What you should know

Payment policies: Some facilities operate with cash-only policies. Lake Chippewa Campground has a "Well appointed lodge with a small market and snack bar. Be aware they do not accept credit cards so plan ahead."
Connectivity challenges: Cell service varies significantly across the region. At Flambeau Lodge and Campground, there's "No cell service in area. Print maps," advises one visitor, while others note spotty WiFi at many properties.
