"The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage is a 12,942 acre lake, located in Iron County, Wisconsin. It has a maximum depth of 50 feet. Great fishing as well."
"Beautiful Up North Wisconsin! Over 300 islands, camp sites for groups, families and even a quiet area. Availability for gas, bait or a drink and meal."
"Me and the kids took a road trip from North Carolina to Wisconsin over the summer during Covid to get away."
"Sites that are near the lake have more direct access. For the rest of us it’s a short hike through the woods or a quick drive to the beach."
"We explored the trail behind site 14 and walked along the waterfall. The bridge takes you to another camp section. We walked down the road to see a restaurant with lodging."
"Boat landing very close by in another of the camping loops. Very close to waterfalls. Quiet. Lost a star because it’s very difficult to find, no signage along the road. Great body of water."
"You can literally camp right next to the falls! The sites are very big and have beautiful views of the river that leads to the Turtle Flambeau Flowage!"
$15 / night
"Lake Emily is in Florence county. Very popular from opening to clean see of the season. Great lake and views. Boat ramp fishing grills. Many well forested campsites. Well maintained and clean."
"Vault toilets are centrally located. In the middle of the week there were still empty sites to choose from. However from looking on Google it seems to be a popular spot so weekends may fill up."
"Big Lake Campground is a great spot if you’re looking for a simple and peaceful camping experience. The facilities are very basic—vault toilets and no showers—but they are clean and well-maintained."
"This is a nice campground located in a nice place that isn’t too rustic. Lots of sites in this large campground too. The road in is paved and yet nicely wooded."
"This is a perfect small sized campground with trail access to UTV /Atv trails. If you are coming here to ride I would recommend going west on the trail. North a lot of the trails were closed."
"There are trails starting right by camp. They even have an atv washing station - first I’ve seen. With no Verizon cell service, this is a nice night’s stopover for us."
"Lakeside sites have their own path to the lake. Campers would leave their water “toys” ashore for use the next day. Loons singing; very peaceful."
"Big Muskellunge Lake is one of many campgrounds situated in the North Highland American Legion State Forest and one of three in a two mile radius that offers modern facilities with showers and flush toilets"
$15 - $30 / night
"love this woodsy spot in the Wisconsin north woods. Great little fishing lake too with stocked trout."
"Some sites by the lake have good views but all are nice. Sites on the forest side had longer grass. A pump house is a source for fresh drinking water."
"There are only walk-in tent sites here. We missed that before we headed here so we needed to look elsewhere. There are other campgrounds just a few miles away."
"The lake is gorgeous and swimmable. The only amenities are a vault toilet and water."
TravelerFirst of all we tent camped…
The first night we stayed on the west side campground and the mosquitoes and flies were pretty bad, along with some people running a generator from 11pm to well past 8am…
We left and went to the east side and found a spot along the lake. Mosquitoes and flies were so bad that our dogs faces were getting bloody and bug spray and a fire did nothing for us. We packed up and canceled our whole trip after that.
Had to give 3 stars because it would be a great place in the fall when the bugs aren’t so bad. If that’s possible?
Also love the private sites on the east side.
GuideThis is a first come first serve campsite, self pay. We arrived around 6 after changing flat tire and there were no sites available. Park looked well maintained and nice waterfront sites. We checked at Prentice park and they were full too…only 7 RV sites….tent sites looked questionable ….wasn’t comfortable with my kids around some of the occupants. Camp host was very nice and made recommendations and we found a site 30 minutes away
GuideThis campground has 3 spacious sites, a vault toilet and stream water (downhill) that must be filtered. Sites are $20 payable at the visitor center. We filled up water at the visitor center. There is a hiking parking lot at the entrance to the campground and several cars drive into the campground to turn around. The ranger drove by at dusk. Very quiet and no flies when there were bunches at Union Bay
GuideNice campground with beautiful sites right on Lake Superior. Friendly staff. Unfortunately we were there when the flies were terrible. I would go back during non-fly season
GuideFive developed campsites are here--we were the only ones here the first day of 5, and it never filled up. Only one site was large enough for our 43' motorhome, but all are gorgeous secluded spots. 2 mile drive down a level gravel road to arrive: UTV trail access from this campground as well as hikes to 2 waterfalls.
TravelerWe were in spot 7 and it was great! Right next to the vault toilet. The bugs were pretty bad and we were here middle of June, however good bug spray and fire smoke helped ease them a little. Really close to Lake on the Clouds, the beach, and some little shops for last minute necessities. There’s also the Summit Peak Hike close to the site that was only a half mile hike! Will definitely be back!
TravelerRocks beach friendly people ….
GuideRight on the lake and by the porcupine mountains. We had a site in the second level overlooking the lake sites. Still had a nice view.sites were a bit close and lots of trailers. Our tent was just fine but could see it getting a bit loud. Had showers and flush toilets, not needed but nice to have.
GuideThis site only has three sites, so you are fairly private. I was in Site 3. Site was not that level. If you were tent camping, you would likely be sleeping on a slope of some kind. Bugs were bad in late May.
