Big Eau Pleine Park Campground, nestled near Mosinee, WI, offers a fantastic escape into nature. Spanning 1,450 acres, this park is a gem with mixed hardwoods forming a two-mile peninsula into the Big Eau Pleine Flowage. The name "Eau Pleine" comes from the French phrase meaning "full water" or "stock river," which is fitting given the beautiful lake and beach area.
The campground has two main sections: the West Unit and the South Unit, with a total of 106 sites, about 60 of which have electric hookups. The daily fees are quite reasonable, ranging from $18 for non-electric sites to $23 for those with electric and a lake view. Visitors have praised the large, private sites, especially in the West Loop, and the availability of firewood right at the campground.
For those who love outdoor activities, this park is a paradise. There are 12 miles of scenic, wooded trails perfect for hiking, biking, or even horseback riding. Fishing enthusiasts will find several good spots near the entrance and along the three boat landings. The disc golf course is another highlight, offering a fun way to enjoy the park's natural beauty.
Families and groups will appreciate the amenities like the beach, picnic areas, and two shelters. The group site is particularly popular, with electric hookups for multiple campers and a covered picnic area. Even the pit toilets are well-maintained, and there's a sanitary dump station available for RVs.
Pets are welcome, and the campground is big-rig friendly, making it a versatile spot for both tent and RV campers. Whether you're here for the fishing, hiking, or just to relax by the lake, Big Eau Pleine Park Campground has something for everyone.
