Another great state park in Door County is Potowatomi State Park.  It's just south of Sturgeon Bay.  It's agreat park and a lot less crowded.  ]]> Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:41:57 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=41000#41000 Door County, WI : I like the meatballs and lefsa... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=33582#33582 Author: Keith-N-Dar

Yup that's the place, I just could not recall the name. We will be in Shawano, WI on 8 Aug so maybe then we will get out to Door County. I have to load up the truck with another load of cherry tree my mother in law had cut down last Nov. She was going to take it to the dump. Imagine my horror of this wood turner when I found out. Brought a load back home In Nov, and I still have at least two more load. I now have some very nice 16 inch cherry bowls here in VA. with allot more to make. ]]> Sat, 25 May 2013 05:38:36 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=33577#33577 Door County, WI : Week after next we are going... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=33569#33569 Author: Keith-N-Dar

The goat place is a Swedish Restaurant, called Al Johnson's in Sister Bay.

WI is a beautiful state. Sandee, my wife, grew up in Sheboygan Falls, or was it Sheboygan. I get the two confused, anyway it was the smaller of the two. Her mother lives in Shawano now along the lake where they have a house for 40 years or more.
Sandee's great-grandfather built his home in Door County and it is still there, although it is no longer in the family. Every year we go back to WI to visit all her family, so many family member's in WI that we are thinking about selling our home herein VA Beach, Va and moving to WI. Sandee keeps telling me about one house that goats stand around on the top.
Maybe this summer when we visit we will get out to Door county.]]> Fri, 24 May 2013 12:32:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=33527#33527 Door County, WI : Decided to go with a private campground,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30854#30854 Author: DocTom

Stayed at a few campgrounds...private....no state parks.  Hard to get in unless you reserve like now.  Especially the good sites.  I have not camped Washington....Keith tells me to do it, so it is on the list.

I LOVE Door County.

I almost forgot.  Quietwoods RV Sales and Service in Sturgeon Bay is an r-Pod dealer.  Sturgeon Bay is the biggest city in Door County, and the main roads on to the peninsula all go through it.  I worked with them when buying our Pod, but wound up buying ours from a closer dealer.  The seem like good folks to work with, so if needed they are there.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:23:14 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30770#30770 Door County, WI : You can bike anywhere on the... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30769#30769 Author: Keith-N-Dar

You can bike anywhere on the island.  There are gentle hills and lots of flat.  You can bring your own or rent from one of several stands at the ferry dock.  It is a great place to bike!.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:17:15 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30769#30769 Door County, WI : Oh NO!!!!

I hate to dissapoint, but I have been to that restaurant at least 25 times, and they have never had lawyers that day.  The owner has the last of the trawlers that runs from the island, so they do have them sometimes but not every day.  That is where the locals have breakfast, and it is a great place to find out what is going on that day.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:44:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30748#30748 Door County, WI : As soon as the dates are nailed... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30744#30744 Author: DocTom

As soon as the dates are nailed down I will be making reservations, if the State Park is unavailable, we don't mind private campgrounds either. We have been doing a lot of reading (from the Library) on Door County, and Washington Island,  and are getting more excited the more we read. I love the restaurant on Washington Island that serves up fresh lawyers daily, lol. We will probably be there from 13-17th Sept as it now stands, then head to northern WI for a day or two, then over to MN.]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:32:40 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30744#30744 Door County, WI : If you want hookups in a Wisconsin... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30708#30708 Author: Keith-N-Dar

If you want hookups in a Wisconsin state park even mid week you need to make reservations as early as possible.  If you can't get in the state parks there are plenty of camp grounds that would be able to take you I am sure.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2013 14:37:16 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30708#30708 Door County, WI : I was wondering about that, as... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=30707#30707 Author: DocTom

I was wondering about that, as the ferry website has a disclaimer about low hanging exhaust systems. Since we are planning our trip for early September, I hope that, at least in midweek, it will be more quiet. I think we will probably try the state park, as Tina wishes to visit several of the light houses and museums, but since we both love hiking and birding, a day on the island will be part of the trip.

We were first planning just going to the North Shore of Superior, centering and hiking around Grand Marais, MN. We have been there before, love it, and have hiked several sections of the SHT in the past. After reading about Door County and seeing a trip offered through Road Scholar, we decided to add a few days and make a big loop that includes Door County.

We did fine with the ferry the first few times, but last time I scraped off the right rear stabilizer jack.  In Spring before we head up there again our Pod gets a set of risers!  The campground is constantly improving having fairly new owners, and I see on Facebook they are marketing it at the winter camper shows.  One thing I always liked is even on busy weekends I could count on an open site.  Maybe not any more.
 
One of my co-workers spent a day on the island with her children and asked why we liked it becuse there was nothing to do.  I think that sums it up.  There are things to do, but not flashy things.  There is great birding and hiking,  good restaurants but no chains, and lots of friendly people.

We thought about that, and wondered about the ease of getting the Rpod across on a ferry. I am only guessing it is possible as there is a RV park on the island, but the lowness of the pod might be an issue.

My information is secondhand.  So far we have never camped there.  Many friends camp at Peninsula and love it.  I can't help on the particular campgrounds.

We drive right past and to to Washington Island.  You miss out on the Door County shops and tourist things and have a nice quiet camping trip on the Island.
