Overview
Tucked in a forest of pines, evergreens and hardwoods, Twin Lakes campground overlooks the sparkling blue Twin Lake, offering a secluded oasis for both tent and RV campers.
Recreation
Boating and fishing are popular activities on the lake, with excellent trout and pan fish available. The area holds many opportunities to encounter rare species of fish, wildlife and plants. Bird watching, nature study programs and viewing the vivid fall foliage are also among popular activities for visitors. Nearby hunting opportunities for big game, upland game birds, waterfowl and small game, exists across the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Fishing for trout or other game fish is available in any of the 600 available lakes or 1,200 miles of stream. For hiking enthusiasts, 800 miles of trails are located throughout the north woods. For those that enjoy quiet places, the forest contains five designated Wilderness areas and several semi-primitive non-motorized areas. Motorized recreation is also available to the public, with approximately 300 miles of designated trail winding through the diverse landscape.
Facilities
Twin Lakes is 19-acres in size and has a boat ramp for activities like canoeing and fishing. The campground is adjacent to the Round Lake Non-motorized area for biking and hiking. Grills, drinking water and vault toilets create an ideal atmosphere for parties and family get-togethers.
Natural Features
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest covers more than 1.5 million acres of Wisconsin's Northwoods.

The pristine Twin Lake provides a breathtaking backdrop for a traditional camping experience.

Solitude
This was perfect. Very rustic campground. I was actually the only one here this weekend. Only noise is from the wind turbine in the middle of the lake. It has lots of fish but I was a little late in the season to catch too much. Saw lots of good trout swimming by the bank. Bonus of this campground is the boardwalk to the other lake. Small little lake where it is just peaceful. Loads of stars here! Lots of trails to hike. I spent the day hiking the Round Lake trail and had it all to myself.
This campground is a true gem...I would highly suggest it. Site 8 is a larger site that would be used for a double group...but it was perfect for sunset. Most sites have a way to the water and some have stairs down to the water.

Trout stocked lake
Campground is pretty typical of the national forest type. Which translates to “really great!”love this woodsy spot in the Wisconsin north woods. Great little fishing lake too with stocked trout.
Quiet with beautiful sunsets on a small lake
What a wonderful place to relax! Some sites by the lake have good views but all are nice. Sites on the forest side had longer grass. A pump house is a source for fresh drinking water. Two vault toilets are really clean and surprisingly bug free.
The forest road is mostly paved with only a short stretch of smooth gravel. We passed by many small lakes and other wet/pond areas. This must be a factor in the large number of mosquitoes here. A boat launch is right in camp. The only other campers are a family who brought their own trailer of canoes. A hiking trail starts at the entrance and goes around Round Lake. An informative sign maps the route. We saw deer and fawn, rabbits and so many mallards in a couple hikes.
This is a wonderful spot but bring something to keep the mosquitoes at bay.
