    Lake Chippewa Campground

    Lake Chip Continues to Please

    Our RV GPS wanted to take us through Hayward city central to the campground (CG), which was fine. However, as this was our fourth time staying at Lake Chippewa Campground, we stayed on Hwy 77 past the Walmart to hook up on Hwy 63 at the casino to avoid traffic and stoplights in Hayward. We arrived with no issues and during check-in we were delighted to find out we had other site options than the pull throughs for our 12 night stay. We had changed our reservations to an earlier date, and the only open sites at the time were pull throughs, which are not bad. However, there are much better sites in this CG. We were provided a map of available sites and a golf cart to check out sites. As we know this CG well, it was a no brainer for us to chose back-in site 460 with FHUs. The regulars who normally stay in this site had gotten an opening in one of the CG's permanent site areas. We happily proceeded to our site and had no problems backing in. The hook ups are in the middle of this long pad. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We did not opt for their Wifi, which you have pay for and later found out it doesn't work in this area anyway. We got 1 bar on Verizon and the signal was basically useless. There are a lot of mature trees in this CG and in this site in particular. We put our Starlink on the roof and we were able to get a usable signal. We would rather have a nice site with privacy than wifi or a phone signal. This site sits well off the road and has a large back yard area. Lake Chip is a large private CG but has a state park feel. They have lots of amenities such site side trash pickup, laundry, boat/kayak rentals, golf cart rentals, propane, and the list goes on. Eat at Powell’s on Round Lake about 15 minutes away on Co Hwy C towards Hayward. Good food and service.

    Lake Gogebic State Park Campground

    Nice Spot, easy on and off highway.

    We stayed here the 2nd week of October. They were actually turning the water off for the year when we left. We had the park mostly to ourselves. They water access is nice and it is right off a main highway, although it was not too noisy. There are some state park hiking trails access from campground, also. Facilities were pretty standard state park fair.  Sites seem to have plenty of room.

    Arbor Vitae Campground

    Quiet but nothing going on

    Came to this campground for 3 days to hang out at the fireman’s picnic in arborvitae. The campground is old as dirt, had a nice lake for swimming and fishing but that’s it. Tiny game room with Pac-Man . 2 wash machines and couple dryers. The sites are very small. Electricity has no breakers to shut the juice off before hook up which is very dangerous . Water is good pressure. All in all the campground works if you don’t want to do anything and just sleep.

    Great view, Cabins run down and Beach was a mess

    We have been coming here for a long time. It is under new management and we thought things would get better. While we were here other guests trashed the beach and had dogs running and using the bathroom throughout the campsite. The rules for dogs were to keep them on leashes and clean up after them. These rules were not being followed which caused the beach, in the past is lovely, but with the dogs using it as a bathroom the beach smelt like poop. Nobody in our week of staying cleaned up after them so we needed to go somewhere else to swim. If your place is pet friendly please make sure to keep up with your own rules. The cabins are run down but showers are hot and the utilities are still able to be used

    Lake Chippewa Campground

    Still One of Our Favs

    As we arrived on a Saturday around 1:45 PM, there was quite the line of RVs checking in as most people come in for a week on Saturdays. As we have been here multiple times, we knew not to line up down the narrow road shoot that’s adjacent to the lodge where you check in but stay on the main road. They had plenty of staff on duty, so check-in was fairly quick, and we headed to site 457, which was an easy back-in with FHUs. We were pleasantly surprised we didn’t get site 456 right on the road. When we make a reservation for this campground(CG), you can only pick an area, not a specific site, for most of the sites. This was the first time we’d stayed in this area of mixed short-term and seasonal sites. The FHU facilities were placed in the middle of the gravel-grass site with a picnic table and fire pit. We were able to put out our back patio and have plenty of space to park our F450. There are a lot of mature trees in this park, so satellite is going to be iffy depending on the site. We were able to get an okay shot to the north for Starlink but no chance for the southern sky. You can opt to pay for the park Wi-Fi. The water pressure is good, and we had two bars on Verizon. The staff at the lodge/office is top-notch. We found out that this year’s“watch out” was kids riding electric bikes full out versus underage golf cart drivers of last year, so“watch out” in either case. The CG has been trying to police the lack of parental oversight, but this first-rate CG attacks a lot of families. Though there’s no formal dog park, there are plenty of areas to walk your dog, including the trail up and around the newer primitive camping area. Lake Chip is one of our favs, and we will continue to return.

    Very nice park at a good price

    Second time staying here and it was great. I didn’t get a lakeside spot like the previous stay but it was still great. Clean facilités. Wood and ice available onsite. Beach, boat ramp, dump station, and a great view.

    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.

    Lake Gogebic State Park Campground

    Very unfriendly and disrespectful

    07/02 We pulled up to the office with our RV and a trailer attached with a sxs on.  The girl was nice gave me a map with directions to our campsite and sent us on our way.  At our campsite we disconnected the trailer took off the sxs and set up camp.  We then decided to take a ride because we had forgotten a few things and we were meeting up with my son for the 4th so we thought we would look for trails.  We stopped at the office to see if they had trail maps, when I walked in the girl (Chelsey) slammed the window shut and told me she hated those things. I asked if she had a trail map and all she said was "we have no trails around here." Chelsey needs to take a class in customer service she was very rude.  As we left we saw several other sxs going down the road so we knew there were tails.  We stopped at the Gogebic Lodge and saw they were serving a lobster boil so we decided to go back to get money from the camper as we pulled in there was the camp ranger waiting for us and signaled for us to pull over.  He then told us that sxs were not permitted in State parks.  I told him we go camping in our local state park all the time and they are all over the campground.  His name was Eli and took the time to talk to us and explain and did a great job but that meant we had no means of transportation at all.  I also asked why when we registered or stopped for a trail map were we not told of that rule, he couldn't answer that but agreed we should have been told.  He also stated it was on the website.  Well it is on the state website we booked on the Gogebic State park website.  I feel if state parks are going to have different rules it should be stated on the website you book your stay.  He also said we could park our sxs out by the road and walk to use it but we are both handicapped and we couldn't walk that far.  We felt like prisoners at our campsite we couldn't go and get wood for  a fire or the extra supplies at the store down the road.  Finally on the morning of the 4th i decided I could maybe walk to the office and carry 1 bundle of wood so we could have a fire on the 4th. Our original plan was to meet my son and his family and go to all the different 4th events in the area but we could no longer do that.  When I got to the office the girl there took my money and told me where to grab the wood, she then asked if I was walking and I explained the situation, and she said oh your the one.  But offered to drive the bundle of wood to our site which I thought was very kind.  When I got back to our site we decided to call and see if she could bring a couple more bundles.  I called she asked if I could hold, she put the phone down and I could hear her switching sites for someone then she asked if they needed wood or ice and they took wood and she told them it was last of the wood.  So when she came back to me she said they were out of wood and I told her I had already paid for my wood and that last bundle should have been mine.  I was told to try the store up the road, and that she would be dropping off my money to me.  The store up the road even if she knew I couldn't.  My experience at this campground was very disappointing.  I felt the they did not communicate with us and when they tried to they were rude.  I will never camp here again in fact I will think twice about camping at any state park again.

    Peaceful but beware of mosquitoes

    Loved how peaceful this park was. I stayed at site 40, which backs up to the woods. Site 41 is a little close, but I would still pick this same spot when returning. Bathrooms were clean. HOWEVER, beware of the mosquitoes! They were everywhere in the bathroom making showering intense to be quick. They were so bad that I eventually cut my trip short. Would go back, but later in the year.

    Great spot for water recreation

    This state park has a beach and many sites are on the lake. We've stayed here several times over the years. Our favorite spots are along the lake - we'd drop our canoe in and paddle out for sunset views. Fishing is decent on this big lake. Showers work, most sites have electric (water and dump station are available).

    Beautiful lakeside group site

    We stay at this group site for a week every summer with our extended family and look forward to returning as soon as we pull-out.  The group sites with water access and full hook-ups can't be beat.  Plenty of space for our 4 RV's of various sizes plus tents/easy ups.  Well appointed lodge with a small market and snack bar.  Be aware they do not accept credit cards so plan ahead.

    Lake Chippewa Campground

    One of Our Favorite Campgrounds

    We arrived on a Saturday at about 1:00 PM and there were already quite a few rigs checking in as this campground(CG) focuses on Saturday to Saturday stays. However, our check in was quick due to them having enough competent staff. We were due to stay in the group/overflow(470-478 area) for a week, then move to the 456-460 area for 3 weeks as that was where we requested a site. We were asked to come back mid-week to get our new site assignment and pay for our stay. We headed to back-in site 477 with FHUs. However, when we arrived we found a trailer in the site and our 39’ 5th wheel would be tight in the spot due to the vegetation and trees on both sides. We tried to call the office, but we could not get enough of a Verizon signal. Site 478 was empty so we backed in and disconnected to head to the office. About that time, one of the CG workers came to get the rig in 477 as it was a CG rental. The CG worker had a radio and called the office to get approval for us to switch to site 478. Site 478 was wider plus on the end with some lake view. We did not back in as far into the site as we would have liked due to overhead tree branches. Due to the rig’s position on the site, we needed about 20’ of sewer hose plus the connection is not threaded and sits up about 6 inches making it tough to dump. I used sewer weights to keep my connector in the sewer hole. The 50/30/20 AMP box was not a problem nor was the water spigot that has 2 spigots, which was handy. We were here 2 years ago and stayed in site 452, and got a usable Verizon signal with our WeBoost and MiFi. This was not the case in the 470 area. We did get some random Verizon connectivity as it showed 2 bars but no internet. We decided to try their$2.95 internet connectivity for 24 hours on 2 devices. We connected a cell phone and our Weingard 2.0 and were pleased with the service, so we decided to pay for the monthly service. However, the monthly internet was not nearly as fast as the 24-hour service. We were not sure if this was a coincidence or not. Since our last stay, they had added a primitive/dry camping area and cut down on underaged golf cart driving. The multiple sites that are right on the lake are weekly site rentals with water and electric only but the CG does have a blackwater pump out service, and a dump station. We rented a pontoon boat at a reasonable price compared to other places we’ve visited. Hats off to the great lady(Cathy) in the office who worked hard and kept us in site 478 for our entire stay. This kept us from having to pack up and move, but also kept us closer to friends traveling with us. Overall, this is a well-run CG with a state park feel.

    Copper Falls has always been a hometown place of adventure and respite

    The greenhorn Campsite Inspector get a thumbs down for personality. We cut our weekend short after only one night. We could not take the park admin who was checking campsites. After 3 visits tipped over into what felt like harassment...the rain would have been nicer to deal with. We just packed it up and went home...which is right around the corner. We're local and it's the first time we decided to camp in over 30years. It was a bummer to feel so unwelcomed there. We will continue to enjoy the beautiful surrounding and hope that maybe the staff there learns a few valuable lessons on beside manners.

    Excellent lake resort

    Reel 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!

    Lake Gogebic State Park Campground

    Quiet but not too quiet

    We loved staying at Lake Gogebic!

    There’s a beach a short walk through the campground and the site hosts are super friendly. There are sites that back up to US-64 so I’d recommend the middle or lakeside sites. The sites are also really big!! Park policy says you can either have 1 RV/trailer per site (with an added tent) or as many tents that can fit on the site, which is a great policy IMO. There is also ice for sale at the front of the campground; $2 per bag. There are electricity hookups but they’re spaced out weird so, depending on site, you’ll need a long extension cord to get power to your site.

    I will say there was A LOT of kids around, riding their bikes/scoters/rollerblades and yelling at each other. It was a little annoying but we looked past it; if that’s a dealbreaker, maybe look for a different campground!

    The weather was cool for 2/3 nights we were there so would recommend some warmer clothes and blankets. Not terribly bugging when it’s cooler, but the 1 day it was warmer there were a lot.

    Overall, it was a great stay and if we ever find ourselves up in that area again we would stay again!

    Roomy wooded sites right on Lake Gogebic which is the Upper Peninsula’s largest inland lake. 2 fairly clean bathroom and shower areas, volleyball net, basketball hoop, beach/ swim area, kayaks available, boat launch, walking trails.

    Great North Woods Stay

    We stayed in site 55 which is spacious and it was easy to find a level spot. The sites are nicely spaced, the base is reddish sandy dirt that tracks. We had enough sun access on a fully sunny day to top off the Jackery and phones, not the case with partly cloudy. The shower house is huge and kept very clean. The cell signal at our site came and went but it was stronger in many other locations in the park. Recycling was available for cans and bottles only. Copper Falls is a great place to hike and ideal for riding bikes to access points (which is why we got the bikes!) I was reading Halfway to Heaven and while we weren’t climbing mountains our hike did make me feel a connection with the stories. Arriving I declared I wanted to a bear and an elk. We didn’t see an elk. The first morning a juvenile black bear came into our site lured by the breakfast that was cooked outside. Fortunately due to the concentration of mosquitoes we were eating inside. Turns out it’s the first one in the campgrounds in 10 years! We spent a couple of hours in Ashland and enjoyed our trip, loved our lunch at the brewery!

    Relaxing atmosphere

    First time up to this park, and camping for the weekend. Campsites are very well sized and spaced out pretty good. There are only vault toilets on the north side, but flushing one’s on the south side. There’s a concession stand towards the north end of the park. They sell snacks, park souvenirs, apparel, and ice cream! This is a very family friendly place. All of the campers were super friendly.

    For those looking for some magic in the North Woods…

    This was our first time camping at Copper Falls, we had previously visited for a day trip, completely taken, we knew we needed to return. The Southern campground doesn’t have any electric and mostly for tent campers, there were still some trailers there. We were in the first loop with woods and some hills behind us, wonderful except for the night there was an intense storm. There was really no place to put our tent that wouldn’t have had some water run off. That’s really the only negative thing. The sites themselves are gorgeously wooded and nice sized. Copper Falls is stunningly beautiful and much of the infrastructure was designed by the CCC. The ranger presence is strong which meant quiet hours were enforced. The facilities were clean and kept that way. They really have something special there and it is clear that they know it with the pride and care used to operate this park. Grab an ice cream sandwich from the concession they are locally made and out of this world!

    South Campground- Beautiful

    Beautiful state park. Good hiking, biking & ski trails throughout. Stayed here in late October- shower house closed for season. This review is for the south campground- no connections. Lots of trees. Spacing between sites are good, providing a little bit of privacy. Good well water. Vault toilets are somewhat clean. Campsites very clean. Paved road through campground; gravel site driveways. Friendly & helpful camp host & park ranger. 2 bars T-Mobile. Would stay here again.
