"Really cool walking path around the fishing docks. Ventured into town (bigfork) so cute. Ate at both the pizza parlor and parks & rec. Got a giant ice cream at the local gas station."

GuideI stayed in the campground while volunteering for Smokey Bear's 81st birthday celebration at the Edge of the Wilderness Discovery Center in Marcell. Much to my surprise, the campground was almost empty. Only one other of the 38 sites was occupied. We've stayed in this campground previously, but in 26 years as a volunteer on the Chippewa, I've never seen any campground this quiet at the height of summer. Needless to say, other than an occasional motorboat on North Star Lake, the only noise was the cry of the loons and the call of an Osprey. I had a nice staircase down to the lakeshore with a bench so I could sit and look out at the lake.
Latrines were immaculate. The three sites I looked at before choosing #33 were all clean as well. The cost per night is a reasonable $14.00, or only $7.00 if you have a access pass.
Before and after the Smokey event, I had the opportunity to visit and fish some backcountry designated trout lakes. Ironically, although I caught was a bass.
A lot of visitors never get beyond fishing and being in the campground, but as a former volunteer Backcountry Ranger on the Chippewa, I would encourage campers to seek out new opportunities and adventures. Discover the forest, and find where you come alive!
GuideNice campground with several lakeside sites. Has all the basics: table, firepit, water and pit toilets. Peaceful campground on a beautiful lake. Loons calling. Only a few other campers, spread out throughout campground.
TravelerThe campground itself was very nice. We stayed in site #12 which was a very large corner lot, but everyone in the campground had to exit around the loop going by the site. Bathrooms and shower house was very nice and updated recently. It was 80⁰plus when we were there and the sand flies were horrible. Someone did spray for bugs one night and that did help a lot. We had a 10 and 8 year old with us, no play ground or water access for the kids, due to the very fast flowing river. They recently got 12 inches of rain, so river was really raging. I would come back in the Fall or if you don't mind just sitting around a lot.
GuideThis campground is a hidden gem! Each spacious site has electric and water hookups, making it convenient for longer stays. The area is clean and beautifully wooded, with a gorgeous, raging river—perfect for relaxing, praying, or meditating by the water. Amenities include clean showers and a large, well-maintained new community shelter. The whole campground feels cozy and peaceful, yet it’s just minutes from town and restaurants. A truly perfect place to unwind and connect with nature.
GuideThis campground is on a fairgrounds by a race track. Thursday nights and sometimes Saturday nights if there are races it's noisy and dirty. Sites are nice with gravel pads and grass. Lots of room to walk the dog. Bike trail close and horse shows to watch. Lake with swimming and fishing pier right across the street.
GuideChippewa Loop is one of three (Norway Beach, Wanaki) campground loops within the Norway Beach Recreational Area, Chippewa National Forest. Sites are close to each other with many providing trees and foliage for some privacy. Trails lead to the bike path and Cass Lake. Chippewa Loop is divided into three separate loops. The largest loop has 30 sites within electrical hookups. This loop had one bath house with facilities for both men and women and three water stations. Facilities included a bathroom with two toilets and sink and one ADA bathroom with one toilet, sink, and shower for both genders. B add throoms could use some improvements but work.
TravelerAt this time of year this camps, mine is wide open. It’s right on the lake. There is actually no one else around. Nice big spots.
TravelerLiterally right between the road and lake winnibigoshish. Really beautiful spot. There is a fire ring on the "beach" and one next to the tent pads. Tent pad is pretty small and uneven though, and because of the location it's hard to find a place to answer nature's call... But worth it to park directly in front of a lake on a beautiful night
TravelerThis is a very nice dispersed site with a fire ring, 2 picnic tables, a level parking spot that is at least 35ft long, and a boat launch into upper pigeon lake. The road off of county Rd 33 (Dixon lake Rd) is short but unmaintained and the end of it has a good bit of uneven, sandy slope. I would not recommend it if you have low clearance or are not confident in manuvering your vehicle/ trailer
