North Nicolet Bay Campground — Peninsula State Park

North and South Nicolet Bay campgrounds is where the action is. It felt like spring break out at the beach and boat ramp (no pets allowed on beach). 

North Nicolet has no power sites, all are no hookups. There is a dump station and water fill near Tennison Bay campground. 

Campground is very close to the beach, and you definitely hear the shrieking children from the beach, especially if you get a site close to the beach like we did, so heads up. 

There’s a host on site, flush toilets, and showers. Recycling and garbage here as well as a playground.

I’ll be very forward in saying PSP is one of the best state parks we’ve ever stayed at/explored but I took one star off due to the terrible bathrooms. We stayed in the tennison bay campground and it was fantastic. Our site was medium sized and fit our large tent well. Our neighbors were very respectful so our stay was very peaceful. The trails/views at PSP are some of the best we’ve experienced in the Midwest. We hiked over 9 miles and it was fantastic every step of the way. Really wish I would have brought my clubs because the golf course in the park looked amazing. As I mentioned, one star deducted for the terrible bathrooms not only in our campground but throughout the park. For how insanely popular this park is, you would think they would get priority in funding for a refresh on the bathrooms. They were very old/dirty with many having stalls and showers out of order. I normally shower every morning when camping and I opted to skip the showers entirely. With that said, the park itself was spectacular and I look forward to coming back.

A short walk through the woods to the beach, feeling secluded surrounded by the sounds of nature. Hiking paths and peace. Clean water and nice sites.
