Can state parks rent out handicap camping spots when full?

My father has said when he designed and worked with a few county parks that their policy was to rent out the handicap spots to non handicap party's when everything else was taken but the handicap spots.

I was wondering if that were true for state parks as well. Specifically Wisconsin state parks.

Answer
Contact the Wisconsin State Park of your interest to determine present policies. Often, there are over-flow camping areas as well as private campgrounds near the state parks. Depending on the location, there may also be dispersed camping or backpacking "walk-in" site opportunities if you are willing to "rough it." I have never had any problems finding a place to camp. You may also qualify for "group" campsites.

First-come, first-served campsites

You can identify first-come, first-served sites by going to the Wisconsin State Park System Camping Reservations website. First-come, first-served sites are shown as "Walk-up only" in campsite lists and "W" in availability tables.

Campers can reserve campsites at most Wisconsin state parks and forests. Some parks and forests do not accept reservations and have sites that are available only on a first-come, first-served basis. Check with the forest, park, or trail office for current availability. Due to unpredictable demand, we cannot guarantee that a site that's vacant when you call will still be available when you arrive. You can register for non-reservable family sites for up to 14 consecutive days.

Any reservable site that has not been reserved is also available to campers who arrive without a reservation. The maximum allowable stay will depend on the next date for which the site has been reserved.

All campsites at the following locations are first-come, first-served only:
â¢Brule River State Forest, 35 sites
â¢Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area, three remote sites
â¢Elroy-Sparta State Trail, 20 hike-in or bike-in sites
â¢Flambeau River State Forest, 60 family sites, 34 canoe sites
â¢Governor Knowles State Forest, 30 family sites, 30 equestrian sites, four backpack sites
â¢Peshtigo River State Forest, 16 sites
â¢Tower Hill State Park, 15 sites

Any good place to go backpacking/camping/hiking in Wisconsin or Michigan?

I'm looking for a nice place to go hiking for a few days. Looking for a unique area that is fishing accessible and that would have a waterfall. I live in Illinois and I'm looking to take a trip out of state but somewhere close like Wisconsin or Michigan. Any ideas would be helpful.
