Boat-in access is the only way in. Chippewa Flowage Boat-In Sites, set within forested shoreline in northern Wisconsin, requires campers to arrive by water and costs $20 per night. Sites include picnic tables, and pets are permitted. Reservations are available, which makes sense to arrange in advance given the logistical commitment of a water-only approach. Anglers and paddlers exploring campsites near Winter will find this a workable base for time on the Chippewa Flowage.
