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!

The facilities here are top-notch, with clean bathrooms and showers that visitors rave about. Solar Many campers appreciate the electric hookups available at the sites, making it easier to enjoy the comforts of home while surrounded by nature.
GuideNew, clean bathrooms and showers. Showers are private and door locks. Campsites are very close together, little privacy. Walking trails that connect the campground to the old Fayette town on the coast are nearby.
GuideStayed here beginning of September for a few days. Site 53 and 54. 53 is nearly at the top of the horseshoe and has trail access to Lake MI. Site 54 starts a series of smaller, back in slot type sites. This stretch of sites was primarily used by overnighters in while we were here, and might be tight for a family to stretch their legs. The campground was pretty quiet, despite being full. The beauty of this campground is the trail access to the beach and lakefront, along with the nice modern bathrooms and showers. One drawback to these particular sites is the wall of invasive cocklebur along the outside, and you would get absolutely covered if you got near them. You can see them in my photo. Note: the lake area near the campground is all rip rap rock, like the white rock in the sunset photo with trees. There is a trail that goes past the boat landing to nice sand beach.

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!
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!

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.
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!
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.

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!!
Scout
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.
GuideBeautiful place right on a gorgeous Sandy beach. Immaculate shower house with coin op laundry. Will visit again.
Scout
Beautiful campground, wonderful company but horrible staff.
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.
GuideIsolated, quiet park on Lake Michigan. Nicely spaced and shaded sites. Some level, many not so great. Big fire rings. Picnic tables. Electric hookups only. Bath and shower facilities very new and nice. Spotty phone service. Historic ghost town within walking distance of the campground. Many buildings open during the day with displays of what life was like when the town was occupied. Great history lesson and very interesting. Although town buildings were locked at night, you could still walk the streets. Spooky but fun! Sunsets on the lake are spectacular. Many hiking trails around the park. Not strenuous and fairly short. However, trails could use better markings.

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.
RangerWe were a little close to our neighbors but that was ok. The historic site is awesome and the beach is beautiful. Great sunsets. Night skies were gorgeous. Campground is nice, just a little close to neighbors camping.
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
Ranger
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.

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.
ScoutWe 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.
ScoutSpacious campsites I’m very quiet not far away from Sister Bay

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.
GuideGreat far up north camp ground
TravelerHad the entire park to ourselves over the last 4 weeks, on weekends. Sites do appear to be close to each other and might be tight during the summer.
GuideSimply because of the location, you are basically forced to relax and slow down and take it easy. There are some hiking and biking trails, and the water is OK for kayaking, but it is not near anything, so we had to make do with what we had. The park is a very nice state park with typical sites, nice bathrooms and showers. The beach at the south end of the park is very nice as well and we spent a lot of time there. The big bonus to being here was the amazing star gazing at night with very clear views and little transient light to spoil the night time wonder.
