Lake Winnie offers excellent fishing opportunities for walleye, perch and muskie. It is one of the state's premier fisheries. Boating and water skiing are also popular activities.

Additionally, there is a fishing cleaning building within the campground for camper use.

Very Popular and Access to Lake
We went on a busy weekend, but the campground itself was in good shape and had several options for individuals who want to tent camp or RV camp. This is the best campground in the area in my opinion as it offers a lot. The hosts were great and very welcoming. The electric sites are not on the water which is fine. Sites are big and offer some privacy. The sites on the water are a little smaller, but that is the price you pay to have the ability to doc your boat at your site. Mostly RVs in the campground but you can easily tent camp and get some peace. It is a popular destination bc of its proximity to other lakes.

Beautiful place
Very nice Forest Service campground. Nicely wooded and private. We will try to visit again and get a lakeside site.
Hidden Treasure
A lovely shaded site with plenty of trees to string a hammock. The lake is great for swimming and fishing. Quiet hours are observed. A short hike through the woods will bring you to a tiny convenience store with pretty much anything available that you might have forgotten. Potable water is available throughout and the vault toilets are cleaned daily by the camp host.
