Hidden gem in the heart of Lake Country

A very nice, woodsy campground. Feels like you are further north than you really are!

Up north camping in the “city”

It was a small plot of camp. It was noisy from kids. But it was a good time and easy to get to from Chicago. 

Small campground but woodsy

Nice quiet place to take kids to swim. Beach is clean and there are trees for shade and grills to cook

Stayed here for a quick weekend getaway in the late spring. The campground area is nice and wooded. Provides ample privacy from other campers. Although the road ways are a little tight. Very windy weekend but I imagine during the summer it’s a great spot to camp near their big beach and lake access. 

Late Spring Visit

This is a great place to experience nature near the cities. With the convenience of its location in mind, the entire grounds is surrounded by roads, highways and the constant hum of traffic, sometimes louder than others. We also were mislead on our hike and ended up leaving the parking and following the Ice Age Trail for about a half mile, which was all paved and followed huge power lines which buzzed above our heads. This would be nice for wheelchairs. Once back on the yellow trail, the gravel returned below our feet and we made our way to the boat dock. Here was a beautiful ramp enhancing wheelchair accessibility. Beautiful boathouse rentable seasonally. Heated in-door plumbing for the toilets that were open, vault toilets also available and all were clean, even off season. Nice that it’s by the lake. Dog friendly, even a dog swimming area. Group camping, open fields, numerous grills and picnic tables. Lots of pluses and negatives for this park, it all really depends on what you’re looking for. 

Surrounded by Traffic and Power Lines 

There are very large group camping sites as well as a small number of family sites.  The family sites are small - and there are only toilets available - but there is a main building down a steep hill to get to nicer facilities and showers. 

Great Small County Campground

It is quite nice and pretty out here. A lot of amenities you’ll find at other campgrounds. It is very close to main roads as I heard traffic all day and sometimes sirens. But honestly pretty good spot.
