"The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage is a 12,942 acre lake, located in Iron County, Wisconsin. It has a maximum depth of 50 feet. Great fishing as well."
"Beautiful Up North Wisconsin! Over 300 islands, camp sites for groups, families and even a quiet area. Availability for gas, bait or a drink and meal."
"Me and the kids took a road trip from North Carolina to Wisconsin over the summer during Covid to get away."
"Sites that are near the lake have more direct access. For the rest of us it’s a short hike through the woods or a quick drive to the beach."
"We explored the trail behind site 14 and walked along the waterfall. The bridge takes you to another camp section. We walked down the road to see a restaurant with lodging."
"Boat landing very close by in another of the camping loops. Very close to waterfalls. Quiet. Lost a star because it’s very difficult to find, no signage along the road. Great body of water."
"You can literally camp right next to the falls! The sites are very big and have beautiful views of the river that leads to the Turtle Flambeau Flowage!"
$15 / night
"Lake Emily is in Florence county. Very popular from opening to clean see of the season. Great lake and views. Boat ramp fishing grills. Many well forested campsites. Well maintained and clean."
"Vault toilets are centrally located. In the middle of the week there were still empty sites to choose from. However from looking on Google it seems to be a popular spot so weekends may fill up."
"Big Lake Campground is a great spot if you’re looking for a simple and peaceful camping experience. The facilities are very basic—vault toilets and no showers—but they are clean and well-maintained."
"This is a nice campground located in a nice place that isn’t too rustic. Lots of sites in this large campground too. The road in is paved and yet nicely wooded."
"This is a perfect small sized campground with trail access to UTV /Atv trails. If you are coming here to ride I would recommend going west on the trail. North a lot of the trails were closed."
"There are trails starting right by camp. They even have an atv washing station - first I’ve seen. With no Verizon cell service, this is a nice night’s stopover for us."
"Lakeside sites have their own path to the lake. Campers would leave their water “toys” ashore for use the next day. Loons singing; very peaceful."
"Big Muskellunge Lake is one of many campgrounds situated in the North Highland American Legion State Forest and one of three in a two mile radius that offers modern facilities with showers and flush toilets"
$15 - $30 / night
"love this woodsy spot in the Wisconsin north woods. Great little fishing lake too with stocked trout."
"Some sites by the lake have good views but all are nice. Sites on the forest side had longer grass. A pump house is a source for fresh drinking water."
"There are only walk-in tent sites here. We missed that before we headed here so we needed to look elsewhere. There are other campgrounds just a few miles away."
"The lake is gorgeous and swimmable. The only amenities are a vault toilet and water."
TravelerQuiet and pretty national forest rustic CG. Smaller private sites with some being on the water. Clean vault toilets. Connect with nature here.
TravelerWe loved this place and would stay again. The host was super friendly and helped us out. The bathroom was clean, but we didn't try the showers.
LegendWe stayed here while visiting the Porcupine Mountains. Great campground with clean bathrooms and well maintained sites. Right across the street from the beach. Would definitely recommend if staying in the area.
TravelerThis is our favorite campground and prioritize an annual visit. The views are beautiful. Quick access to the lake, hiking, and small UP towns.
ScoutGot there at night and had to leave right away in the morning. Had to eat in our truck and go to bed right away.
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.
RangerThis 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
GuideThis campground has 3 spacious sites, a vault toilet and stream water (downhill) that must be filtered. Sites are $20 payable at the visitor center. We filled up water at the visitor center. There is a hiking parking lot at the entrance to the campground and several cars drive into the campground to turn around. The ranger drove by at dusk. Very quiet and no flies when there were bunches at Union Bay
GuideNice campground with beautiful sites right on Lake Superior. Friendly staff. Unfortunately we were there when the flies were terrible. I would go back during non-fly season
