    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!!

    Bay Shore Park

    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!

    Brown County Reforestation Campground

    Nice location!!

    Great place to stay! Big rig friendly! Gravel pads and each site comes with a picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms in the campground were clean and I believe there were showers.

    Mountain Lakes

    Nice quiet spot

    We were to only ones here camping. This area has 3 sites 2 next to each other west side of lake and 1 on the north side of the lake. All have lake frontage. We choose the single, north of the lake site. The only drawback to this site it is right on the road with mostly ATV, UTV traffic. I would 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.

    Mountain Lakes

    Amazing view, not free

    I stayed three nights over Labor day weekend. There was an ATV festival in lakewood that i was unaware of until arriving so there was a lot of dust and noise. ATV riders also frequently walk into your camp to use the toilet. I had to adjust my camp for privacy after the first couple of groups.

    Aside from that the camp is the perfect size for vans, small trailers or tents. The ground is not very even but you could probably get one or two tents in there.

    No fish in the lake. Don't bother trying.

    The worst part was finding the pay station. Its at a campsite on highway T about 3 miles south of 64. It's $5 per night cash or check only. I spoke with a park ranger who was checking in at camps, he said they were going to post maps next year at each site.

    There is a small easy to climb path straight down to the lake. It's a fairly soft, muddy bank but I was able to launch my kayak easily from there.

    If you are hammock camping this is a fantastic spot.

    Boulder Lake

    Beautiful site

    We had site 18 which is right on the water and across from the shower house. It was decently spaced out from the other sites. The shore was pretty level and easy to get our kayaks in and out. The shore is shallow and mostly sand. Nice for swimming. We did catch one bass off the shore. The firepit grate was most of the bars so that made grilling a little harder. Be aware the sites to the east are higher elevation and looked like it was steep to get down to the water. Shower house was nice and clean. The first night we did hear a bunch of teens yelling at the shower house around midnight, but they either got kicked out or left because we didnt hear them again. The waterfront sites are on the main road, so you do hear all the RVs coming and going. Definitely will go back!

    McCaslin Brook Dispersed site

    Nice sites along brook

    There are three sites two small one large site which you can fit larger camper or RV in. Entrances need a lot of TLC washed out and large drop from paved road. Middle camp site has best access to brook I put a 8 foot pop up in it you could go bigger 20 foot max. One site I would say is tent only very tight. Wilderness toilet but they look pretty full.

    First stay at this campground and would definitely go back

    Stayed for the first time at this campground in July and loved it. We stayed on a tent site, it was huge and had electric. I love that the campground is right on the lake and there’s quite a few amenities for people who boat. It is pet friendly and the bathrooms are quite a walk but clean and hot water is available.

    Chute Pond Park

    One of my favorite campgrounds

    Chute pond park is one of my favorite campgrounds to stay at. They have reasonable rates, clean bathrooms and almost all sites are electric. There’s lots to do the whole weekend whether you want to go hiking, fishing, boating, small cliff jumping, or take a walk to slippery rock. This year they also have now available kayaks for rent at $20 per hour.

    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.

    Satisfied

    Currently in the park for 2 weeks. Good setting, situated on Shawano Lake although not directly lake side. The beach is big with a two lane boat launch.

    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.

    Great for brook trout-close to federal campgrounds

    This area is close to Boulder Lake Campground. If you cannot find the campsite or wish to camp closer to a small river with trout, this is a great location. It has established toilets.
