That was my birthday July 25th. I do lived in Sister Bay for almost 26 years. I did grew up in coming towards Door County from Gurnee, Illinois for vacations. Even my parents built a year round vacation home in the fall of 1979 till they retired in the summer of 1993. They lived there one died and the other died in early April 2018. Myself and my sister sold the house to someone. They sold it to someone that is using as a vacation rental. For camping the best campground is Wagon Trail campground. It doesn’t have a swimming pool. It is very nice and very wooded. Even my father used to worked at Newport State Park. He retired from it in 2011. I do missed him there. He did watched the Packers on his laptop during the off season. I even remembered some of the buildings in Sister Bay when I was 10 years old.

I'm sure they would be happy to know that you're keeping their memory alive by sharing your stories and experiences. i'm glad you mentioned Wagon Trail Campground. It's a great place to camp, and it's one of my favorites in Door County. I love the wooded sites and the peaceful atmosphere. It's also nice that it's close to Sister Bay, so you can easily head into town for supplies or to explore. I know what you mean about missing your father at Newport State Park. It's special to have a place that's so closely associated with a loved one. I'm sure he enjoyed working at the park and watching the Packers on his laptop during the off-season. Thank you for sharing your story. It's always nice to hear from people who love Door County as much as I do.
I understand your passion for Cape Cod, but I think it's fair to say that Door County is the "Cape Cod of the Midwest." Both peninsulas have beautiful beaches, charming villages, and a thriving tourism industry. But Door County has a more laid-back vibe and a smaller population, which makes it a great place to escape the crowds. Here are a few things that make Door County unique: Fish boils: Door County is known for its traditional fish boils, where whitefish is cooked in a large cauldron over an open fire. Cherries: Door County is the cherry capital of Wisconsin, and there are dozens of cherry orchards and farm stands where you can buy fresh fruit and cherry-based products. Peninsula State Park: Peninsula State Park is one of the most popular state parks in Wisconsin, and it's home to stunning scenery, hiking trails, and campgrounds. Washington Island: Washington Island is a car-free island off the coast of Door County, and it's a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. If you're looking for a Cape Cod-like experience in the Midwest, Door County is a great option. It's a beautiful place with something to offer everyone. Of course, Cape Cod is also a wonderful place to visit. It has a rich history, stunning beaches, and a variety of attractions. But if you're looking for a more relaxed and affordable vacation, Door County is a great alternative.
