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.

ADA/wheelchair-accessible restrooms and showers would be a great asset to this campground. Otherwise, it was a good place to spend a night. Some sites vary greatly by size - read the descriptions before booking.

Been quite a few years since I've been to this campground. Everything was as expected. Only thing is I wish they sold firewood on site.

Good site, it rained a lot the day before we go there so it was wet when we showed up, but it seemed to dry out well so no issues. Overall great time.

This was the 4th year my wife and I have camped here. We love it and with the installation of the electrical hookups makes it all the better. Excellent campground.

Overall the campgrounds are beautiful. Unfortunately while we were there the green tent worms were horrendous. They covered everything and were such a nuisance we had to cancel several outdoor activities.
The campsites are large and fairly level. Only some of the sites have usable standing grills and the fire pits do not have adjustable grates suitable for cooking on so you have to bring your device for cooking over the campfire.
The boat landing for the campgrounds is totally unusable for any trailered boat but only good for canoes or kayaks. I only saw one boat dock for the entire campground and only a few usable shoreline landings for the campsites.
There are two nice picnic areas and a big playground area with a slide for the kids, volley ball court (no net} and a horseshoe pit. There is a very nice fishing pier, but the water is so shallow it is over-run with weeds. The lake itself is quite shallow around the campground causing us to break a prop one day.
The roads between campsite areas are paved and very nice for bike riding. We did not attempt to ride the gravel trail with our new ebikes.
We really did enjoy our stay and plan on returning there again next year.
3 Stars out of 4 rating for sure.
