Dalrymple Park and Campground

What sets Dalrymple Park and Campground apart is its stunning waterfront location, offering heavily wooded campsites with views of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands, all within a mile of charming downtown Bayfield. This city-managed campground combines rustic simplicity with easy access to natural beauty and local attractions, making it an excellent choice for campers seeking tranquility and convenience.

The 30 campsites are designed for both tents and smaller RVs (under 30 feet), ensuring a peaceful and intimate setting. Electric hookups and potable water are available, but facilities remain simple, with vaulted toilets and no showers onsite—though showers can be accessed for a fee at the Bayfield Recreation Facility nearby. With fire pits, picnic tables, and ample tree cover, the campground provides both comfort and privacy. Its first-come, first-serve policy encourages spontaneity, catering well to day trippers, weekend explorers, or longer stays.

Situated just off Highway 13, this campground is a prime base for exploring Bayfield’s quaint shops, restaurants, and the nearby ferry access to the Apostle Islands. The lakeside setting is perfect for taking in sweeping views, whether hiking the short trails at the park or relaxing at your campsite. With its blend of natural beauty and proximity to local culture, Dalrymple Park and Campground is a hidden gem for those seeking an authentic Lake Superior experience.
