This time of year the Ice Age & Northern Lights campgrounds are only open for overflow. After October 14th, they are closed for the season. Just something to keep in mind when reserving a campsite over the next couple months.
Oh, and IF you plan on camping at Devil’s Lake State Park be aware that October 3rd through the 5th the park is filled with over 3000 scouts! It’s great to have all the kids around, but it can be a crazy weekend for regular campers. You can expect long lines to register on Friday. The Badger Trails Youth weekend is not for everyone. However if you’re the relaxed type who enjoys having lots of kids around come on up! (With reservations of course)

Planning a 3 day, two night backpack from the trailhead on Marsh Rd., NW of Merrimac all the way around to the end of the trail at Parfreys Glen State Natural area. Would like to camp the first night at the group camp area off the South Lake Rd. and the second night at one of the campgrounds on the north end of the lake. Dates are October 27 and 28. Would appreciate any advice.
Thank You.
My girls can’t wait! We like to sit at our campsite in the morning and watch the boys race down to the lake to hike both bluffs. Then we take our time hiking 1, and go back to our site for a nice dinner and back for the dance. Then on Sunday, we sip coffee and hot chocolate while watching the boys race to see who will leave the campground first.
All in all, it is a lot of fun and we love every minute!
Hi Dave, Definatly call the park and talk to staff about your plans. It’s always a good idea to get reservations. Parfrey’s Glen is still closed (so you can’t get to that connector). And I’m not sure you can get access to group camps unless you are an “official” group. Anyway, it’s a good idea to call in.
Sounds like a great time Sandy! Glad you take your time. So many people just rush up and down and around all weekend that I think they miss why the area was turned into a park in the first place!
