Finally got the travel trailer of your dreams, but still searching for the perfect place to take it? The nice thing about Racine County is that it’s chock-full of great camping options that are only a stone’s throw away! Not only do we have the majesty of Lake Michigan close at hand, but the many hardwood forests in the area are ideal for camping and hiking.

Your friends at Prosser RV have listed some details below about two nearby campgrounds that are perfect for a weekend trip in your travel trailer. Both campgrounds are conveniently located within 15 miles of our Sturtevant dealership, so they’re a very easy drive no matter where you are in the area.

A few notes: reservations for each of the following campsites will need to be made with Real Racine, via the Racine County Convention & Visitors Bureau. The camping season in Racine County lasts from mid-April to mid-October each year.

CLIFFSIDE PARK CAMPGROUNDS (CALEDONIA, WI)
This 233-acre park offers you 92 full-hookup campsites with fire rings. All the campsites are capable of handling even the largest travel trailers with slide-outs, so you won’t feel cramped. Bathroom facilities are available on-site, as is a dump station.

For recreational options, you'll find a bike trail, sheltered picnic tables, basketball courts, softball/baseball fields, soccer fields and a playground. Hiking through the nearby forest is very popular here, and there’s something different to see every season. While you can hike east to view Lake Michigan, there is no beach access, so you’ll need to drive seven miles south into downtown Racine in order to access the North Beach Oasis for swimming.

SANDERS PARK (RACINE, WI)
Sanders Park is a smaller campground in a woodland setting on the southern outskirts of Racine. There are 23 campsites with fire rings, and most of them offer water and power hook-ups. Bathroom facilities are available, too. A beautiful two-mile-long nature trail through a 20-acre designated State Scientific Area of hardwood forest makes for a gorgeous hike or a fun bike ride with the kids!

If you’re looking to trade up your current model of travel trailer or have yet to invest in one, you’ll need to pay Prosser RV a visit. Check out our full selection of recreational vehicles for sale, including travel trailers, at our Sturtevant location.

You can also schedule maintenance on your travel trailer with our talented team of mechanics, or have them order any parts you might need. Prosser RV welcomes our customers coming from Somers, WI, to the south, as well as everyone in the greater Racine metro area!
