the fall, the tree colors are stunning and relaxing.

Beautiful trails for biking, hiking, hunting. All the way from Two Rivers to the campground! I grew up riding horse to Point Beach on the beach and through the woods. Unfortunately riding stables are no longer here. But you can snow shoe and cross country ski! There is a horse trail at the entrance to the park but I haven't been on it yet.

We were on our Lake Michigan lighthouse tour of Wisconsin and stopped here to see this one. The bonus was the pretty fall color of the forest.

We camped here a couple years ago and I forgot how beautiful the forest is. Both trips were in the fall so cooler weather and a little rain each time, but we still had a great time. The sites are nice, wooded, and for the most part very private. The bathrooms and showers are very clean. Rangers stopped each day to say Hi to the kids and the office staff was very nice and helpful. Beach area is big, clean, and plenty of parking if you drive there, but you can walk from most of the campsites. The walking/hiking trail is great. goes deep into the woods and is very well maintained. My kids have camped all over Wisconsin and they love this campground.

We've camped at Point Beach multiple times and have always enjoyed our visits. However, this last time was not as nice. This is a very popular campground for families with young children. And as everyone who has camped with small children knows, keeping them quiet during quiet hours can be a challenge. We were right across from the whiniest toddlers I've ever heard. The parents were completely unable to control the situation, and the kids' wailing at night and in the early morning was enough to make us move our campsite to another location, which took up the morning we had planned to do some biking. That meant we had to bike the Rawley Point Trail in the early evening when the biting flies were awful. Still, all was not lost as we got to stroll the beach in the moonlight, swim and play in the sand on a nice sunny day, and the water was refreshing, not freezing. Also the Rawley Point Trail was pretty awesome and so easy to access from the campground. FYI-the lighthouse is closed to visitors but you can get some nice pix of it from the boardwalk.

I've camped and hiked this park a few times over many years of visiting the area. But I just bought a home in Two Rivers last year and just rode my bike on the Rawley Point Bike Trail from Walsh Field in Two Rivers all the way up to the visitor center at Point Beach State Forest. It's a nice trail with a few climbs but mostly comfortable for a casual rider like myself. Lots of shade along the way. This will be one of my regular rides going forward (about 10 miles round-trip).

We tent camped there with the kids. The sites were large, private, maintained and the other campers were all very friendly, respectful, etc. We camped about a hundred yards from the beach. A nice sandy beach on the shores of Lake Michigan.

I have been going to Point Beach since I was a mere lad. We had some great Boy Scout outings in the day. Today as then, this is a beautiful park. A place to camp, hike, bird watch and just relax. The beach is great, albeit it is Lake Michigan, which is never very warm. They used to let people into the light house; but no more. There is a very nice lodge overlooking the lake. It is only open in warm months; and usually run by disinterested teenagers. A great place to camp and enjoy what nature has to offer.

For anyone wanting some peace and quiet, head to Point Beach State Forest just northeast of Two Rivers WI. The forest covers quite a bit of land along the Lake Michigan shoreline. There is a fee for those using the beach, campground or trails. However, If you don't want to spend time on the grounds, a drive on Highway O which passes through the forest offers a relaxing change of pace. There is no fee for those who simply pass through using the highway. Rarely do we encounter other traffic. On our last visit, we enjoyed watching a deer that came out of the woods and onto the road. For those who love lighthouses, be sure to check out the Rawley Point Lighthouse located within the forest.

We visited on a great warm fall afternoon; the sand was warm between our toes, the breeze kept us from getting too hot, and the woods let us enjoy more than just sand, wind and waves. The lighthouse was also a very picturesque stop along the way. I'd love to come back in the summer to camp and hike.

This campground is well thought out and an enjoyable place to stay. Level sites (crushed gravel) made set-up a breeze. The sites were large and reasonably easy to manuver into. The bath houses were clean and inviting. The camp host was friendly. The check-in attendant was funny and a pleasure to work with.We will stay here again, but I'm not going to give away any secrets on which are the best sites.

We camped here for the first time in Aug. 2013 for 3 nights. The campground is right on Lake Michigan and has 6 miles of beach. The beach was beautiful and good for swimming. The campsites were nice and shady. We would stay here again.

Camped for 2 nights in tent section, very quiet, no critter problems. Enormous beautiful beach. Given the amount of staff (friendly folks) they could check the shower room a bit more often and give it a sweep. Wear flip flops in there as there was a lot of sand and hairs on the floor. At least the showers are free anyway.The town is only 4 miles away, very convenient.Firewood - buy it for$3 outside camp or $4 in park. I found where they pile dead trees near the beach and used that for free. Bring a saw or axe.

My family stayed with another family in July and we had a nice time. First, do not bring firewood, they will want to sell you that. It is interesting that had this been a private camp ground, there would not have been such a huge waste of labor... I am not sure if they have had problems in the past but they had fully armed Park Rangers walking around from morning until night. Now I ask, do we really need to carry weapons in our state forest campgrounds? My five year old kept asking why the men and women were carrying such big pistols. Bad idea...There were two people driving around in a golf cart every morning looking for garbage as well as two different people cleaning bathrooms, along with another two people at the front check in building. We also saw other staff. The funny thing is that we have stayed in places this size in the past and usually a husband and wife will run the entire operation, here there were at least eight full time employees that we could see.I was also amazed when we pulled up, there was a building where we could check in at and we would drive right up to the window. This was great but I would say that the building was around 3,000 square feet. What the heck would they ever need something that big for? In most of the mom and pop places we go to, the owners live in a trailer right on property and do this out of their trailer...It was a nice time for our kids and we would go back again. Everything is well kept and with that much labor, it should be. As for the armed guards, that is a bit of overkill and did nothing but scare my wife and kids.
