Kathy was amazing! We decided to take a chance and tent camp in late October. The site is very peaceful and she built firewood up for our first fire upon arrival. We left many things behind on the days we traveled to fish or hike with no worries. The river and woods are peaceful. Appreciate the water she leaves to clean hands and cookware! Look forward to returning and camping next year. Thank you Kathy and Randy!

Great site. Dog friendly. There is a real bathroom with plumbing and real showers. The firewood they have for sale burns for a long time.

Really lovely environment! The cottage is perfect for 3 of us + our dogs. A nice reprieve from tenting! Outdoor space is large with firepit, table and some chairs. Rob was attentive with communications and making sure all was good. We would stay here again!

Don’t let the entrance fool you - this site is on par with having a county park all to yourself. Solid and maintained amenities. Maybe cutest porta john in existence.

Weekend Trip to HTR Door County
Highly recommend! Super clean bathrooms, A Frame cabin was clean and comfortable with mini fridge and microwave. We loved that it was dog friendly with a little park for them to play in. Will definitely be back.

The view,the sauna,the coziness of the cabin was wonderful! Our dogs truly loved their off leash freedom(we picked up their poo as requested) We kayaked,had a few fires at the firepit. It was rustic but doable and we adapted and loved it!

I loved camping here for Labor Day Weekend!
If you are camping in Door county this is a good spot. Just make sure you have a thick blanket or camping mat for the ground. There are large mulch pieces.
It was very clean, pretty, and a great spot!

We went tent camping here with our 2 dogs and had a great time. Very clean facilities and nice amenities. Plus it's convenient to all the door county activities we had planned. One thing I would say would have made our stay a little better is if there were an additional bathroom on the other side of the site. We stayed in a site that was on the opposite end of the property from the bathrooms and it was kind of annoying having to walk that far if we needed to go in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning when you really gotta go. I think even a port-o-potty would have been good.

Yvonne’s campsite was wonderful! The bathrooms were clean the spot was spacious with a fire ring and picnic table, as well as the electric ports. We were able to buy plenty of wood for cheap for our campfires. We had a great time. We went fishing in the lake and even though we didn’t catch anything it was still cool even walking in the water and seeing how clear and beautiful it was. A great spot to stargaze at night. The owners were wonderful and seem to be passionate about using their time at Vagabond to give people wonderful memories.

Everything went well, I loved it, my Wife loved it and so did my daughter, she had so much fun on the playground, and the facility is immaculate. Clean clean clean. Big bonus, considering i have seen so many showers that were filthy. The owners absolutely care a out the people that come here and stay, that is the exact feeling my wife and I said to eachother. They think of many small and large details! They are still getting better and better and doing what they can to improve the site, what more can you ask for. 10/10 would recommend, in fact, i am going back up next weekend to stay again for a fishing trip with the boys!

My dogs and I had a fantastic stay car camping at this site. I spent most of my time paddleboarding in the river and I would highly recommend this site to folks who enjoy paddle sports. The water was clear with a muddy bottom. Feeding the fish was definitely a highlight! There was plenty of shade and grassy areas for me to exercise my dogs. I had no issues with bugs; not even mosquitoes. I didn't have to wear any bug repellant. There was no grill grate or tripod for cooking so keep that in mind. The site is a bit noisy, you can hear the nearby highway traffic, lawn mowing and train. I came on a Saturday and there were gunshots going off until dark (maybe a shooting range nearby?) But those are things the host can't change. I brought a white noise machine along and that helped a lot. Overall I had a fantastic time at this site and can't wait to come back.

Overview
About
Hang by the windy waters of Newport State Park. While there’s no official boat launch, nothing but your own perseverance is stopping you from taking out the canoe or kayak. It can get windy on the water, so I would leave the floppy hats at home! Explore the 30 miles of foot and bike trails, fish for a bit, and end the day with a picnic before you reluctantly head back to the real world. Winter brings trails for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and skate skiing, so don’t think you won’t be back once the weather takes a turn... for the better?
When to go
The best time to visit Newport State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the trails are accessible and the night skies are clear for stargazing. Winter can be harsh, with limited access and activities due to snow and ice.
Know before you go
- Ensure your vehicle has a valid admission sticker before entering the park.
- Check the property notices for any updates on closures or conditions.
- Prepare for limited amenities; pack essentials and leave no trash behind.
- Respect the park's hours, open from 6am to 11pm year-round.
- For stargazing, plan your visit around the new moon for the darkest skies.
