We camped here many times in my childhood. Beautiful forest, boating, dam views along the Wisconsin River.
Scout
We found this place this summer and it’s the only camping I want todo. Weather we stay in Wisconsin or not I’ll be back!
Legend
This campground is near Townsend. If this one s full just continue down the road to Boulder Lake Campground.
We liked the diversity of campsites. You can find your own space and even add in some shade. Vault toilets and water can be found. Garbage bins are here too. The boat launch gives you access to the peaceful Boot Lake. We aren’t into fishing but liked that hiking isn’t too far. The Quartz Hill Trail is a bit of a drive past Townsend.
This is a peaceful respite in the Wisconsin woods.
ScoutVery nice campground, more family-oriented. The campsites were clean and spacious, we had enough room in our site for a tent, screen tent, and a boat. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Showers were free, which is a plus. The beach was a nice size, water was clean. Hiking trails were ok, routing throughout the park. Not very long, only one to two miles per trail, but well maintained. There were beautiful views along the Wisconsin River, would probably be a nice stretch for canoeing or kayaking. The only downfall was the poor fishing on Alexander Lake. The park office didn't have much information on the fishing in the lake, and we only caught one smallmouth the whole weekend.
LegendStayed here one night while driving home from Lake Superior. I found this to be a pricey evening as you have to pay for a day use fee as well as a camping fee. But, it was all in all a nice campground. The shower house was clean, the campsites were wooded and well spaced out, and there were a couple of trails that went from the campground to the beach, boat ramps, or in the opposite direction, just nice walking/hiking trails. There seemed to be plenty of spots along the Wisconsin River or on Alexander Lake to fish if that’s your thing and you have a license. You can buy firewood up front at the ranger station. The park road went behind my campsite between me and the river, but it wasn’t too noisy as it was set back about 100 yards from the campground and there were plenty of trees to break the noise.

We stopped here for a quick overnight pit stop on our way from Minneapolis to our final destination camp site in Rowleys bay , Door county, Wisconsin.
We were in a bind & needed something last minute but we still had specific wants.....like privacy!
Their online reservations were easy. Pics of the sites were clear. Electric hook up & a great rate!
This camp is well off the beaten path , narrow windy roads abound. But all paved & no traffic. In fact, we never saw a soul.
The drive is lovely thru the Nicollet State forest. Although, you will lose service & it your relying on GPS directions, you’ll find yourself in a bind like us. But we got out our trusty map & winged it. Cell service kicked in just in time & we made it!
Check in was a breeze. The gal was lovely & helpful. You will need a Wisconsin park’s admission sticker. The drive is still a 2.2 mile trek beyond the check in building. Our site was perfect. It was lush, green, & private . Well sized, easy to find, part grass, part gravel. Picnic table & fire ring. If you need it , they have a few bathroom buildings peppered around the loop & a very well kept shower & bathroom building upon entering the campground. I’m telling you, this place is PRIVATE. It is out there.. but still very well maintained. We were impressed by that.
If anyone one else was camping , we didn’t know until we walked the dogs around the loop. Our site was surrounded by forest & the dogs were able to roam our site freely. There were mosquitoes, as it was slightly humid & rained a bit. But nothing mosquito spray couldn’t handle. FYI- if you have kids they will be bored. There is no playground that we saw. But if you just want some peace & quiet - this is the place for you! Most of the campers were older retirees. It looked like there were trails to explore but since it was a quick stay, we didn’t get a chance. We plan on coming back for sure & checking it out. For reference: We have a 19ft travel trailer & a ford truck. We stayed at site 19 , it is pull in & it was perfect,with plenty of room for everything. We took a walk to be nosy &also liked site 20, it was even bigger! Site 14 looked great for a pull thru site. There were also some much larger sites for bigger rigs. There also plenty of tent sites that looked great too. Dogs are welcome. As an added bonus- there were raspberry bushes everywhere! They were just coming in , but if you catch it right. You’ll be up to your eyeballs in fresh raspberries.. yum!

We were at site 25. Lots of wet swampy areas around this site. If it were hot, I would imagine a lot of mosquitos. If you forget something, you are better off going to Laona than Wabeno. Nice bike trail. Too shallow to fish off the shore by our site. Does have a grate over there fire for cooking. ZERO WiFi and cell service
LegendThis campground is east of Laona. It’s a nice drive out here passing some local homes along the way. The road to the lake is just for the campground. There is a boat launch and picnic area before the campsites. We liked the sites that are lakeside. The road rises so you are elevated above the lake. It’s an interesting perspective. The woods side sites are nice too. You get plenty of shade and privacy. When we showed up the lakeside sites were filled leaving many of the woods side. The drawback might be that the sites directly across from each other but that is adaptable.
We loved the secluded feeling out here.
GuideWe had a good time Cause we were together. We didn't like it here though
GuideThis is a great campground in the north woods. It is rustic, so limited services. It is small, just one road with a handful of campsites on it. We had one noisy neighbor who played their car radio loudly all afternoon, but other than them, it was quiet and peaceful. The lake is electric motors only, so boat traffic is quiet, and there are minimal private properties on the lake. It is flat between the campsite and the lake, so easy to access the water from your campsite.
ScoutIf you are looking to get away and relax then this is the campground to go to. This campground is located between Wabeno and Laeno, in the Nicolet National Forest. Most of the camp sites are waterfront with views or lake access to Bear Lake. Some sites are located on a ridge along the lake with stairs leading down to the water.
Camp sites are large and private. There is drinking water and pit toilets. The pit toliets were the cleanest I have ever used. Firewood is available just a few miles away. There is a Biking/Hiking trail that accesses the Rat River Trail.
The beach is nice size with a roped off swimming area that has plenty of space for the kids to swim and explore.
Kayaking, fishing and swimming are the best activites for this campground.
I would have given it five stars if it had showers but then again if it had showers it wouldnt be a rustic campground.
TravelerThe setting for this campground is so pristine and beautiful. Small and secluded this campground sits on the edge of bear lake and little cub lake is a short walk or drive from there.
TravelerWe have been camping here twice this year & absolutely love it! Rustic with no electric hook-ups. There is a pump for drinking water. The sites are large & private with a few waterfront sites. Vault toilets are available. The lake has a swimming area & beautiful Sandy beach & is perfect for fishing, swimming and kayaking. Laona is just a short drive for gas, and food.
Guide
Nice and quiet campground, little cool for weather while we were there but so peaceful. Linda was so nice in the office and really helpful, purchased firewood and so nice that they delivered. Would recommend and will stay again. Thanks for the wonderful week.
GuideLocated down a quiet paved road just 2 miles outside of town. You are close to the action but dont have to listen to it.
Some sites are tight/close and others you could turn around in. Most are fairly level or it doesnt take much to make your camper level. Very little grass at site but you get a picnik table and a fire pit. Wood must be bought at the store but pay attention to the hours as they close early. Plenty of mosquitoes but you are in the woods. Daytime they arent too bad.
Bathrooms were very clean.
Full hookups, no wifi or at least we couldnt find it. Dogs are welcomed , no barking allowed. Cell phone service was good so you can work if you have too. AT&T and Verizon.
Passport America discount honored for 7 days and Coast to Coast.
Plenty of rules but we will have this on our return list.
TravelerI truly wish I could give Zero stars for this park. The park itself is in a nice location, but the manager has clearly chosen the wrong career path. We had nothing but electrical issues the entire time we stayed there in a very hot part of summer and the managers answer to the problem when I brought it to her attention was, “don’t run the a/c if you’re having issues, no one else seems to have a problem!” On top of that there is a sign forbidding just about everything you can think of posted everywhere at this park....save your time and go elsewhere.
GuideThe campground was peaceful. A little dated and the websites amenities were a little stretch. Beautiful lake access with small beach. Has heated swimming pool but was closed for season. Does have a wildlife school across the road with free trails you can walk.
ScoutFound this beautiful campground while exploring the lakes in the area. We had an awesome campsite with access to the lake right from our site. Spent several hours kayaking & fishing on Boot Lake, along with several other lakes in the area.
Be sure to get you firewood & ice in town, as there is none available in the campground.
GuideAll around good campground. Sites weren’t too close to each other and were at a normal level of seclusion. Beach and fishing area
TravelerA group of us stayed at Boot Lake campground in the end of July. Normally this campsite takes reservations but for 2020 it’s strictly first come, first serve. We lucked out and managed to snag one of the better sites (#14) on the lake. While there are roughly 8 actual lake sites, if you’re there to go canoeing or kayaking, 13-16 are probably the best options for that, though there were several motor boats tied up along the shore of some of the other sites. Be aware the lake is very popular for water activities so if you’re looking for a calm quiet location for fishing or canoeing, you’re mostly limited to mornings and evenings.
There is a trail that goes along the lakeshore and if you follow it going clockwise, you’ll find a rope swing for jumping in to the lake.
Fair warning, both campsites we were at had poison ivy around them so watch out. Also they have just finished clean up following the storm in 2019 so some of the campsites are a bit more open than I imagine was intended, particularly in sites away from the lake. Though there was a lot of standing water and a fairly large swamp across the road, mosquitoes were not bad at all.
Overall, it’s a great campground and we would return.
TravelerOverall nice place. Sites are spacious, a little too close together for my taste. Other campers were quiet and friendly however. Pit toilets hadn’t been cleaned in almost two weeks.
GuideBoot lake is actually the shape of a boot. It provides some decent fishing from shore but excellent fishing from a boat. The beach is nice and the location is nicely nestled in the Nicolet National Forest near the town of Townsend and Lakewood.
GuideEven though I am from the town of Townsend, which is about 5 miles from boot lake, this has always been my favorite campground, with hiking trails that aren't usually that busy to a beach you can relax on, it is the perfect place to spend a weekend, or week for that matter. Bring your kayak/canoe and enjoy the lake after wake hours also!
Scout
The most beautiful showers and amenities I've seen camping so far! We are fairly new campers but this place wowed us! On our list of where we'd like a seasonal site!
Scoutwe had about 15 kids and anything they did she would yell at them , the out houses on the property we the worst smelling ones i have ever encountered, they were filthy and have not been cleaned in months the toilet seats are cracked and are about 10+ years old the stinch would roam over to all of our campsites and would just about make you puke, the miniture golf coarse should be free it has not been swept off all season and is in need of major repairs , out of about 10 games in the game room 4 worked
GuideClean, friendly staff, not trying to nickel and dime you for everything. Reasonable prices, good services.
ScoutNice and shady. Sights have space. Pool, showers, dump station, mini golf and other activities. Camp fire wood was nice and dry at a good price. Vary hilly.
