Thompson's West End Park

"I have loved this park since I was a kid. They have decent bathrooms and a big playground but it's dated and needs work. The beach is really good and easy to walk in. Not a lot of rocks. But there are wood chips everywhere from the old Sawmills that used to be down there. The pavilion is nice and the short dock is okay for fishing."

"Absolutely beautiful walk! A nice, simple place to camp. This was one of our favorite stops on our way to Bayfield WI. We spent about 45 minutes enjoying the trail, the water, and the wildlife."

"Pretty views of the bay, clean showers for 75 cents, nicely spaced sites, and an artesian well for fresh water. Beach, boat launch, and a walking trail along the Lake Superior shoreline are adjacent to the campground. Lots of sites are seasonal, so it can be a challenge to get a site. There is an overflow area if you don’t need power or water. It is an easy walk into town and a laundromat and craft brewery are very close."

"Great place to park your camper or motorhome. There are spots with a view of the lake, and the grounds are well maintained. There's no water hookup so you'll need to bring your own. They do have a natural running well on site and multiple water spigots. There's no sewer hookup but there is a dump station. There is a nice little beach and playground for kids on site as well as a boat launch. Lots are 27 bucks a night unless you have the waterfront view which is 35 a night. Keep in mind that it is cash or check only, and there is no office to contact, there is a camp host on site. The most issues you will have is grabbing a spot once one opens, as you can't reserve any ahead of time it's first come first serve. The spots seem to get filled in as fast as they are opened up."

"Have been coming here since I was a child. The artesian well fills me with nostalgia every time that I see it. I have never camped here personally, but have spent plenty of time at the beach. Speaking of, this park has seen better days. I saw online that there are plans to revamp it, but that was in 2015 and I didn't see anything being changed. The parking lot flooded last time I was here. It's still a beautiful area and on the right day its almost magical. It just needs some TLC."
