We really enjoy camping in Peninsula State Park because there are so many activities available within the park and because of its central location in Door County. In the park you can hike, bike, paddle, swim, and more. There is even a golf course and an outdoor theater inside the park. To read more about activities within the park, visit the Peninsula State Park page here.
We have both tent camped and RV camped at Peninsula State Park. We like that most of the sites are spaced apart, which creates a little more privacy. Most of the campsites are also nicely tucked into the trees, giving a more natural feel. This could be tricky if you’re camping in a site without hookups and relying on solar power.
Note that a park pass is required to camp inside the park. You can either purchase a daily pass for each day you will be spending in the park or purchase an annual pass to cover your entire stay. We found it was most cost-effective to purchase an annual pass for our stay.
The Park’s 5 Campgrounds
The park is so large, it has five campgrounds. We’ve camped in two of them: Welcker’s Point and South Nicolet Bay. Each had its own unique benefits. I liked the location of Welcker’s Point. Right across the street from the campground was a great open area to watch the sunset over Green Bay. However, this campground has no hookups and it is at the very tip of the park, so it takes the longest to get to this campground from outside the park.
South Nicolet Bay was right next to some of our favorite trails, which meant we didn’t have to drive to the trailhead. It was also walking distance from the beach, which had free WiFi available at a pavilion. This was helpful because cell service was very spotty inside the park. This campground also had some water-front campsites. However, this campground is tucked in a bay on the north side of the park, which means there is not a great view of the sunset over the water.
