Our review on Campground Reviews:
Cramped campground, mostly seasonal
We stayed for one night and didn’t want to unhook our tow vehicle, but the staff who guided us to our site helped get us situated. I did not, however, appreciate being reprimanded for booking online and not calling to book a site “that would fit us.” First off, they advertise as being “big-rig friendly,” and 2, I didn’t see any sites that were longer than the one we were in, and we pretty much filled the entire site end-to-end. I’m not sure what “big-rig friendly” means to them, as all the interior roads were narrow and hard to navigate around the seasonal residents’ cars and other obstacles. Apart from the cramped nature of the sites, they did have lovely landscaping around the common areas and lots of neat garden art. We enjoyed walking over to the frozen custard place for dinner, but that alone isn’t enough to stay here again. We camped at Kewaunee RV & Campground in a Motorhome.

We walked to the nearby Kewaunee Custard & Grill for dinner:
The food was tasty, but the campground was not great. We likely wouldn’t stay here again, though there weren’t a lot of good options in the area.

Our review on Campground Reviews:
Large park, big rigs beware
We were only going to stay one night, but we needed to change our plans at the last minute, and they were very helpful in accommodating us for two nights without requiring a site change. Most of the park seems to be long-term/annual/seasonal sites, and the ones set aside for “transients” were horribly sloped. We were barely able to find enough flat ground to level our motorhome. We saw several other rigs (fivers and trailers) have difficulty getting out of their sites and leave gouge marks in the steep angle of their driveways. The relatively long and circuitous route out of the campground was a little concerning, as I wasn’t sure if we were driving on a road or a culvert; there was significant damage to the surface from previous flooding. The staff were great, and they offered a lot of things to do, but for a short stay in a big rig, I’d look elsewhere. We camped at Milton KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

(When we left, we used the “raise all four” air leveling option to maximize our clearance, but we still may have scraped a little.)
Other sites:
We probably wouldn’t stay here again, due to the nasty slope of many of the sites, and tight roads in the campground.
