Traveling to Gillett by RV

Highway 141 serves as the main north-south route through Gillett, connecting directly to Green Bay about 45 miles southeast and continuing north toward the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. From the south, take Highway 141 north from Green Bay, passing through Crivitz before reaching Gillett. From the west, Highway 22 provides access from Shawano and connects to Highway 141 right in town.

RV routing through this area is generally trouble-free, with good clearances and road conditions on the main highways. However, avoid some of the smaller county roads if you're pulling a large rig, as they can be narrow with limited turnaround options. Highway 22 west of town has a few curves but nothing problematic for RVs.

Overnight parking options are limited in Gillett proper. There's no Walmart or major retail stores that typically allow RV parking, so plan accordingly if you need to stay overnight. The nearest rest area is about 20 miles south on Highway 141. Most RVers either book a campsite at one of the local RV parks or continue to larger communities for overnight stops.

Winter travel requires extra caution, as this region receives significant snowfall and temperatures can drop well below freezing from December through March. Road maintenance is good on the main highways, but always check conditions before traveling during winter months.
