First let me say that after we got parked and leveled, this park was fine. There is a big field of grass on a rolling hill around which the sites are spaced. The field, along with the playground in it, got a lot of attention from the kids. Our site (#2) was just level enough for our jacks to compensate for. Utilities were fine and the park’s location was very convenient. My mistake was taking the word of the manager that we would have no problem putting our 45” motorhome on the site and not walking to it first. I seriously scratched the side of our rig trying to thread our way between two trees on a sharp turn that was on a steep hill. A unit our size and height simply would not fit without rubbing both sides. I wish that the people who are so blasé about saying “You’ll have no problem” would actually try driving a big-rig in their parks sometime. In short, if you have a smaller RV, you will probably like the park. If you have a big one, don't drive to your site without walking the road (preferably with a tree-trimmer) first! Credit cards are not accepted. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We didn't find the staff as friendly as the previous reviewer, however they were not unpleasant. Roads are very narrow for larger motorhomes, especially that first right turn down the hill when entering the campground. We camped up on the hill facing the lake, which was a great view. Coin operated showers were a negative. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are wonderful hosts. This is a great campground, close to everything in Bayfield including the Apostle Islands, Madeline Island, and the orchards for berry picking. I was only going to stay a night but liked this campground and the hosts so much I decided to stay a few extra nights. The WiFi internet is great, got it with my laptop in my trailer and the electric and water worked great. The showers and bathrooms are nice and clean and the campground is very quiet and safe. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent one night here and were rather disappointed. We had checked the reviews on this place so thought we would get more for our money! Well, that did not happen. We paid for the full hook ups (they are the only park in the area with full hookups). Their so called 'lake view sites' are an additional $8 per night! Maybe 3-4 sites. And there isn't much of a view at that. The spaces are ok, level and offer some privacy in some. The office does not open until after 9 am and closed promptly at 6 pm. We told that very sternly up on our arrival (we arrived a little before 9 am) You are not allowed to put out a mat of any sort and should you have visitors, they have to pay $3 each!!!! The restroom were very cool! The toilet areas are exposed to the wind and cold with only a metal roof. The showers do have outside doors and were very clean, but cost $1 for 5 min. & .25 per each additional minute. The owner was less than friendly and stern about the rules ("Make sure your Read and obey all the rules"). I really think this place is over priced. It is over a mile from Bayfield and there is nothing much to do here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a great stay we had in Bayfield at AIA Campground!! Our first impression of the campground was very positive, as the grounds are very well kept. The hosts were most accommodating and went out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one. Our firewood was delivered to us, and this place has the best ice ever! The bathrooms had flush toilets and were very nice. The showers were hot and squeaky clean and well worth the few quarters it took to wash up! The campground was very quiet and we had the best sleep that we have had in a long time while out on the road. Bayfield itself is a quaint non-commercialized city with lots of things to do, there are many fun shops and really good food. A great time was had by the whole family. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is a very nice campground however the sites are a little tight. Restrooms were clean but very cool in October due to open air construction. Some sites in upper part of the campground had a view of the Apostle Islands. This was a great place to stay while touring in the Apostle Island area. We would stay here again. It is a beautiful area with much to see. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in this campground in October and we were the only camper there. On the positive side; Lake Superior view, access for kayaking, and closeness to Bayfield and the Apostle Islands was terrific. Our site 32 has full hookups with 50 amps, water and sewer and satellite TV. Many sites are unlevel and require 8 to 10 inches to raise your rig. Since we got here after a lot of rain, the mud on the streets and some sites was a concern, but that is the weather. There is nothing fancy in this campground but its access to the area is very good. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I could go back to the 2003 review and just copy it, but because the park hasn't cleaned up problems for six years, the Overall Rating should now be 3 and no longer 4! Problems include: lots not level, one shower house/bathroom closed, interior roads full of ruts, office old and depressing, and dumpsters over-flowing and very smelly. But hey: the view is fantastic and not any other parks had sites available for big rigs .If we come back to area, we will just make reservations earllier....at another park! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The views spectacular. Site #12 had Lake Superior shoreline right at the sight. Loved watching the birds and kayakers go by. Very quiet and serene. Marina on site for launching or keeping your boat. One row of sites for big rigs with sewer hookup. One bathhouse totally shut down and the other in major need of renovation and repairs. Was constantly dirty with clay mud and straw because the main access to the showerhouse was directly through the fairly recently redone leechfield/septic field with no grass overlaying it and only the clay mud and straw. The RV dump is still inoperable. The showers were free and the water was hot. Would be really nice if they would just renovate and take care of the bathhouse and septic area. If you are in an RV, go for the views. You won't have to worry about the bathhouse. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A bit off the beaten path, secluded and quiet. All sites on grass with gravel roads. Showers available but are pay, restrooms next door at the NP parking for the Apostle Islands. Close to beach (across road), marina/harbor, and historic fishing works. Hosts very friendly. Nice beach to walk along, clean, sheltered. Can see some of the islands from campground. Most sites open and with few large trees for shade. Tent sites off to side more removed from main camp. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
