One of “the dyrt”s Best Places to Camp in the Midwest!

This is an excerpt of a post originally appearing at “the dyrt”

Wagon Trail Campground – Ellison Bay, Wisconsin

What makes it great:

Wagon Trail Campground is in northern Door County, which is the easternmost tip of Wisconsin that juts into Lake Michigan, and is nicknamed the “Cape Cod of the Midwest.” The land borders the Mink River Estuary State Natural Area, and its wooded sites offer a feeling of unmatched seclusion and privacy.

This tranquil destination was established in 1971 and the name is derived from the logging roads that ran through the property. There are 145 campsites spread out across 80 acres, and Wagon Trail offers cabins, yurts and travel trailers. It also provides deluxe, temperature controlled restroom facilities with free showers. All bathrooms have been recently renovated.

What The Dyrt’s community of campers has to say:

“The best campground I’ve been to to date! The bathrooms are AMAZING compared to others, everything is new and well maintained. There’s a park, game room, adult lounge, amazing trails and all breeds of dogs are welcomed! They have a dish-washing area by the bathrooms and they make sure soap and cleaning supplies are there to use. We tent camped the first night but then a yurt came up and we snagged that for the next 2 nights with the kiddos. It’s fall so it’s wet out but the beauty of the surrounding area is something to enjoy while not at camp.” — Ashley N

“I have nothing but nice things to say about this campground. The sites, facilities and management are outstanding. Big sites with plenty of privacy. Fellow campers were very courteous of each other.” — John B
