Scenic primitive camping.
Primitive by choice. No trailer-park rows. Forest, meadows, ledges, and water — find the spot that fits.
The kind of campground we wanted to run.
There is a variety of individual campsites that cater to personal preference. Whether it's on a ledge by the water or deep in the woods, you can camp near the social activity or settle in one of the quiet, isolated areas.
We pride ourselves on being a primitive campground to avoid the trailer/RV look of our competitors. Campers and Winnebagos are welcome for a few days, but long stays aren't encouraged, and there are no water or electrical hookups for campers or RVs. Small, quiet generators are allowed.
750+ primitive sites. 60 RV spots. Two fishing lakes.
Pick your spot.
Three general flavors. Rates are the same — the difference is the view and the mood.
Forest & Meadow Sites
Fire ring, picnic table nearby, shared water spigots throughout. Quiet, tree-covered, tucked off the trails. The park's default.
$25–$30 per night
Quarry-Edge Sites
Primitive sites right on the quarry rim. Wake up looking at the water. Limited number — claim early, same price as forest sites.
$25–$30 per night
RV & Pop-Up Section
60 sites in a designated area with a dump station. Some have electricity (first-come-first-serve). No water hookups.
$50–$100 festival weekend
House rules.
Non-festival nights: gate closes 2 AM to 8 AM. You can't re-enter during that window. Quiet hours are 11 PM to 7 AM campground-wide (Portage County noise ordinance).
Fires: in the ring only. Seasoned wood only, stacked no higher than 2 feet, no wider than 3. No treated wood, garbage, or plastic. We sell firewood at $25 per wheelbarrow load.
Parking: two vehicles per site depending on space. Don't block roads or encroach on your neighbors. Max 3 tents per site, 5 feet apart, 10 feet from the fire (state law, checked regularly).
Camping age: you must be 18+ to camp, or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with custody papers + photo ID. Day swimming has no such restriction.
Two lakes, one quarry.
Fishing is allowed in our two fishing lakes — not the swim quarry (state law). Bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish are common. Waterfowl, turtles, frogs, and non-venomous snakes round out the wildlife you might encounter.
Book a site for the weekend.
Non-festival camping is walk-up — just show up and pay at entry. Festival weekends, lock it in through our ticketing store.
