Reasonably priced, pretty wooded campground right along Lake Michigan is definitely a hidden gem. Campsites fill quickly and they are 100% reservable now, so get your name in quickly. Campsites are huge! There's no underbrush between sites, so there's little privacy--but also few bugs, and lots of room.

Checked in this past Saturday morning, and drove up to this site #359. Terrible. Guy at the Front Gate said they were Full (NUMEROUS empty sites around us during the entire time we were there), and our only choices were to Stay or Leave (No Refund), complete JERK. We made the most of it. Couldn't do a Fire (also food cooking source) , because our pit was in the middle of the swamp. I had to plug in our electricity in shin deep water. Can't be Safe. Beach and Water are ROCKY. Bring your water shoes to walk into the Lake.

It's been years since we had stayed here, and I thought it was awesome then but we just recently stayed and it's even More Amazing! They completely upgraded the Beach, and the maintenance guys do a great job at keeping up with everything. Oh, and the security at night, "John" amd his partner, definitely made us feel safe, We will be back lots this summer🤞😊

First time trying tent camping. We had a good time here. It was nice to have easy access to the beach, electric hook up, water nearby and also a hot shower. Make sure to bring a long outdoor extension cord.

I love visiting here and make a point to at least once a summer. There's convenient access to water, clean bathrooms with showers, and power on the lots. It's a hour from the city and close enough to Kenosha for a cheeky cheese castle run. You're close enough to the lake you can hear it be quietly majestic at night- but it can also be a little colder than you expect. The dunes are a real highlight, as is the dense bird population. If you're STILL not swayed, it's a quick easy walk to town if you'd rather get culvers than cook.
