Very nice county Park. We camped here for one night while we were traveling from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Clean, well kept restrooms and shower facilities too. There is fuel and restaurants nearby for your convenience. The park is near a rather busy road, but the traffic noise was minimal after the evening workday rush. All in all, a very nice park & campground.

Not the out in the woods feel. Here’s a county park that has been developed around over time but still a very nice clean RV park. The gravel pads are level (although somewhat short) with 30 amp service. What this park does is provide a great way to access the Madison chain of lakes.

Here’s a county park that has been developed around over time but still a very nice clean RV park. The gravel pads are level (although somewhat short) with 30 amp service. What this park does is provide a great way to access the Madison chain of lakes. A boat launch is within walking distance and the RV park provides dock space to a limited number of sites (no electricity available at dock). A supper club, diner, Culver’s, and gas station that sells live bait (including large suckers) are just across the street but the sound of traffic never stops.

Babcock has great employees that are very helpful. The Host, Karen is super friendly and helpful. She is always around but gives you your space. The only downfall is it's right next to Highway 51 so you hear traffic all day and night. On the plus side you are on the outskirts of town so if you need something you can walk and get it. I love this park! There is a playground and the restrooms are clo... Babcock has great employees that are very helpful. The Host, Karen is super friendly and helpful.

On the plus side you are on the outskirts of town so if you need something you can walk and get it. I love this park! There is a playground and the restrooms are close to the campground with restrooms and showers and changing room. Everyone brought there dogs and one couple had their cat. On the other side of the restroom is a part of the lake where you can go fishing and boating. They have their resident geese about 6 that are there daily.
