close to home, but so far a favorite

our second trip we stayed close to home and so far, between the lake and the site, we really like it! visiting hours are a bit early, definitely not a “party” camp, which is fine by us. It’s a beautiful state park worth a stop. My husband’s grandparents were campground hosts so he grew up going there. I will say the quality and care has gone way down over the years- tends to attract people at the beach that can be naughty at times-punk kids, etc. Zion has gone downhill which is super sad, but Kenosha, WI is a Great lakefront to spend a Saturday at the farmers market! Stop by and see Jill and Dan at The Sweet Life. Doughnut Stop if you go and tell them we sent you! #OurBoxcarAdventures5

lake +, mosquitoes-

rv sites electric are at sunrise, not sunset, with the exception of the handicapped site. It was a hot weekend, so the sandy Beach and warm water were great! kayaking was nice too on wolf lake. Bummer that visitors have to pay $11 but the 11 pm visitor curfew is nice. Wi State parks also require a sticker- $38 annually. And, reserve America hides a $9.65 credit card transaction fee when booking. Not sure if calling is better. Sites are super tight and wooded, so expect to be breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an army full mosquitos. Couldn’t even sit outside at the site really. It would be better if they could cut back some. oh! and take the drive into Burlington for some Adrien’s Frozen Custard! Yum! #OurBoxcarAdventures5

Maiden voyage-nothing fancy

quiet, nice activities for kids, nice pass through camp site-however, very close sites and for sure not “scenic“. Some friendly regulars and some weekend visitors. We went there for our first experience with our new rv. Clean bathrooms. We also travel with our daughter with special needs, and the spaces were pretty accessible, a step or two to climb over with the stroller. Lots of families. It’s kinda in the middle of no where so we probably won’t be back. But if you like antiques or fun local places, head to The Milk House in Pingree and hit up the antique shops on your way. The one with all the junk is great if you like to dig but a bit overpriced. #OurBoxcarAdventures5
