Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit is a beautiful area offering a variety of outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views from steep hills and explore trails that wind through the forest, though some are not well marked. The park features great camping with well-equipped sites, including vault toilets, showers, and water stations. Many campsites provide a feeling of isolation despite being close to others. There are also mountain bike trails and opportunities to find wild edibles depending on the season, but caution is advised during hunting season. The park has a 24-hour firewood cart and several restrooms, making camping convenient. However, some visitors note that the camp hosts could improve the upkeep of the campsites, as trash can accumulate quickly. Trails are enjoyable but may be confusing due to limited signage. Overall, Kettle Moraine offers scenic drives, outdoor recreation, and a peaceful natural setting worth exploring again.
It was a wonderful experience, while there are lot of activities anyone can do, there is whitewater lake and rice lake, and the ice age trail. We did kayaking on whitewater lake and a pretty friendly host.

The KM is always wonderful. Trails for all hiking levels. Ticks are out, spray with bug spray.
