The Pike Lake Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest is in the middle of the Kettle Moraine, a strip of glacial landforms which extends through southeastern Wisconsin to Lake Winnebago. This provides for a beautiful glacial remnant landscape of kames, kettles, and eskers.

The forest is named after the 522-acre, spring-fed kettle: Pike Lake. Powder Hill, a large glacial kame, provides the opportunity for a great hike and view. Visitors can enjoy camping, swimming, hiking, fishing, picnicking, and much more within the forest.

The campground has: Shower building, Flush toilets, Water fountains, Dumping station (A $3 fee is required for non-registered campers at the Pike Lake Unit.) A picnic table, fire pit, and tent pad at each campsite. Electrical hookups are available at 11 sites, including #21, the accessible site.
