Copper Falls State Park Campground

The campground was quiet and well kept. We had a walk to site and carts were available to haul our items. The staff around the park were very helpful and loved to chat. There were many informational signs around detailing history or information on the wildlife. There were also updated postings about events in the park. We had vault toilets by our site but there was a main building with showers and modern toilets. Lots of places near the park to buy local fire wood. Great little camp store. The trails were phenomenal and some were even handicap accessible which is amazing. One of the best kept parks I have ever been to. Would return

Large size wooded sites

Copper Falls State Park is a fantastic destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The hiking trails are well-maintained and offer beautiful scenic views, making for an enjoyable trek through nature. The campsites are spacious and provide a good amount of privacy, allowing for a peaceful camping experience. The bathrooms are quite basic but sufficient for a state park. Most sites have plenty of shade, which is a plus during hot days. Additionally, there are some nice walk-in sites available, perfect for those who prefer a bit more seclusion. Overall, a wonderful place to camp and hike!

Loved how peaceful this park was. I stayed at site 40, which backs up to the woods. Site 41 is a little close, but I would still pick this same spot when returning. Bathrooms were clean. HOWEVER, beware of the mosquitoes! They were everywhere in the bathroom making showering intense to be quick. They were so bad that I eventually cut my trip short. Would go back, but later in the year.

The greenhorn Campsite Inspector get a thumbs down for personality. We cut our weekend short after only one night. We could not take the park admin who was checking campsites. After 3 visits tipped over into what felt like harassment...the rain would have been nicer to deal with. We just packed it up and went home...which is right around the corner. We're local and it's the first time we decided to camp in over 30years. It was a bummer to feel so unwelcomed there. We will continue to enjoy the beautiful surrounding and hope that maybe the staff there learns a few valuable lessons on beside manners.

Beautiful park. Loved the hiking and waterfalls. Campsites were big and could hear the stream behind ours.

First time up to this park, and camping for the weekend. Campsites are very well sized and spaced out pretty good. There are only vault toilets on the north side, but flushing one’s on the south side. There’s a concession stand towards the north end of the park. They sell snacks, park souvenirs, apparel, and ice cream! This is a very family friendly place. All of the campers were super friendly.

This was our first time camping at Copper Falls, we had previously visited for a day trip, completely taken, we knew we needed to return. The Southern campground doesn’t have any electric and mostly for tent campers, there were still some trailers there. We were in the first loop with woods and some hills behind us, wonderful except for the night there was an intense storm. There was really no place to put our tent that wouldn’t have had some water run off. That’s really the only negative thing. The sites themselves are gorgeously wooded and nice sized. Copper Falls is stunningly beautiful and much of the infrastructure was designed by the CCC. The ranger presence is strong which meant quiet hours were enforced. The facilities were clean and kept that way. They really have something special there and it is clear that they know it with the pride and care used to operate this park. Grab an ice cream sandwich from the concession they are locally made and out of this world!

Beautiful state park. Good hiking, biking & ski trails throughout. Stayed here in late October- shower house closed for season. This review is for the south campground- no connections. Lots of trees. Spacing between sites are good, providing a little bit of privacy. Good well water. Vault toilets are somewhat clean. Campsites very clean. Paved road through campground; gravel site driveways. Friendly & helpful camp host & park ranger. 2 bars T-Mobile. Would stay here again.

Great hikes and pretty well dispersed

This campground has well spaced sites with electric.   There are two campgrounds, north and south.   The north has water spigots to fill your RV or water bottles and two toilet buildings.   The south has a dump station and water fill.

There is a playground, ballfield, concession stand and lots of picnic areas.   

The sites are tucked in the trees for privacy and all have a picnic table and fire ring.   There is also a lake and kayaks available to rent.  There  is a town less than 5 miles away and you can find groceries and gas.

Another nice Wisconsin state park with plenty of privacy on each site. Room between with lots of growies. No cell signals at all, or at least no ATT & very limited intermittant Verizon. Nice trails and beautiful falls. Plenty of big rigs scattered throughout the campground. Roads are nice, but windy. Another very busy park.

The doughboy trail was a pretty easy walk for our younger kids. Lots of great views and places to take a photo. The campground was well spaced out but crowded for the holiday weekend. Electric on the sites, and a dump station is available. Would make a fun weekend stop.

Wow, Copper Falls has quickly jumped to my number one state park experience in Wisconsin. I’ve lived in Wisconsin my whole life and did not expect such beauty in this northern part of the state.

We decided to camp at a walk in site (#49) and this site will absolutely be our preferred site for future bookings at Copper Falls. The walk in sites are obviously more secluded but the size and views at our site were amazing! Additionally, #49 is the first of the walk-in sites and is closest to the small parking lot and bathrooms at the bottom of the hill. The staff also provided carts for you to haul wood or belongings up to your site.

The hiking trails were breathtaking! The views of the waterfalls were amazing and again, unexpected for Wisconsin. The trails themselves were well maintained with fencing/handrails lining the cliffs and rock paths. Super easy hike but there are lots of stairs!

Needless to say, we will be back!

We stayed at the walk-in sites at the South Campground. Our site (52) was just beyond a hill so we couldn’t see a single other camper. There were quite a few mosquitos in mid-July but what else can you expect. The site was spacious and had good tree cover. The trails in the park were well maintained, allowing easy access without taking away from the natural beauty. I only wish we had had more time to explore!

If you are looking for a place to camp where you can reflect and find peace, Copper Falls is right for you.  The hiking trails around the falls are breathtaking in all seasons.  It offers some challenges for persons with disabilities, but they offer an ADA access to the falls so all can enjoy. Take some time to discover Wisconsin's northern territory around Ashland and Bayfield and you will not be disappointed.

Copper Falls was absolutely amazing!! I have lived in WI my whole life, and was so disappointed that 2018 was the first time visiting it! 

We stayed in one of the South Campgrounds, which turned out to be really nice. We liked the loop because it meant more privacy with the woods between. And it was great for finding kindling! We also brought our bikes which was convenient because we were able to bike down to the hiking trails rather than driving and parking. 

We went to Copper and Brownstone falls the first day and the second day went to Red Granite Falls and it was so stunning! We couldn't believe there were waterfalls like that right in WI! 

It was so beautiful and the trails weren't crowded at all. Not sure why, with views like this! Although it is quite a drive from Madison or Milwaukee, it is definitely worth it!

Awesome trails! Could walk to the trails from your sites. Sites were relatively private and very spacious (we fit two tents and two cars in one space along with a canopy). Great beach as well!

Awesome scenery and hike.

A popular campground for good reason.  We were able to get a site without a reservation mid week in Oct. but would have liked to stay longer.  We had a nice site in the woods - semi private in feel, lots of toads!!! The hiking in this park is excellent - observation areas, water falls etc. There were open areas nearby too so we were able to do some kite flying!   We also spent a little bit of time in nearby Mellen  - the little historical society museum was wonderful ... very eclectic and all things Mellen.

Two campgrounds in this state park - South and North but only a total of 56 sites between them, 23 of them with electric. Saw it was filling up even on a weekday in September so made a reservation but still could not get an electric site. Sites were generous in size and most has good separation with lots of trees. Nice hiking on the North Country Scenic Trail to Red Granite Falls and the Doughboys Trail to see the park’s namesake falls plus another and a cascade. We came from camping in Michigan State parks which are much nicer so we were a bit spoiled. My rating would have been higher if there was a bath house with showers in the North campground; the pit toilets were ok but it was too long of a walk to the south campground where there are flush toilets and showers. They were ok but not great (not as nice as Michigan State parks). Lots of hungry mosquitoes as it has not gotten chilly yet so bring bug spray! Very spotty cell service.

There is many different areas to this park. A nice trail leading you around the falls, with an area for you to cool off in and search for cool rocks. Easy to hike with kids, my girls were 4 & 10, they both enjoyed seeing the waterfalls for the first time. There is also a lake nearby to swim in, which was clear and cool. We also visited Ashland which was about a 30 minute drive north.

We decided to spend one night in the north campground here in our sprinter van earlier this month. It was $45 for the night and worth every penny. We had Site 8 which was right across from the bathroom. Very quiet, but most sites were booked! We loved how it was dog friendly in the campground. I thought there was a decent amount of space between sites, and the bugs weren’t bad once we got the fire going and some bug spray. My husband and I took our toddler on the Doughboy’s Trail (parts of a couple trails) and the views were stunning! We cannot wait to go back and explore other parts of the park, especially Loon Lake!

If your from Wisconsin this sits at the very north of the State. If your looking for areas to visit while camping here you may have a little bit of a drive. The park features some of the best waterfalls in the State and the trails surrounding those falls can get you pretty close for some spectacular photos! The North Country Scenic Hiking runs through the park. This is the longest hiking trail in the county and stretches over 4500 miles. The park does have a beach but if you have a four legged friend with you the pet beach isn't the best as your subject to the boat landing area and isn't very inviting. You can walk through this park and never get bored of the scenes. If you like being surrounded by green this is the place! A nice park to get away from any amenities or thoughts of the city!

We really enjoyed this campground. It had some nice trails and waterfalls.

Great park! North Country Trail passes thru! Waterfalls and trails that are amazing. Campground has showers that were quirky, some had minimal pressure, but when you’re camping water is water. Staff is friendly. Never had a problem getting a site, even in summer. Small towns around with stores, supplies, etc. Beautiful part of the country. The last time in there was a drought so the river levels and falls were really low, so check before you go.

Campgrounds are very nice and it’s a very beautiful area. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!
