New Prospect

Located less than a mile west of Dunbar, New Prospect operates as a veteran memorial site within the Kettle Moraine State Forest system. The campground features a pavilion, playground, and hand pump water source positioned near the main parking area. Tent sites include raised grills, though registration procedures remain unclear according to recent visitor reports.

The maintained grounds function primarily as a day-use area, making overnight camping status uncertain for those planning extended stays. Campers seeking confirmed overnight options can explore campgrounds near Dunbar or consider Twelve Foot Falls County Park, located 4.8 miles south with established camping protocols.

Couldn’t tell if camping was allowed

This one appears to now be a veteran memorial. There is a pavilion and playground. A hand pump for water is right by the parking area. We saw plenty of space for tents with some raised grills. However we couldn’t find any info on if camping is allowed/not allowed  or how to register. This is right at the edge of Dunbar so we felt uncomfortable setting up for the night. It is beautifully maintained and made for a nice picnic before looking for another spot to camp.
