Wife and I, plus our two dogs went there to cool off from the hot weather. The water looks beautiful and even though the weather was in the upper 80s, the water is still cold and refreshing! If you are lucky, you can get a parking spot at the ranger station parking lot, otherwise you have to park in a separate parking lot down the road and walk back. Even if you get the parking spot at ranger station parking lot, it is still a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the beach. Warning for your feet and dogs paws, on a hot day the sand is very hot. There was a lot of dogs, all were friendly with friendly people. Recommended visiting with your dogs.

One of my favorite state parks to bring the dogs! Amazing and huge dog beach. Campsites are nice and the concession stand has the best ice cream!

We camped one night here and loved it. Our spot was just across the dunes fromthe beach. The beach was clean sand and beautiful. Our favorite part was the weekend breakfast at the store.

Didn't get to check out the Ice Age, but initial impression was weak on trails, high on bugs (lots of standing water naturally in swales), and campsites are tightly packed. Maybe 3 sites along the main road would be worth the drive (only private sites). Beach is beautiful, and the main building is quite nice with food, supplies, and gifts. Lighthouse was best feature, but as private, off limits to visitors.

They have electric hook ups. Go to Wisconsin state parks website for cost. You'll have park entry and site. Annual passes are well worth the cost.

How much to camp

Gallenberger Cleaning | Sep 9, 2021
Lisa Scheunert | Sep 10, 2021

I am not sure. I apologize. Best bet is to look it up online or call them directly. It is a state park so I am assuming it is as any other state run campground. It is a really cool place. Lots of trees, beaches. Beautiful.

Can someone please suggest a secluded campsite? Non-electric or electric, it doesn't matter.

Mike M | May 7, 2020
Mary Revers | May 8, 2020

Most site there are secluded. Look at map of campsites. 😎

Ice Age and Kayak campsites. How do you go about securing one of these sites? Do you have to wait for the person to leave on the day you want to use one? Do you call the office first thing in the morning? Stop into the office?

Mike M | May 7, 2020
Cindy Fowler | May 8, 2020

You need to go to the Point Beach state park site and check it out. I never heard about the sites you are asking about, but there could be. Sites are reserved on Reserve America. Point Beach does have a few non reserve sites, but you need to go there to see when they are are going to be open and come early on that day to register. I am sorry I can not be more helpful, my brother in law makes all the reservations. This is a beautiful park and my favorite of all the state parks.

You can't camp right down on the sand and beach. The sites are in the woods right after the beach area ends. Depending on your tent site or if you're in one of the cabins, you might be 150 feet from the beach.
