This is a lovely park, and since my last visit they have rebuilt the access to the beach that is near the parking lot. They've also added a blue mat that makes it easy to walk along the beach between entrance 1 and 2. The beach is beautiful and a great place to look for fossils. After climbing back up to the trail at the second access point a park employee alerted us to the presence of orange slime mold on some stumps. Apparently it is a rare phenomenon and the bright orange goop is actually a collection of harmless amoebas. I learn something on every vacation! We hiked the loop and then continued on the new connection to Cave Point Country Park which made for a really nice half day hike!

I'm adding an update since it's been 4 years since my last review of this park, but please also see…read moremy 2 earlier reviews. They have completely rebuilt the fire tower adding an accessible ramp. While we are able to climb stairs, we enjoyed the ramp a great deal. I'm not a huge fan of open stairs and found this wide ramp that is intended for both wheelchair users and walkers to be a very pleasant way to reach the viewing platform and return to ground level. The view from the top is amazing on a clear day. We also walked part of the sunset bike trail as an out and back which was lovely. We started at the beach, headed toward the lighthouse and continued on to the bluffs/cliffs before turning around. It was about 6 miles round trip and had lots of wildflowers and beaches along the way. This is a great trail for anyone who doesn't want to navigate a lot of tree roots or rocks. Other updates: The lighthouse is being refurbished and is scheduled to reopen later in June 2026. There are now food trucks near the beach if you don't feel like bringing a picnic lunch!

But you are not going to Washington Island to be fancy; stay at home to wear your Channel and frolic in satin sheets. You are warned. The double room is rather on the small side but has a bed, a sofa, a few lamps, a TV/DVD set and an attached bathroom. The bed is TINY and squeaky - so be prepared for a bed night of sleep or just send your significant other on the sofa in the middle of the night (works best for couples over 2 years). But what sold me on the place is the free bikes available to all guests. There are plenty of them, and you can even used tandems if it strikes your fancy (I tried and didn't like it AT ALL but who knows?!?). Very nice to go all around the island. Don't miss it. Several grills, chaise chairs and a fire pit and also there for your comfort. Take advantage of it. A solid option on the other side of the Death's Door.

My first Door County experience included driving up the peninsula to the car ferry (with a couple…read moreof stops on the way), and onto Washington Island for a weekend of camping and sightseeing. I believe Washington Island Campground is THE ONLY camping on the island. The island has an "old timey" feel to it where everyone waves as you drive by and is very kind to tourists from what we experienced. As one lady we spoke to put it "They are so nice it's almost creepy". But onto the campground itself...it's not right there once you get off the ferry, maybe a couple of miles away. Fairly easy to find if you use the map they provide at the ferry station. I have not been to a campground in a long time but this one seemed fairly comparable to most I've been to. They have RV/trailer camping, horse camping, tent (electric or non) and cute little cabins you can rent. The grounds have a main office that sells wood for $6 a bunch (tip: you can probably name your own price if you buy more than one) and other small items but it's not a huge selection or anything. Besides, you're camping right?! They also have an inside lounge type area with a TV, pinball and other games, a pool table and an ATM. This would be good if you were waiting for someone to shower or it ended up raining, but we never had a use for it. Onto the showers...they are pretty clean and they are the type where you pop in a quarter and 6ish minutes later you have to add it again. BUT... you do get the quarter back so it's a free shower. The showers and flush able toilets are connected to the main building, but there is one other set of pit toilets on the other side of the grounds. If you have a site further away you may want to drive if you need the flushing toilets. The campsites were okay, some are better than others. We camped in the non-electric tent side and because it was before the busy time hits on July 4th we had pick of the sites which was cool. We were literally the only ones there for two nights, aside from random RVs and horse campers. And please note, sites near the horses can hear the horses in the morning hours lol. Site #20 is a popular one and would be good for two tents and cars, but it had less grass than we wanted. Bug wise we had no ticks and we didn't really have an issue in late June with mosquitos or anything else. We saw lots of interesting bugs/wildlife on the island such as a tree frog that sat on our chair for two hours near the fire, a lot of tadpoles in the campground man-made pond, a snake in the road and bald eagles. Just a really nice weekend overall. I would camp here again for sure, but would also consider renting one of the cabins. Our only true complaint was this: the people who run the office are very nice and were very accommodating. However, they keep their dog tied up 24 hours a day outside of the office and that just bothers me a lot. One of the times we had to give him water because he was out and no one was around. I feel like he is a bit neglected being tied to a 5' rope all of time and that alone might prevent me from camping there again. I should also mention, they have their own black horse on the property with an electric fence around it. I guess most people know what an electric fence looks like (including my boyfriend who accidentally touched it and got shocked but was ok after his bad headache passed) but I think they need to have a sign on it so small children and those who do not know are warned. That's it. It's a nice campground and I would more than likely return sometime.

We ordered cheese curds which were actually really good. We all agreed that we'd come back just for the curds. My kids had a chicken tender basket. Pretty standard. I had the whitefish fill sandwich.
