NORTHEAST WISCONSIN, WI (WTAQ)- Memorial Day Weekend means many are heading to the campgrounds throughout Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin State Park system starts getting busy this time of year, as many have been anticipating this weekend.
“You do see some of the more popular parks like Potawatomi State Park really book up in advance.”
Wisconsin Department of Tourism PR Coordinator Kristina LeVan says while the big parks are booked, there are still options available for those who still want to get out camping this weekend.
“There are some really great smaller parks around the state that have some availability.
She also says there is another option that is sometimes overlooked.
“Some County parks offer much of the same features that you see at State parks.”
If an overnight stay is not in the cards, LeVan says a day visit is an option for all facilities.
The Wisconsin DNR website has a link that allows you to book a site at State Parks and check for availability.

LeVan says sometime people do not show up for their reservations, and by calling the parks directly, a site might open up.
