Best Dispersed Camping near Woodruff, WI
Several free dispersed camping options cluster around small lakes northeast of Woodruff in Wisconsin's national forest land. These rustic sites typically include fire rings and picnic tables but lack amenities such as drinking water, toilets, or trash service. Wolf Lake, Woodbury Lake, and Harriet Lake campsites accommodate small campers up to 20 feet along with tent camping, while Three Johns Lake and McKinley Lake sites are primarily for tent campers. A camper wrote, "The small lake belongs to a pair of loons that will share their fish and sandy beach."
Road conditions vary significantly, with some sites accessible via paved roads and others requiring navigation of narrow, pot-holed forest roads. Most locations allow camping for up to 14 days and permit pets. Horn Lake Camping, located farther southwest, offers two primitive sites with fire rings at a boat landing. One camper shared, "The road is tight and very twisty. There are numerous spots to camp, but no pits to the left. Anyone up to 20 feet would be OK going to the right where the established 2 sites are."
