About
Potawatomi State Park overlooks Sturgeon Bay from a 75-foot observation tower at the base of the Door Peninsula, with mountain biking, hiking, and a boat launch. The two-loop Daisy Field Campground has 123 sites (40 electric); four group sites accommodate up to 30 people each. An accessible cabin, Cabin by the Bay, is also available (not counted in the total above).
Fees
Wisconsin DNR statewide camping system: a vehicle admission sticker is required at every state park or forest entrance, including for registered campers - $28/year for Wisconsin residents ($13/year age 65+) or $50/year for non-residents, or $13/day resident / $16/day non-resident. Nightly campsite rates vary by electricity, amenities, location, site type, day of week and season, and are shown when you select a specific site during booking; non-resident campers pay a flat $15/night surcharge on top of the site's own rate. A $9.30 reservation fee applies per booking, plus a $10 cancellation fee or $6 change fee if plans change. Pets are allowed at this campground on a leash no longer than 8 feet at all times, per Wisconsin State Park System's statewide pet policy; owners must clean up and properly dispose of pet waste.
