Several flat sites, many pull are thru, a proper 30A pedestal at back-in site 43, easy trail-walk to Fayette Beach from site, newer & CLEAN bathrooms (flush toilets and new Kohler sinks!), private hot-water showers. Fayette is a beautiful UP State Park with well-mapped trails thru a forest of mature deciduous and conifer trees. The highlight being the outdoor “museum” of buildings and artifacts from the 1800s when Fayette was a thriving community of working families (many Europeans immigrated to build a new life here) that processed iron ore into ingots for America’s industrial manufacturing. Historic Fayette State Park has a visitor center. Courteous and informed (and available) State Park Rangers. Dump and Water available near Park Entrance. “Away from it all”, our 3 night stay delivered. No T-Mobile cellphone signal. The park’s available ($ n/c) wi-fi connected to my iPhone13, but not to our MacBook, nor to an iPhone 11.

Well away from I-43 and on the outskirts from small community of Two Rivers, Point Beach State Forest Campground is a gem. A friendly, hospitable Ranger, and the camphost appeared accessible. During our mid-May stay, sites were approximately 50% occupied during the week (T, W nights). Our site was within "hearing distance" of the waves of Lake Michigan. Sunny days, cool evenings (45 - 50 degrees), and night-time intermittent rain showers kept the pollen down as all the tree buds were opening. A primarily flat, easy to enjoy, bike trail within yards of our campsite allows you to ride atop the "Ridges" created by this Great Lake many moons ago. A Beautiful Beach (as it is located well away from Milwaukee). Clean restrooms. Level, graveled site. Decent picnic table and fire ring. Although a poor cellular connection, it was enough to allow SD streaming of an Cary Grant black & white, also we could stream Spotify and receive / send email - perfect for us.

Whispering conifers, site is up high overlooking the lake, pit toilets and potable water nearby (no threads on spicket), level site, peaceful evenings around the fire ring (with only one or two generators in the distance (6AM - 11PM). Within 30 minutes of Mt. Rushmore National Memorial. Roads can be considered narrow, but helps to slow folks down a bit. Pit toilets could have used a service, but everything was operational.
