Wooded sites along Gresham Lake give this Wisconsin DNR campground a quiet character that holds even when neighboring spots fill up. Site placement varies, with lakeside positions offering direct water access and more secluded spots further back providing additional privacy. Vault toilets and drinking water are on-site; there are no showers. A paved bike path runs nearby, doubling as a walking route. Campers exploring the region can find places to camp near Boulder Junction, or check out Birchwood Campground for a different setup a few miles out.
Description
With over 236,000 acres and more than 900 lakes within its boundaries, the Northern Highland - American Legion State Forest provides wonderfully scenic opportunities for a variety of outdoor recreation from wild and remote campsites accessible only by boat, to developed family and group campgrounds, beaches, boat launches and trails. The forest is spread across three counties near the towns of Woodruff, Minocqua and Boulder Junction. There are two main Visitor Contact Stations, at Crystal Lake and Clear Lake, where campers can check-in for reservations. Self-registration stations are available for campers at non-reservable campgrounds.
