Chapman Park Campground
Nice views clean camp ground
We are passing through off highway 94 needed a place to park the camper for the night. We pulled in on Saturday over Labor Day weekend and the campground is only half full so this is a great spot for those folks just passing by. Guaranteed to have an opening.
Campground is on a peninsula so bugs are bad at night. Paved roads and nice grass. Shower facilities are older but clean. There is a lighted park for kids to play at night and plenty of fishing.
Also they have 20-30-50amp hook ups with a dump and water

Eastwood NF Campground
Dark nights and quiet
Sites are well spread out, you barely notice they are other sites nearby. Dark and quiet at night. We didn’t get a chance to check out the Dam Lodge but were able to walk the Ice Age Trail which was just a path along the waters edge and was swampy in most areas. There are a couple of Pit toilets and a hand pump for water The pit toilets were tolerable to use( didn’t gag you)

Nice little campground with dump station and water. Most sites are electric although some of the power posts are not conveniently located. There is noise from Hwy 70 also but the sites are paved and only $20 a night.

Morris Erickson County Park
Small campground
Well used county park on a nice clear lake. The sites are close together with little privacy and close to the road which is noisy during the morning and evening but quiets down at night. Lots of kids! Nice to see families camping and having fun! Swimming, fishing, riding bikes, playground. Clean bathrooms (at least the women’s). Not our cup of tea but fine for a one night stopover. Loons calling at night and in the morning!

Pretty average
Very no frills camp site. Sites are decently sized, has some good views. It's missing a sculley.

O'Neil Creek Campground
Beautiful
Really enjoyed the experience! It’s beautiful and good mix of quiet and lots of activity’s. Can tube down the creek, very shallow so even littles can do it too. Site 133 was super small, so much so I thought he was kidding. Saw site 204 was open and switched to that one instead. Dogs welcome which was super nice!

Brunet Island State Park
Cozy campground with water focus
Enjoyed this island campground. There is a RV focused and a tent focused camping loops. This is a nice location for fisherman and kayaks/canoes. There are a few hiking trails that are loaded with mosquitoes (given the location and amount of water). There is a small beach to play in the water, playground and ball field. The bathrooms are nicely kept but dated. Great location to go with kids.

Free rustic campground
Relatively primitive sites, large pile of firewood available. Pit toilets

Great!
Great camp site, the ground was a little rocky so it was a little difficult to get the stakes in but we were able to get them in. Hiking trail right next to the campsite. Bathrooms and showers are nearby as well. Great place to stay!

Great find! Small yet only us and one tent couple camping. Toilets clean. Water and electric … so score! Close to restaurants and taverns. Recommend for a quick getaway!

Brunet Island State Park
Best state park I’ve been to!
Stayed here on a east/west camping trip. Beautiful state park. Sites are shaded and large. Big enough that we were able to tie out 2 large dogs each on 30 ft leads. The park has a bicycle path that walkers can also use that’s along the river. Our site backed up to the bicycle path with the river behind us. Great place to walk. Staff and hosts very friendly and helpful. Don’t be alarmed when you drive by a school and housing area to get to it! The park also has an off leash dog park. I wasn’t able to check that out though but have wished state parks would consider adding. Bathrooms extremely clean with the best state park showers Ive ever used (and I mostly camp at state parks across the US). If I get back to this area I would definitely camp here again.

Brunet Island State Park
Quiet, clean SP
We camped here the end of August. When I booked our site the state park website showed it as the only available site for our 4 day stay. So we booked the 4th night at a different site, same park. However, no one ever came into the original site. We also noticed this occurred with some other sites that were vacant during our entire stay. I’m sure not the parks fault. In state folks (we are out of state so paid more) don’t mind the cancellation fee or book way out and then change. Very frustrating when you have to move your camper for one night. Staff very nice. Flush toilets and bathhouse very clean. Showers with hot water and good water pressure. Sites are wooded and good size. Only complaint is the dirt base all around the campsites (very little grass due to the shade). We are from VA and most state parks have gravel pads. Nice walking trails. Didn’t see the picnic/swim area as dogs weren’t allowed anywhere there. They do have one fishing kayak. Not very good for shore fishing. Not thrilled with site #6 but site #22 was great with a nice view of the lake.

Favorite little spot
I absolutely love this little campground it's close to my grandparents & close to do much more all while being away from too much

Twin Springs Resort Campground
I mean, it’s alright
Road splits the campground kind of annoying. Bathrooms were pretty gross. Camped on the opposite side of the road as the bathrooms and the sites were big, not sure about the other side

Myron County Park
Great spot, friendly hosts
Nice spot to camp. Clean bathrooms and showers. Usually super busy in the summer and big family gatherings, but spots in the back are quiet

Pine Point County Park
Nice place to camp
Have only been here in the fall (late Sept and Oct) and there were only a few other people in the park. Bring your own wood this time of year, no one was around to buy it from. Sites are nice and wooded

Chinty Lake Roadside Camp
Literally roadside camp
This is literally just a roadside pull off not really a campsite (and the road was kinda busy), two girls traveling did not feel comfortable spending the night here and went somewhere else
Mike R.GuideLake Wissota State Park
Solid Campground with Pizza and Beer close by
So I love goin to this campground. It has nice lakeside sites on a bluff above the water and they are fairly well laid out. There is a trial along the bluff connecting the two main loops of the campground. Showers and restrooms work, but are showing their age. They are scheduled to be rebuilt in the next couple of years...hopefully. One of the best parts of this is its proximity to breweries. Not talking Lienies, that's generally ok beer, but the Brewing Projekt, that's amazing beer. It's in downtown Eau Claire, but worth the drive. Also, if you want pizza, which is something we like to do on the day we arrive Chippewa Falls has pretty much anything you need within 20 of the campground. Nice hiking and biking trails as well. I've camped here in Spring, Summer and Fall and multiple sites.

Brillant campground
Lake is huge with alot to explore. Not an overabundance of boat traffic. Camp facilities are brand new. Sites a level, plenty of shade. Hiking trails are awesome.

Otter Lake Chippewa County
Bass fishing
Pros: Fishing was awesome. Lots of largemouth bass. Really good size. Roughly 15”-18” bass that are 3-4lbs. Healthy and chunky. Caught a few walleyes. 20” plus size. Just gotta find them with your fish finder.
Cons: Watch out for logs. Lots of tree stumps in shallow areas. Very green water. Low water clarity.
Overall, it’s a great lake to fish. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent placeYou
New facilities and hot showers. Great hiking trails, mountain biking. Equestrian trails also. Lake is huge, walleye are prevalent. Kayaking is great with other boat ramps available. Sites heavily wooded, low noise and light pollution. Easy access to all activities.

What you should know
