RV Dump Stations In Crivitz, Wisconsin
45.2339° N, 88.0069° W
Quick Overview
Crivitz sits in the heart of Marinette County, Wisconsin, a Northwoods village on US-141 that serves as the gateway to the High Falls and Caldron Falls flowages of the Peshtigo River. For RVers, it is a fishing, boating, and waterfall base, and the good news on the practical side is that the campgrounds ringing the flowages all keep proper sanitary dump stations. We track several dump stations in the wider Crivitz area, so servicing your tanks here is straightforward once you know where to point the rig.
The anchor is Governor Thompson State Park, which puts its sanitary dump and fill station right on the campground entrance road, so you can service tanks and take on fresh water without threading deep into a loop. The park spreads across more than 2,800 acres on the Caldron Falls Flowage, adjacent to the Peshtigo River State Forest, with 100 campsites, 16 miles of trails, and six miles of shoreline. Entry needs a Wisconsin State Park sticker, and camping runs around $28 a night.
Beyond the state park, three Marinette County campgrounds cover the flowages and nearby lakes, and each one has a dump station. Twin Bridge Park sits on the High Falls Flowage with 62 electric sites and a swimming beach. Morgan Park has 45 electric sites, heated showers, and a beach on Timms Lake. Goodman Park, on the Peshtigo River in the northwest of the county, keeps 15 non-electric sites, a potable water tower, and a dump station. None of these are full-hookup resorts, so the dump stations are how you service tanks between stays. In the village itself you will find fuel and diesel on US-141, propane through Lakes Gas and the local co-ops, plus groceries and basic repair. Stock up in town before you head west on County W, because services thin out fast near the water. Late spring through early fall is the season; the campgrounds and their dump stations close for the cold Northwoods winter.

21.7 miTraveling to Crivitz by RV
US-141 is the main artery, running north to south straight through Crivitz. It links south toward Green Bay and the I-43 corridor, about 50 miles away, and north toward Iron Mountain, Michigan. WIS-64 ties into the corridor a bit south near Pound. To reach the flowages and the campgrounds that hold the dump stations, you turn west out of the village onto County W and follow the forest roads toward High Falls and Caldron Falls. These are paved, two-lane routes, manageable for a big rig at a relaxed pace.
Getting through the village itself got easier recently. In 2025 the Wisconsin DOT converted 1.4 miles of US-141 through Crivitz from four lanes to a three-lane layout with a center two-way turn lane and new signals at County W, which makes pulling off for fuel or turning toward the flowages less of a scramble. There is no interstate right at Crivitz and no big-box lot built for RV overnighting, so plan to stay and dump at the state or county campgrounds rather than street parking.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials
Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Crivitz, Wisconsin, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.
Check your RV insurance coverage
A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.
Know your roadside assistance options
RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.
Decide about an extended warranty early
Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.
Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees
A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Crivitz
Dumping around Crivitz is tied to the campgrounds, so the cost usually rolls into a stay rather than a standalone fee. Governor Thompson State Park camping runs around $28 a night, plus a Wisconsin State Park vehicle admission sticker to enter the grounds. If you are already camping there, using the dump and fill station on the entrance road costs nothing extra. Non-campers who just want to dump may be asked to pay a small fee or a day pass, which varies by season.
The Marinette County parks, Twin Bridge, Morgan, and Goodman, each carry their own camping and day-use fees, and their dump stations follow the same pattern: free if you are a registered camper, sometimes a small charge if you are only passing through. Because none of these are full-hookup private resorts, you avoid the higher nightly rates those command, and you trade a sewer connection at the site for a shared dump station. For an RVer working a Northwoods fishing loop, the total cost of camping and dumping here stays low, especially midweek and in the shoulder seasons when sites are wide open.

Best Time to Visit Crivitz by RV
Winter
Nov - Feb
11F - 22F
Crowds: Low
Deep Northwoods cold with lows near 11F and the odd dip to zero. The county and state park campgrounds close, so dumping is not available on site; ice fishing and skiing draw the few visitors who come.
Spring
Mar - May
33F - 50F
Crowds: Low
A frosty, muddy thaw through April, then a fast green-up in May. Campgrounds and their dump stations reopen as the flowages fully open, and sites are wide open at the lowest use of the year.
Summer
Jun - Aug
58F - 78F
Crowds: Medium
Peak season on High Falls and Caldron Falls flowages. Warm days, cool nights, and busy summer weekends, so reserve electric sites at Twin Bridge or Morgan Park ahead and expect the dump stations to see a line on checkout mornings.
Fall
Sep - Oct
40F - 54F
Crowds: Low
The waterfall-and-color sweet spot. Crisp days, fewer bugs, and thinning crowds. Campgrounds stay open into October, though services taper, so top off water and dump before the first hard freeze.
Explore the Crivitz Area
A few things we would pass along to a friend heading up to the Crivitz flowages. First, the dump station at Governor Thompson State Park sits on the campground entrance road, so you can hit it on the way in or out without unhooking deep in a loop, which is our favorite kind of dump setup. Second, if you want electric hookups, skip past the state park math and look at the county parks: Twin Bridge has 62 electric sites and Morgan Park has 45, far more than the state park east loop.
Third, fill propane and fuel in the village on US-141 before you turn west, because the options genuinely thin out once you are near the water. Lakes Gas and the local co-ops can get your bottles filled. Fourth, if you are here in the shoulder seasons, call the county parks office at 715-732-7530 first, since the campgrounds and their dump stations close for winter and you do not want to arrive to a locked gate. Finally, time a fall trip for the Marinette County waterfall route; the color and the cascades peak together and the campgrounds are wonderfully quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Crivitz
Where can I dump my RV holding tanks near Crivitz, WI?
Your reliable public dump options around Crivitz are at the campgrounds west and north of the village. Governor Thompson State Park has a sanitary dump and fill station right on the road into the campground, which is easy to reach on the way in or out. The three Marinette County parks in the area all have dump stations too: Twin Bridge Park on the High Falls Flowage, Morgan Park on Timms Lake, and Goodman Park on the Peshtigo River. We track several dump stations in the wider Crivitz area, so you have several choices depending on which flowage you are camped near.
Is there a dump station at Governor Thompson State Park?
Yes. Governor Thompson State Park has a sanitary dump and fill station positioned on the entrance road into the campground, so you can service tanks and take on fresh water without threading deep into a camping loop. The park sits on the Caldron Falls Flowage adjacent to the Peshtigo River State Forest. You will need a Wisconsin State Park vehicle admission sticker to enter, and if you are not a registered camper you may be asked to pay a fee to use the station. Camping runs around $28 a night, and the same entrance road makes an easy in-and-out for a quick dump.
Do the Marinette County parks near Crivitz have dump stations?
They do. All three of the main Marinette County campgrounds in the Crivitz area offer dumping stations. Twin Bridge Park & Campground has 62 electric sites on the High Falls Flowage plus a dump station. Morgan Park Campground has 45 electric sites on Timms Lake with a heated shower building and a dump station. Goodman Park Campground on the Peshtigo River has 15 non-electric sites, a potable water tower, and a dump station. County camping and day-use fees apply, and the parks office at 715-732-7530 can confirm current hours and whether non-campers can dump.
Can I dump for free around Crivitz?
Not really, and that is honest. The dump stations near Crivitz are at the state and county campgrounds, and those come with a park sticker, a camping fee, or a day-use charge. There is no free-standing municipal dump in the village that we can verify. The best value is to dump on your way out of the campground you are already paying to stay in, whether that is Governor Thompson State Park or one of the Marinette County parks. If you only need to dump and are not camping, call ahead, because non-camper access and any small fee vary by park and by season.
Are the dump stations open year-round in Crivitz?
No. This is deep Northwoods country and the campgrounds are seasonal. Governor Thompson State Park and the Marinette County parks close their campgrounds for winter, which means their dump and fill stations are not available once the season ends, typically from mid-fall through spring. If you are traveling the shoulder seasons, call the specific park or the county parks office at 715-732-7530 to confirm the station is still open before you rely on it. In the coldest months, plan to dump before you reach the Crivitz area or after you head back toward Green Bay.
What highways lead into Crivitz for an RV?
US-141 is the main route, running north to south straight through the village of Crivitz. It carries you south toward Green Bay and the I-43 corridor, roughly 50 miles away, and north toward Iron Mountain, Michigan. WIS-64 ties into the US-141 corridor a bit south near Pound. To reach the flowages and the campgrounds with the dump stations, you turn west out of the village onto County W. These are open, well-graded highways with no low-clearance or weight limits that trouble a big rig, so towing in is straightforward.
Is it easy to drive a big rig through Crivitz?
Generally yes. US-141 through the village is the main street, and in 2025 the Wisconsin DOT converted 1.4 miles of it from four lanes to a three-lane layout with a center two-way turn lane and new traffic signals at County W. That change actually helps RVers, since a dedicated center turn lane makes it easier to pull off for fuel or turn toward the flowages without holding up through traffic. The roads west to the campgrounds on County W and Parkway Road are two-lane forest roads but are paved and manageable at a relaxed pace.
Where can I get propane near Crivitz?
Crivitz is well covered for propane despite its small size, because it sits in a heavy camping and lake-cabin region. Lakes Gas serves Crivitz directly with delivery, refills, and cylinder exchange. CHS Larsen Cooperative covers Crivitz and the surrounding towns of Wausaukee, Pound, Coleman, and Peshtigo. Gasco Propane also services the area from its network of northeastern Wisconsin locations. For a quick RV bottle refill it is worth calling ahead to confirm hours, since some of these are delivery-focused co-ops rather than walk-up counters, but between the three you can get filled up before heading to the flowages.
What services are in Crivitz for RVers?
Crivitz offers the essentials for a Northwoods stop. You can fuel up on gas and diesel along US-141 in the village, refill propane through Lakes Gas or the local co-ops, and pick up groceries and hardware in town, with full-size supermarkets down US-141 toward Green Bay. Basic auto and truck repair is available locally, though for RV-specific service the larger shops are toward Green Bay. Fresh water is available at the campgrounds, including the fill station at Governor Thompson State Park and the potable water tower at Goodman Park. Stock up in the village before you head west, because options thin out near the flowages.
What is there to do around Crivitz when I am not dumping tanks?
Plenty, and it is mostly about the water and the woods. The High Falls and Caldron Falls flowages of the Peshtigo River are the big draw, known for muskie, walleye, and panfish plus boating and swimming. Governor Thompson State Park has 16 miles of hiking trails, rock formations, and six miles of shoreline. Marinette County calls itself the Waterfalls Capital of Wisconsin, and a self-guided waterfall route strings together cascades through the surrounding forest, which peaks beautifully in fall. Veterans Memorial Park on the south end of the High Falls Flowage adds day-use flowage access and picnicking.
When is the best time to bring an RV to Crivitz?
Late spring through early fall is the window. Summer, roughly late May through August, brings warm days near 78F, cool nights, and prime fishing and boating on the flowages, though weekends get busy and bugs can be thick near the water. Early fall is our favorite: crisp weather, thinning crowds, fewer mosquitoes, and the Marinette County waterfalls at peak color, all while the campgrounds and their dump stations are still open. Winter is genuinely cold with campgrounds closed, and spring is a slow, muddy thaw, so shoulder-season travelers should confirm a park is open and winterize their rig first.
Do I need reservations for campgrounds near Crivitz?
For summer weekends, yes, especially if you want an electric site. Governor Thompson State Park takes reservations online and its 16 electric sites in the east loop go quickly. The Marinette County parks, Twin Bridge with 62 electric sites and Morgan Park with 45, are the most electric-heavy options and also fill on warm weekends, so book ahead through the county parks reservation system. Midweek and in the shoulder seasons you can often find a first-come site, particularly at the non-electric loops or at Goodman Park. The county parks office at 715-732-7530 can help you sort availability.
Can I get electric hookups at campgrounds near Crivitz?
Yes, though your best electric options are the county parks rather than the state park. Governor Thompson State Park has 100 sites total but only 16 are electric, all in the east loop, with the north and south loops non-electric. If electric matters to you, Twin Bridge Park & Campground has 62 electric sites on the High Falls Flowage and Morgan Park Campground has 45 electric sites on Timms Lake. Goodman Park is all non-electric. None of these are full-hookup resorts, so you will still use the dump stations to service tanks rather than a sewer connection at the site.
