RangerThe first thing we noticed driving in is that the wash house closes today 10/14 at 4 PM for the season, which isn’t an issue for us. Open sites, walkways to a rocky beach, but also trail to a sandy beach. Our site is not level.
LegendThis is a lovely campground for families. Easy access to the lake for fishing and kayaking. The water side sites are great! Clean facilities and hot showers. Our next door site neighbors had 12 kids between their 2 sites. You can imagine we did not have a peaceful experience here. Neither the parents nor Camp host gave 2 hoots about quiet hours. The kids were screaming and running through our campsite well after 11 pm each night. Which leads me to my only 2 issues with this campground. There are few cut-throughs to access the bathrooms, so at any moment a stranger could be found unapologetically walking right thru your site. Issue two… I urge you to stead clear of booking site 810. The dishwashing/water station is located inside this site. Not near the road like the rest of them but, inside the site. We spent our evening with either screaming children using it as “safe” zone for freeze-tag, or the entire loop washing their dishes. Not fun….
TravelerClean, large sites, many shaded. Excellent management. Lots to do on the peninsula.
TravelerI absolutely loved it here first time staying and will be back many more! Would've given 5 starts if the sites had electricity, but theres still plug in over by the pavilion. Definitely a gem of a find.!!!!
ScoutThis is our first time here and we love it and will be coming back, however there are some definite downsides. The biggest downside is the limited number of campsites with sewer hookups. We are in a field next to a building with full plumbing. It seems like it would be relatively easy to put in sewer connections when the sites are so close to a building with sewer. It seems like almost all of the very few sewer sites are reserved for seasonals. The other downside is there are lots of narrow passages through the woods with low hanging branches. The grounds are beautiful but they really need to do a lot of pruning work along the roads.
ScoutWe typically avoid private, commercial campgrounds but this one is a rare exception and the gem of Door County. Quiet setting, spacious sites and meticulously maintained property makes this our go to campground when visiting Door County.
RangerSouth Nicolet Bay is amazing. All the amenities of a private campground within a state park. So much here to do and see. The beach offers a gift shop, showers, rentals, and food.
TravelerGorgeous views of Lake Michigan with electric sites. The campground is well maintained with a playground, bathrooms and a dump station.
TravelerClean bath house, reasonable fee, spacious sites, great staff
Glamping close to Ellison Bay, Wisconsin offers a range of accommodations in the northernmost section of Door County. The area sits on a peninsula extending into Lake Michigan with an elevation ranging from 580 to 720 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures typically range from 65-80°F during peak camping season, while fall brings cooler temperatures around 45-60°F with less humidity.
Hiking to lakefront views: Peninsula State Park's South Nicolet Bay Campground provides direct trail access to stunning lake vistas. "The trails & the views at Peninsula are breath-taking. The sunsets over Lake Michigan are remarkable!!" reports Holly M. The park features multiple trail options connecting to beaches and viewpoints.
Beach swimming: J.W. Wells State Park offers a sandy swimming area with gradual entry points. According to Lora Y., "It's right on the lake and has a beautiful beach. There are events for kids to keep them entertained, especially on holiday weekends." The beach typically remains comfortable for swimming from mid-June through early September.
Disc golf: Pioneer Trail Park & Campground features a 27-hole disc golf course winding through wooded areas. "Access to fishing right at our site and disc golf across from our camper!" notes Dana K. The course remains open from April through October, weather permitting, with no additional fee for campers.
Clean facilities: Hy-Land Court RV Park earns consistent praise for maintenance. "Owners are amazing and accommodating. The park has open areas and more secluded areas as well," shares Jennifer B. The facilities include regularly cleaned restrooms and hot showers.
Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer generously sized sites. "The sites were private and spacious. The showers were impeccable. There is even a dish washing station," reports Kay K. about Wagon Trail Campground. Sites typically include fire rings and picnic tables.
Shade coverage: Tranquil Timbers provides tree cover at many sites. "The sites are well shaded with forest trees, trails to enjoy, fishing and paddling at water," notes James M. The shade helps during summer months when temperatures reach into the 80s.
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds in the area operate from May through October. According to Rob E. about Hy-Land Court RV Park, "We had full hookups and a large wooded site. Staff delivered firewood directly to you as well." Many locations close completely during winter months.
Limited privacy: Some campgrounds arrange sites closer together than others. "The sites are a little less secluded than we expected but weren't on top of each other by any means," writes Erin P. about Potawatomi State Park. Consider booking midweek for fewer neighbors.
Reservation requirements: During peak season (July-August), reservations are often necessary. "We go here every labor day. We bank from 6-8 sites next to each other. Fantastic place," shares GA J. about Wagon Trail Campground. Book 3-6 months in advance for weekend stays.
Playground access: Kleinke Park Campground offers play areas for children. "Great showers and playground, day camping areas abound," mentions Jaime N. The playground equipment accommodates children ages 2-12 and provides a gathering spot for meeting other camping families.
Recreation options: Several campgrounds provide organized activities. "The campground was impeccably clean. The sites are decent sized, with wooded area in between the sites," Marissa F. notes about Wagon Trail. Some locations offer game rooms, volleyball courts, or swimming facilities.
Safety considerations: Most family-friendly campgrounds maintain quiet hours from 10pm-8am. "The camp atmosphere is respectful of the natural sounds and beauty around us," writes Carl S. about J.W. Wells State Park. Rangers or hosts typically patrol regularly to ensure rule compliance.
Site leveling: River Park Campground provides well-maintained sites. "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," notes Ron M. Many sites are paved or have compacted gravel pads.
Hookup options: Full-service sites with water, electric, and sewer connections are available at select campgrounds. "We were given the same spot both times, site 53. The first time we were in our 34' ft 5er with a diesel dually truck and the spot was tight," reports Lora H. about River Park Campground. Sites with 50-amp service fill quickly during peak months.
Easy access: Most campgrounds accommodate larger RVs. "The campground in general is pretty fantastic. However, there is a loop of campgrounds in Nicolet Bay that, if you are lucky enough to reserve them, better than any campsite in the state," Terra F. shares about Peninsula State Park. Roads typically have 12-foot clearance for taller rigs.
