Beautiful surprise

Just stopped for the night, but we will be back! Nice privacy and beautiful lakeside sites. We will reserve next time to get the perfect site. We were lucky to get a place on the spur of the moment. Edited to add: potable water was brown but clear.

Something For Everyone

This park is a wilderness jewel! If you cycle, the paved forest road to the campground is a roll-curvy jewel through Porcupine Wilderness area. You’ll feel like your 12 yrs old again while riding it. North Country Trail hiking trail cuts through the park and a 1 mile hike around Bass Lake would be perfect for kids. Don’t forget 3 swimming beaches! Hint: you can reserve sites through www.recreation.gov but many of the best sites are first come, first served. Only about 10% occupied this weekend but many sites reserved for Memorial Day.I’m here on 5/22 and yesterday was 80 with a gorgeous evening sun & this morning is a wet 42 degrees. No ticks or mosquitos today! Level sites, each with canopy openings and comfortable distances between sites.

Unbelievable camping experience here. The sites are diverse in options for both interior forest and some lake views. Hosts are great. We had fishing boats to tie off at waters edge and walk up to site. This is real forest camping. Fishing was fun. Great 4 days away from the office.

Beautiful Lake Owen

We’ve camped here a few times over the years. The most recent was in June 2020 in site 89 which is on the Bass lake loop. We didn’t make reservations ahead and campground ended up being full by Saturday night. Many nice sites, some are reservable and others aren’t. The lake (Owen)is beautiful, many beautiful homes and super clear lake for excellent snorkeling. There are also 2 islands on the lake that you can boat in camp to which we’ve done twice and was amazing One less star because the boat landing within the park has very little parking requiring us to return the trailer to the campsite and walk back and forth to the landing. Our site wasn’t on the lake but a number of them are

Rustic and beautiful

Primative campground within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Large sites for the most part, suitable for tents or RVs. See map in photos for notes on the physical attributes of each campsite.

No electric, water, or sewer hook ups. If you need to fill your freshwater tank there is a pump across from site #35 that had room to park our camper and fill with a hose (bring your own). Some people brought generators, which is allowed but annoying if you're trying to enjoy the peace and quiet.

No showers, but a dip in Lake Owen was refreshing. Our site was near the path to the beach, which is a short walk. No dogs allowed in the water or beach. Kayaks and canoes can be rented from the campground hosts.

Good food and options nearby in Cable. For amazing bloody Mary's head to Garnish Inn (about 20 min away).

Poor cell service.

This is a wonderful State Park park your boat next to your site

This is this is a wonderful State Park public Vault toilets in a beautiful Sandy Beach for swimming enclosed and marked off along with the Beautiful Clear Lake on one side perfect for boating fishing and watersports public access to the lake and there are many sites where you can pull your boat right up too without the need to launch and Recovery daily large and private sites there are no hookups but that's to be expected with a state park wonderful place if you look in to get away from society and enjoy your summer the right way

AWESOME Campground

This is a great campground with a ton of sites. None of them have electric but they all have an amazing fire ring with a grill on top along with a nice area to park a car as well as a flat area for a tent!

Beautiful campground in the middle of the Chequamegon National Forest

We stayed at Two Lakes for the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival in September. The campground was gorgeous and we will definitely back. It is a little bit of a trek to some of the mountain biking trails in the area, which was the purpose of our trip. I thought we would be closer to the water but our campsite had a stairs that led down to the lake. We sought out a couple spots we would prefer the next time we were there with better lake views but overall, this was a great campground. The hosts were also very friendly. I imagine if would would have gone a week or two later the fall colors would have been absolutely incredible
