Amazing campground. Very similar feel to pennisla state Park. Si close to lake Geneva to enjoy shopy, the lake, and good eating too.

This campground is nice. I honestly don't know what the comments about the low branches and narrow roads are about. I have seen much more narrow roads at private campgrounds. I have a large truck camper, it is 12.5 feet tall and did not have any issues with branches. The only thing I see as a problem is they only gravel about the first 25 feet of the site and if it is raining the rest is mud or grass if you are lucky.

Very clean park and campsites are large, separated by just enough trees and or foliage that each campsite had a bit if "privacy". Only electric hookup, but for most campers, that's all you need. Showers are large and clean. Close to a ton of restaurants if you feel the urge for some night life. Definitely plan to camp here again.

Out of state visitors pay $11 per day in this spot. The parking area is huge, but the bathing one is extremely limited. It called my attention that half dozen people took their dogs to "take a bath" at the same time as families had kids in the water area of the beach. Hopefully, no fleas from those dogs for anyone. The lady that charged for parking stated that the printed receipt that should be on the window would allow to be in the area for the whole day. After family beach time we deepen into the "state park", and it was a complete joke and shame on the park management. Why?? Well for starters in a covered area close to a kids playground there was a birthday party going on. Private party. 100 feet north about 20 teenagers had the completed area seized playing all over. We continued driving to learn that everything else is compartmentalized areas for RV's or parking spots with a barbecue spot. It all was available for another fee. There are tens of high quality restaurants and hotels in the area, that will save you from the nightmare, will offer high quality food, and if you just go for a few hours, I'm positive they will have no problem allowing you to stay in the parking for a short trip to the beach area. In a nutshell, the "Beach" from the state park thumbs up. The parking area with options for family lunch....it was a complete scam in our experience.
