RV rental Elkhart Lake, WI: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Although RV camping at Elkhart Lake itself isn’t possible, there are several campsites just a short drive away. Heading south from the lake along Highway 67, you will come across the huge Plymouth Rock Camping Resort. Boasting over 600 campsites that are suitable for those with a rental RV, you will have no problem finding a place to set up camp in this well-equipped campsite. As well as top-notch facilities, campers can enjoy full hookups at every site, site-wide WiFi, an on-site swimming pool, and a well-stocked general store. Even better, your furry friends are more than welcome on the grounds, as long as they are kept on a leash and remain well behaved. Consider staying at Broughton Shelby Marsh if you are heading north from the Elkhart Lake. Although this is a much more primitive set up, campers will benefit from the tranquil environment and picturesque setting. While some of the sites are equipped with 20 amp hookups; the majority are without, so don’t forget to bring a generator if you plan on staying a while! Washroom facilities can also be found on-site, complete with flushing toilets and hot showers.

No Elkhart Lake camping trip would be complete without a trip to Sheboygan, one of Lake Michigan’s lakeside towns. As a popular holiday destination, there are countless attractions on offer in this charming town. Sheboygan County Historical Museum is a must-visit whilst in the area. Located in Taylor Park, the museum consists of the main exhibition building as well as four other historic structures: a house built in 1852 and owned by Judge Taylor, the 1864 Weinhold Family House, the 1867 Bodenstab Cheese Factory and a 1890s Schuchardt Barn, complete with agricultural machinery. Visitors can wander around these exhibitions at their own leisure or join one of the guided tours to leave with a newfound knowledge of the area’s local and regional history. Any creatives camping with an RV nearby should not miss the chance to visit the John Michael Kohler Arts Centre. Each of the six rooms that make up the art center has been taken over by a local artist who has artistically showcased how they perceive the connection between art and industry to be. As a contemporary art museum, visitors can expect to see a multitude of different mediums being used, including performing arts, sculpture, and photography. Don’t forget to check out the lavatories while you’re there, which have been praised for their intricate mosaic decoration! For a more family-friendly activity, why not head to Bookworms Garden, a botanical garden inspired by a selection of popular children’s books. Free to enter, children will love reading their favorite childhood stories surrounded by life-sized models of their favorite characters. Other interactive activities include excavating for dinosaur bones or joining Winnie The Pooh’s tea party! Open from May through to October; this is a perfect activity during the summer and fall break!
