      Lake Chippewa Campground

      Lake Chip Continues to Please

      Our RV GPS wanted to take us through Hayward city central to the campground (CG), which was fine. However, as this was our fourth time staying at Lake Chippewa Campground, we stayed on Hwy 77 past the Walmart to hook up on Hwy 63 at the casino to avoid traffic and stoplights in Hayward. We arrived with no issues and during check-in we were delighted to find out we had other site options than the pull throughs for our 12 night stay. We had changed our reservations to an earlier date, and the only open sites at the time were pull throughs, which are not bad. However, there are much better sites in this CG. We were provided a map of available sites and a golf cart to check out sites. As we know this CG well, it was a no brainer for us to chose back-in site 460 with FHUs. The regulars who normally stay in this site had gotten an opening in one of the CG's permanent site areas. We happily proceeded to our site and had no problems backing in. The hook ups are in the middle of this long pad. Water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We did not opt for their Wifi, which you have pay for and later found out it doesn't work in this area anyway. We got 1 bar on Verizon and the signal was basically useless. There are a lot of mature trees in this CG and in this site in particular. We put our Starlink on the roof and we were able to get a usable signal. We would rather have a nice site with privacy than wifi or a phone signal. This site sits well off the road and has a large back yard area. Lake Chip is a large private CG but has a state park feel. They have lots of amenities such site side trash pickup, laundry, boat/kayak rentals, golf cart rentals, propane, and the list goes on. Eat at Powell’s on Round Lake about 15 minutes away on Co Hwy C towards Hayward. Good food and service.

      Wonderful RV resort!

      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.

      South shore Lakeside

      Site with fire pit (no grate), nice picnic table, and the amazing sound of waves. By late August, direct views of lake is obscured by beach grass but still just as delightful. Sites were close but our neighbors never showed so we lucked out. I loved that as a tent camper, we were placed further away from the RVs and the noises that can go with them. Site 6 was close to the path for all in the rest of the campground to get to the beacb. Nicely tended bathrooms just across the road with showers.

      Wind gusts took our 8 person tent down while we were out during the day. Since it was my first time here, no idea of that kind of wind is typical or if it was the season or day.

      The sunsets were unbeatable!! And we lucked out catching the northern lights our first night.

      Great Experience

      The other reviews says it all but this site #6 was a back in and plenty of room for our setup. Has pit toilets that were clean with air fresheners hanging in them, Very nice boat landing, running water is near the Dumpsters and on a timer push the button and it runs for approximately 10 seconds and automatically shuts off. We enjoyed this place.

      Wild escape

      Such a hidden gem! The spots were so spacious and private, we found availability on a weekend in August very last minute, and the lake was so peaceful! Seems like it's mostly used for fishing and kayaking and canoeing. Very very quiet area - felt somewhat like boundary waters. Loved that sites had their own water access as well! Just really great for it's price tag as well

      Very RV resort style - pretty close together sites and not a lot of privacy . There are some sites in the back loop that seem more spacious and secluded! The lakeside sites have great views though! And nice showers. We were passing thru and the FCFS campgrounds were all full so this was a fine option close to Bayfield!

      Remote & Quiet

      This campground is on a flowage lake. Bring everything that you'll need because it's a long, dusty drive back to the highway! The well was closed or out of order during our stay. But you wouldn't want to drink the well water as it's very high in manganese and not to be consumed by kids or over 60s. Almost zero cell service here. Some folks were able to make calls from the beach area, we didn't even try. However, we were adequately prepared and totally enjoyed our week. Reading, etc.

      Super pretty!

      Loved the view. We had a lakeside tent site. Campsites aren’t that spread out. We had a good amount of space but we could easily hear the neighbors and was annoying late at night. There are some outhouses and ADA restrooms/showers. We were 15 minutes from Meyer’s Beach, which was great. Lakeside tent sites are right by the beach. Beach was rocky - bring a pair of crocs or similar shoe if you’re sensitive to the rocks and branches in the sand. Water was cool and felt great!

      We are just finishing up a six night stay at this nice little campground. All nine sites are full hookup and are just $35 a night. A very clean park and underutilized. We were the only campers for 4 of the six nights and just one other the other two nights. The sites overlook the Flambeau river and there is a nice walking trail alongside the river. We enjoyed our stay.

      Saw a deer walking through camp. Nearby brewery was a nice treat! Sites we stayed at were pull through sites with full hook ups. A picnic table and fire pit is provided at each campsite and we were able to stay next to friends we were traveling with (specified we would like neighboring sites when we made the reservations). Nice amount of tree cover at our sites. The road into the campground was nice and smooth. There is also a small playground, bathrooms, and sanitary dump site in the campground.

      Open field layout

      We drove through here, thinking we’d like to stay here, but decided not to. The campground is basically just an open field. It seems like this is a popular place for locals to come for fishing and hanging out on the lake. It’s really close to town, which is nice, but we just didn’t like the layout and we kept going. We saw some power pedestals in the field, and a dump station close to the main road. 

      We didn’t see a potable water fill area, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Firewood available for sale across the street. Showers available for guests only.

      Boise Brule Campground — Brule River State Forest

      Nice, too expensive

      We 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.

      Wanoka Lake Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

      Standard USFS campground

      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.

      Great when visiting Bayfield / the Apostle Islands

      This is a first come first served city campground, which is a good thing because each site is so different that it would be difficult to make a good choice in advance. Some sites are difficult/ impossible for RVs and some are fine. We are in a 26ft class c and felt really big- they have a 30ft max limit for RVs. Some (I believe 18& 19?) are grouped together so they would make a good choice for friends and family camping together. There are also some primitive tent walk-up sites.

      Nice campground, $30/night, can pay online when you arrive. Good cell reception. Most, if not all, sites have 30 and 20 amp service. There are no water or sewer hookups here, and no dump station. No showers. There are a couple of trash dumpsters throughout the campground but no recycling. There are water spigots throughout the campground too (not for filling RV tanks, but for filling water jugs).

      Easy walk to town, not quite a mile, and there is a sidewalk for most (not all) of the way. There are some nice walking paths around the campground, with benches positioned to view each of the Apostle Islands. 

      Mosquitos were surprisingly not too bad here. We had a really pleasant and relaxing night’s stay here. The town of Bayfield is really cute and the ferry rides to the islands are a must.

      City Park

      Very nice and clean city park, right in town on the main road. The sites are all open and have zero privacy between them, but there was still a calm friendly vibe at the park (usually wide open campgrounds feel chaotic and messy to me). 

      FHU sites are $35/night, power only is $25, tents are $15. Pull through sites to your left as you come in, and to the right is a loop with back in sites. 

      Dumping fee for non-campers is $15, a bit higher than most places, and it’s another $15 to fill your tank with water. :( 

      Good cell reception here since it’s right in town. There’s a swing set but not much else in terms of activities or a playground. Each site has a nice new picnic table and fire pit. There are trash dumpsters but no recycling here.

      This is one of the nicest USFS campgrounds we’ve stayed in. It’s freshly paved, including each camp spot’s parking area, so they’re relatively flat. It’s more open and clean and cared for than most USFS campgrounds we’ve stayed in.  

      It’s $16/night, self pay at the iron ranger. No host, no dump station, no recycling. There’s water (closed when we were there though), a trash bin, and vault toilets. 

      There’s a nice walk near site 18 to a scenic overlook of the lake, and if you keep going past the overlook there are stairs that take you down to the boat ramp, beach, day use area, trail to the falls, etc. Really nice lush beautiful green trail. 

      A few sites have a “view” of the lake, meaning you can see the water through the trees. #18 has the best view of the water. No cell service at the campground but Verizon and ATT had a very weak sporadic signal from our site (#20). This signal went away everywhere else in the campground though. 

      Flies and mosquitoes were annoying!

      Bad River Casino

      Great for an overnight

      The casino allows free overnight parking with no hookups, or if you want power it’s $21.10/night, or power and water is $31.65/night. You go into the gift shop to check in, but we didn't get any hookups so I didn’t have to register or sign up for a membership or anything. Very easy. There may be more to it if you want the power or water for the night though. 

      I asked at the gift shop if there was a dump station on site, she said there is one behind the gas station. I asked how much, she said free. I asked if there was water also, she said no but i can pull up to one of the pay sites and fill up water there. I said sweet, thanks! and did just that. In the morning we pulled the RV to one of the power/ water sites, and filled our water tank. We then drove to the BP station and started to dump, when a casino employee came running out, telling us that the dump was for paying customers only. I asked if we got gas, would that count? He said no. He said the water we took this morning was for paying overnight RVers as well. I told him that we were told we could fill water and dump for free, sorry. There’s no signage on the dump station. Not only that, but the dump tank was full! If I’d paid for the night, thinking it included a dump, I’d be pretty annoyed that the tanks were full and I couldn’t dump. 

      The rules for RV parking are posted in a very hidden spot behind the dumpster. If I didn’t know it was there I would not have known to look for it, especially not there. We went to the IGA grocery store across the parking lot and bought a few things, very poor and sad selection of items. There’s also a post office here. 

      Good cell reception here. Parking lot was flat and open, a few other RVers stayed the night. There’s some road noise but it dies down overnight. Great place to stop and recharge if you’re touring around the lakes.

      Lake Chippewa Campground

      Still One of Our Favs

      As we arrived on a Saturday around 1:45 PM, there was quite the line of RVs checking in as most people come in for a week on Saturdays. As we have been here multiple times, we knew not to line up down the narrow road shoot that’s adjacent to the lodge where you check in but stay on the main road. They had plenty of staff on duty, so check-in was fairly quick, and we headed to site 457, which was an easy back-in with FHUs. We were pleasantly surprised we didn’t get site 456 right on the road. When we make a reservation for this campground(CG), you can only pick an area, not a specific site, for most of the sites. This was the first time we’d stayed in this area of mixed short-term and seasonal sites. The FHU facilities were placed in the middle of the gravel-grass site with a picnic table and fire pit. We were able to put out our back patio and have plenty of space to park our F450. There are a lot of mature trees in this park, so satellite is going to be iffy depending on the site. We were able to get an okay shot to the north for Starlink but no chance for the southern sky. You can opt to pay for the park Wi-Fi. The water pressure is good, and we had two bars on Verizon. The staff at the lodge/office is top-notch. We found out that this year’s“watch out” was kids riding electric bikes full out versus underage golf cart drivers of last year, so“watch out” in either case. The CG has been trying to police the lack of parental oversight, but this first-rate CG attacks a lot of families. Though there’s no formal dog park, there are plenty of areas to walk your dog, including the trail up and around the newer primitive camping area. Lake Chip is one of our favs, and we will continue to return.
