Renting an RV in Sturgeon Bay: what to know before pickup
Sturgeon Bay has its own arrival logistics. Potawatomi State Park handles both the first night and the dump station. 3 street-parking ordinances apply to RVs here — each cited in the arrival guide.
Street parking reality
No residential street RV. Walmart Sturgeon Bay historically tolerates; verify with store.

Skip the classic mistake
Booking a Peninsula State Park campsite without verifying the specific loop has electric — many sites are rustic
