Best Time to Camp at Camper Cabin Campground

Late spring through early fall is prime time here, with most campers visiting May through September. Here's the insider scoop: late spring and midsummer bring authentic northwoods mosquitoes (they're no joke), but wait until late summer or early fall and you'll be rewarded with crisp evenings, stunning fall colors, and blissfully fewer bugs. Those cabin heaters aren't just for show—winter camping is possible for the bold, though you'll want to call ahead to confirm the cabins are open before loading up your cold-weather gear.

Planning Tips

    About Camper Cabin Campground

    Picture this: your own heated cabin tucked into the northwoods forest, where towering trees create natural walls between you and the world. These cozy sleeping shelters at Savanna Portage State Park sit along Lake Shumway's shores, offering drive-in convenience with backcountry vibes—especially on the interior sites where privacy reigns supreme.
    The park offers a variety of camping options including drive‑in/electric sites, camper cabins, group sites, and more remote hike‑/paddle‑in (primitive) sites.
