The campground is open May 1st – October 31st. In addition to the main campground, three canoe campsites adjacent to the Plover River exist.  All sites except the canoe sites are provided with electrical hookups.  Reservations can be made in person at the Portage County Parks office or on this website with Master Card or VISA, and must be made at least 7 days in advance of when a site is to be occupied.  The campground also has a handicapped site that can be reserved. 

Jordan Park

Very busy during the summer, and not really my style (I like things quieter), but on a beautiful lake/pond. It's a very popular spot with locals, as it is right outside of town.There are lots of graduation parties, family reunions, and other parties held during the summer. There is a playground a little ways away from most of the campsites, and near the beach. The boat launch is nice.The walk-in sites are wonderful, and I couldn't wish for more with regards to those. If you do want a walk-in, make sure to book it well in advance as they fill up. The walk is pretty short but the sites are nice and secluded. The park is a little bit spread out between parts, instead of being in one small area, so be prepared to do some walking.

Nice but busy

Such a wonderful experience! After a bit of uncertainty about how to access the sites (they were listed some places as "canoe in") we were pleasantly surprised to see the sites were just a walk over a bridge :)  All 3 canoe sites are on a small island. (We were lucky enough to be the only people camping at any of the sites!)

  

 All of the canoe sites are great!  We stayed in site #1 which was closest to the bridge (and bathroom just over the bridge ;) )- nice level site and large. Site #2 was a bit smaller but more secluded. Site #3 was large but wasn't as level (though there was WAY more water access- 3 sides of water views!)   Walk to the sites was not bad at all. 

  

I would highly recommend these 3 campsites!  We saw the rest of the campground and it looked pretty standard, but these sites are a gem.  Showers are at the main campground, but there is a pit toilet and water access  just across the bridge near the parking area. 

  

The park/area is really nice too!  The park has a beach, small playground area, a bike trail, and some hiking areas.  Nice lake to canoe or kayak on as well. Plus the nature center has programs too!  The stream had turtles, crayfish, and frogs to check out as well :) 

  

\*check out the Green Circle trail and the Stevens Point Sculpture Garden if you wanna get out of the park :)

secluded canoe-in/walk-in site

One of the worst camping trips I’ve had and it was a bummer. The campground is cute and small but the people working at the park then were awful. We had 6 people at the site 4 adults and 2 children. I’ve never in my lifetime of camping been told that each couple had to pay to camp at the same site together. Not only is it not cheap (25$ a night) they made us and our friends both pay so it was 150$ for us to camp 3 days. That’s outrageous. Also they had leaf blowers going at 7 am and came right next to our tents. Then lawn mowers did the same. It was obnoxious and I swear it took them 3 hours to do it. It’s a small campground. It also rained one day which we usually never mind but our entire campsite was a lake. It sucked. I would never go back.
