"The site was very nice and had buffers all around, with only a neighbor to one side. We chose 61 because on the map it appeared close to the bathrooms and park."

$50 - $80 / night

There is a communal parking area with a few of the cabins in sight."

$15 / night

"Loved the hike in, decided to walk the whole loop and unfortunately the bridge at the end was under water and we had to turn around and walk back instead."
"There was access to the lake from our campsite."
"Beautiful view on the lake and great access to the water from the campsite. Since it is located on the top of a hill, little windy at times."

TravelerFirst of all we tent camped…
The first night we stayed on the west side campground and the mosquitoes and flies were pretty bad, along with some people running a generator from 11pm to well past 8am…
We left and went to the east side and found a spot along the lake. Mosquitoes and flies were so bad that our dogs faces were getting bloody and bug spray and a fire did nothing for us. We packed up and canceled our whole trip after that.
Had to give 3 stars because it would be a great place in the fall when the bugs aren’t so bad. If that’s possible?
Also love the private sites on the east side.
TravelerI celebrated my birthday weekend at Herons Retreat in the beginning of June and had a fantastic time.
My wife and I grabbed firewood from the visitor center and parked at boat launch #9 which made for a quick 15-20 minute paddle to the campsite depending on how much gear we brought along.
The boat in site was clean and easy to identify with a fire pit/grate and 2 wooden chairs with plenty of tall trees to hang food and garbage from.
We came across plenty of wildlife including herons as well as deer, turtles, wild turkey, and loons while hiking and paddling around the reservoir.
Overall a great balance of easy access and privacy on a vibrant reservoir.
TravelerThere are 3 sites each with a table, fire pit, a toilet pit and right off the brooke. The cost is $5 a night to be paid at Wheeler Walker Beach. The first site, east side, is a pull in right off the road with the pit and table a few steps down from the parking pad. The second site is a pull through facing west right off the road. The easements were a little washed out. The third site is a deep, large site away from the road facing west, with a bad easement. There was some occasional traffic on the main road and a quite a few UTVs.
No one else was here so we chose the third site away from the road. The only con we found to this site was the easement was really washed out and we bottomed our minivan coming in but were able to leave going out on the far right edge. The site is so spacious and could easily be for a large group.
GuideThe park is nice, but a little underwhelming. Nice sites - both back-up and pull-thru. Bathrooms and showers were excellent. There are also pit toilets in the loops. We found so many ticks on us!! Be careful! Camp store really only has wood and ice and T-shirts. Would be a great park if you had a boat. Once in the water at the beach, the water turns black (ugh). Really expensive for out-of-Staters. Cost me about $100 for 2 nights (because of Wisconsin Parks car pass).
Guide4x4 recommended. 2wd truck couldn't make it easily.
GuideTent and some pull through sites spaced down the road. Maybe 4-6 total
ScoutThe CG was very clean with clean pit toilets. Upper and lower. Lower was near river. Nice trail along river to falls. Water pump by site 1 in upper area. Good base area for fishing the Pike river.
GuideWinter camped here, was a nice spot pic nik table, fire ring, wilderness toilet. There is hiking trail access from campsite,but no water access to butternut lake or it would have been 5 star. There is access down the road.Did get one bar of cell (cricket) full with 20 foot ant. Note I've been through here in summer and the road is gravel very dusty from traffic.
GuideAs of this writing, 2024, they have recently installed new showers and flush bathrooms. I live near this campground, so I have stayed at almost every site in the park. If you cant have or don't want a lake site, site #4 is the largest. It is almost 35 yards across the front. Trees are growing back, but not many mature trees on the East of the park. There is a really nice beach area adjacent to, but not in the campground. It is a nice short walk. Each site has electric hookup, and some sites have more than one box. Not much ambient light in this park, so it is great for viewing stars and Northern Lights. This park also is situated near the ATV trail, and has access to the 160 mile Blue Ox trail system.
