The Best Camping Near Brule, Wisconsin

This is a small state forest campground adjacent to the beautiful and wild Brule River of northern Wisconsin. There are drive-in sites for both  tenters and folks with small RVs, but be advised there are no hook-ups. The sites are large, well spaced, and rustic, with basic latrines and a communal water pump. The campground is fairly small and fairly remote, however the garbage receptacles were overflowing so clearly staff arent visiting very often and there wasnt evidence of a campground  host so I would be a bit concerned about supervision of the campground if I was camping alone, hence I docked my review by one star. That being said, the pros are many, especially for those wanting access to this special river. There are trails up and down the river, for shore casting, and access to the shallows ir bridge fishing as well, and the fishing is equally good for angling or fly fishing. The very best aspect of this campground is its selection of paddle-in or hike-in campsites along the river, large campsites nestled in tall forest pines that could accomodate fishing or canoeing groups. The canoe landing is nicely developed and has easy access, and there are great canoe racks adjacent to the landing as well. This landing is an easy days paddle from a put-in at the outfitter to the south on Highway 2, and an easy paddle from here to the next stops  on the Brule River Water Trail, so you could easily plan a nice multi day canoe trip even if you didnt have your own gear. As far as a water trail with canoe campsites go, thus is one of the best II’ve seen! 

Ideal for canoe campi g or fishing

You’re not stacked right on top of one another, good space between camp sites. Perfect for fishing and kayaking the Brule River 

Nice little campground

This is a very simple but solid campground. I stayed here while fishing the Brule River and would recommend it

Simple but solid

First time at this campground but will definitely be coming back. Great access to the river, campsites aren’t too small and spread out a decent amount. Bathrooms near the campsites and cleaner than usual when camping. Trees keep everything shaded most of the day. Decent location- not a long drive to the superior lake! Also the cutest red squirrels EVERYWHERE! Posted a video of one and the noises they make! Super cool!

Great Campground! I’m 

This is a bit out of the way but it’s a nice, small rustic campground. The sites are medium size but give you privacy from others. A vault toilet and water pump are centrally located. Recycling and garbage bins are near the exit. 

Follow the .9 mile trail along the river or drive over to Lake Superior. We went over to Orienta falls. It’s on google maps but we didn’t see signs on the road. It’s a short hike to a spot with local history. And old power company built the dam.

This is a nice spot in the Brule state forest.

Rustic and away from the main highway 

Easy river access with canoe racks. Rustic and simple sites. Well maintained pit toilets. Each site equipped with picnic table, fire pit, and bench. 
The campground does not appear to be frequently monitored. We noticed several sites were well over capacity, and occupied sites without reservation notes on the site poles. Overall, it was quiet during quiet hours, clean, and campers had high utilization of the river access. 

River access 

Lots of shade.  Site 45 did have access for solar to catch some rays part of the day. Very quiet. Trails and fishing nearby.
