Lovely couple of nights

A last-minute change in our travel plans found us in the Lake Superior area with no camping reservations. We secured a tent site (T-1) here and were quite pleased. The site was private and level, and close to a shower area and laundry, both of which we sorely needed. As an added plus, the restaurant offered an opportunity for a hearty meal and drinks. The pizza here was great, as were the cheese curds, and the hospitality was wonderful. The owner gave us good advice on a drive up the North Shore of Superior.

If we found ourselves in the area again, we'd return here for sure.

Hidden gem

Best pizza in the county. On a beautiful lake for some fishing or just a relaxing cruise.

Enjoy a typical "up north" Wisconsin experience!

The Backyard at Amnicon Lake (formerly Amnicon Acres) is a great place to enjoy a typical "up north" Wisconsin experience, especially on a Packer game night! 

General: New owners took over this place on December 31, 2020, and changed the name to The Backyard at Amnicon Lake (it was formerly Amnicon Acres). There is both a campground and a mobile home park, plus a boat dock, and a bar and grill. Most of the sites appeared to be occupied by seasonal (summer) campers but when I called to make a reservation, I was assured a space. 

Site quality: Sites are (mostly) on grass. Site 35 had electricity and water. No privacy or separation between sites, as would be expected in an RV park. We weren’t sure the site would be level, but it was once we maneuvered our van a bit. 

Bathhouse: Two stalls, two showers. Decently clean. It was a bit of a hike to them from our site but not unreasonable. Appreciated paper towels, a garbage container, and soap. There was also a washer and dryer located near the bathrooms. A code is needed to enter. There are also two pit toilets, but Amanda wrinkled her nose when mentioning them, so we decided not to use them, even though they were very close to our campsite. 

Activities/Amenities: There is a boat dock right across the street on Amnicon Lake convenient if you are a boater (I think some of the seasonal campers have boats here). There is a bar and grill, and we had dinner. Pizza and sandwiches and the pizza was good. Televisions in the bar and a Packer game was on so that drew a local crowd (but smaller than usual since it was a late-night game and school had already started). There was a small playground located right by Site 39. 

This was a good place to land for the night but would likely not stay more than one night since we don't have a boat. The owners and staff were very welcoming.
