    Bond Falls Campground

    Great Views and Quiet Camping

    8/26-9/1/22- Free camping! There are vault toilets and hand-pump well drinking water in several places, and picnic tables and fire pits at each camp site. The sites are well maintained, clean, and reasonably flat. I tried self registering, but there was nowhere to sign-in. About 11Am the next morning, someone came by to register us. 2-bars Verizon 5G, and 2-bars AT&T 4G. 

    We rolled in about 10pm and drove through the western loop sites 1-22, pulled into the first pull-through site(W5) that we could easily get our 34’ fifth wheel into and went to sleep. In the morning, I walked the loop and found several others that we could fit(now that it was light out), and we moved over one site to W6. Site W21 has a lake view and a large loop in front of this back-in site that would be super easy to navigate for a big rig. Sites 11 and 12 were really close together but had a good views of the lake as well. Later, we drove over to the east camp site that all seemed to have lake views, and sites E12 and E13 are surrounded on 3 sides by water, a turn-around loop, and more sunlight for solar powered rigs. I didn’t think to check cell signal while there. 

    The towns of Watersmeet and Conover had the cheapest diesel fuel. The Wild Turkey Bar& Grill in Conover, WI had fabulous smoked meats, and there is a great little hardware store in Conover as well.

    Lake Gogebic State Park Campground

    Awesome state park

    Loved this camping trip. Great park. Super helpful and friendly staff/hosts. Clean bathrooms, pet friendly. Awesome location on Lake Gogebic shore. Close to Porcupine Mountains and Bond Falls and hiking trails. Would love to visit again.

    Sailor Lake NF Campground

    Spacious sites in the Wisconsin woods

    Nestled within Wisconsin forest you find Sailor Lake. This national forest campground has water access as well as sites away from the lake. We stayed at site 12 - a pull through site away from the water.

    Many, although not all, of the waterside sites are for tents. You park and carry your gear down a few steps for a close to the water feel. There is an open area for everyone to enjoy the lake - it’s filled with purple flowers today. With plenty of woods around, all sites offer privacy but they have different vibes. Plenty of choice here so look around or reserve one. Plenty of sites available for walk-ins too. A couple of vault toilets, garage receptacle and water source round out a nice camp.

    ATV trails as well as non-motorized trails are plentiful. We hiked on them and it was nice. Minimal cell signal encourages disconnecting for your stay.

    Holly Wood Hill Campground & Crandon Saloon Event Center

    Clean and Fun

    • Yards on the lower sites are large, lots of room with concrete pads, but power/water hookups at lower sites are designed for motorhomes, not travel trailers
    • Yards on upper sites are cramped and unlevel
    • Taco Truck on site has amazing food!
    • The campground is ATV/UTV friendly but the area “trails” are gravel roads except the ATV park east of Crandon
    • Dump site is unlevel and leans away from hose hookup making it difficult to fully flush holding tanks
    • Driveway to get in and out of dump site is rough and quite tight for a camper longer than 35ft to maneuver around
    • On July 4th wknd we paid $60/night for water and power hookup, a little steep for not having full hookups

    Indian Shores

    Indian Shores - a worthy desination in Wisconsin’s Northwoods

    This is a larger campground with a good mix of seasonal and weekend campsites. The majority of the weekend campsites are located near the prime activity locations; the pool, playground and lake areas. There are full sun and full shade sites available. The Shady sites are amongst the evergreens, so they tend to be sandier. The full sun sites are all grass. All of the sites have a gravel pad to park on; the exception to this are the lakeside sites which are concrete pads. There is a camp store and a good sized bar & grill. The weekend we were here it rained non-stop, so we did not get to use any of the available canoe/kayak/fishing boat/pontoon boat rentals. We did make ample use of the mini-golf, playground, and heated swimming pool though. The pool was warm enough that even the non-stop rain did not cool it down enough to be uncomfortable. The seasonal campers I met and talked with were all friendly and did not have the “why are you here” attitude I occasionally come across when staying at seasonal heavy resorts. I did see several people fishing in the rain and pulling keepers out of the lake to be cleaned and cooked. They were fishing from the docks. Our kids are 7 & 10 and they were never bored. There were a couple trails within the campground that were good for nature hikes. If it were a little closer to home, this campground would be on the shortlist of places to have a seasonal site at.

    Curry Park Campground

    Saw a deer

    Saw a deer walking through camp. Nearby brewery was a nice treat! Sites we stayed at were pull through sites with full hook ups. A picnic table and fire pit is provided at each campsite and we were able to stay next to friends we were traveling with (specified we would like neighboring sites when we made the reservations). Nice amount of tree cover at our sites. The road into the campground was nice and smooth. There is also a small playground, bathrooms, and sanitary dump site in the campground.

    Stannard Township RV Park - CLOSED

    An oaisis in the wilderness for stocking up!

    The most convenient campground in the western U.P. $15 per night, electric and water hookup, dump station. Within hundreds of feet of food, gas, diesel, propane, laundromat, and hardware. Easy access and wood available. Showers are clean and flush toilets. Very safe and central to the little town of Bruce Crossing. Owned by the township, money generated funds our roads here.

    Patricia Lake Campground

    Mostly Seasonal Campers

    This is our second stay, once in 2020 and now 2023. Both times were just for a couple nights. Great location to explore Minocqua. The campground is comprised mostly of seasonal folks, but offers 20 some sights to non-seasonal. Sites are relatively spaced apart for a private campground and offer FHU’s for those needing to stay a night or two to dump tanks, etc. A bit pricey, but if you spend most of your time boondocking it’s a good fit. Good Verizon signal and they have cable TV hookup.


Guide to Arbor Vitae

North of Minocqua in Wisconsin's lake country, Arbor Vitae sits amid a forest landscape marked by glacial lakes and dense woodland. The camping season typically runs from early May through mid-October, with July temperatures averaging 78°F during daytime hours. Most private campgrounds in the area close for winter due to heavy snowfall that can exceed 65 inches annually.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer direct lake access for anglers seeking trout and other species. Twin Lakes NF Campground has a lake stocked with trout where campers report good fishing conditions. "This campground is a true gem...Site 8 is a larger site that would be perfect for sunset. Most sites have a way to the water and some have stairs down to the water," notes a camper at Twin Lakes NF Campground.

Hiking trails: Sylvania Wilderness area features old-growth forest trails suitable for day hikes. "We hiked around part of Clark Lake. It's a beautiful trail and also has some backcountry campsites. There are some other hikes in the area too," writes a visitor to Sylvania (Clark Lake) Campground. The Round Lake trail offers quieter hiking experiences away from busier areas.

Paddling excursions: Canoes and kayaks can be launched at several area lakes. One reviewer at Alpine Campground noted, "Utv trails to Wisconsin can be accessed right here. There are waterfalls nearby that are off the beaten path. Can't beat it if your looking to explore and have an adventure."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the secluded feel at certain campgrounds. At Moen Lake Campground & RV Park, a visitor noted, "If you want a quiet, secluded campground where you can just sit back and enjoy being out in the woods (we had deer walk through the back of our campsite at night), then you will enjoy this campground."

Wildlife viewing: The area supports diverse wildlife including deer and various bird species. "We saw deer and fawn, rabbits and so many mallards in a couple hikes," reports a camper at Twin Lakes NF Campground. Early morning and dusk offer the best viewing opportunities from campsite areas.

Night sky observations: Limited light pollution creates excellent stargazing conditions. "Loads of stars here!" exclaims a Twin Lakes visitor. Campers should bring red-light flashlights to preserve night vision while moving around camp after dark.

What you should know

Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds close by mid-October. Borderline RV Park operates "May 1 - Oct 31" according to their listing information. A reviewer notes it's "Great for adults, fishing base camp, we stayed there May - Sept 2022 and loved it!"

Mosquito preparation: The numerous lakes create ideal mosquito breeding grounds. "Shady private sites with ample mosquitoes," warns a visitor at Sylvania (Clark Lake) Campground. Bring effective repellent and consider permethrin-treated clothing during peak summer months.

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely throughout the area. "We had one dot of Verizon cell signal in camp but full service in Watersmeet, a short drive away," reports a Sylvania camper. Download offline maps before arrival as navigation apps may not function in remote locations.

Tips for camping with families

Beach access: Clark Lake offers swimming opportunities with designated beach areas. A visitor notes, "There are 2 nice beaches on either end, and easy portage to other lakes." Kids can enjoy water play while adults appreciate the natural setting.

Campground amenities: Some locations provide family-friendly facilities. At Arbor Vitae Campground, a reviewer mentions, "The campground is old as dirt, had a nice lake for swimming and fishing but that's it. Tiny game room with Pac-Man."

Supply planning: Nearby towns have limited shopping options. One Sylvania camper advises, "Since Watersmeet is a VERY small town, groceries and other essentials are costly, so come already packed." Family trips require advance meal planning due to limited resupply options.

Tips from RVers

Site conditions: Many RV sites feature varying degrees of levelness and privacy. A visitor to Alpine Campground & RV Park observed, "Sites were grass, a little un-level but were very spacious. These pull-thru sites were water and electric only (30 amp) and the water pressure was a little low."

Hookup capabilities: RV campers should verify specific connections before booking. "The facilities were not in great condition. The place was kind of run down. Lots of things didn't work," reports another Alpine Campground visitor, highlighting the importance of confirming operational utilities.

Reservation recommendations: Summer weekends fill quickly at popular campgrounds. "Prepare for it to be packed on the weekends, but week day camping is pretty serene," suggests a Sylvania visitor. Make reservations 3-6 months in advance for weekend stays during peak season.
