Great campground with beautiful nearby walking trails. A short drive to the observatory and bison prairie. We would go for a lake view site next time.
We spent part of spring break there this year. Sites are beautifully wooded with many excellent lake views, even with full hookups. Easy access to great bike trails.
So, like other reviewers, I’ll warn you that the park itself is brutally buggy, but you’re in the woods on a peninsula. It’s to be expected, so I don’t hold that against the campground.
This is a typical WI state park campground. The sites are spacious and very wooded. Amenities are few. If you need to fill your water tank, be advised the water and the dump station are poorly marked and positioned so that if you need to fill your water on arrival, you have to enter the park gate, turn around, fill it, leave the park, and turn around to come back in. It’s an awful design.
The bathroom buildings look newish and were fine, so I don’t understand why the showers were so awful. Full of mold/mildew, and the shower itself is line trying to wash your hair under a leaky gutter during a strong drizzle. I even saw park employees come service the bathrooms, yet the showers remained gross.
It’s okay for a layover type stay. I can’t imagine staying there for more than a long weekend and I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back. WI state parks have significantly better offerings than this one.
No. No, they can’t. This place lives up to every glowing review. It’s quiet, every site is wooded and offers privacy. Throw a dart at the map and you’ll get a great site. It’s clean, well kept, spotless bathroom and shower facilities, lovely little camp store manned by friendly people. And hallelujah, a playground to get my kids out of my hair, positioned in front of their office/store so it feels safe, too. Walking distance to Lake Michigan, the Mink River, and Grandma’s Swedish Bakery, in the heart of northern Door County. We will absolutely be back.
This place in the fall is magic. Beautifully wooded, many sites have a view of Lake Superior. You can hear the waves at night. Some of the sites are a tight squeeze if your rig is large, opt for the pull-through. Don’t expect to do work or school, service and internet up there is practically non existent. Instead, walk the shore of Superior, enjoy the all gorgeous sights the Porcupine Mountains have to offer just a short drive away. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept.
