This past summer my college roommate and I spent a few days hammock camping on Rock Island. We backpacked to the far side of the island and enjoyed viewing the Perseid meteor shower along with the bright and beautiful Milky Way. I highly recommend this Park!

Weekend Trip to Village Inn On The Lake RV Park

We really liked being able to use the pool, hot tub and mini-golf as an RV camper. We want to make plans for a family camping event next year with some staying in campers and some at the hotel.

Weekend Trip to Village Inn On The Lake RV Park

We had a very nice stay. Google Maps brought us to the wrong entrance but we easily pulled back on the road to go over to the correct entrance. Utilities all worked well. We also used the laundry facilities which were nice and clean. Excellent access to the path by the lake.

A great gateway to Door County, Wisconsin! A cool and quiet place to relax after a busy day of exploring the sights, shops, and flavors of Door County. Having it all to yourself is a plus. This was a good introduction to HipCamp for us.

Easy setup— pulled in and got to camping. Owner is a cool guy. Came out to chat the next morning. His dog was super tolerant of mine even though mine was a little annoying. Had the place all to ourselves. Water and electric hookup were nearby. Excellent view of the stars out there.

Weekend Trip to County D(ope)

My boyfriend, our dog and I loved this place! The grass is super green, which we absolutely loved, and it definitely feels very private. We LOVED watching the starry sky and catching shooting stars from this spot. Tyler is super kind, helpful, and always willing to assist. 100% recommended if you’re looking for something more private, yet still connected to nature and peace. Thank you, Tyler, for letting us camp on your land. – Cristina, Conner and Howard.
