Indian Mounds — Northern Highland - American Legion State Forest

3 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching give campers plenty to do at this small Wisconsin DNR site on Lake Tomahawk, where otters, loons, and salamanders have all been spotted along the forested trails. The campground includes both drive-in and walk-in sites, with walk-in sites reserved for tent camping only. Some lakefront sites have open sightlines across the water, though reviewers note that certain sites offer little privacy. No showers on-site, but a park pass provides access to Clear Lake - North Highland/Amer Legion State Forest, which has shower facilities a few miles up the road. Electric hookups, a water pump, paved interior roads, and a dump station round out the amenities, with RVs up to 40 feet accommodated. T-Mobile users have reported 5G coverage. The town of Lake Tomahawk has fuel, bait, and food nearby. Reservations are available, and the campground is open year-round.

Guests commonly noted the scenic lakefront setting with good fishing and wildlife viewing. Some feedback indicated concerns about the reservation system and variable site privacy, though many appreciated the clean facilities.

Everything that Corey said in his review

Some of the sites are wide open with no privacy. Ours was the last one available on a weekend in July. Beach is small, but nice. Priveys are clean! 5G service with Tmobile.

Would definitely come back!

Confusing online reservations

Wisconsin had the most confusing online reservation system we have ever used. The only state that requires a state sticker with their camping fees. The parks lack amenities for the price they charge.

Simplistic, secluded, and great for kids

Nestled on Lake Tomahawk, this small campground is comprised of drive-in and walk-in sites. Walk-in sites being tent camp only, which is the option we took. There is a small beach on site, and a number of lake front sites to choose from. Oh, can't forget.. The sun sets over the lake! Paved roads made it easy for my children to navigate the grounds on their scooters. There are electric and non electric sites, a water pump, but no showers. Your park pass will give you access to Clear Lake campground (couple miles down the road), which does has showers, another beach, and also firewood sales. We meant to take the boat on multiple lakes, but the fishing on Lake Tomahawk was spectacular! Hiking the trails near our site, you really get a sense of being in the northwoods. We could hear the birds, frogs, found salamanders, seen an otter, musk rat, loons, and more.

The nearest town is Lake Tomahawk, where you can fuel up, get bait, or grab a bite to eat(maybe an ice cream cone for the kids).

As I said in the description, the grounds are simple. However, we booked three nights but felt the need at the end of our trip to book another. We'll be coming back. Safe travels.
