My family spends a week here every year. It's clean, beautiful, and full of great people. The location is perfect if you plan to explore all the Kettle Morraine area has to offer.

This area is beautiful, the wildflowers around the grounds are stunning giving this campground a very natural look. Staff and hosts were very nice. Our collie enjoyed the check in window and scored a dog bone! Sites are a very good size and private, sites along the lake are beautiful. The lake swimming beach is clean, sandy and shared with geese and a pair of not shy sand hill cranes. Kayak and paddle board rentals are available. There is a designated swimming area for dogs. Plenty of rural bike riding and hikes and nature walks.

Great campground with numerous sites with electric. Some very nice non electric sites right along the lake. Nice beach area. They have a dog swim area next to boat ramp. Lake is great for canoes and kayaks. Office sells firewood, ice, ice cream and assortment of shirts, books and other knick-knacks.

We camped in 20-50 degree weather in early April. A cool site-365 but would never choose it if heavy rains were forecasted as it is down a hill but gives it more privacy and a bit more wind break with good distant views of the lake. We appreciated the very clean port a toilets and winter water and vault toilet. In season there are many shower houses and flush toilets for those that want. Super close access to the lake and beach but a pretty big road borders the campground so you can hear some traffic. Not terrible IMO but I saw some sites right next to the road, so check the map when booking. Rangers here were so so nice. Love Wisconsin rangers they are all amazing. During the peak months this campground is crazy busy so we prefer camping in Pinewoods campground nearby for besty and quiet. But it was closed so we booked here and I cannot complain, The Scuppernong Springs nature trail is right across the road and is a not to miss trail!!

Great place for a picnic, hike, or camping vacation. About 1/3 of the sites have electrical hookups. Two sites are hike-in, and there is an ADA accessible cabin. Three large reservable picnic shelters. Nice beach with shelter, changing rooms and bathrooms. Recent changes include: Lots of new sign posts to clarify and enlarge the pets-allowed area Campsite signposts getting signage (stickers) with QR code for online registration Future changes: Annual sticker valid for rolling 12 months instead of calendar year effective 1/1/2025 Checkout time earlier (1:00 pm) effective 1/1/2025 Out of state rates increasing 1/1/2025
