Solberg Lake County Park welcomes pets in both tent and RV camping areas, offering electric hookups and standard campground amenities including picnic tables, drinking water, and fire rings. The pet-friendly sites provide ample space between neighboring campers, creating a comfortable environment for dogs and their owners. Lake of the Pines Campground in Flambeau River State Forest allows pets throughout its 30 non-electric sites, each featuring picnic tables and fire rings. The campground filled up on Thursday for Father's Day weekend despite having only a few sites occupied during early season camping. Comfort Cove Resort & Campground extends its pet policy to include cabins as well as tent and RV sites, making it a versatile option for travelers with various accommodation preferences.
Flambeau River State Forest's hiking trails provide excellent exercise opportunities for leashed dogs, with the nature trail offering wildlife viewing where campers have spotted porcupines while hearing loons and owls. The Lake of the Pines area features a boat launch and small beach with swimming area, though pet access to water may be restricted in designated swimming zones. Most campgrounds in the Phillips area maintain a standard leash policy, requiring dogs to be secured at all times outside vehicles or camping units. No cell service exists at some locations like Connors Lake Campground, presenting a potential challenge for pet owners needing emergency veterinary assistance. Weather considerations are important when camping with pets in this region, as northern Wisconsin temperatures can vary significantly even during summer months.

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.
Read more, check out the map: https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stateforests/flambeauriver/camping.html You can check availability and reserve some of the sites online on the Wisconsin DRN site, or just pay at the pay station.
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.
LegendCampground Review:
Lake Eleven campsite is a back country site located within the Chequamegon National Forest in Taylor County, Wisconsin. It is the 15.5 mile Lake Eleven Segment, part of the 1200 mile long Ice Age Trail. A 2.5 hr drive from the Twin Cities it is an excellent diverse section of trail with many geologic wonders formed by continental glaciation, with the most recent effects formed at the end of the Wisconsin Glaciation, a period ending about 10,000 years ago.
Starting our hike at the STH-64 parking lot we hike approximately 10 miles to our campsite. There are two sites on Lake Eleven, one on the south side and ours on the north side. Our initial intentions were to camp on the south side but surprisingly it was occupied on an otherwise empty trail. Our late October backpacking trip skirted hunting season in Wisconsin and it appeared a few groups were getting a head start on the weekend. The guide book does mention that this site is used for backpackers, hunters, fisherman and equestrians. We were fortunate to grab the north side location moments before another group of men came thru. I should note that there is plenty of space for large groups at the north side site but as a group of 7 women, the men knew better than to try and camp at our site; fortunate for us as we could hear their drunken banter across the lake. This north side location is accessible via a short spur trail and situated under a grove of pines so we had adequate protection from the sleet storm that was coming as well as a soft pad of needles for all 5 of our tents. This site also provided excellent space for hammock camping. Located next to the lake, it provided ease of access to water that was drinkable with a filtration system. The site has a nice stone fire pit with log benches surrounding it. Plenty of downed/dead trees provide firewood. There is no pit toilet at this location but plenty of open (no low lying brush) wooded area to find a spot to do your business.
Overall a pleasant spot to consider as you travel some or all of the Ice Age Trail.
Product Review:
As a Ranger Reviewer for The Dyrt, I am honored occasionally to test and evaluate products. During this trip I tested out the Oofos womens Oolala Slide Sandal https://www.oofos.com/collections/womens-oolala-slide-sandal
This sandal is touted as a recovery sandal but frankly I use it as an everything sandal. I walk the dog in them, use them at the beach, use them after running, use them around the house, use them at the campsite after a long day of hiking… they are so comfortable that I don’t really care to wear any other sandals. The extra cushy foam, apparently called Oofoam, really does make your feet and legs feel better. The thick sole took a little bit getting used to but like a day not a week. The grippy bottoms give you great traction on all surfaces and my feet fit comfortably yet snugly in the slide, no worries about them slipping off. For our backpacking trip they were a great post 6-8 hr hike shoe. I’d throw off my hiking shoes and throw on the sandals. I really felt this allowed for a quicker recovery and less leg pain and fatigue for the next days hike. What was also great was popping them off right before I got in the tent. No struggling with wet muddy shoes as I crawl into my ultralight 2p tent (aka no room at all). Speaking of light, these puppies were attached to the outside of my pack and added a whopping 10 ounces. As far as the pricing goes these tend to be mid to upper range compared to other recovery sandals. I’ve had a different brand of sandal at a similar price and while nice they only lasted a couple years. For the pricing and the fact that they’re not used for hard use (hiking, running, etc.) I feel they should have lasted longer. Only time will tell if these Oofos will do the same. If they do last longer than they are worth the price.
TravelerLoved the water view from our campsite, unfortunately on the other side was the main entrance and a highway so vehicular traffic sound was prominent. Sites are large, with some tree coverage. Many families with kids and dogs. Well maintained and great walking and biking trails in the park and surrounding area.
Northern Wisconsin's Phillips area attracts campers seeking forest and lake settings around 1,500 feet elevation. The Flambeau River and numerous lakes define this Northwoods region, where summer temperatures average 75°F but evening temperatures can drop into the 50s even in July. Campers find a mix of county, national forest, and state forest campgrounds with variable amenities and access points.
Fishing at multiple lakes: Smith Lake County Park provides easy access to boat launches directly adjacent to its campgrounds. "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," notes reviewer Art S., who appreciated the park's amenities.
Hiking nature trails: Sailor Lake NF Campground connects to several forest paths. One camper shared, "We hiked on them and it was nice. Minimal cell signal encourages disconnecting for your stay." The campground's access to both motorized and non-motorized trails makes it versatile for different outdoor interests.
Paddling calm waters: Twin Lakes NF Campground offers paddling opportunities on its small, quiet lakes. "This campground is a true gem...I would highly suggest it. Site 8 is a larger site that would be used for a double group...but it was perfect for sunset. Most sites have a way to the water and some have stairs down to the water," reports Scott M.
Dark sky viewing: Eastwood NF Campground provides exceptional stargazing conditions. "Sites are well spread out, you barely notice they are other sites nearby. Dark and quiet at night," writes Greg D., highlighting the campground's isolation from light pollution.
Wildlife encounters: Connors Lake Campground offers rich wildlife viewing opportunities. According to Krissy G., "This was our first camping trip into the beautiful Flambeau River State Forest. It was stunning. Plenty to do and see at this campground. It's the true north woods experience."
Clean facilities: The maintenance at Hines Park & Campground receives consistent praise. Jeff S. notes, "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."
Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds in the Phillips area have minimal or no cell service. At Connors Lake Campground, Debra M. warns, "There is no cell service at Connors Lake Campground. I could not even make an emergency call which was a concern for me. There are many signs that say to go to the ranger station, about 4 miles to make an emergency call."
Reservation systems vary: Lake of the Pines Campground has a specific reservation process. One camper explained, "We arrived at Lake of the Pines 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."
Insect preparation: Bug protection is essential, particularly at waterside sites. A reviewer at Twin Lakes NF Campground advised, "This is a wonderful spot but bring something to keep the mosquitoes at bay."
Playgrounds and beaches: Smith Lake County Park combines camping with family-friendly amenities. Art S. mentions, "A sandy beach is next to a large pavilion and playground. We hiked along a multi-use trail that goes between towns."
Multiple accommodation options: Comfort Cove Resort & Campground offers flexibility for families. Lynette J. shares, "We love this as a 'go to' place for family. 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."
Weather preparedness: Pack layers for children as summer evenings can be surprisingly cold. At Sailor Lake NF Campground, Mary M. described her experience: "The moonrise over the lake the first night was incredible," showing how dramatic temperature changes create unique viewing opportunities.
Full hookup availability: Hines Park & Campground offers comprehensive RV services. Robbie W. notes, "Nine campsites, all with 20/30/50 electrical, water, and sewer. Non-reservable, first-come-first-serve. No showers, but there are public restrooms."
Big rig access: Big Falls County Park accommodates larger vehicles despite its rustic setting. While primitive, the park offers "large campsites & the river is gorgeous. Nice walking & exploring trails," according to Dani M.
Dump station locations: Plan for waste disposal needs in advance. Smith Lake County Park provides this service, with Art S. reporting, "Garbage and even a RV dump station are available," making it convenient for pet-friendly camping near Phillips, Wisconsin when traveling with animals who create additional waste.
