Summary
Reservations are not required—first come, first served—with a small nightly fee. Amenities include pit toilets, drinking water, fire rings, picnic tables, and a boat landing; there are no RV hookups, but RVs are welcome. The peaceful lakeside setting is ideal for fishing, paddling, and wildlife watching. Trails and ATV routes are nearby, and the park is close to the Ice Age Trail. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall for mild weather and full access to outdoor activities.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
