My favorite part was the sweet little Creek that runs from the lake through the campground. The kids played in the Creek while we would BBQ dinner each night. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! We will certainly be going back!

The sites are super tiny and not at all private. We came during the week in June, so it wasn't super packed and we had empty sites on either side of us. If it had been busier our experience would have been much different. We're spoiled by the private campgrounds that we visited in Door County. This one is very much not that. However, everyone was nice and we were fortunate enough to have had a decent enough time.

An update to my first posting. Holiday weekend and close of…read moresummer. Got that. Lots of family activities which are nice. We are quite taken back on how camping has changed over the years. MUCH more crowded MUCH closer to neighbors MUCH more expensive MUCH to many large trees with canopies that shade the sites AND provide ample amounts of tree sap on everything. WAY to many people making way to much noise without regard for neighbors. WAY to many people on a site. Rarely did anyone express a "hello" or any common civility. Camping sure isn't what it used to be..!

DO NOT rent the campers they have for rentals. They are disgusting. Dirty, smelly, broken blinds,…read morebroken screens on the windows. You couldn't even sit in it for fear of what you may be sitting on. The outside of the camper was just as disgusting. I guess it never occurred to the campground owners to power wash it. I spent at least two hours cleaning and disinfecting the camper that we were told was new. Lies. If I was on this trip alone, I would have left immediately. Reluctantly I paid my bill - almost $200 a night! I still feel like disputing with my charge card company because we were lied to and taken advantage of. Not sure how they live with themselves renting this camper to people. When I went to the office to complain, they had the nerve to tell me it was cleaned. I am not an idiot.

New owners took over so we gave the campground another chance. Rented a pontoon boat for half the day but wasn't able to get on it until an hour after our time because "there wasn't someone certified to bring the boat around for check in" never received an hour extended on to our time to make up for the hour lost. Rented it out the next day and when we turned it back in they said there was a bunch of stuff damaged to it but there wasn't. They showed me a small rubbed mark on a cushion that I never noticed and no one was even in that area of the boat. They said the whole cushion would need to be replaced but after arguing about it they settled on me just paying them 80 dollars. We had no intentions of ever returning but this year a family member wanted to use our boat for when they camped there so we drove there to drop it off and spend the day. They rented a dock but still had to pay a boat launching fee which is crazy because if you use a dock, of course you have to launch your boat. They used the floating docks and there was no tie offs to tie the boat to so they had to use the poles of the dock. This campground is money hungry!! Was with the old owners and still is with the new owners. This review is from the summer of 2023 which involves the new owners and not the old owner (Heather)

With the new ownership of this campground, they appear to be going above and beyond to be sure their campground is updated. We chose this campground in 2015 and are so pleased that we did. The host is easy to work with but assures that all the campers are treated well and the owner continues to improve the campground. We love having the entire Chain O'Lakes at our disposal. The golf course is just down the road, so when we have guests they an golf also. Several of their docks are new and improved. Also, having the Tiki Bar so close offers food and a fun place to hang out if you just need something different. It was absolutely the right choice for us.

Absolutely terrible experience! My family reserved a campsite for Labor Day weekend, but we had to…read morecancel and contacted the campground at the beginning of July--well over a month in advance. We completely understand the no-refund policy if the site were to remain vacant, but that is not what happened. They re-rented our site to another family and still refused to refund us a single penny. In other words, they collected over $300 from us AND another $300 from the next family for the exact same site and dates. This is nothing short of dishonest and greedy. I could have accepted losing my money if the spot went unused, but profiting twice off the same campsite is unethical and unfair. I will NEVER visit this campground again and will warn everyone I know to avoid it.

It is 95% seasonals including many mobile homes. Owners are never around and seldom is anyone in or at the office. Upon checking out, they never asked how our stay was. The sites are all sand like a beach. In fact, there was more sand at our sites than at the beach which is very small. The lake is cute but when you're in the north woods, that's not hard to find. The shoreline (grass area) hasn't been mowed in weeks. The bathroom was disgusting- moldy and mildewy with mice and all. Yet you have to pay for showers? We showered in our camper and avoided the bathroom. Never once did we see anyone come clean it either. Quiet hour- no such thing here. People get loud after 10 and nobody cares.
