"No trails right at the campground, but for a cross coin ski trail just past the cg entrance. We were here to visit Croix NWW - a bit of a drive from the cg."
"All are heavily wooded and none right on lake. Boat Landing is great, boats can be pulled up on shore and left there safely."
$18 - $36 / night
"I have camped here twice and hiked around quite a few times and this is one of the most beautiful campground in Wisconsin."
"The sites are surrounded by trees so you don't see your fellow campers, but still close enough that you can hear them."
"Conveniently located on Hwy2 but you could hear truck traffic at your site... cell tower right next to the campground meant we had full service when needed. We would stay here again no doubt!"
"Best part is that there is a lot of room to walk your dog as it backs up to a forest. Also, the gas station is also a bar and its a great place to have a cold one after driving all day!"

"A small NFS campground on a small lake. Good for afternoon sun and hiking on the North Country Trail. I camped in early May, before ticks, mosquitos & gnats got going."
"Usually quiet, clean, and very well maintained, to my wife and I Beaver Lake's biggest asset is that it is completely off the grid; no cell service, no electric, nothing (except baying hounds in the distance"
"8 Mile drive off the main road. Mostly paved, some gravel, but all smooth. We had the place to ourselves. A short walk down to the waterfall."
"Also got a bit nervous hearing timber wolves in the distance for a few hours at night then again in the early morning. But we practiced good camp hygiene and they left us alone."
"The campground is on a no-wake lake so great for fishing."
TravelerTucked away campground right in a lake. Spacious sites and quiet…no road or neighbor noise. Lake has swimming area and swim platform, it’s a lake so there are small fish, snails and grass in that area. Hosts are very nice and bar area looked great but we arrived too late to visit. Only stayed for one night.
TravelerThis is a first come first serve campsite, self pay. We arrived around 6 after changing flat tire and there were no sites available. Park looked well maintained and nice waterfront sites. We checked at Prentice park and they were full too…only 7 RV sites….tent sites looked questionable ….wasn’t comfortable with my kids around some of the occupants. Camp host was very nice and made recommendations and we found a site 30 minutes away
GuideGood spot if you’re visiting Apostles Islands NL. Has some biting bugs but not terrible.
GuideFive developed campsites are here--we were the only ones here the first day of 5, and it never filled up. Only one site was large enough for our 43' motorhome, but all are gorgeous secluded spots. 2 mile drive down a level gravel road to arrive: UTV trail access from this campground as well as hikes to 2 waterfalls.
LegendSites are fairly large and have lots of trees and woods surrounding them. You get a handicap picnic table and fire pit with grate at each site. Big rig friendly. Saw a motorhome so you can fit and you can get on the ferry over!! There is one bathroom with showers and the rest are vault toilets. There is a hiking trail right out of the campground and biking is an option too!
LegendSites are fairly large and have lots of trees and woods surrounding them, though you may likely still be able to see your neighbors a bit and will definitely be able to hear them. You get a handicap picnic table and fire pit with grate at each site. Most sites are big rig friendly. Saw a motorhome so you can find something you will fit in and you can get on the ferry over!! There is one bathroom with showers and the rest are vault toilets. I recommend waking up early for the showers as they fill up around 8am to 9am. There is a hiking trail right out of the campground and biking into town is an option too!
LegendNice wooded sites varying in size. Packed pretty close together so don't expect a ton of privacy. Two portions of the campground across the road from each other. Small playground, a beach, office, wood shed, etc. sites have fire ring and picnic table. Good alternative if the state park is full! Stayed here for 1 night as the state park was full for part of my time on the island, ended up just sleeping in my car to avoid doing a full set up for just 1 night to catch the first ferry out the next day.
LegendI love campgrounds where you get to camp amongst the tall pines (not sure what kind they are)! Large campground with lots of amenities! Right off the highway so you will get some road noise even at night. But if you're lucky to have a site farther from the road you really can't hear much!
Amenities: pool, kamping kitchen, pavillion, snack bar ($), mini golf ($), bike rentals ($), wi-fi, propane ($), firewood ($), fenced in dog area (KampK9), bag toss, two playgrounds, basketball, horseshoes, tetherball, arcade/game room, Friday s'more party, volleyball, and themed weekends!
