RV Parks In Sheboygan, Wisconsin
43.7508° N, 87.7145° W
Quick Overview
Sheboygan sits right on Lake Michigan halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay, and for RVers the draw is simple: a genuine sand-dune beach park in town, plus full-hookup resorts a short drive west. It's an easy I-43 stop that rewards a longer stay, with surfing, bratwurst, a working harbor, and one of the best stretches of Lake Michigan shoreline in the state. The camping splits between a standout public park on the water and private resorts inland.
The anchor is Kohler-Andrae State Park, right on the lake in Sheboygan. Its 137-site family campground includes 52 electric sites set in wooded terrain behind the park's famous dunes, with warm-season showers, laundry, and a dump station. Unusually for Wisconsin, it stays open year-round. Inland, Sheboygan County's Broughton Marsh Park offers budget, year-round camping on the Sheboygan Marsh with a big-rig dump station. Both book outside the private system and are the value picks here.
For full hookups with sewer, head west toward Plymouth and Glenbeulah. Plymouth Rock Camping Resort has full-hookup sites with a pool and hot tub, and Westward Ho RV Resort runs 50-amp sites with water and sewer plus a big-rig dump with potable and rinse water. Breezy Hill Campground is another quiet family option with hookups. These private parks cost more than the state park but handle big rigs comfortably and give you sewer at the site.
One local quirk worth planning around: Road America in nearby Elkhart Lake hosts major summer races, and those weekends fill area campgrounds well in advance, so check the calendar before you lock in dates. Whatever you choose, this is a short-season lakefront where the best beach sites go early, so reserve ahead rather than wing it. Staying a night and need to empty your tanks?

Getting to Sheboygan with an RV is about as easy as it gets in this part of Wisconsin. The city sits directly on I-43, roughly an hour north of Milwaukee and an hour south of Green Bay, with standard clearances and no low-bridge surprises on the main routes. For Kohler-Andrae State Park, take the marked I-43 exit south of town and follow the signs toward the lakefront; the park entrance handles RVs without issue.
For the full-hookup resorts, head west out of the city on WI-23 toward Plymouth and Glenbeulah, both straightforward big-rig routes. Fuel, propane, and full-size grocery stores line I-43 in Sheboygan, so it's a smart place to provision before or after a state-park stay. One heads-up: if you're timing a trip around a Road America race weekend in Elkhart Lake, expect heavier traffic on WI-23 and book your site well in advance, since the whole area gets busy.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.
Check your RV insurance coverage
A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.
Know your roadside assistance options
RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.
Decide about an extended warranty early
Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.
Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees
A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Sheboygan
Camping costs in Sheboygan span a wide range depending on public versus private. Kohler-Andrae State Park's electric sites run roughly $25 to $45 a night plus a Wisconsin vehicle admission sticker, which is strong value for a beachfront park. Sheboygan County's Broughton Marsh Park is cheaper still and open year-round, the best budget pick in the area. The trade-off at both is electric-only service with no sewer at the site.
Private full-hookup resorts like Plymouth Rock and Westward Ho generally run $45 to $80-plus a night in peak summer, more for premium or holiday weekends, but you get sewer, 50-amp power, and amenities. To save, base at the state or county park for the value and book one private full-hookup night to dump, do laundry, and recharge. Shoulder-season and midweek rates are noticeably lower across the board.

Best Time to Visit Sheboygan by RV
Winter
Nov - Feb
17F - 31F
Crowds: Low
Kohler-Andrae State Park stays open year-round, but warm-season services like showers and laundry shut down and most private parks close. Sites are electric, so plan to be self-contained and watch for frozen water. The winter beach and dunes are stark and quiet if you're up for cold-weather camping.
Spring
Mar - May
36F - 52F
Crowds: Low
Cool and breezy off Lake Michigan, with parks ramping up services through May. Reservations are easy to grab early in the season, and the dunes and trails are quiet. Pack layers, since the shore runs colder than inland, and confirm full services are running before you arrive.
Summer
Jun - Aug
61F - 79F
Crowds: High
Prime beach-camping season, and Kohler-Andrae's electric sites book fast for weekends. The lake keeps temperatures comfortable. Watch the Road America race calendar in nearby Elkhart Lake, since event weekends fill area campgrounds. Reserve early or aim midweek, and head to Plymouth for full hookups.
Fall
Sep - Oct
43F - 60F
Crowds: Medium
Crisp, quiet, and good value once the summer crowds fade. The state park stays open while private parks like Plymouth Rock close around mid-October, so confirm dates. Fall is our pick for a calm lakefront stay with cool nights and easy reservations before winter sets in.
Explore the Sheboygan Area
A few things we'd pass along for camping Sheboygan. First, if the Lake Michigan beach is the goal, book Kohler-Andrae the moment the 11-month reservation window opens, because the electric sites go fast for summer weekends. Second, if you need full hookups, don't fight for a state-park site, just head west to Plymouth Rock or Westward Ho, where sewer and 50-amp power are standard and availability is better.
Third, watch the Road America calendar in Elkhart Lake; race weekends pack the area's campgrounds and push up demand. Fourth, pack layers even in summer, since the lake keeps the shore noticeably cooler and breezier than inland. Finally, for a budget or off-season stay, Sheboygan County's Broughton Marsh Park is open year-round and cheap, with a big-rig dump station, making it a handy inland backup when the lakefront sites are full or you just want a quieter night away from the crowds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Sheboygan
What are the best RV parks and campgrounds in Sheboygan, WI?
The standout public option is Kohler-Andrae State Park, right on Lake Michigan with 137 campsites, 52 of them electric, set among wooded dunes with beach access. For full hookups, head a short way west: Plymouth Rock Camping Resort in Plymouth has full-hookup sites with a pool and hot tub, and Westward Ho RV Resort in Glenbeulah offers 50-amp sites with water and sewer. Sheboygan County's Broughton Marsh Park is a budget, year-round inland option, and Breezy Hill Campground is a quiet family park nearby. Between them you've got beach camping, resort hookups, and county-park value.
Do Sheboygan campgrounds have full hookups with water, electric, and sewer?
Some do, but the marquee park doesn't. Kohler-Andrae State Park is electric-only, with 52 of its 137 sites offering power but no sewer at the site. For true full hookups with water, electric, and sewer, you'll want the private resorts west of town. Plymouth Rock Camping Resort offers full-hookup sites, and Westward Ho RV Resort in Glenbeulah has 50-amp service with water and sewer. If you camp at Kohler-Andrae, plan to use the park's warm-season dump station on your way out, or pick a private park if having sewer at your site matters for a longer stay.
How far ahead should I reserve a campsite in Sheboygan?
For Kohler-Andrae State Park, plan well ahead. Wisconsin opens state-park reservations 11 months in advance through the DNR system, and this park's electric sites book quickly for summer weekends because of the Lake Michigan beach. If you want a July or August Saturday, reserve right when the 11-month window opens. Private parks like Plymouth Rock and Westward Ho usually have more give, but they also fill on busy weekends, especially when Road America has a race in nearby Elkhart Lake. Midweek stays, Sunday through Thursday, are much easier to land throughout the season if your schedule is flexible.
When is the best time to go RV camping in Sheboygan?
Summer is prime for the Lake Michigan beach and dunes at Kohler-Andrae, with warm days tempered by lake breezes, but it's also the busiest and hardest to book. Our quiet-season pick is September, when the crowds thin, the nights cool off, and reservations open up while the weather stays pleasant. Spring is cool and breezy but easy to book. Winter camping is possible since the state park stays open year-round, though services shut down and it gets cold. If you want the beach, go summer; if you want calm, go early fall.
Can big rigs camp in Sheboygan?
Yes, with the right park. Kohler-Andrae's wooded state-park sites tilt smaller and are electric-only, so check the site length before booking a long rig. For big-rig comfort with full hookups, the private resorts are the better call. Plymouth Rock Camping Resort and Westward Ho RV Resort both advertise big-rig-friendly full-hookup sites with 50-amp service, water, and sewer, and Westward Ho's dump station is set up for large rigs with potable and rinse water. Getting around is easy too, since I-43 and WI-23 are big-rig-friendly highways with no low-clearance issues serving the lakefront and the parks to the west.
Is there a state park campground in Sheboygan?
Yes, Kohler-Andrae State Park sits right on the Lake Michigan shore in Sheboygan and is the area's signature campground. It has a 137-site family campground, including 52 sites with electric hookups, set in wooded terrain behind the park's famous sand dunes. Warm-season amenities include showers, flush toilets, and laundry, and there's a dump station for campers. Unusually, the park stays open year-round, though full services run only in the warmer months. Reservations go through the Wisconsin DNR up to 11 months ahead and are strongly recommended for summer. The beach, boardwalk, and Sanderling Nature Center are the big draws.
Are there free or first-come camping options near Sheboygan?
Free options are slim, but there's a budget-friendly choice. Sheboygan County's Broughton Marsh Park offers inexpensive, year-round camping on the Sheboygan Marsh, which is the closest thing to a value play here, and it has a big-rig dump station too. Beyond that, most camping in the area is reservation-based, especially in summer, and there's no general roadside or boondocking culture along this part of the Lake Michigan shore. If you're watching your budget, the county park or a midweek shoulder-season state-park electric site will stretch your dollars further than the private resorts. Plan to pay for a site rather than count on free camping here.
Where can I dump my RV tanks in Sheboygan?
You've got several options. Kohler-Andrae State Park has a warm-season dump station for campers. Sheboygan County's Broughton Marsh Park has a year-round big-rig dump station, free for registered guests or a small fee for dump-only use. The private parks west of town, including Plymouth Rock Camping Resort, Westward Ho RV Resort, and Breezy Hill Campground, all have big-rig-friendly dump stations, usually free for guests or a dump-only fee for non-guests. If you're staying at a full-hookup private site, you'll just dump at your own sewer connection. For a full rundown, see our companion guide to RV dump stations in Sheboygan.
What is there to do around Sheboygan while camping?
Quite a lot for a mid-size lake city. Kohler-Andrae State Park's sand dunes, beach, boardwalk, and nature center are the main outdoor draw, and Lake Michigan here is even popular with surfers. Downtown Sheboygan's Harbor Centre marina, the historic fishing shanties, and the local bratwurst scene are worth a stroll. Twenty minutes west in Elkhart Lake, Road America is a historic road-racing circuit that hosts major motorsport events all summer. You can also bike the lakefront trails, fish the harbor and the marsh, and watch for birds at Broughton Marsh Park. It's an easy base for both beach time and small-town Wisconsin charm.
Is Kohler-Andrae State Park open in winter?
Yes, Kohler-Andrae is one of the Wisconsin state parks that stays open for camping year-round, which is unusual for the region. That said, the warm-season comforts like showers, flush toilets, and laundry shut down for winter, and the campground runs on electric sites only with no full hookups. If you camp here in the cold months, plan to be fully self-contained, watch for frozen water lines, and dress for Lake Michigan wind. The upside is a quiet, stark beach-and-dunes landscape with very few other campers. Most of the private parks in the area close for winter, so the state park is your main cold-season choice.
Should I stay at the state park or a private RV park in Sheboygan?
It depends on what you want. Kohler-Andrae State Park wins on setting, with direct access to the Lake Michigan dunes and beach, lower prices, and that classic state-park feel, but it's electric-only and books up fast. The private parks west of town, like Plymouth Rock Camping Resort and Westward Ho RV Resort, cost more but give you full hookups with sewer, plus extras like pools and easier last-minute availability. Our usual approach is to base at Kohler-Andrae for the beach and the value, then book a private full-hookup night when we need sewer, laundry, and a recharge before moving on.
How do I get to Sheboygan with an RV?
Sheboygan sits right on I-43 about halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay, so access is simple from either direction with no low-clearance worries for standard RV heights. For Kohler-Andrae State Park, take the marked I-43 exit south of the city and follow the signs toward the lakefront. For the private resorts, head west on WI-23 toward Plymouth and Glenbeulah, both easy big-rig routes. Fuel and groceries are plentiful right along I-43 in Sheboygan, so it's a convenient place to provision. If you're coming for a Road America event in Elkhart Lake, expect heavier traffic on WI-23 on race weekends.
