Stayed there in August. The site was nice, campground was not busy which was very nice. Bathrooms are the best we've seen in a long time...super clean with individual shower rooms. Traveled in 28ft Class C towing SUV...Plenty of room for both in our site .
We travel to the U.P. every year from Iowa and stay here every time we can.

As of this writing, 2024, they have recently installed new showers and flush bathrooms. I live near this campground, so I have stayed at almost every site in the park. If you cant have or don't want a lake site, site #4 is the largest. It is almost 35 yards across the front. Trees are growing back, but not many mature trees on the East of the park. There is a really nice beach area adjacent to, but not in the campground. It is a nice short walk. Each site has electric hookup, and some sites have more than one box. Not much ambient light in this park, so it is great for viewing stars and Northern Lights. This park also is situated near the ATV trail, and has access to the 160 mile Blue Ox trail system.

Restrooms and showers are clean and nicely maintained. There’s a good amount of trees and shade for those hot summer days. There are trails and some fishing areas as well. Traffic noise isn’t too annoying except for the occasional loud mufflers and train horns. No train horns were heard during the late hours though. Overall it’s a decent place to stay
Guide
Small campground along river with handicap access to river.pit Toilets there is a 5 dollar parking fee per day. There are two site good distance apart. Not much shade handicap fishing along river handicap picknick tables.
TravelerWe parked in a river spot , and it was such a wonderful location, bathrooms right across a field, nice big playground, room for our motorhome, jeep, and hybrid van to charge ! Access to fishing right at our site and disc golf across from our camper !
Traveler
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!

Wonderful campground with great friendly service. We will definitely be returning on our trips to door county
GuideThis area is close to Boulder Lake Campground. If you cannot find the campsite or wish to camp closer to a small river with trout, this is a great location. It has established toilets.
GuideGreat views of Lake Michigan! Beautiful sandy beach just a short walk away! Really nice playground for the kids. Overall, one of our favorite places to connected camp!
Ranger1 of 2 spots at this location. This is the second campsite on the dirt road coming in. If you come in on the first site and try to take the path through to the 2nd, be sure to have a high clearance vehicle with 4x4. There are a lot of ruts and mud at the moment. There is a short walk to a stream, which is peaceful. Someone put a small bench there, which is nice to sit at and relax. As far as resources, there isn't much by way of dead wood. There's a picnic table and fire ring which seems "clean". Absolutely no trailers larger than a teardrop. Even that is questionable. I wouldn't recommend anything larger than a van or sprinter.
Guide
Easy to get to. quiet campground. I would suggest smaller campers and tents
RangerAgain, 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.
Scout
we had about 15 kids and anything they did she would yell at them , the out houses on the property we the worst smelling ones i have ever encountered, they were filthy and have not been cleaned in months the toilet seats are cracked and are about 10+ years old the stinch would roam over to all of our campsites and would just about make you puke, the miniture golf coarse should be free it has not been swept off all season and is in need of major repairs , out of about 10 games in the game room 4 worked
ScoutI really liked the camp ground. I didn’t like the rv’s in the tent/rustic campsites running their generator’s all night long.
Scout
Lasting memories have and continue to be made here. First my own kids and now my grandkids

Boot lake is actually the shape of a boot. It provides some decent fishing from shore but excellent fishing from a boat. The beach is nice and the location is nicely nestled in the Nicolet National Forest near the town of Townsend and Lakewood.
ScoutThe most beautiful showers and amenities I've seen camping so far! We are fairly new campers but this place wowed us! On our list of where we'd like a seasonal site!
Legend
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.
RangerBeautiful 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.
Traveler
Had a blast! Bbq and more! Swimming everyday and even kayak rentals. !!
TravelerNice state park campground with grassy, but tight sites. Located right on Lake Michigan. Very nice beach. Showers were okay, but always seemed a little dirty
RangerHad the best time staying in a very large and warm cabin
RangerBeautiful 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.
Guide
This park is big, with lots of trails, clean bathrooms, water access, and great campsites that offer privacy when the foliage is grown in.
ScoutSpacious campsites I’m very quiet not far away from Sister Bay
ScoutWe 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.

Nice last min stop
