This is a large electric site with a short path to the lakeshore. The restroom is nearby. Showers cost $1. A vending machine takes coins or bills and delivers shower tokens. Shower was nice and hot. Water faucet is near rest rooms.

Thete is a small beach, but when we were there, the water was muddy and full of algae, so we didn't swim. There are also a lot of Chinese mystery snails, so we washed out kayaks before using them anywhere else.

We enjoyed several hiking trails nearby, especially the Ice Age Trail. We drove to Mondeau Dam one day, and we went to Gilman, where we found basic groceries and good sandwiches at the diner.

Just a couple of miles from the campground, there's a bar that sells ice and has decent food.

All in all, this was a great place to spend a few laid back days.

The sites are nice and long and private. Lots of shade and quiet atmosphere. I was on a lake access site #43. I was able to put my kayak in the water here, but it was a bit difficult. The access to the water was very small and narrow, surrounded by tall grass and uneven ground.
Overall, this was a great campground to be at to get away from it all. Thank you!

Beaches and piers were poorly maintained. The water was filled with blue algae. Rusted bars/trash was scattered in the park, along with broken glass. Showers were outdated and needed maintenance. There was no posting for the cost of shower tokens. This was a terrible experience and such a disappointment.
