Hines Park & Campground near Park Falls features nine full-hookup sites where pets are welcome at no additional cost. Located along the Flambeau River with views of the water, this municipal campground provides tent and RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections at $35 per night. Smith Lake County Park, another pet-friendly option nearby, offers spacious campsites with ample separation between neighbors, electric hookups, and a shower house. The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest's Sailor Lake Campground provides rustic pet-friendly camping with water access, vault toilets, and privacy between sites. Dogs must be leashed at all campgrounds, with most requiring pets to be supervised at all times. Copper Falls State Park Campground also accommodates pets in specific camping areas and cabins, though pet-friendly cabin options may be limited. Campgrounds in the area remain underutilized with plenty of availability, especially at Hines Park where campers report having the entire park to themselves on weekdays.
Flambeau River State Forest provides pet-friendly camping at Lake of the Pines and Connors Lake campgrounds where dogs can accompany their owners on nature trails. Multiple ATV trails throughout the region welcome leashed dogs, offering additional recreation options for pet owners. The Turtle-Flambeau Scenic Waters Area allows pets at its boat-in campsites, perfect for adventurous campers with water-loving dogs. Many campgrounds feature walking paths along waterways, including Hines Park's riverside trail that provides exercise opportunities for pets. Wildlife encounters are common in the area, with campers reporting sightings of porcupines, eagles, and deer, so keeping pets secured is essential. Summer brings heavy mosquito activity at some locations, which can affect both humans and pets, particularly in swampy areas like Stockfarm Bridge campground. Campers note the area's natural sounds—loons, elk calls, and wolves—create a wilderness experience while camping with pets.
"This little campground is hosted and managed by the City of Park Falls. It’s well kept and there are even basketball courts."
"Very pleasant location on the Flambeau River and a short distance from downtown. Playground, walking trail, shelter, basketball courts, and other things for families. $25 per night."
"A few miles outside of Park Falls, reasonably close to groceries and supplies but far enough away so it's quiet and peaceful (except for some loud RV campers a few sites away)."
"There is a boat launch right next to camp. A sandy beach is next to a large pavilion and playground. We hiked along a multi-use trail that goes between towns. Lots of ATV trails too."
"Nestled within Wisconsin forest you find Sailor Lake. This national forest campground has water access as well as sites away from the lake."
"* View ⛺️⛺️⛺️ 3/5 This is one of the lakeside campsites. You can see the lake from the campsite, but its not very close to the shore. The prairie next to our site is quite lovely."

Campgrounds nice and clean, nice shower house!
GuideClean, small, but with all the amenities. This little campground is hosted and managed by the City of Park Falls. It’s well kept and there are even basketball courts. There is a great view of the Flambeau River and a small public pier for fishing. I would give it 5 stars if it was more wooded.
TravelerLocated on the Chippewa flow-age in north west Wisconsin, this is a beautiful campground with lots of available activities. Full hook-up and pull through sites are available. Prices are reasonable ($48.00/night). Pets are allowed on a leash.
Will definitely stay there again.
LegendIf your from Wisconsin this sits at the very north of the State. If your looking for areas to visit while camping here you may have a little bit of a drive. The park features some of the best waterfalls in the State and the trails surrounding those falls can get you pretty close for some spectacular photos! The North Country Scenic Hiking runs through the park. This is the longest hiking trail in the county and stretches over 4500 miles. The park does have a beach but if you have a four legged friend with you the pet beach isn't the best as your subject to the boat landing area and isn't very inviting. You can walk through this park and never get bored of the scenes. If you like being surrounded by green this is the place! A nice park to get away from any amenities or thoughts of the city!
LegendAs 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.
GuideWelcoming, clean and charming old fashioned camping & RV’ing. Nice paved road coming in. Friendly owner on site. Convenient dump station. Water and Electric. Swam in lake. Very family and pet friendly. Would go back!! Recycling avail.
LegendThis large campground stretches out along the lakeshore. Some sites have beautiful lake views(we suggest trying those first). There are also some double sites that would nestle you in closely with your neighbors- perfect for a larger group. A few walk in spots are available too.
The nature trail doesn’t allow pets which was sad. However the paved bike route is nearby and goes for miles. Town is a short bike ride away. This weekend was an organized ride so it was quite a busy path. A couple days later the town had a large garage sale-type fair. The cookies and jam were great!
This was a great discovery. We are adding this to our places to return to.
The lake is beautiful and has a nice picnic area with a place to launch your boat.
LegendNestled within Wisconsin forest you find Sailor Lake. This national forest campground has water access as well as sites away from the lake. We stayed at site 12 - a pull through site away from the water.
Many, although not all, of the waterside sites are for tents. You park and carry your gear down a few steps for a close to the water feel. There is an open area for everyone to enjoy the lake - it’s filled with purple flowers today. With plenty of woods around, all sites offer privacy but they have different vibes. Plenty of choice here so look around or reserve one. Plenty of sites available for walk-ins too. A couple of vault toilets, garage receptacle and water source round out a nice camp.
ATV trails as well as non-motorized trails are plentiful. We hiked on them and it was nice. Minimal cell signal encourages disconnecting for your stay.
RangerWe stayed here one quick night on a trip driving the Trans Wisconsin ATV Trail. This is one of 2 campgrounds in the Flambeau River State Forest. It was fairly rustic and remote, but had clean vault toilets, hand pump for water, and a nicely wooded sites. We walked to the lake at dusk and enjoyed great views. There is a boat launch, and also a path to a small beach with a swim area. Not a destination for us, but a great stop.

Pro Tip: We found wood close by at the Flambeau Forest Inn, with a pick up and paybox outside. Nice to be able to get wood without needing to go inside.
Park Falls, Wisconsin sits at the edge of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest at 1,499 feet above sea level. This Northern Wisconsin area features multiple river systems including the Flambeau River, with camping options that range from municipal facilities to remote boat-in sites. Summer temperatures typically range from 50-80°F with heavy precipitation during storm seasons.
Hiking forest trails: The area's extensive trail network includes the Twin Lakes Campground trail system. "I spent the day hiking the Round Lake trail and had it all to myself," reports Scott M. from Twin Lakes NF Campground. The trail circles Round Lake with informative signage mapping the route.
Lake fishing opportunities: Stocked trout lakes provide accessible fishing near campsites. "Great little fishing lake too with stocked trout," notes Doug N. about Twin Lakes. At Connors Lake, one camper reported "Caught a nice muskee on it! Wouldn't swim in it but definitely good for fishing and boating. Also caught a lot of bluegill."
Canoe and kayak exploration: The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage offers 12,942 acres of paddling opportunities. "The quality of the waters, vast array of channels, islands and camping spots is simply amazing," shares Kim from Turtle Flambeau Scenic Waters Area. For launching, "Murrey's Landing or Fisherman's landing" are recommended as "closest to the voluntary wake zone where you won't see speed boats."
Uncrowded campsites: Many campgrounds remain quiet even during peak season. "We were essentially alone with only one other party on our loop! Extremely quiet!" writes Lawrence B. about Sailor Lake NF Campground. Jeff S. noted at Hines Park: "We were the only campers for 4 of the six nights and just one other the other two nights."
Natural soundscapes: The area's nighttime sounds create memorable experiences. At Lake of the Pines Campground, Cyndy S. appreciated "no cell service and the sound of the elk and loons in the evening." Multiple campers mention hearing owls, eagles, and wolves at various campsites throughout the region.
Island camping: For those seeking seclusion, boat-in island sites provide unique experiences. "We settled on this amazing site called 'Zelda's' nestled in a bay which is off the main drag of boats. It was quiet, heavily wooded, secluded and perfect for two. This site (like many) was on its own private island," reports Kim about camping on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage.
Limited amenities at some sites: Many campgrounds have minimal facilities. At Connors Lake Campground, Debra M. notes: "There are only vault toilets at the campground. There is one shower at the ranger station which is about 4 miles away." Some sites have no showers at all.
Reservation requirements vary: Check specific campground rules before arriving. At Lake of the Pines, one camper reported confusion: "We arrived knowing sites were reservable. We didn't know they had to be reserved... With no cell service we were about to drive until we could call."
Insects can be prevalent: Multiple reviewers mention mosquitoes and flies. Art S. noted at Connors Lake: "The flies and some mosquitoes joined the ticks in making their presence felt too." Bringing insect repellent is essential for comfortable camping in this region.
Beach and swimming access: Several campgrounds offer swimming areas for children. At Comfort Cove Resort & Campground, Lynette J. reports: "The lake location is perfect with both sunsets and coves. There are cabins as well as a few tent/rv campsites and a wonderful bar/restaurant on site."
Playground availability: Families seeking recreational structures should research carefully. Debra M. notes about Connors Lake: "There are no play grounds," making it potentially less suitable for families with young children requiring structured activities.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Children can observe diverse wildlife throughout the region. Art S. observed: "We saw deer and fawn, rabbits and so many mallards in a couple hikes" at Twin Lakes Campground, making it ideal for nature education opportunities.
Full hookup availability: Hines Park & Campground offers nine sites with complete utilities. "All nine sites are full hookup and are just $35 a night," reports Jeff S., noting all have "20/30/50 electrical, water, and sewer."
Site spacing and access: Smith Lake County Park provides good separation between RV sites. Art S. notes: "Campsites are large and there's plenty of separation. We had a picnic table and another taller table (I'm guessing it's to clean your fishing catch?). All sites have electric but the fee is reasonable."
Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds with RV sites have dump stations. Check availability before arrival, as some like Smith Lake County Park offer this amenity, while others require driving to alternate facilities. Several miles of travel may be necessary between your campsite and the nearest sanitary dump.
