The area features established campgrounds like Chippewa National Forest Campground with wooded sites and lake access, alongside more rustic options such as Sailor Creek and Northside Lake Eleven backcountry sites along the Ice Age Trail.

TravelerI biked into the park and was assisted by the campground host. The swimming area was closed for the season but there was much to see and explore. There was no way to pay in person at the campground. The cost was $27 per night but there was a hefty $10 processing fee. A bit high.
ScoutGreat campground with waterfront and well treed sites. We’re hammockers and found plenty of suitable trees. Firewood was available via vending machine. $6.50 bought a wheelbarrow load of wood. Caretaker was friendly. Only downside was you could hear noise from distant highway and from neighboring private properties but it quieted down during quiet hours. We hiked a section of the Ice Age Trail during our visit. We recommend the campground and the trail.
TravelerI really like this campground, I feel safe as a single person camping with my pups here. The owners are super friendly and the price is very reasonable. There are mostly seasonal here which helps cut back the noise and the crowds.
GuideThe East Fork part of the campground is a beautiful area along the river. The sites are nicely spaced and there are pit toilets located throughout. The animals came alive at night and we could hear coyote packs howling to each other, owls hunting, and the crickets and frogs are still going. September makes for hot days and pretty cold nights, but there was good tree cover, that still allowed to see the ALL the stars. There was plenty of room for the 2 allowed cars. Site 124 is located at the end of a loop with dumpsters nearby, that were empty and clean. A very nice place to spend a couple nights!
ScoutOwner is a big baby and is very rude towards guests, his ego is massive and not family friendly at all.
TravelerNeeded last minute RV space near I-94, and this was more than perfect - it is right off I-94, but placement and trees combined remove the traffic noise. It’s perfect for a family, plenty for kids to do
LegendClean bathrooms, nice showers but they're a dollar for 6 minutes.
TravelerBeautiful city park and campground with very reasonable rates. Most sites have 30 or 50 amp, electric and water as well as walk-in campsites for tents. Park has a rental shelter, dump station frisbee golf a man-made lake for fishing and multiple areas with playground equipment.

Paddling opportunities: Brunet Island State Park Campground offers excellent water access with many non-electric sites directly on the water. "You really feels the outside world woes melt away at this island park on the Chippewa River. Large sites, many right on the water to make launching your kayak easy. Lots of slow moving inlets to paddle into and get lost in nature and fishing if you like," notes Linda T.
Hiking trails: The Ice Age Trail runs through several camping areas in the region, with Eastwood NF Campground providing direct trail access. "Our site had a wooded trail down to the flowage and onto the Mondeaux Esker Trail segment of the Ice Age Trail. The Mondeaux Esker segment was challenging (muddy) but fun," reports Anikka T.
Wildlife viewing: Early morning and dusk offer the best wildlife viewing times around local campgrounds. "Falling acorns, frogs and chipmunks chirping, turtles basking in sunlight and more. The owls at night were a treat (sometimes even scary) to listen to," writes Gerald B. about his experience at Brunet Island State Park.
Site privacy: Lake Wissota State Park Campground receives high marks for separated sites. "Beautiful shaded campground with semi private sites. Nice beach that is a walkable distance from the sites. Lots of walking, biking and horse trails that are full of wild berries," explains Donella L.
Clean facilities: Most developed campgrounds maintain well-kept restrooms and shower facilities. "The bathrooms are amazingly clean and for some reason the whole place was mosquito free! The only done side was that the 'beach' is not real swimmer friendly. No sand at all, lots of rocks," reports Rachel T. about Brunet Island.
Fishing quality: Otter Lake Chippewa County provides outstanding fishing opportunities year-round. "If your looking for a quiet, remote, good fishing camp Otter Lake is the right choice. Beautiful day park for scenic views for a picnic. Private camp sites. Some have private docks. Excellent fishing for Panfish, Bass, and Walleyes," explains Michael M.
Water availability: Some campgrounds have limited or seasonal water access. "One drawback was the water at the campground is shut off due to bad water tests. Plan ahead - there is a glacial spring within driving distance and other federal campgrounds that you might be able to get water from," warns Anikka T. about Eastwood NF Campground.
Site selection strategy: Waterfront sites typically book first but may have less privacy. "Sites are level and paved. 43mbps TMobile and 24mbps Verizon (visible)," notes Scott K. about Medford City Park.

Hookup availability: Chippewa NF Campground offers electric sites with good spacing. "There are tons of sites across three loops, spaced apart with picnic tables, fire pits, and plenty of room. Most sites are level– we were only staying one night and didn't even need to unhook our pickup," reports Amy E.
City park options: Smaller municipal campgrounds can provide excellent services. "30/50 amp on the west side of the street. 30/20 on the east side of the street against the river. Beautiful little city park. Sites are level and paved," explains Scott K. about Medford City Park.
Winter camping limitations: Most campgrounds close for winter, though a few remain open with reduced amenities. "We pulled in on a Sunday night without reservations.
