We drove from Ishpeming, Michigan to Door County, Wisconsin with hopes of exploring more of the Lake Michigan waterfront. We set up camp at Tranquil Timbers in Sturgeon Bay – its central location was a great launching pad for our Door County explorations.

Here’s the Breakdown:

Location: Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

GPS: 44.84887, -87.40753

Price: $38 and up (Passport America rates available at $19 and up with limitations)

Date/Temp: The early summer weather was amazing in Sturgeon Bay. During our five-day stay in late June the temperatures were in the high 70s.

Amenities: Tranquil Timbers has all the amenities of an RV Resort. There’s a centrally located pool, store, activity room, and laundry facility. The campground offers scheduled activities for adults and children.

Noise: The noise level at the campground is moderate. Our neighbors had a barking dog, but that’s just the luck of the draw. The park wasn’t noisier than other dog friendly parks we’ve visited, however some of the spaces are close together.

Wifi/Cell: Our AT&T service received a strong 4G LTE signal, our T-Mobile service only received 2G. The campground offers free Tengo Internet – it was enough to check email & Facebook, but not fast enough to stream or upload.

Grocery/Errands: Tranquil Timbers is located just 3 miles from downtown Sturgeon Bay. There are lots of shopping opportunities, ranging from big box stores to mom & pop shops. We shopped at Walmart, a local bakery, and stopped by the post office.

Dog Friendly: The park is dog friendly. It’s large grounds makes dog-walking enjoyable and easy. The town of Sturgeon Bay is also dog friendly and has doggy-clean-up bags available throughout town.

Entertainment: There is so much to do in Door County. We loved hiking the waterfront of Sturgeon Bay and exploring Egg Harbor (20 miles north). Restaurants and farms are abundant; with endless cheese and wine tastings.
