Picturesque lake, clean facilities, paths were in good shape here early in the season, not too muddy and the downed branches were easy to move. The waterfowl were awesome, swans, coots, geese, ducks, and four pelicans. Cranes, hawks flying overhead, too. The lake was already turbid and growing mats of algae, so that's disheartening. Better view without leaves and no bugs today late in our snowy April.

I went solo-camping here in October. I liked the trails and the office people were very nice. The lake is beautiful - I basically had it all to myself so that was nice! There is a little restaurant at the far edge of the campground. Just past that is a dam - beautiful view of the sunset.

It's a beautiful park. If you're camping in the tent section where you have to park and walk to your spot, it can be quite a walk to anything past the second site in, so I recommend either packing light, or bringing a cart or something to help you carry your supplies. My husband and I packed a lot of heavy things and were at the very last spot and we were dying by the end of unloading the car

Very nice place but don't get site #96 or the ones immediately arounding it until they've done some work. Just finished my first trip tent camping here, first weekend of October. Friends & I arrived separately late Friday night amid a cold thunderstorm (only chance we had to camp together, had to take it even though we knew the weather was going to suck). We got our tents up but my car ended up stuck. The site itself was strangely laid out: parking for 2 cars (not 3 as we thought, even though 3 fit easily) right along the higher road, with a short kinda narrow staircase of cut rail ties down a muddy slope, to the wider site itself (if viewed from above, looks like an hourglass). The site continued to be quite sloped and uneven, only the back-most portion was actually flat and that was the lowest point, and so packed it was difficult to place tent stakes, also a fair amount of that space was occupied by the fire pit, which was actually set too deep in the ground, couldn't feel any heat unless you were the 1person trying to tend the flames, which was also difficult given the angle of approach. Ranger on rounds told us about a guest parking lot and when I said I couldn't get traction on the wet grass at that slope, a bunch of other campers came to help push my car up the hill and back on to the road! Thanks again everybody! PLENTY of other sites looked IDEAL/Perfect for both tents & RVs.Overall site #96 was OK and we didn't have any further issues with it, in fact the large tree in the middle was perfect for tethering the dogs where they could still interact with everyone. Main bathroom facility was large & well lit, closed from 12:45-2pm daily for cleaning, but the showers had hot water (around midnight on Saturday anyway, thank goodness) and were very spacious w/hooks and a bench well away from the wet stall itself. Lots of friendly dogs on leashes, and of course booze allowed on site. Large bundles of firewood $5, numerous short (1-3 mile) trails to hike. Didn't touch the water, too cold in October and we had no water craft/gear, though the Lake looked lovely. I think there may be a firing range nearby because there were frequent gunshots in the distance, too often and varied to be people hunting, which got annoying a few times. I'm under the impression it's open year-round (including tents) which presents some interesting opportunities. Didn't speak to much staff other than the Registration lady and that one Ranger. Would definitely camp again!

This is one of those state parks that is a hidden treasure. Great hiking trails, beautiful lake and no mosquitoes. You'll know why when you see the bat houses!

We hiked the trails on the east side and had a good time. A couple decent hills, but nothing to challenging. Mostly wooded trails.

One of the best camp grounds I have been to. Close to a few small rural towns to get local produce to cook. Hiking, fishing, sites are very well maintained. Only small down side would be the vault toilets need to be cleaned up and it would be great if they had a ranger that walked around at night as a few sites did not maintain good camping noise courtesy late at night.

Nice park, good trails, beach, lots of boating and kayaking, campsites look pretty private. I have been to 15-20 Wisconsin State Park and this seems like the most forgotten and neglected I have seen. Staff in the park office were friendly. They do not sell park patches (my son collects them from each state park we go to). There is one building of flush toilets and the rest are pit toilets that are very old. Also, the pit toilets at the beach were very very full. Sand at beach is full of clay or some kind of sediment. Makes it fun to build in the sand, but wash your suits after your visit. Lake is quiet, no houses on the lake that I could see. Definitely worth a visit.

Very spacious composites with big trees that offer privacy and shade. Not too crowded. The showers and restroom are nice and cleaned daily. Nice lake.

We spend a fair amount of time here because it's close to home. Fishing from shore is OK (when it's busy, it's hard to find a place). Beach is relatively clean and free of goose droppings. Amenities are standard WI state park. Interesting to note the bat boxes up all over this park.

Gem of a state park out in the country. Large lake (reservoir) with boat rentals and fishing, great hiking and more.

Had a great time and was able to do pretty well ice fishing. Really had to sort through the small fish but we were able to keep quite a few nice ones. I will go back next year for ice fishing again. I wish you didn't have to drive clear to the other side of the part to get a day pass though but that is a minor complaint.
