Door County- Peninsula State Park
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 11:13 am
We set out last Wednesday morning for Peninsula State Park. We were able to get 2 sites somewhat last minute, of course, Labor Day weekend was booked solid.
It's about 250 miles to the park and we had an uneventful drive up.
Park was fairly quiet when we arrived.
Our first site in the Welcker's campground. This campground is shady and quieter than the others.
Pancakes!
Our 2nd site was in the Nicolet campground and was a waterfront site.
Nicolet is a bit busier, but still very quiet and the water is just steps away.
Trail leading to site from water
Went into Fish Creek for dinner out.
We could have tried for one of the few non-reservable sites for the weekend, but we decided to stay at my uncle's cabin in Ephraim.
Wish we could have camped a bit longer. The weather was fantastic. We made great time on the way home only stopping once. On our final leg home from I94 to our home we had a brake issue with the driver's rear locking up. I still haven't been able to look it over, but probably the hose. I have replacements on hand so that will be my next project.
