Jordan Park in Point is wonderful, BUT it is LOADED with poison ivy and I mean LOADED. There is ivy all along the shorelines where you would fish and it infests the sides of the trails across the road where one would like to get onto the rocks in the river. We had a cookout there last summer and I was a wreck making sure the kids did not get into the stuff and then rub all over me! The last thing I need is another round on steroids!
Lake Emily is beautiful; has a swimming beach, playground equipment, lodges, and fishing areas plus camping!

Lake DuBay is a bit farther north but with the same facilities....

Guys and gals of BYC.. please please listen...
ANY PLACE THAT IS A CAMPING PLACE> IS FILLED WITH CAMPERS, THEY ARE SOLD OUT BY THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, THERE IS NEVER HARDLY A SPACE AVAILABLE IN THE STATE OF WI FOR 1(ONE) TENT, LET ALONE A GROUP.
I only type this way because I have said it before and it doesn't seem to sink in.
Can anyone here tell of one time you were able to get a large group into a campground for 2 or more days? That wasn't on private land?
I hope and pray that isn't true, but it seems to be the norm these days.
If I have upset some one, I do apologize
