Very secluded
Very nice and and quite! Bathroom only has cold water but shower house has nice hot water. We are here on a Monday and it made us pay for 2 nights so that’s my biggest complaint but this is a very secluded and clean park so I’d stay here again!

Nice woody sites near the lake
We stayed in the primitive area which wasn't crowded at all just after labor day. The sites were nice and wooded with lots of privacy. It rained most of the time we were there so we didn't get to explore much. Tried to walk down to the lake from our site, but just got to the top of the cliffs on the lake.
The automated pay system insisted we pay for 2 nights since they considered Thursday to be a weekend night. This is just silly. Thursday is NOT a weekend night.
We only spent one night due to the rain.

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!

Restful and quiet
We rolled in just after Labor Day so things were quiet….lots of space. Beautiful wooded areas, beach access, bike trails, quiet, and abundant toilet facilities and laundry.

Great first-come, first- serve or reserved sites
We were tent camping and stayed on a rustic site. Although we were 205 and it was fine, I would choose 212 and that area next time. $22 night for a rustic site; $34 for reserved with hook-ups. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and nice laundry

Music Oriented Camp
While it may not look like much from the road in the approach, as the photos and some of the signage suggests, this camp is largely centered around music. A local staple, many regular and occasionally irregular music festivals are held here. The campsites are adequate for what events are held here. Visiting during a time where music isn't playing can be plenty serene and relaxing. The last time I was here I recall falling asleep in my camp chair!

Labor Day Weekend Site 339
Our first trip with our new to us travel trailer. We were assigned site 339 and in our opinion lucked out with the best site possible in our category. We were nicely surrounded by woods with minimal visibility of our neighbors. We walked the park and for full hook up sites the 300s are nice if you're looking for a more secluded/wooded spot, the pull throughs have minimal division from your neighbors. My only complaint is that with dogs it would have been nice to have some grass the entire site was gravel to the tree line. We had to take our dogs to the field for potty as they refused to poop at our site. Firewood is $10/wagon and you must purchase at the park. Multiple nice play areas, my 4 year old had a blast. They had a live band all day Saturday until 9:15 and it made it difficult to get our 4 year old to nap/go to bed even with 2 sound soother on high and a fan running but I will say the band looked fun! Highly recommend the campground as wholw, we will be back!

Rustic Timbers Door County Camping
Very peaceful and private
I was surprised that each site is pretty wooded making you feel like you don't have neighbors. The surrounding area is just expansive farmlands which is beautiful to look at when walking the dog in the morning.
They have fun kid things but you have to pay extra to use them. They have a free playground (old school looking, lots of metal haha) that my kids had a lot of fun on so that's good. It also is too rainy to use the fun have-to-pay park which includes these huge pillows that kids can jump on. They also have a trampoline basketball activity and a more updated jungle gym.
The pool seemed small for the campground size but we haven't used it due to the rain so it was just a visual observation.

Nice clean campground!
We love this place! One of the best places we’ve stayed. Bathrooms are well kept and clean. Sites are spacious and owners are very friendly! We’ve been here many times and will continue to come back!

Washington Island Campground
Poised for greatness but falls short
Reservation process was smooth, as was check in. Site had both 30 and 50 amp hookups. Oddly, no standard 110v 15amp plug though. There is water at each site, but the lowest water pressure I have ever seen. Grounds well maintained, though the main building looks half finished and remained that way for many years. The bathrooms unfortunately do not match the upscale vibe of the campground. They were dirty, tons of sand tracked in, poorly maintained. The men’s urinal was a long term plywood out of order sign. Black mold on ceiling tiles in many places. Showers require a quarter to start them ??This campground looks like it started out with so much promise and now the owners are just coasting without putting much effort into the place. We have been here days and have yet to catch a time the office and store was open. Swimming hole looks nice for kids but due to poor planning of its location, it’s primary function is to provide a source of non stop sand in her bathrooms

Great on the go last minute sight
We visited Bay beach in Green Bay and then wanted to spend the night near Green Bay in our 35’ class A. Not making reservations in Wisconsin during the summer is risky but fell upon this beautiful 50% first come county campground that is well kept. Both 50 and 30 amp service with hiking, biking, gardens and more.

Great Family Place
Rustic Timbers has a lot going on. In the campground there is a very nice store with a snack bar, ice cream and adult beverages. There is a nice pool and playground for children. While we were there it was Christmas in July and many campers had decorated. There were hayrides to view the decorations.
This is a very large campground and some spaces are pretty tight. We stayed on the Horseshoe Loop which was less crowded and very nice.
It is very close to Egg Harbor and we had fun exploring there also. There is a laundry and 2021 rates are from $46 to $63 a night.
Great place for family reunions.

Decent Place For a Base for Door County Travels
Bay Shore Park was an ok campground. The scenery and Bay were very nice.
The electric and water hookups were on opposite sides of the site, and we had to keep adjusting the travel trailer to get both to actually hook up.
The ground was a sandy-dirt, which wasn't too bad at first, but after an overnight rain it was a muddy mess.
9/23/20- 9/25/20; $30/night; #86 electric & water

Cedar River North State Forest Campground
Highly recommended
This place is awesome. It's 8 miles down an old logging trail but it's worth the drive. There is no electricity but they have a fresh water spigot. There are 14 campsites, half of which have horse pens, most of the sites are river front on the Cedar River, and 2 sets a trails,one which is an equestrian trail that doubles as ski trails in winter. There is a kayak launch and the river is a great place for catching bass. Every site has at least one handicap accessible picnic table and a small fire pit. Most of the sites are big enough to fit a camper. There is a set of mudding trails across the river with easy access, the sounds are not too loud. The campground is usually empty or close to it. The mudders do come visit the grounds for the bathrooms, otherwise it's pretty quiet. There is a bunch of wildlife, you can hear birds and squirrels chattering, coyotes call to each other in the early in the morning across the river, and lots of little critters scurrying about. Dogs are welcome. There is a gas station/Mart on the highway before the turnoff that sells fire wood and other items you may need while camping

Relaxation not too far from the City
The tent sites are a great size and semi private (you can have a conversation and not be heard at other sites). The bathroom and showers are decent and cleaned daily around 6 am. There are reservable and walk-in sites. The sites also have extra parking across from them.
There is a lot to do for kids a great play area, swimming, fishing, boating etc. There are hiking trails but not a lot.
The couple I went with had issues with the site next to them ( loud inappropriate language and using drugs) the rangers responded quickly and efficiently!
I have been there summer and late spring.

Spacious Sites, Friendly Staff, Pet Friendly
Spent a great night with my son and our dog. Staff delivered fire directly to our site. Watching lightning storms approach from over the lake was exhilarating .
