Best Campgrounds near Gordon, WI

510 Reviews

Gordon, Wisconsin provides camping access to several waterways and natural areas of northern Wisconsin. Gordon Dam County Park and North View Campground offer established camping in the immediate vicinity, with sites suitable for tents, RVs, and some cabins. The region includes rustic camping at Gordon Dam near the Gordon Flowage, plus additional options within a 30-minute drive at Totogatic Park, Lucius Woods County Park, and Amnicon Falls State Park. These camping areas range from basic sites with vault toilets to developed campgrounds with electric hookups, showers, and some water access.

Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from May through September or October, with limited winter camping at select locations. Visitors find varying levels of amenities, from primitive sites with basic facilities to developed campgrounds offering electric, water, and sewer connections. Reservations are recommended for weekend stays during summer months, particularly at popular waterfront locations. Sites at Gordon Dam and other water-adjacent campgrounds tend to fill quickly during peak season. Campers should note that mosquitoes can be abundant in the heavily wooded areas. As one camper noted about a nearby state park, "Amazing hiking and water play... Very clean and large shower/restroom facilities... Negative: MOSQUITOS!!!! Bring bulk bug spray or extra blood."

The Gordon area's camping experience is defined by its proximity to rivers, lakes, and forests. Waterfront sites provide opportunities for fishing, paddling, and wildlife viewing. Many campgrounds in this region of Wisconsin feature spacious, wooded sites that offer good privacy between neighbors. A camper described Amnicon Falls State Park as having "private feeling camp sites" that are "very clean and quiet" with hiking trails leading to waterfalls. The region attracts visitors seeking outdoor recreation on the Gordon Flowage and nearby rivers. North View Campground (formerly Adventureland) provides both tent and RV camping with modern amenities, while state and county parks like Totogatic offer more rustic experiences surrounded by northern Wisconsin's pine forests.

    Barnum City Park

    This entire section of the dirt needs to be cleaned up

    There's a sign that says no camping, and there are no rv spots. Or camp spots at this park. Some things in this area are listed twice the g. PS takes you to the wrong place. And something like the city park doesn't allow camping.

    Carlton County Bear Lake Campground

    Very small park on freeway

    I believe I only saw 3 full R. V electric spots. It is literally right beside the freeway. I would not personally feel comfortable camping here as a female traveler alone. I also think this is listed twice and I will try to correct that.

    Dago Lake

    God's Country

    Free dispersed camping off Dago Lake Road between Willow River & Sturgeon Lake. Quiet aside from the occasional car. Pitch black at night.

    FlowMama Trail Head Dispersed

    Free parking, no water, no gray dump, no trash.

    This is the trailhead for a very beautiful mountain biking trail and the roads that lead up to this area are incredibly gorgeous especially in the fall. The red building in the pictures is an emergency cabin. You can go in it and look around if you want. It's not at the trailhead, it's about 10 minutes from it on your way in.

    North Country Campground

    Expensive but nice

    Owners are very nice, greet you upon arrival, very helpful. Bathroom/shower is very nice. Trampoline & playground on site. Close to the highway so a lot of traffic noise until about midnight. People fly down the road even though the speed limit is 20mph. 3 minutes from Willow River, 45 minutes to Cloquet & Pine City.

    Afterhours Meadow

    Quiet but rough terrain

    Nice little field. Would be great if the groud wasn't all sticks and thorns. Good place to sleep. Not for extended camping

    Eagle Point Park

    Quiet lake campground

    I stayed here one night while traveling. The bathrooms seemed fire. I could not find a dumper on site. There is a dump station. Plenty of tent only camping areas. All sites require some leveling. Some of the sites have water hookups. Lots of people use the park during the day. It was very quiet at night.

    There is a coffee shop about a 20 minute walk from the park. There is a public swimming beach less than a 10 minute walk from the park.

    You might be able to get a large rig into the first few spots. But if you try to drive the loop around to the other sites, you might not make it. But I did not have trouble in my 25 foot motor home.

    I had great 5G signals from Verizon and T-mobile here.

    Perch Lake Recreation Area

    4 Night Stay

    We reserved site #4 on the North Loop at Perch Lake Campground - a wonderful place to stay. The sites are relatively private, some have little pathways connecting them. Our site was flat but gravel. Had direct access to the water, which made this site perfect for Kayaking. It appeared most sites had an access point to the water. There’s also a boat launch. There are pit toilets, which were clean and maintained. Downside is there are no showers, have to drive a while to find some. The campground is quiet and provides a relaxing environment. The stars are beautiful at night. No T-mobile cell service within 20 minutes.
