A nice quiet campground with clean facilities. We stayed at site 16, which is wheelchair accessible. The site has an asphalt path to an accessible bathroom with a shower that we were given a key to. The asphalt pad in the site was in good shape, but our BAL leveler needed to be almost fully extended. The path to the bathroom needs to be repaved.

The site was more than large enough to accommodate our Jayco 1007 pop-up and the fire ring was a safe distance away. There was also plenty of foliage to make our site feel fairly private.

The park has an asphalt path to Stephens Falls and an overlook for people who can't climb down the stone steps to the base of the waterfall.

Great campsites in a huge park! Many trails, lakes, forest and savannas to occupy you. Many electric hookups. Wisconsin requires a State Permit in addition to daily fees.

The Lost Canyon Trail is a must see. Stephens' Falls and the spring houses are great photo opportunities. The backpacking sites available in the park are secluded and very private, just remember to bring lots of insect repellent/mosquito nets.

We grew up going here every summer. Sites are more private than they used to be, although weekends in the summer are packed! Must book a year out to ensure an electric site. Stevens Falls is a beautiful hike, even with a 2&4 year old in tow! Multiple beaches, some very full of goose poop, but so many great trails to hike!

My favorite time to visit is in Mid-May when the leaves are G R E E N and the bugs are minimal. Plus the crowds are typically smaller at this extremely busy park.
