Peninsula State Park is one of five State Parks in the area!! It is by far the largest and therefore also the most busiest. Book your campsites early because this is a hard park to get a campsite at on the fly. They do offer some non reservable sites but they go fast as well. This Park is off of Hwy 42 in beautiful Door County!, right on the Bay of Green Bay. There are many trails to hike and bike here, a beautiful beach, and plenty of sight seeing in the park. This park offers numerous campgrounds and each has a different atmosphere. The further from the beach the quieter it gets. The facilities are clean and showers are modern. There is a camp store located at the beach as well. The Sunset Bike Trail is a trail that travels through the park and is mostly crushed stone. Bike rentals are available in the park near the beach or just outside the park on HWY42 just across the street at a local bike store. The observation tower no longer stands at the park as it was recent taken down in 2017 due to structural issues but there are still plenty of view to see in the park without it. The Eagle hiking trail is a must and not too challenging but will lead you to some cool cave formations.

If your hoping to escape the busy park you won't have much luck outside the park. The whole peninsula is towns and villages full of shops, art studios, wineries, ice cream shops, confectionaries, restaurants and even a drive-in movie theater.. If I make it sound overwhelming, it is because it can be. But even with all this going on and a festival almost every weekend, the area and park are enough to make me come back every year..multiple times!! That isn't to say it is never quiet. If you go in the winter months or even March through May, you get a sense of what the area has to offer without the crowds. If you would like a more quiet atmosphere I would suggest other parks in the area that offer camping. Aside from park camping there are also numerous modern campgrounds available in the area. Either way you won't be disappointed with your trip to Peninsula State Park
