Coon Fork Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Reservations are available at Coon Fork Campground, which runs $17 per night for standard sites and $20 for lakeside spots, making it one of the more affordable county campgrounds in camping near Eau Claire County Forest. The campground sits well off the main road, so traffic noise is minimal. With 108 total sites, roughly 30 are first-come, first-served, and the rest can be reserved in advance.

Tree cover is consistent throughout the campground, and site spacing gives campers room to breathe. As Megan R. notes, "many trees helps to provide some privacy between campsites." Some loops are better configured for tents, while Loop D is set aside for self-contained RV units. Full hookups including electric, water, and sewer are available, along with a dump station. Fire rings, picnic tables, and a bench at each site are standard across the campground.

Water access is the most frequently mentioned draw. The lake allows non-motorized craft only, so kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats fit the bill. Rentals are available on-site. Two beaches provide swimming access, though dogs are not permitted on either. Hiking and biking trails run through the property, and Amy G. points out that a handful of sites, including A3 and 2LR, work particularly well for hammocking.

The shower house and bathrooms draw consistently positive mentions across reviews for cleanliness. Firewood sells for $6 per bundle, and ice is also available on-site, though cash is required for those purchases. Raccoons are active in the area, and staff hand out trash bags at check-in to help manage them. Quiet hours are enforced, and a ranger is on-site. The campground stays open year-round, though water activities are naturally more practical from late spring through early fall.

Coon Fork County Park sits just to the northwest for campers wanting to compare nearby options. This campground works well for families with kids, paddlers, and RV campers who want full hookups at a county-managed facility without paying state park prices.

Lovely campground with lake views

The campground is lovely considering it's only $20 for lakeside ($17 non lakeside). It has a shower house, bathroom, dump station, wood for sale ($6/bundle), ice for sale and is non electric. The sites are very generous with a lot of green between spaces. You are not on top of your neighbor.

I like to hammock, and while not a lot of the sites are ideal, they're are a few that are. A3 was one ($17 non lake) and 2LR ($20 lakeside). The latter was perfect for several hammocks.

All sites have very clean fire rings, picnic table and a bench next to the fire pit.

There is a totally separate loop (Loop D) for units that are self contained.

If you don't make it before the office closes, there is self check in. A total of 108 spaces with about 30 that are first come.

Very little road noise here… Pretty far off the road. I did have noisy radio neighbors the second night I stayed, but it happens sometimes.That did not reflect on the campground itself.

Raccoons frequent the park, hence the name, so they will give you trash bags at check in to keep them at bay. That's a great way to help control the problem.

Great camping!!

This is a great place to camp. We have been back a few times. They have sites on the lake and off. If you can get a site on the water I highly recommend. There is a trail between the site and the water but still is great. The bathrooms were always nice and clean with hot showers. Not much for play grounds but the kids enjoyed skating around the looks.

Great Spot to Get Away from the City!

This was a beautiful camping spot with close water access. There was plenty of area nearby to hike or go swimming and there was a cool water run off that you can walk down the side of. There was plenty of wild life nearby and the camping spot was very clean!

Favorite campground in EC County

Spacious campsites, surrounded by trees. Try to get a lake side site, they are amazing! Hot showers, flush toilets, firewood available for purchase. Great campsite for tent or rv camping. Bring your kayaks, canoes, or inflatables but leave motorboat at home as they are not allowed on the lake. They also upgraded the playground equipment on the dayside beach this year. Only complaint is that there are 2 beaches but dogs not allowed on either beach.

Plenty of trees and fun activities!

Coon Fork campground has many trees, which helps to provide some privacy between campsites. It still feels like being out in nature even though there are other campers nearby. Kayaks, paddleboats, and other items can be rented. During some weekends there is live music. Clean bathrooms with showers. Ice, extra parking passes, and wood can only be purchased with cash.

Children freindly, clean and comfortable

Great for kids! Way more fun later in the summer so you can go swimming. Although, children don't seem to notice cold water anyway!

Pine trees everywhere and some camp lots more open then others. Playgroud, shower/bathrooms are decent. Quiet hours enforced, DNR on duty and sheriff tends to drive through.
