Peninsula State Park

Peninsula State Park, established in 1909, is a 3,776-acre state treasure on Wisconsin's Door County peninsula.

Rocky bluffs ascend over 150 feet while deer graze contentedly in abandoned farm fields. Considered Wisconsin's most complete park, Peninsula is also its most popular camping destination, with 468 campsites.

The park's mission is to protect the natural and scenic resources of the park and to provide compatible forms of outdoor recreation and education.
