JULY 2024
The Wanoka Lake Campground in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest will be closed starting July 19, 2024, to conduct site improvements. mprovements will be made to site drainage and the campground access roads (FR243, 243A, and 243B), boat launch access, and overflow parking area will be repaved. Solar electrical service and a wastewater holding tank will be added to the host site. FR243 will remain open during the repaving process.
Wanoka Recreation Area is located off an ATV route that connects to local ATV trails and other open routes. Visitors may ride their ATV or smaller UTVs to and from the route. ATVs may not be used to drive around the campground for fun. ATVs need to be kept on their trailers or on the parking spur on the site. Located approximately 7 miles east of Iron River, this campground is located on a 15-acre lake that has panfish and trout. Wanoka Lake Campground has 20 sites. Each site has a defined parking spur, fire ring, picnic table, and tent pad, and can accommodate RV's up to 35 feet.

There is a carry-in-boat access. Did you forget something? Don't sweat it! The small town of Iron River can meet your camping supply needs ranging from groceries to firewood. If you need an out-of-state fishing or ATV/UTV license, Iron River gas stations have these available for purchase. So, if you like to fish, kayak, hike, bike or enjoy being close to town, then the Wanoka Recreation Area is the place for you, conveniently located just a short drive from Iron River.

Epic campground for adventure enthusists! Super cool with very large sites! CAMBA mtn bike trails are right next to camp so it make it very easy to hook on and go! Both Hayward and Cable were close by with some very clear lakes to go paddle! Cabins are unique and one of a kind and will be a fun place during the winter to stay! Showers were kept very clean and bike wash station was a huge asset! Moe (owner) is extremely friendly, handing out maps of all the trails and guidance on what to do! Highly reccomend this place and cant wait to come back soon! Thank you for a great stay!!

We drove through this campground and liked it fine, it has a USFS campground feel to it. Very lush and green, lots of trees and nice individual spots. Sites are reservable online or by phone. No pay station at campground, no FCFS sites.
Cost for non-residents is $21 for the campsite and another $11 daily state park entrance fee. So, $32 for the same type of campground as a USFS at about $15. We just couldn’t justify paying that when we knew there were USFS campgrounds nearby. If you’re a resident and/or already have the annual Wisconsin state parks pass, then the cost here is pretty reasonable.
There’s a hand-pump water faucet here, vault toilets, and just outside of the campground is a dumpster and a mixed recycling bin. Each site has a picnic table and fire grill and a cool log bench.
LegendI 100% agree with Legend Laura about the price of this campground. If it was simply about the location, this would get five plus stars because it's so beautiful! But if you're from out of state, the prices are even more expensive than she indicated previously, so they must have updated them.
The campsite itself is only $16 which is a bargain! But, if you are out of state like we are, there's also a $15 charge for that. And then, that doesn't include admission to the area, so you pay $11 and change for that. It ended up being about $50 total. That said, we paid it and fully enjoyed it but not sure we would do it again unless we had a Wisconsin sticker. At least to alleviate the $11 charge to get in.
All of that out of the way, the site itself is absolutely gorgeous. This park has lots of very mature trees and lots of very mature pine trees, making it very quiet. The spaces are quite distant from one another and we didn't hear our neighbors at all. We were at one of the walk-in campsites which I chose on purpose because it was literally on top of the river, we could sit by the river and wade our toes if we wanted to. It had a fire ring, a very short walk to the bathroom, and only a short distance to the car from the site. Maybe 100 ft plus about 30 stairs to get up to the parking level.
The walk-in sites also double as canoe campsites, so the river is something you can paddle if the water is sufficient to do so. There is a beautiful little picnic area near the bathrooms that sits on the river as well. Vault toilets seemed as clean as they could be, and they are a little fancier than your single vaults. They have stalls and toilet paper!
I highly recommend if you live in Wisconsin visiting this site as it wouldn't cost much at all. Out of towners, it's a bit more pricey.
GuideRustic campsites with easy access to the Seeley Pass trail candy. Lots of mosquitoes- so many it was hard to be outside and enjoy a fire at all, but also an untypical rainy weekend. Very quiet area in the middle of the Northwoods. Small sites with long grass around all the sides, which makes for a fair amount of ticks. If trail access was all we wanted, I’d give it 5 stars. On a rainy weekend, it wasn’t ideal. Must pay for showers.
TravelerReally enjoyed this place! It’s connected to miles of trails for multiple uses like mountain biking, hiking, running, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and winter fat biking. Staff is very polite and helpful. Cabins are a nice size for parties of 6, and sites are somewhat private. Rustic campground with flush toilet, and personal enclosed shower rooms. Sauna was a nice option after a day on the trails. Will definitely be returning!
ScoutVery wooded, big lots not at all over crowded and quiet!! Cheap boat and pontoon rental, very friendly and kind staff. I plan on going back and possibly purchasing for permanent site.
ScoutReel Livin Is well maintained and very peaceful. Lost Land Lake offers good fishing and boating. Kevin and Elise were welcoming and even provided parts to fix a major RV plumbing issue. We stayed in camp site 5. It was a large, pull through site. No issue parking our 40’ DP and toad. I would definitely come back!

It was raining the night we stayed. Bathrooms are centrally located, but I was surprised how few stalls there were in the men's bathroom.. There were 2 in the facility that served at least 60 sites. They bathrooms were clean, and shower water was hot, but waiting to poop in the morning is never fun. Very dog friendly, and a bunch of young families due to all the activities offered for kids. WiFi was very spotty, probably due to all the kids and bad weather.
GuideThis is an older campground but well cared for. Because of covid there aren't weekend bundles for activities and everything needed to be purchased separate. One of the nice things is that they can charge everything back to the site so there's no need to carry money. The pool was nice and the waterslide was fun but the river tubing was the best. They shuttle you out and pick you up. The sites are pull through but narrow. We knew our neighbors so we parked the trucks on one site so we could all sit around the fire.
GuideFirst time visiting this location. Campground is very clean, the staff is super friendly, and there are lots of things to do! Pool, waterslide, mini golf, playgrounds and so much more! They also have themed weekends for the kids, and plenty of activites! Bathrooms are clean, showers are hot! The sites are close together, but that's okay, because everyone keeps to themselves. All in all its a pretty great place!
GuideGreat campground to stay with family! Campground was kept very clean, even though it is an older campground. Only complaint would be that sites are close together!
TravelerLove all this campsite has to offer with amenities! Beautiful area as well. But there are alot of trees that make it very challenging for larger rigs. There are a handful of sites that would be easy to access, I recommend calling first. We have a 43ft 5th wheel.
ScoutAwesome place to just relax and kick your feet up for a get away!
ScoutWe enjoyed having all the amenities on-site. The staff were friendly and professional, the concession restaurant was good and affordable.
ScoutAwesome spot for kids! Lots for them to do. Sites are kinda close but landscape is great! I’ll be going back!!
TravelerThis campground is a child's paradise. We were here with our 5 year old granddaughter. There were activities for her to do all day long. She loved the playground, pool, ice cream, wagon ride and crafts. She made many friends at the playground and pool. There were numerous friend and family groups camping in the same area. I gave this a 4 star because even though it was great for families I felt we were packed together in a tight area. Vehicles didn't fit well in the sites with the campers and/or tents. We had 2 vehicles and we did make it work.
ScoutWe stayed over Labor Day weekend on our family’s First RV trip. Nice location and facilities with good amenities. A bit expensive. Quite noisy for our site. The firewood was not very easy to catch fire though.
TravelerI've recently gotten into camping. I love it, and love KOAs, I've camped at a few and they're great. My grandson enjoyed the waterslide.
GuideLarge campground with a pool and slide. Not private and sites are very close.

After an unfortunate start to a holiday weekend at a KOA site we blindly booked, were left with our camper, 3 anxious dogs & nowhere to go . The KOA was kid central, noisy, overly crowded, & the campers & RVs packed on top of each other like sardines. My worst RV Park nightmare! I panicked & randomly called Treeland RV Resort , blindly once again. The phone # listed rings the maim resort . The RV Park is located right across the street. They kindly transferred me & I was greeted with the very lovely Susan. She was phenomenal from the beginning. I asked if they happened to have any openings for a pull thru or back in site. It was a Saturday on Memorial Day weekend..& she didn’t laugh at me! She was happy to announce that they did indeed happen to have a cancellation & she’d gladly hold the spot for us !! Hallelujah! About 45 minutes later we pulled in to the park.. we knew instantly this was going to be amazing. We just knew.. ya know? It had a cute red barn office & we immediately noticed how immaculate & thoughtful the landscape & aesthetic is. Susan was just as lovely in person. She gave us our site info , calmed our nerves & told us to get situated at our site & then we could come back to the office at our leisure & finish the paperwork. Wowza! We found our site & we were not disappointed at all. In fact just blown away! Tucked away from our neighbor just enough to have plenty of space for us & the pups but without being completely segregated. There is a playground & heated pool , but it’s just far enough away to not be heard at all but a quick walk to get to if you so desire. Nooks of trees for privacy & a hammock, lots of green grass & a cement area & a well cared for picnic table & bonfire pit & grill. The pull thru gravel driveway at our site was ample & level. All the hook ups were neatly & conveniently ready for lift off. No fuss no muss.
This place goes on & on with quaint little touches. It was welcoming from the very beginning phone call & the people who run this place are incredible, helpful, thoughtful & just plain kind. Susan & her hubby Mike are fantastic.. we can’t say enough about them. Everyone & everything was quite literally perfect. I don’t get to say that often . The dogs were welcomed with open arms too! There were plenty of trails & things for them to see & do.
We were there 3 full days & just barely began to scratch the surface!
So looking forward to going back!!
Guidewhat a place to camp. Go here if you want good food, drinks, amazing fishing, and NO service. That is the best part. This place takes you away from everything. Welcome to real camping
TravelerStep out of your RV in the a.m. and smell the pines! Large pull through sites.Wooded, concrete patio, picnic table, fire pit. Very quiet. Large outdoor pool and all sorts of things to do! Across the road is the Resort with a great restaurant and bar. You can also use peddle boats, kayaks, canoes, etc for FREE!!. Or rent a boat or pontoon, which we did. It was a wonderful 4 days and we reserved again for next year.

A few friends of mine got together one weekend to camp at Porcupine Lake Wilderness. Overall, it was a beautiful place to camp. This particular weekend, it snowed and words could not describe how amazing it was. Complete isolation and a relaxing setting made our trip extra special. I would recommend if you are into adventure. Would go back.
Guide
Sites are a little small and not very private. Seemed like a well visited campground with lots of parties if you are into that. There is a restaurant and bar on the site although I didnt use it. They also have a kayak, canoe, and tube rental service on site which was great for easy access to the river.
Guide
Wanoka is a quiet campground just off the Hwy 2. It has a nice little trout pond and is a good place to teach the younger kids fishing skills. It is however not ideal for young ones who like to play as there is no playground.
LegendTypical USFS campground in the Chequamegon NF. First come first served, self pay, no host, very green and lush and private sites.
$15/night. Some sites are pull through. A few are level, but most would be difficult for us to get level enough to be comfortable. Not sure of the length limit here but we had no problems in our 26ft class c. Roads are narrow and the low hanging branches scraped along the top and sides of our rig, but no damage.
There is a trash dumpster here, and even a recycling bin, a nice surprise. There is potable water at the campground (per note at spigot water is safe to drink but will leave rust residue). Vault toilets here as well.
The lake is nice and peaceful and small, and bugs/mosquitos weren’t too bad. There’s a little dock at the lake but you can’t drive your boat down, you have to carry it on foot.
Surprisingly decent Verizon and ATT service. Hardly anybody here. Beautiful and quiet and serene.
LegendThis is your typical National Forest campground. Very few amenities, a small lake, and a few hiking trails. The positives is it is easy to find, it is right off of the highway, and if you have an ATV you will be able to use the ATV trails. It's not bad for an overnight stay.
