Looking for the ultimate Wisconsin glamping trip? One that combines great onsite amenities but also a great list of nearby things to see and do? Consider booking a glamping cottage or cabin at Plymouth Rock Camping Resort – a wonderful glamping spot with boating, fishing and kayaking opportunities on the onsite lake, plus two swimming pools, hiking trails, plus horseshoes and mini-golf. If you want some ideas for what’s going on around the area, check out these suggestions below:
1. Day Trip #1 – Green Bay: Head into nearby Green Bay and take a tour of the famed Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers football team. Green Bay is also home to the National Railroad Museum, the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, a 600-acre urban wildlife refuge; and the Green Bay Botanical Garden featuring 47 acres of beautiful gardens and natural areas.
2. Fun & Games: Head to downtown Sheboygan for some fun including Shibikin’ – a unique way to see the downtown area and the lakefront aboard a “pedal tavern.” Don’t miss the opportunity to taste a bratwurst when in Sheboygan, the Bratwurst Capital of the World. Downtown Sheboygan also has plenty of shopping and a local brewery, 3 Sheeps Brewing. Check out the nautical-themed mini-golf course, Harbor Pointe Mini Golf, for a challenging time on the mini links!
3. Day Trip #2 – Milwaukee: As Wisconsin’s largest city, you’ll find plenty to do in Milwaukee. Don’t miss the Milwaukee Art Museum located within a stunning structure on the shores of Lake Michigan or a tour of the Miller Brewery, which has been brewing beer in Milwaukee since 1855. Other attractions include the Milwaukee County Zoo, the Pabst Mansion and the Milwaukee Riverwalk, which connect three neighborhoods over 20 blocks, with plenty of shopping, restaurants and public art installations – don’t miss the “Bronze Fonz” a bronze statue of “The Fonz” from TV’s Happy Days, which was set in Milwaukee.
4. Outdoor Activity: For hiking, biking, fishing and picnicking, check out Kohler-Andrae State Park. The park has amazing sand dunes and features the Dunes Cordwalk, a 2-mile hiking trail along the dunes. Bicycle along the 2-mile Black River Trail for great glimpses of birds and wildflowers. Plan to spend the day here and then catch a beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan.
5. Off the Beaten Path: How many shipwrecks can you say you’ve seen? The preserved remains of the Lottie Cooper, a three-masted schooner that was shipwrecked in 1894 can be viewed at the Sheboygan Harbor. Bookworm Gardens isn’t your typical botanic garden but rather a garden designed to represent favorite books in children’s literature like the Three Pigs, Frog and Toad, Winnie the Pooh and more. Also, the Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden features more than 30 historic, religious and mythic creatures created by James Tellen out of concrete.
