Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Three Lakes, WI

432 Reviews

Franklin Lake Campground features basic tent and RV sites where pets are allowed throughout the grounds. Located on the eastern side of Three Lakes, this campground offers primitive camping with picnic tables and fire rings but no hookups for pets or people. Pets must remain on leash at all times while at the campsite. Nearby, Hi-Pines Campground provides pet owners with more amenities including full hookup sites, cabins, and glamping options that all accommodate pets. Sites are wide and open, making it easy to set up with animals. The sites are spaced well enough apart that pets have room to relax at the campsite. Campground staff are responsive to requests and maintain clean facilities that pet owners appreciate.

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest offers several dispersed camping options for those traveling with pets, including Wolf Lake Campsite and Woodbury Lake Campsite. Both are free, primitive sites with picnic tables and fire rings where pets can accompany campers. The small lakes at these sites have sandy beaches great for dogs that enjoy swimming. Wildlife encounters are common, so keeping dogs leashed or under voice control is essential. Loons frequent these remote lakes and share the beaches with campers and their pets. The Sam Campbell Trail near the Chequamegon-Nicolet backcountry site provides additional hiking opportunities for pets and owners. During summer months, these remote sites offer respite from more crowded campgrounds while maintaining easy access to Eagle River's veterinary services approximately 15 minutes away.

    Lake Gogebic State Park Campground

    Awesome state park

    Loved this camping trip. Great park. Super helpful and friendly staff/hosts. Clean bathrooms, pet friendly. Awesome location on Lake Gogebic shore. Close to Porcupine Mountains and Bond Falls and hiking trails. Would love to visit again.

    Pine Valley Lodge

    Great view, Cabins run down and Beach was a mess

    We have been coming here for a long time. It is under new management and we thought things would get better. While we were here other guests trashed the beach and had dogs running and using the bathroom throughout the campsite. The rules for dogs were to keep them on leashes and clean up after them. These rules were not being followed which caused the beach, in the past is lovely, but with the dogs using it as a bathroom the beach smelt like poop. Nobody in our week of staying cleaned up after them so we needed to go somewhere else to swim. If your place is pet friendly please make sure to keep up with your own rules. The cabins are run down but showers are hot and the utilities are still able to be used

    North Trout Lake Campground — Northern Highland State Forest

    Great lakeside sites (the others are nice too)

    This 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.

    North Trout Lake Campground — Northern Highland State Forest

    Weekend stay

    Loved 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.

    North Trout Lake Campground — Northern Highland State Forest

    Great Location for Biking and Camping

    Nice campground situated in Northern Wisconsin in the North Highland American Legion State Forest. Over 900 lakes and 225,000 acres. As you will read from my other reviews of campgrounds in this area, this is the place to be if you love camping, fishing or bicycling. This is the bicycle trail capital in the State of Wisconsin for sure! There are paved bicycle trails connecting every campground and every town. There are nature trails everywhere that vary in length. North Trout Lake is a nice lake to swim in an can get pretty wavy with good winds, swim at your own risk, the beach is Sandy but turns to rock the further you go in. This campground offers some awesome walk-in campsites situated in front of the water near the beach. There are also numerous standard sites that sit on the water but it can be tough to get one during peak season. This campground also offers good size camp sites with plenty of room to set up. . There are no showers or flush toilets at this location but the restrooms were clean and there are plenty of water pumps for fresh water. If you can live with the minimum this campground is nice. This campground is about and 18 min drive. Northeast from the tourist town of Minaqua and 7 minutes drive from Bolder Junction, another tourist town that is located just East. Bicycle trails lead you to either direction. Both towns have convinces of dining, services, and lodging if needed.

    Ada Lake NF Campground

    Beautiful, quiet, national forest

    A nice little beach, quiet well spaced sites, and nearby snowmobile/hiking trails. The lake it small with a few lake cabins across the lake. The camp host was great, keeping things clean and maintained a small camp library. No dogs allowed on the beach or even in the beach area. Some beautiful lakeside sites available. Lots of frogs and basically no bugs!

    West Bass Lake

    Nice Campground and Beach, Recenntly Updated

    As of this writing, 2024, they have recently installed new showers and flush bathrooms. I live near this campground, so I have stayed at almost every site in the park. If you cant have or don't want a lake site, site #4 is the largest. It is almost 35 yards across the front. Trees are growing back, but not many mature trees on the East of the park. There is a really nice beach area adjacent to, but not in the campground. It is a nice short walk. Each site has electric hookup, and some sites have more than one box.  Not much ambient light in this park, so it is great for viewing stars and Northern Lights. This  park also is situated near the ATV trail, and has access to the 160 mile Blue Ox trail system.

    Boot Lake Campground

    Secluded lake camping

    This campground is near Townsend. If this one s full just continue down the road to Boulder Lake Campground. 

    We liked the diversity of campsites. You can find your own space and even add in some shade. Vault toilets and water can be found. Garbage bins are here too. The boat launch gives you access to the peaceful Boot Lake. We aren’t into fishing but liked that hiking isn’t too far. The Quartz Hill Trail is a bit of a drive past Townsend. 

    This is a peaceful respite in the Wisconsin woods.
