"There was steady traffic of disappointed RVs driving through the grounds till 6-7pm.
Water and electric sites only with a dump station on site."
"For folks with RVs who want a camping spot close to the city of Ashland, this is a convenient spot close to the lake. NOTE however that reserving a campsite solely for tent camping is prohibited!"
"The location is great if you would like access to the Lake, as well as being in between Ashland and Bayfield."
"The campground was full when we pulled in at 6 pm but the hosts let us stay in an overflow area, right next to the lake. Lots of small rvs and tents, which we prefer to the big rv parks."
"Self registration is nice and love being on the lake and walking distance to town."
"Another great little “city” campground right on Lake Superior. This is a first come first serve campground- no reservations."
$30 / night
"Apostle Islands is part of a 21 islands chain at the northern tip of Wisconsin, on Lake Superior. On the mainland, the Lakeshore Trail weaves past cliffs and sea caves."
"We liked the easy drive through sites with full hookup. The campsites were tiered into the hill. This helped sound proof the campsites. "
"This is just outside of Ashland so you have access to supply runs. The campground felt like a park that blends into a camping area. We saw some nice walk in tenting sites."
"Campground Review
One of the things I love about Wisconsin is that there is a municipal campground in a lot of towns near major attractions."
"Late spring Wisconsin weather made its presence felt, but we were undeterred. Its hard to be disappointed when faced with the spectacular views of the Apostle Islands."
"Small but has some decent trails. Lovely to walk by the waters edge and skip rocks."
$30 / night
"Dalrymple was just minutes away from Bayfield, and boat rides away from the Apostle Islands and Madeline Island."
"There are also some primitive tent walk-up sites.
Nice campground, $30/night, can pay online when you arrive. Good cell reception. Most, if not all, sites have 30 and 20 amp service."
$33 - $40 / night
"It was close to the water, just a walk away from a beach and hiking trail. The campsites were fairly private as far as car camping sites go."
"The campsites on the lake side are rustic only. The modern sites are secluded with a good buffer of woods between them. Nice privacy. "
$10 / night
"I have been visiting the falls for years as it is one of the most beautiful (and little known) places in northern Wisconsin."
"Free campsites within walking distance to upper and lower falls."
ScoutGot there at night and had to leave right away in the morning. Had to eat in our truck and go to bed right away.
GuideTucked away campground right in a lake. Spacious sites and quiet…no road or neighbor noise. Lake has swimming area and swim platform, it’s a lake so there are small fish, snails and grass in that area. Hosts are very nice and bar area looked great but we arrived too late to visit. Only stayed for one night.
GuideThis is a first come first serve campsite, self pay. We arrived around 6 after changing flat tire and there were no sites available. Park looked well maintained and nice waterfront sites. We checked at Prentice park and they were full too…only 7 RV sites….tent sites looked questionable ….wasn’t comfortable with my kids around some of the occupants. Camp host was very nice and made recommendations and we found a site 30 minutes away
GuideGood spot if you’re visiting Apostles Islands NL. Has some biting bugs but not terrible.
GuideFive developed campsites are here--we were the only ones here the first day of 5, and it never filled up. Only one site was large enough for our 43' motorhome, but all are gorgeous secluded spots. 2 mile drive down a level gravel road to arrive: UTV trail access from this campground as well as hikes to 2 waterfalls.
LegendSites are fairly large and have lots of trees and woods surrounding them. You get a handicap picnic table and fire pit with grate at each site. Big rig friendly. Saw a motorhome so you can fit and you can get on the ferry over!! There is one bathroom with showers and the rest are vault toilets. There is a hiking trail right out of the campground and biking is an option too!
LegendSites are fairly large and have lots of trees and woods surrounding them, though you may likely still be able to see your neighbors a bit and will definitely be able to hear them. You get a handicap picnic table and fire pit with grate at each site. Most sites are big rig friendly. Saw a motorhome so you can find something you will fit in and you can get on the ferry over!! There is one bathroom with showers and the rest are vault toilets. I recommend waking up early for the showers as they fill up around 8am to 9am. There is a hiking trail right out of the campground and biking into town is an option too!
GuideWonderful campground with waterfalls and hiking opportunities for families and adventures. Some mosquitoes but that comes with the adventure of being outdoors. Most sites are pretty isolated with foliage and trees. DNR staff were knowledgeable and friendly. This is a rustic campground with 3 vault toilets and drinking water locations spread out among 35 sites. No dumpstation at the campground for RVs but you can use the dumpstation at Pattison SP which is about 30 minutes. Wisconsin is loosing there position on the use of generators in there state parks that do not have electric at sites. You need to get the ok from the DNR staff. I would stay at this campground again if passing through this area.
LegendNice wooded sites varying in size. Packed pretty close together so don't expect a ton of privacy. Two portions of the campground across the road from each other. Small playground, a beach, office, wood shed, etc. sites have fire ring and picnic table. Good alternative if the state park is full! Stayed here for 1 night as the state park was full for part of my time on the island, ended up just sleeping in my car to avoid doing a full set up for just 1 night to catch the first ferry out the next day.
