  Fayette Historic State Park

  Dark skies Retreat

  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!

  Fayette State Park

  Good

  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.

  North Bay Shore Park

  secluded

  Peaceful, quiet, easy to book and well kept! Bathroom was ice cold and only cold water in bathroom. Very nice hot water in shower house. They made us pay for 2 nights when we only stayed for one on a Monday(not a weekend) but I’d absolutely recommend this campground! Very peaceful!!

  Fayette State Park

  Great campground

  New, 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.

  Fayette State Park

  Nice spot, GREAT bathrooms

  Stayed 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.

  Rustic Timbers Door County Camping

  Great spot for families

  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!

  Beautiful location but not if you have a bigger camper

  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!

  Door County KOA Holiday

  Overall a good experience

  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.

  Island Resort and Casino RV Park

  Basic RV park with free shuttle to the casino

  We were in Site# 14. We had electric/water with a paved pull-through. We travel towing a 14 foot trailer and were able to fit both in our pull through site along with my jeep.
  The site was easy to level but the wheels of our motor home were off of the ground.

  Check-in is at the hotel. The RV park is not visible from the hotel (it’s back in the woods). There is a phone at the shower house that can be used to request a free shuttle to the casino.

  Our site was not shaded with limited trees. This was a smaller lot with our neighbors fairly close.

  The lot comes with a picnic table and fire ring.

  There was not any WiFi (we used our Starlink). They do not offer Cable TV.

  There is not a community outdoor kitchen or community fire pit.

  They do not provide garbage service at your site so you must walk to garbage dumpster.

  They do have an indoor Swimming pool at the hotel with a sauna and steam shower.

  There is not a Playground. There are not any additional play areas like Bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball sport court, horseshoe, or volleyball courts.

  They have a general store in the parking lot of the casino where you can also get gas.

  There are restaurants on site in the hotel as well as a spa. The closest big town with stores is Escanaba (about 20 minutes away).

  This is solely an RV park. They do not have any cabins to rent or any tent areas.

  They have one shower house. The shower house has individual showers (toilets & sinks are on opposite side of shower house).

  The laundry facility is located at the BP gas station (located in the parking lot of the casino/hotel). It is a cash only facility, but they have a change machine. It is approximately $2 to wash and $2 to dry a load.

  They do not have a fenced in dog park. There are areas to walk dogs.

  Bugs did not seem to be an issue.

  Some fun things to do outside of the campground are to visit the Sandy Point Lighthouse or Ludington Park in Escanaba.

  The casino is smoke-free. It states that the tables are open from 10am to 2am. Not all tables are available though (for instance, roulette wasn’t always available and if they did open up the one roulette table, it wasn’t until 6 or 7pm). The slot machine options are abundant.

  Gladstone Bay Campground

  3 nt stay

  Love the campground but very strong gas smell. Hopefully will subside and I won’t get sick…headache etc but smell is in my camper since there is a nice breeze had windows open. The campground is very nice….other campers friendly. I am at electric site but not using it. Could not put my rv ambulance in tent spot.
  Bathrooms are very clean…showers free! Right on the water. Very beautiful! Gas smell is only down side. Luckily was for only the first night.

  Beautiful place to stay on Lake Michigan

  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!!

  Countryside Motel & RV Sites

  Unappealing

  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.

  Potawatomi State Park

  Great location but VERY busy and noisy campground!

  Camped for two nights in the northern loop. The camp store is fantastic -- lots of camping gear, snacks, beer, ice cream, and merch. The bathrooms were clean and the showers had nice hot/warm water! The hand dryer in the ladies bathroom is useless, though, so I ended up just having to air dry.

  Amazing hiking and sights! Very close to the water and trails. The shoreline is rocky and definitely not meant for swimming. The boat launch is north of the campground and even has a fish-cleaning station. You can rent kayaks and paddleboards from the camp store and then launch them at the boat landing.

  VERY VERY noisy campground. Lots of screaming kids and barking dogs and loud-talking. While this doesn't bother a lot of people, it made it difficult to really relax. Also, this isn't a reflection of the park at all -- of course it's a popular campground, as it has a lot of amenities and activities. I knew what I was getting myself into!

  The sites are pretty close to one another but there are a lot of trees and greenery, so you still feel like you're in your own space. The bathrooms are all very clean and within short walking distance from the sites. 

  Next time I visit, I will do it in April/May or September/October so that I can avoid peak season, but I'll definitely be coming back!

  BayRidge RV Park

  Very Peaceful

  Very quiet and peaceful. Very clean facilities. Only one washer and dryer. Well maintained although we never saw anyone in the office, but they'll call you back. No Verizon service. Only T-Mobile and AT&T. WIFI only works around the office / facilities building. Have plenty of levelling equipment available!! Some are very level, some are not level at all. We were in spot 32 and 4" laterally and 19" longitudinally out of level to start with - at my max hitch jack limit and still 3" nose low. Saw others even worse. But we managed. Still a very peaceful experience. Nice huge fire rings and good large picnic tables!

  Tent campers beware

  I really liked the camp ground. I didn’t like the rv’s in the tent/rustic campsites running their generator’s all night long.

  Upper Peninsula Golf & Lake Resort

  Scary bad!

  We were going to stay at this “resort” tonight but when we drove in, we took a little look around and got out as fast as we could! This is no “resort”. It is a garbage dump masquerading as a “campground.” There was no one in the “office” and the place was not mowed or even taken care of in the slightest. It was surrounded by a swamp which look like a breeding ground for a million mosquitos. There were several “campers” there that look like they had been living in the squalor. Do NOT try to stay at this garbage dump! It is scary bad! It should not even be listed on The Dyrt as it is a horrible as it can possibly get!

  In the woods, but with all of the amenities!

  You are in the woods, but with all of the amenities! The location is in the middle of everything. We stayed in July 2023 and would definitely return. Cell service was good, and their clubhouse area was cute.
