Namekagon: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer) Overall Rating: 4. Great water access campground . No trails right at the campground, but for a cross coin ski trail just past the cg entrance. We were here to visit Croix NWW - a bit of a drive from the cg.

This campground is beautiful and spacious and we were able to get a spot on the water side even though we were coming for the weekend and did not have reservations. My only qualms is that if you are looking to "get away" and for a more remote feel, this is a more family friendly campground and there aren't many trails and such nearby through the national forest. It was difficult for us to try to go do things since we were ill prepared and forgot our maps and cell phone usage was impossible since there is no service. Otherwise, the campground served us well to just get away and relax and the pooch loved it.

Note: the location of this campground is inaccurate on the map.

A group of us camps here about every other year. This year we were here late July in sites 1,2,3,4 and 6. All are heavily wooded and none right on lake. Boat Landing is great, boats can be pulled up on shore and left there safely. We’ve also had sites 9,10 and 11 which are larger and closer to lake but not on it. There are 2 distinct loops in campground; this one is less crowded. Nice nature trail adjacent. Several bars and super clubs on lake. Fun sandbar to party on.
