Rustic camping on a small quiet lake

This small, rustic campground is a quiet beauty. The road in added to the remote feeling. Most campsites have plenty of private space. Vault toilets are centrally located. In the middle of the week there were still empty sites to choose from. However from looking on Google it seems to be a popular spot so weekends may fill up.

Emily Lake is beautiful. A small, public boat launch right in camp. We would love more hiking trails but we ventured out to see the local sites. This is one to remember for return visits.

Quiet but active

Lake Emily is in Florence county. Very popular from opening to clean see of the season. Great lake and views. Boat ramp fishing grills. Many well forested campsites. Well maintained and clean. Open areas for groups outside of camping area. Good for pop-up and tents. And room for some larger campers. Great area with lots of wildlife.
