I was caught up in some pretty bad weather after a camping trip to Palo Duro and needed a place to hunker down until the weather cleared. The campground is located down a long gravel road and contains 10 sites. No amenities, just a picnic table. The wind blew dirt everywhere and there was a lot of wind as trees were few and far between. It was quiet, maybe 1 or 2 others during my stay. The flies and moths were relentless and made the stay less enjoyable. The best part of this stay was the cost. FREE! With an America the Beautiful senior pass. Otherwise with a reg. ATB pass, it was 2.00 night. No water or dump anywhere near and it’s a bit of a trek to get there from Palo Duro SP.
I stayed in Rocky Point , A loop. Nice campground in desert setting overlooking the lake. A lot of pull thru sites as well as back ins. Electric was all thru the loop, however water hook ups were not. A pump was located a little ways down the loop, however. Some sights had covered picnic tables, others not. If shade is important check the details before booking and it will tell if you have water and the pic will show the picnic table. Nice trails. Enjoyed the scenic lake loop. Juniper campground was walk-in only and looked to be much more secluded but without amenities. There was also a primitive camping area.
I have been camping at this park for at least 30 years and I keep coming back. It is just small enough to enjoy in a weekend and big enough to keep entertained and busy. There is water, woods, trails, camping and lots of natural beauty. Of all of Wisconsins state parks, this remains one of my favorites.
