Spent 4 days here with my family from Australia. Beautiful location. Quiet. But close enough to the bay to have fun on the water. Bathrooms n laundry 24 hours.
Ashley Pollock
Nice park with lots of kids for ours to make friends with. There are a lot of really nice sites. Although there could be better signage and directions through the campground.

The grounds are well maintained. Very secluded. Some of the facilities need some updating. My only complaint, if you could even call it that, is that they don't stock beer or coffee at the ranger station. If you want to relax and not be bothered, this is a great spot.
Renee Weiland
Very spotty internet. Very little for the kids to do other than the pool. Park is very dated. The water was not drinkable because it tasted terrible and had a strong smell. The few kids activities were only at a certain time and day. Stayed 4 nights but left the park each day because ther was nothing for the kids.

We just spent the 4th of July weekend in Jellystone Sturgeon Bay! It was our 1st time at this location. We have 2 young kids. It was so much fun for them. We spent the hot weekend in the 3 pools they have. The kids made friends. Our 5 year old made a hole in one at mini golf. They are dog friendly as well. We had an great campsite on the circle, right next to the big field. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were nice. The general store and goodie shop has everything you need. Activities and train rides all though out the day. We definitely would recommend this place for families. We also went down the street to the state park, for hiking.
