What to do
Lake activities: The water recreation areas at Diamond Lake Family Campground include inflatables and water slides for families. "We don't have small kids but 2 of the couples we were with did and they had so much fun with the water chute and inflatables," notes Jennifer G. The campground maintains designated swimming areas separate from fishing zones.
Hiking trails: Trails through the Nicolet National Forest provide access to numerous lakes and wildlife viewing opportunities. "The Quartz Hill Trail is a bit of a drive past Townsend," mentions Art S. from Boot Lake Campground, where visitors find quieter forest settings beyond the more developed facilities.
Fishing spots: Multiple stocked ponds and natural lakes offer fishing throughout the region. "Boot lake is actually the shape of a boot. It provides some decent fishing from shore but excellent fishing from a boat," explains Christopher R. Most campgrounds allow fishing with proper Wisconsin licensing, with catch-and-release regulations at private facilities.
What campers like
Wooded privacy: Many sites in the area feature natural separation between camping units. "The sites were a little less secluded than we expected but weren't on top of each other by any means," notes Erin P. about Potawatomi State Park. The park maintains vegetation barriers between sites while providing access to shoreline areas.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds maintain regular cleaning schedules for bathrooms and shower facilities. At River Park Campground, "Bathrooms are the best we've seen in a long time...super clean with individual shower rooms," according to Ron M. Most campgrounds offer both flush toilets and pit toilets depending on location within the property.
Seasonal events: Many campgrounds schedule themed weekends throughout the summer. "This weekend there was a screening of The Nightmare Before Christmas and loads of cool decked out campsites," reports Jaime N. from Pine Grove Campground, where Halloween activities start in late summer.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most glamping options near Oconto Falls require advance booking, particularly for summer weekends. "First time being at this campground and I absolutely fell in love with it. Family-owners take pride in owning a quiet campground and doesn't allow outsiders," explains Nathan C.F., highlighting the restricted access policies.
Weather considerations: The region experiences significant seasonal temperature variations. "We went the weekend after Labor Day and basically had the whole place to ourselves. Very quiet and peaceful," notes Jeff F. from Governor Thompson State Park, where fall camping offers more solitude but cooler temperatures.
Wildlife awareness: Campers should prepare for encounters with local wildlife. "Did hear some bear walking the first night and some coyotes/or wolves howling literally right behind our tent the second night," reports Jeff F. about camping experiences in the area.
