I 100% agree with Legend Laura about the price of this campground. If it was simply about the location, this would get five plus stars because it's so beautiful! But if you're from out of state, the prices are even more expensive than she indicated previously, so they must have updated them.
The campsite itself is only $16 which is a bargain! But, if you are out of state like we are, there's also a $15 charge for that. And then, that doesn't include admission to the area, so you pay $11 and change for that. It ended up being about $50 total. That said, we paid it and fully enjoyed it but not sure we would do it again unless we had a Wisconsin sticker. At least to alleviate the $11 charge to get in.
All of that out of the way, the site itself is absolutely gorgeous. This park has lots of very mature trees and lots of very mature pine trees, making it very quiet. The spaces are quite distant from one another and we didn't hear our neighbors at all. We were at one of the walk-in campsites which I chose on purpose because it was literally on top of the river, we could sit by the river and wade our toes if we wanted to. It had a fire ring, a very short walk to the bathroom, and only a short distance to the car from the site. Maybe 100 ft plus about 30 stairs to get up to the parking level.
The walk-in sites also double as canoe campsites, so the river is something you can paddle if the water is sufficient to do so. There is a beautiful little picnic area near the bathrooms that sits on the river as well. Vault toilets seemed as clean as they could be, and they are a little fancier than your single vaults. They have stalls and toilet paper!
I highly recommend if you live in Wisconsin visiting this site as it wouldn't cost much at all. Out of towners, it's a bit more pricey.
Scout
Love it clean and quiet affordable and has extra entertainment and events staff is extremely helpful and nice
Traveler
Step out of your RV in the a.m. and smell the pines! Large pull through sites.Wooded, concrete patio, picnic table, fire pit. Very quiet. Large outdoor pool and all sorts of things to do! Across the road is the Resort with a great restaurant and bar. You can also use peddle boats, kayaks, canoes, etc for FREE!!. Or rent a boat or pontoon, which we did. It was a wonderful 4 days and we reserved again for next year.

I've recently gotten into camping. I love it, and love KOAs, I've camped at a few and they're great. My grandson enjoyed the waterslide.
LegendWe drove through this campground and liked it fine, it has a USFS campground feel to it. Very lush and green, lots of trees and nice individual spots. Sites are reservable online or by phone. No pay station at campground, no FCFS sites.
Cost for non-residents is $21 for the campsite and another $11 daily state park entrance fee. So, $32 for the same type of campground as a USFS at about $15. We just couldn’t justify paying that when we knew there were USFS campgrounds nearby. If you’re a resident and/or already have the annual Wisconsin state parks pass, then the cost here is pretty reasonable.
There’s a hand-pump water faucet here, vault toilets, and just outside of the campground is a dumpster and a mixed recycling bin. Each site has a picnic table and fire grill and a cool log bench.
Legend
Typical USFS campground in the Chequamegon NF. First come first served, self pay, no host, very green and lush and private sites.
$15/night. Some sites are pull through. A few are level, but most would be difficult for us to get level enough to be comfortable. Not sure of the length limit here but we had no problems in our 26ft class c. Roads are narrow and the low hanging branches scraped along the top and sides of our rig, but no damage.
There is a trash dumpster here, and even a recycling bin, a nice surprise. There is potable water at the campground (per note at spigot water is safe to drink but will leave rust residue). Vault toilets here as well.
The lake is nice and peaceful and small, and bugs/mosquitos weren’t too bad. There’s a little dock at the lake but you can’t drive your boat down, you have to carry it on foot.
Surprisingly decent Verizon and ATT service. Hardly anybody here. Beautiful and quiet and serene.
ScoutWe stayed over Labor Day weekend on our family’s First RV trip. Nice location and facilities with good amenities. A bit expensive. Quite noisy for our site. The firewood was not very easy to catch fire though.
TravelerThis campground is a child's paradise. We were here with our 5 year old granddaughter. There were activities for her to do all day long. She loved the playground, pool, ice cream, wagon ride and crafts. She made many friends at the playground and pool. There were numerous friend and family groups camping in the same area. I gave this a 4 star because even though it was great for families I felt we were packed together in a tight area. Vehicles didn't fit well in the sites with the campers and/or tents. We had 2 vehicles and we did make it work.
ScoutAwesome spot for kids! Lots for them to do. Sites are kinda close but landscape is great! I’ll be going back!!
Scout
Was looking forward to camping there and renting a four seater but unfortunately they decide to go seasonal. Truly truly sad. 
ScoutReel 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!
ScoutWe enjoyed having all the amenities on-site. The staff were friendly and professional, the concession restaurant was good and affordable.
GuideWe had a walk in site here. There was another walk site somewhat near us but they were very quiet. It was a nice wooded spot and a nice base camp for our nearby exploring. Nearby access to the river was also nice on hot days.
ScoutIf you looking for a great ATV campground or looking for a campground under $1500, this is hte place to go! Lots to do near by Legion 1.3 miles away and a great cafe as well across the street. Ice is in expensive and so is firewood, basic camping, small playground and a basketball court going in. Owner is friendly and helpfu! Looking forward to 2022!
Traveler
This campground meets all your needs with electric, water, sewer, laundry, shower rooms; even a pool.
Unfortunately it appears the place is winding down it’s tenure and it’s reflected in the “curb appeal” and infrastructure.
Friendly staff at office.
ScoutGreat campsites right on the water with a good amount of space. Also some are some what private. There is a playground and volleyball area. Flush toilets showers and wood sold on site... everything you need. Swimming boating and fishing are all available too.
ScoutRude , drinking , disrespect, not child ( ren) friend , non seasonal camper your done for it you make one wrong move
ScoutNot children friendly . Seasonal campers extremely rude . Owner seems to drink alot at check in and comes to talk to you drunk in the campground .
Story ....8 campground & our children playing in the sand at the new volleyball court ( ages 5-11) children being children were running under the net pulling on it . " yes our child " found out a Adult female that was a seasonal Camper was screaming at my 5 year old granddaughter and the adult stuck her tongue out at her. All the children were in our eye view the whole time. When my granddaughter started to not listen and kept pulling on the net we asked her to come up to the campground. As we were singing Happy Birthday and eating birthday cake the owner of the campground came in drunk and forcefully and said that only our children ruin the net which is false and we try to explain that. He would not listen to a word we told him because these are seasonal children and seasonal people talking to him. After my daughter got upset and told them off he told us to pack up our blank and leave his campground. So at 8:30 p.m. we we packed up 4 campers children and a newborn and we started our 2 hour and 45 minute ride home. We also did not get a refund for the night that we did not stay and the net was fine all he needed to do was pull the strings and the net would be tight again. As we were pack the owner and all the seasonal camper watched or were hiding behind campers watching us .
Be care if you dont hsve a seasonal site ..no respect from anyone .
Scoutgreat place water sewer electric sites. very quiet campground
LegendThis campground stretches along the forest road. The sites range in style but we found nicely wooded spots - perfect for keeping the dog’s eyes distracted from others passing by. Nearby are places to launch canoes. We also saw a rental company in town if you don’t have your own gear. A fish hatchery is on the way in to camp - a clear sign of the passion for fishing in this area. We recommend Angie’s Bakery for a treat. It’s just down the road. Covid is still requiring you to reserve online here but it can be done same day too.
Guide
It’s a small campground, not a lot of campsites. There is electric and water service available. The hosts will pump your tanks for a $10 fee. The Thorneapple River is a sleepy, winding river. There are campsites right on the river. You can float or wade in it; it’s shallow and refreshing. Great little secret campground. Stores are about 7 minutes away.
GuideWanoka is a quiet campground just off the Hwy 2. It has a nice little trout pond and is a good place to teach the younger kids fishing skills. It is however not ideal for young ones who like to play as there is no playground.
Guide
This is a quiet campground in the middle of nowhere. The campground is intended to be used as campers that ride horses can stay at. People who camp in tents or small trailers will also enjoy this quiet place. There are many miles of trails that can be ridden on horseback. It is a very clean campground especially if you want a quiet place. Also spacious campsites.
ScoutAwesome place to just relax and kick your feet up for a get away!
Guide
A few friends of mine got together one weekend to camp at Porcupine Lake Wilderness. Overall, it was a beautiful place to camp. This particular weekend, it snowed and words could not describe how amazing it was. Complete isolation and a relaxing setting made our trip extra special. I would recommend if you are into adventure. Would go back.
Traveler
Really enjoyed this place! It’s connected to miles of trails for multiple uses like mountain biking, hiking, running, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and winter fat biking. Staff is very polite and helpful. Cabins are a nice size for parties of 6, and sites are somewhat private. Rustic campground with flush toilet, and personal enclosed shower rooms. Sauna was a nice option after a day on the trails. Will definitely be returning!
TravelerLove all this campsite has to offer with amenities! Beautiful area as well. But there are alot of trees that make it very challenging for larger rigs. There are a handful of sites that would be easy to access, I recommend calling first. We have a 43ft 5th wheel.
