GuideWe stayed here for 2 nights. A Saturday and Sunday night in August and we had the place to ourselves. The large open field is big enough to accommodate multiple groups though and we had no problem getting our 30 ft long rig back there. The grass was very long so it made it hard to see if the ground would be level or if there were rocks hiding on the ground. Loved our stay!
TravelerBig open gravel lot for parking and grassy area for tent camping near the river. I stayed in the gravel lot in my van. However, a ranger came the next day and said it wasn't allowed. I could only stay if I pitched a tent so I left.
GuideWhen we lived in Duluth, being so close, this was great spot to come and chill. Trails are great falls are even better. Lots of cool pockets that seemed forgotten. Would definitely recommend, went in May and July. Also, close to a bar (Rapid Riverside) that’s solid. Stayed at site 18 & 28
Guide4x4 recommend rough road coming in no passing area at all also off-road camper highly recommend very small campsite only for one vehicle ohv trails all over lake is a short walk away. Could fish with a kayak or paddle board Lilly pads are thick on the shore line. Campsite has a rock fire ring and a small picnic table. This does require a $25 camping permit which is good for 14 days of your stay. Very quite and rustic I'd give it 5 stars if the lake was shore fishing possible. The lake might just be low this year. Still the same nice secluded spot lots of wildlife and very good solar spot also
ScoutCampfround has 6 campsites with fire pits and picnic tables. There is also a double vault toilet. The campground is very clean and accomodate many more campers, scout troops or large families. It is set up for canoe trips overnight stop. I'm here in my tear drop and just do daily trips out in my canoe. There is a 3 night stay limit and it is FREE!
ScoutNot much room for parking very quiet you could maybe fit to small RVs in the area The red cabin is not at this site
ScoutHad a great time. Dan & Lisa friendly and accommodating. Clean and roomy sites for just opening they’re doing well. Can’t wait until next time
ScoutThe campground is nice and has more woods/bushes and more privacy than the other two campgrounds in the park. The bathroom/showers were relatively clean and functioned well with nice hot showers. The electric sites functioned as expected but, they all seem very well used. Not much in the way of grass (bit of a drought at the time) and lots of little bits of garbage all over our campsite. All the electrical sites were occupied while we were there and a lot of the other sites near the modern bathroom were occupied. If you want privacy and a less worn campsite I would suggest booking a non-electrical site further away from modern bathroom. Oh, another plus water from spigots around campground was good.
TravelerVery hard to get level spot on the upper lake side sites I’m at site 21 I had a great time there was a band playing on the lake during the day
Trego sits along the Namekagon River, a tributary of the St. Croix River, flowing through northwestern Wisconsin's pine forests at 1,180 feet elevation. The waterway creates numerous camping opportunities with sandy riverbanks and access points for paddlers. Most campgrounds operate from May through October, with late summer bringing frequent rainfall that can affect camping conditions.

Waterslide fun: A heated pool and waterslide provide entertainment at Hayward KOA. "Large 9ft heated pool, mini golf, large playground, horse shoes, volleyball, nice size water slide, covered stage for music, ice cream shop, huge jump pillow, and much more," shares Nate C. about Hayward KOA.
Lake swimming: Cranberry Lake at Totogatic Park offers beach access and fishing. "Camped at site #34 on Oct 24, 2023... Our site had a nice view of Cranberry Lake; there was a deck behind our site," writes Fred S.
Quiet rustic options: Earl Park Landing provides basic free camping with pit toilets and water. "For what it is - a rustic, small, free campground - it's very nice... Picnic tables, fire ring, pit toilets, and a water station are the total of the amenities," explains Nola R. about Earl Park Landing.
Lakefront convenience: Shell Lake Municipal Park combines water access with town services. "Sites are tightly spaced but mostly perfectly level. All of the sites I checked had at least 30A electric; most also had 50A. All have water and it appears all but the very back row along the municipal parking lot have sewer as well," reports Kerry M. about Shell Lake Municipal Park.
Kid-friendly activities: Red Barn Campground features farm-based entertainment. "Adorable family campground on a farm that has nice large campsites. The campground revolves around children. A huge playground, pony rides, animal parades and mini golf are only a few things that happen at Red Barn," says Courtney C.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require preparation for uneven ground. "This campground is great if your wanting to work on your camper leveling skills. You know you have a collapsible shovel tucked away somewhere, here's your chance!" warns Max P. about Anchor Woods Campground.
Weekend congestion: River access points become busy during peak season. "On weekend days the canoe landing, which is directly adjacent to the camping, is very busy. There's an outfitter that brings canoes/kayaks and innertubes here, and this section of the river is very popular with tubers," notes Nola R.
Roadside noise: Some sites experience traffic sounds. "The main road nearby is a little noisy but everything else was great!!" mentions Tori K. about Shell Lake Municipal Park.
Swimming options: Beaches and pools offer water recreation for different ages. "Nice campground with lake views! Very nice beach and located in a very walkable area!" reports Tori K.
Entertainment variety: Many campgrounds schedule regular family activities. "The 126 year old barn on the premises holds barn dances, and indoor movies," explains Courtney C. about Red Barn Campground.
Space considerations: Some family sites offer more room than others. "The sites are close together, but that's okay, because everyone keeps to themselves. All in all its a pretty great place!" says Lynn N. about Hayward KOA.
Dump station logistics: Check dump station locations and access. "Taking off one star for the coin-operated showers and the absolutely ridiculous placement of the dump station that requires maneuvering around one of the campground loops and blocking part of a main road to dump from the correct side of your RV," cautions Deb M. about Washburn County Totogatic Park.
Tree clearance: Larger rigs may struggle at some locations. "Love all this campsite has to offer with amenities! Beautiful area as well. But there are alot of trees that make it very challenging for larger rigs," warns Sheila H. about Hayward KOA.
Utility hookups: Full hookup availability varies by location and site. "For the 1st time doing a full hook up, it was great!!!!" shares Debbie V. about Anchor Woods Campground.
