LegendQuarry Lake Must See
Hiking trails are easy but limited, the views are exquisite with clear blue turquoise water. The attraction is Quarry Lake, no swimming in the quarry but swimming at the beach. Great for families, older folks, excellent hike and camp combo. Recommended.

GuideSomewhat isolated sites
This is a nice park with very friendly staff and 50 amp power. No water or sewer but does have a dump station. The sites are gravel but very unlevel. To level my 35 foot motor home my rear tires had to come off the ground by at least 6 inches. The sites are bordered by natural grasses and foliage. That provides a feeling of isolation. If not for the unlevel sites I could easily give it 5 stars.
GuidePros and Cons Here
We mostly enjoyed our trip here over Memorial Day Weekend. It’s not too far away from our home and a nice gear testing first trip.
Pros: Spacious grassy site. This one even had an attached smaller clearing perfect for our 7 year old to use for her own space where we set up a hammock for her.
The campsites feel very private with a thick brush between each site. It’s not a huge campground.
Bathrooms and showers are very cleans and actually closed from 11am-noon each day for complete cleaning.
Gorgeous magnificent trails and right on Lake Michigan. Also a beautiful quarry lake with a trail all the way around and a cute pond full of turtles!
Very nice, completely cleaned fire pits.
Cheap bundle yourself firewood. Cons:
Gorgeous hikes, but short. We prefer more distance.
Maybe because of its proximity to the lake and Milwaukee or perhaps the holiday weekend but this was a louder campground. More of a party vibe than we really look for in state parks. A particular group was extremely loud and kept us up until 4 am the first night. No park ranger on duty. It’s nice when quiet hours are observed.
No trees really on the campground and it is built on and surrounded by wetlands that are actively in restoration. At the height of summer this place is going to be sweltering and full of bugs. The mosquitoes will be especially terrible.
Overall we have and love this park for a day trip but probably won’t return to camp.
