Ada Lake campgrounds provide picnic tables, vault toilets, and drinking water, while dispersed sites like Oconto River require campers to pack in their own water and supplies. A camper noted that "the entrance was doable for my sedan, but was tricky" at Oconto River, indicating high-clearance vehicles may be preferable for accessing some primitive tent sites. Camp New Wood County Park offers fire rings described as "quite large and hold a lot of fire wood" but campers should note the water source is "a bit of a hike down the trail and through the woods."
