"Small and secluded this campground sits on the edge of bear lake and little cub lake is a short walk or drive from there."
"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."

TravelerI absolutely loved it here first time staying and will be back many more! Would've given 5 starts if the sites had electricity, but theres still plug in over by the pavilion. Definitely a gem of a find.!!!!
RangerMy family has been going here for generations. Many memories were made here. Boot Lake offers a nice little beach, fishing and recreation and close to Townsend and Lakewood as well as other lakes and recreation in the CNNF.
LegendBoot Lake is located about 5 minutes outside the town of Townsend in North Central Wisconsin. It is a smaller rustic campground with large and unique campsites! There are pit toilets but no bathrooms or showers. Drinking water is available. There is a nice large beach with good swimming and fishing! There are some restaurants and places to pick up necessities with a 10 min. Drive. The trails available at the campground will take you around the campgrounds but nowhere else. This is the perfect campground for setting up for a few days and not wanting to go anywhere and do nothing but what camping is supposed to be and the type of campground you will come back to if you like quiet and relaxing camping
TravelerIt's so quiet here. The campsites spread apart the campgrounds may be heavily booked, but it doesn't feel like it. There is swimming, boating (campsites are also available on the island), lots of hiking trails, and tons of waterfalls in the area. Thanks to the came hostess,Melody H, and the other park employees, the bathrooms and showers were impeccable. I've been camping in a tent for two weeks and I look forward to coming back next year.
TravelerClean bath house, reasonable fee, spacious sites, great staff
LegendCute campground with an artesian well. The toilet is clean.
TravelerWe loved this place and would stay again. The host was super friendly and helped us out. The bathroom was clean, but we didn't try the showers.
RangerThe park is nice, but a little underwhelming. Nice sites - both back-up and pull-thru. Bathrooms and showers were excellent. There are also pit toilets in the loops. We found so many ticks on us!! Be careful! Camp store really only has wood and ice and T-shirts. Would be a great park if you had a boat. Once in the water at the beach, the water turns black (ugh). Really expensive for out-of-Staters. Cost me about $100 for 2 nights (because of Wisconsin Parks car pass).
GuideAs of this writing, 2024, they have recently installed new showers and flush bathrooms. I live near this campground, so I have stayed at almost every site in the park. If you cant have or don't want a lake site, site #4 is the largest. It is almost 35 yards across the front. Trees are growing back, but not many mature trees on the East of the park. There is a really nice beach area adjacent to, but not in the campground. It is a nice short walk. Each site has electric hookup, and some sites have more than one box. Not much ambient light in this park, so it is great for viewing stars and Northern Lights. This park also is situated near the ATV trail, and has access to the 160 mile Blue Ox trail system.
Camping near Armstrong Creek, Wisconsin offers diverse outdoor experiences across national forest lands. The region sits at elevations between 1,500-1,800 feet within the Nicolet National Forest, with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak camping months. Winter campers should prepare for temperatures frequently dropping below 20°F, with the area receiving over 70 inches of snowfall annually.
Kayaking and canoeing on quiet waters: Bear Lake Campground provides excellent paddling opportunities on electric-motor-only water. "The lake is electric motors only, so boat traffic is quiet, and there are minimal private properties on the lake," notes a visitor to Bear Lake Campground.
Fishing in secluded settings: Boot Lake offers both shoreline and boat fishing options. "Boot lake is actually the shape of a boot. It provides some decent fishing from shore but excellent fishing from a boat," explains a camper at Boot Lake Campground.
Exploring hiking trails: Several trails wind through the Nicolet National Forest. "Lots of geocaches in the park to keep us busy," mentions a camper at Governor Thompson State Park, while another points out that "the Quartz Hill Trail is a bit of a drive past Townsend."
Artesian wells for fresh water: The natural spring at Chipmunk Rapids draws visitors from nearby campgrounds. "The best feature is the artesian well right at the entrance. We filled up with water and the line started just as we finished. Even if you camp elsewhere the water is worth a visit," according to a review of Chipmunk Rapids Campground.
Secluded, rustic camping: Lost Lake offers waterfront sites in a remote setting. "The campground is very rural, the closest town being Florence which is 20 miles away. It is right off of lost lake which is a small lake that can swim in, small boating, fishing," shares a visitor to Lost Lake Campground.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many campgrounds in the area offer chances to spot local wildlife. "Lots of deer and turkeys. Heard wolves at night. It was great!" reports a camper at Chipmunk Rapids, while another at Governor Thompson State Park noted, "Did hear some bear walking the first night and some coyotes/or wolves howling literally right behind our tent the second night."
Tick awareness: Several campgrounds report tick issues, especially in spring. "Beautiful Lakes secluded areas and a crazy amount of ticks in May. This could be why we were the only people in our loop of the campground so early in the season," cautions a visitor to Governor Thompson State Park.
Limited cell service: Most remote campgrounds have poor or no connectivity. "ZERO WiFi and cell service," reports a Bear Lake visitor, while others mention losing GPS signal while navigating forest roads.
Firewood availability: Policies vary between campgrounds. "The wood grab was very generous and rather than them taking 5 small pieces and wrapping them together with cellophane, you fill up a wheelbarrow via honor system with large split dry logs," notes a camper at Governor Thompson State Park.
Beach areas for swimming: Several lakes offer designated swimming areas. "The beach is nice size with a roped off swimming area that has plenty of space for the kids to swim and explore," shares a visitor to Bear Lake Campground.
Playground access: Some county parks provide playground equipment. "The grandkids" enjoyed the "great" playgrounds at Lake Antoine Park Campground, which also features "a really nice beach."
Consider yurt camping: For families seeking Armstrong Creek, Wisconsin yurt camping options, several sites offer alternatives to traditional tent camping. While permanent yurt structures aren't common, cabin rentals and glamping units provide similar comfort for families not ready for tent camping.
Site selection for larger rigs: Governor Thompson State Park offers various site types. "We have a 19ft travel trailer & a ford truck. We stayed at site 19, it is pull in & it was perfect, with plenty of room for everything. We took a walk to be nosy & also liked site 20, it was even bigger! Site 14 looked great for a pull thru site."
Electric hookups: West Bass Lake Park provides electrical options. "Each site has electric hookup, and some sites have more than one box," according to a recent visitor, making this a good option for those needing power near Armstrong Creek.
Seasonal availability: While many campgrounds close for winter, some remain accessible. "Open year round but water is shut off in winter. No reservations.
