A 168-acre Racine County Park maintained primarily as a primitive group camping site. However, it is open to the public for hiking and cross-country skiing on a system of wide trails that run through a hardwood forest and across prairies on some of the finest glacial topography to be found in Racine County.

A rare example of a low-impact property that is intended to be left in a rustic state and accessible only on foot. It is used for year-round camping by scouting and other youth organizations, but other groups may also use the camp. Reservations must be made by calling the Racine County Parks at 262-886-8440. There are no individual camping accommodations. For more information about camping go to the Racine County website.

Identified by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology eBird.org program as a birding hotspot.
