Description


We'll be backpack camping at Site #2 Friday and Saturday nights. It's about 0.9 miles from parking area and about 200' back from the Lake Michigan shoreline. See park map at http://www.dcty.com/newport/map.htm Fire ring, nearby pit toilet and half a dozen good tent sites. Plenty of downed trees for scavenging firewood. Water available inside at the ranger station during the day.

Self-register at the ranger station for camping when you pull in. You'll need a Wisconsin state park parking permit for which you can also self-register at the ranger station.

Cross-country skiing and/or snowshoeing Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Candlelight cross-country skiing Saturday night. Park service sets up about 2 miles of luminaries on groomed trail. Beach bonfire.

Novice winter campers welcome providing you have appropriate cold weather gear.
