  Fayette Historic State Park Campground

  Dark skies Retreat

  Great open sky site, next to the water. High winds, but local beach trail and historic town a short walk away with additional trails. FYI bathrooms, shower facility, water drops, and water dumpsite closes annually for winterization around Oct. 21. Keep this in mind when booking! Water was shutoff days after. arriving thankfully we filled up jugs before that. Electric and camp wifi on year round. 30A and 20A service at each site, worked fine. We'll be back for the next New Moon!

  Chute Pond Park

  One of my favorite campgrounds

  Chute pond park is one of my favorite campgrounds to stay at. They have reasonable rates, clean bathrooms and almost all sites are electric. There’s lots to do the whole weekend whether you want to go hiking, fishing, boating, small cliff jumping, or take a walk to slippery rock. This year they also have now available kayaks for rent at $20 per hour.

  Rustic Timbers Door County Camping

  Great spot for families

  This was our first experience with a “bells and whistles” type campground. And we were very pleased with the quality of the amenities that we have previously done without.

  The newer playground is now open/free and includes a pickleball court, which was enjoyed by everyone. There is also a nice little convenience store and a bar/restaurant with a patio that overlooks the play area. It’s a great setup for parents who feel comfortable letting their kids play at a distance.

  The toilets and showers were just spotless and so clean. That was honestly such a pleasant and welcomed surprise.

  We were fortunate to have a more wooded spot within the circle section of the campground but it was not as wooded/secluded as other camping experiences we’ve had. But we knew this going in and were really pleased with the amount of greenery we got along with the amenities.

  Would definitely come back!

  Beautiful location but not if you have a bigger camper

  The views are beautiful but all the camping spots are grass, we instantly sunk the second we tried to park ! Bring blocks if you want to stay!

  Door County KOA Holiday

  Overall a good experience

  We rented a camper for the first time and decided to go here. We appreciated the facilities and the fact that there was help available if necessary.

  The campground is big with lots of sites. Some are in a big field that was really crowded. I’m glad we asked for a wooded site.

  The biggest downside was noise. We were there over the 4th of July. There were golf carts that circled the campgrounds blaring loud music on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July. I get celebrating the 4th but this was pretty annoying.

  But overall this was good. It helped me realize I prefer more remote camping. I’m not sure the resort feel of this KOA is for me, but that is a preference. There is a lot to like and a lot to do here.

  Vagabond Resort and Campground

  $10 early check in fee

  We wanted to stay here on a rainy stormy day, do some laundry, take hot showers, dump and fill, etc. They are in the Passport America program, so rates are discounted 50%, but they’re actually a few dollars higher than what’s listed in Passport America. A FHU site would be $20 with the discount, so $40 full price. 

  I’d recommend calling them ahead of time and not the morning of the day you’re looking to stay, like we did (and always do). We had a really hard time getting a hold of someone, but I think they had something going on that day so I don’t want to say that’s the norm. We drove to the campground hoping to just talk to someone in the office, but that didn’t work either. The husband finally called us back but by then we were in the mindset to just leave and go stay at Walmart in Escanaba for free. 

  The campground is really nice and low key, lots of trees, definitely nothing fancy, it’s dumpy in places, but it’s fine for us. You can get a FHU site or electric only (there is a dump station and water fill). There are also tent sites and cabins. 

  We had good Verizon service there and ok ATT service. There’s lake access from the campground with a $5 fee, not sure if that’s just for putting in boats though. 

  Note- check in is 3pm and they are really into their policy of charging $10 for an “early check-in.” There are several signs in the office stating this, and the husband made sure he told us over the phone as well, even though it would have been just an hour early.

  A lovely stopping point!

  Again, we stayed here for one night on our way elsewhere. We have to come back and make it our destination next time. Clean bathrooms… excellent camp hosts. Weekdays in the fall.. so quiet and peaceful.

  We camped with a RV; I felt like I was at the Hilton having water and electricity hook up. The view out our back window was spectacular!!

  Countryside Motel & RV Sites

  Unappealing

  Wouldn't consider this an rv site. Very small spaces ( 16 ) right by the road. NO DUMP STATION AT ALL. No garbage dumpster. Water and electric only. I thought they had to have a dump station by law to be an rv place. They said in 2018 they were working on it. Charged extra for 50 amp service. If you just want to pull in for the night and sleep it's ok. Would not recommend.

  Wagon Trail Campground

  Greaet family campground

  General: Pride of ownership is evident throughout the campground and there are many different types of accommodations: tent, electric and water, (including some classified as prime), full hook-up, cabins, and yurts. There are also seasonal sites and travel trailer rentals. This campground was as busy as I would expect for Door County in the summer. We checked in at the well-staffed office (open until 9 pm) at which time our site was assigned. 

  Site Quality/Facilities: Since there are so many different kinds of sites, they vary greatly. Our non-hookup site (#104) had an L-shaped driveway which was just a bit awkward to back our campervan into but not impossible. This site would not have been suitable for a large RV. Some of the tent sites in this loop (#111-113) were called “hideaway” tent sites as they had very long driveways and more privacy. Many of the sites are wooded and there is varying separation between sites but more than adequate. The premium sites have the most privacy and many of these have no one behind them. 

  Bathhouse: There are two bathhouses, and each is closed for a two-hour period each day. They were immaculate (possibly the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen!). The shower, while a bit on the small side, had nice hot water and plenty of hooks to hang clothes and toiletries. They were clean. 

  Activities/Amenities: The campground itself has much to offer: playground, recreation area with volleyball net, laundry, dishwashing station, fish cleaning station, recreation room with pool table and arcade games, lounge with fireplace, couches, and books, a camp store, and doggie stations. A couple of hiking trails lead from the campground, including one to Grandma’s Swedish Bakery (highly recommend at least one visit). Nearby kayak and SUP rentals. There is much to do in Door County for active and less active pursuits; this campground is located on the quiet side of the peninsula, but it does not take long to drive to other activities. 

  This is not our typical type of campground. We used to live within two hours of the northern part of the Door Peninsula, so we only took day trips here; camping here is new to us but we are enjoying exploring many different options.

  Camping on the lake!

  Beautiful park with lots of options to camp lakeside. Many sites are very close together, so if privacy is important… choose wisely. Wonderful camp hosts had hot cocoa and coffee to share… great for a cool morning. We happened to visit during the Halloween celebration weekend… so it was overrun with kids. Not a deal breaker at all… but I think we may have chosen a different park had we known. Neighbors next to us really enjoyed themselves… maybe a bit too much! All said… we would camp there again… but only if we can get a lakeside site.

  Nice location to centrally locate for exploring Door County

  Stayed here in 2019. Nice campground with a nice bar and grill near by. Nice beach for swimming and kayaking. Was very busy when we stayed here, but we had a good time.

  Nicest campground I’ve ever been to.

  Beautiful campground. Stayed here for 7 nights back in 2017. Showers were very clean. Quiet and peaceful.

  My wife was scared the first night because she heard noises in the woods, Turned out just to be some porcupines coming into the camp site during the night. Lol.

  When it was very dark it seems the tree trunks would glow, not sure if it was the moss or some kind of bioluminescence bark or something, really cool.

  We will definitely come back here again, and we tell all our friends who go to Door County about it.

  Peshtigo River Campground

  Good campground to do some river floating

  We thought we had a small site- until we got there. Site 86 is the smallest on the map but it is not small at all! We have a 33 1/2 ft 5th wheel and had plenty of space. We could have had some tents on the site if we wanted to! The fire pit was away from the level area the RV is to be parked. The electric and water were a little farther away than typical but not too bad.

  The owners are awesome and worked with us on our reservation- my friend set the site and I paid for it later. Everyone we spoke to with a seasonal site was very nice and helpful. The campground was quiet for the most part. You could hear there were people were out at their sites but no one was being loud or obnoxious. It was perfect!

  Tubing was a bit of a different experience to start off but ended good. We waited for about 40 minutes for the bus. Once the bus came, everyone piled on. We had our own tubes so we put them on ourselves as well as our cooler. We rented two cooler tubes- one for my cooler and one as a “dry” area. We we’re on the bus for about 25 minutes due to too many people getting on and two large groups having to decide who was getting off. Once we arrived at the drop off site- all the cooler tubes were grabbed right away. They made sure we got both tubes we paid for before we pushed off down the river. I was very thankful for this!!!!! My personal tube popped half way down the river due to it being old so I’m very happy we had the other two tubes!

  The river was nice! Low in some spots but we never had to get out and drag our stuff. Some trees to paddle around occasionally, but nothing out of the normal.

  One thing I was surprised at was this campground does not have a bar and or grill.

  We lucked out with spot #24. It was perfect, lots of room and directly across from water. Restrooms were kept up and clean. Very nice hosts and pretty quiet campground (when we were there anyway). We will be back.

  Do not recommend

  Terrible customer service. Argumentative and dismissive. There are plenty of other campgrounds in Door County that do not succumb to the pressure of the summer season and treat their potential patrons with respect and dignity… and have legal and ethical business practices.

  Keyes Lake Campground

  Great time

  We found this place by mistake when the campground we were going to gave away our spot. It is very clean in the campgrounds and the site we had was privet and large enough for our 5th wheel and truck and boat. The bathroom was also spotless. The showers were free to campers with plenty of hot water. Keyes lake was right across the street and the fishing was great. Most certainly will return.
