At the last minute we decided to go camping for the holiday weekend. We called 6 campgrounds close to us on Thursday at noon and this was the only one with availability. Best part about the campgrounds is that the showers have great pressure despite the buildings being old, the camping spaces are typically spacious, and there is lots of felled wood that you can use in your fire pits. The negatives as a dog owner is that dogs are not allowed on most trails or on to the beach.
Our first time camping here and it is a real treasure. Very spacious campsites close to or on the water. There is a marina if you have a boat, and the fishing is supposedly excellent. Expensive playground areas with picnic, grills, and fire pits. Lots of bird life to observe on the water and deer in the wooded areas.
There is a bar and grill at the entrance to the park and it is open for lunch and dinner. A few miles away in the village of Stockbridge there is an excellent coffee shop with breakfast and lunch options.
After leaving a flooded, soggy Blue Mounds State Park we decided to see if we could get a site here on Saturday afternoon so we could complete a weekend camping in our new trailer. We were thrilled to be able to choose from maybe 20 unoccupied non electric sites - we do not need electricity as we have solar. These sites were so spacious - but one downside is the fire pits are very old and many do not have grills for cooking on.
Pit toilets are available in the non electric area, but toilets/showers are available by the dump station. Two playgrounds, picnic areas, fabulous trails, and just beside the Horicon Marsh wildlife area. We will be back!
