Bear Lake

This is a great campground in the north woods.  It is rustic, so limited services.  It is small, just one road with a handful of campsites on it.  We had one noisy neighbor who played their car radio loudly all afternoon, but other than them, it was quiet and peaceful.  The lake is electric motors only, so boat traffic is quiet, and there are minimal private properties on the lake.  It is flat between the campsite and the lake, so easy to access the water from your campsite.

Excellent, quiet campground on pretty lake

The setting for this campground is so pristine and beautiful. Small and secluded this campground sits on the edge of bear lake and little cub lake is a short walk or drive from there. 

Gorgeous primitive campground.

We have been camping here twice this year &amp; absolutely love it! Rustic with no electric hook-ups. There is a pump for drinking water. The sites are large &amp; private with a few waterfront sites. Vault toilets are available. The lake has a swimming area &amp; beautiful Sandy beach &amp; is perfect for  fishing, swimming and kayaking. 
Laona is just a short drive for gas, and food. 

Love this place!

We were at site 25. Lots of wet swampy areas around this site. If it were hot, I would imagine a lot of mosquitos. If you forget something, you are better off going to Laona than Wabeno.  Nice bike trail.  Too shallow to fish off the shore by our site. Does have a grate over there fire for cooking.  ZERO WiFi and cell service

Quiet, serene

This campground is east of Laona. It’s a nice drive out here passing some local homes along the way. The road to the lake is just for the campground. There is a boat launch and picnic area before the campsites. We liked the sites that are lakeside. The road rises so you are elevated above the lake. It’s an interesting perspective. The woods side sites are nice too. You get plenty of shade and privacy. When we showed up the lakeside sites were filled leaving many of the woods side. The drawback might be that the sites directly across from each other but that is adaptable. 

We loved the secluded feeling out here.
