North Nicolet Bay Campground — Peninsula State Park

Sites offer fire rings, tables, restrooms, shaded sites. Stunning views, great trails ( some moderate to difficult), fishing and paddling at water access. Park offers a look out tower, lighthouse, golf course.

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.

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.

I have hear so much about Peninsula that when I had the opportunity to visit I took it. Also, it’s the first time that I used my hammock tent…which was awesome.

So much to do, visit Ephraim, surrounding county parks, stargazing, Wilson’s ice cream! There is so much to do in this area while staying at Peninsula State Park.

Absolutely beautiful and huge park on the tip of the Door Peninsula. Spacious sites that are mere steps to the water. It honestly could be your entire vacation with fantastic hikes, biking trails, swimming beach, well stocked store, kayak and canoe rentals, golf, a theater and more. There is no shortage of fun to be had here. Came in mid July and still found a spot. This place is a gem!

Beautiful wooded area with ready access to the water. Fantastic shower facilities. You do feel a bit packed in with your fellow campers at the adjacent sites. Not a heck of a lot of privacy.

We are pop up people and love that, while campers love their big trailers these days, Nicolet bay has stayed the same. Not many of the sites have electric. We’re okay with that. Not much is the way it was in Door county, but this state park is a good one. The bethrooms are nice and clean the showers are good.

One of the best park campgrounds I’ve stayed at. Beautiful setting, tons of trails, tons of wooded campsites, attractions, lake access. Worth the visit if you’re visiting this area of the Great Lakes

Beautiful campsites, great golf course and ferry ride away to Washington Isle!

We spent one night overnight and had a wonderful time - relaxing, good clean water, family friendly, and plenty of activities.

This campground is the best of all worlds. Perfect opportunities to hike , Bike, kayak and much more! Located right outside fish creek, easy to hop into town to enjoy shops and local cherry orchards!

A great state park.

Great for car camping and a weekend away. lots of cool family hiking and beach with snack shack. *poison ivy is present.

Beautiful park with an awesome beach! They serve food and rent out kayaks and paddle boards! The sites are nice sites. You have to walk a ways to the beach but totally worth it. The bike trails are awesome

I wanted to give 2 out of 5 stars but felt that would be unfair since we only experienced one campsite area, South Nicollet area. Very crowded, basically all RV's with families, we were in ear shit of crying babies and dogs with small dog syndrome! If RV'ing is your thing, this might be 5 out of 5 but for tent camping it's incredibly loud and crowded. Virtually no privacy beside maybe a couple spots. I've heard Tennison bay campsites are more secluded? Maybe that's the way to go, so book in advance, and go for campsites in the outer circles of the areas! I'd recommend hitting up eagle trail early before it gets busy, very unique trail but bring ankle support lots of rocks. And rent a canoe/kayak lots of great views. I can def see coming back to PSP but only for a day pass. I'd pass on this one if you prefer tent camping.

The secret is out on this place it was super busy. The campground was great and it felt very secluded with lots of greenery and wildlife. The hiking trails were marked very well and lead straight out of the campground. We rented some Kayaks and bikes which was nice because we didn't have room to pack ours. The mountain has some cool caves to explore. The beach was nice to relax on but very busy with tourist. If you stay here make sure and check out all the cool features of the state park. Make sure and check out the Lighthouse it was awesome.

Peninsula State park is a very busy camping destination in the summer, so reserve your spot early! It's a beautiful park with lots of campsite options. There is hiking, biking, and a wonderful beach in the park as well.
