With access to Mondeaux Lake and the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, Picnic Point Campground serves as a base for water activities and hiking in the Chequamegon National Forest. This US Forest Service campground accommodates RVs up to 12 feet with water hookups and provides standard amenities like picnic tables and fire rings. The forested site operates seasonally from late April through October and accepts reservations.
Campers can launch boats directly from the recreation area and fish or swim in the lake. The campground maintains a more secluded feel according to visitors, while connecting to the broader network of campgrounds around Chequamegon National Forest throughout this section of Wisconsin's Northwoods.
