Great campsites and a beautiful lake.

@DaveP9627805 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #6

Nice campground, well maintained. Water is not potable due to high magnesium levels so bring your own.

@STEVENM2892720 · Camped on Sep 5, 2023 at Campsite #7

Great location easy access to lake

@CarsonSFD005AB · Camped on Aug 30, 2023 at Campsite #6

The campground and sites are wonderful, not cramped together with good size sites. Only accessible by dirt road and the lake itself (Moose Lake) is nothing special, very dirty water and the fishing is not great.

The water at this campground is contaminated. It is from a hand pump well that has toxic levels of manganese. The manganese levels can lead to kidney failure according to the sign posted there by the health department. This should be listed on the campground information on the website. The sign that is posted says do not use the water for infants or if you are over 50 (which I am). There were no other water sources available. Bring your own water.

Beautiful campground and beautiful lake. The campground was quite and peaceful. We had a great time and enjoyed how small the campground is. We will definitely be back!!

Lots of mosquitos but well worth it. We saw 3 baby moose. Black Lake Trail was nice and Clam Lake Groceries was about 10 miles away with diesel.

Nice and quiet camping spot. Bathrooms were clean, water hydrant wasn't too far of a walk and the beach and boat ramp were well kept. Mosquitoes weren't too bad but bug spray would be advised. Quite the drive down gravel roads to get there but well worth it. Will be making plans to return again.

Quiet and clean campground. Nestled in nicely among the trees with good spacing between each camper/tent. Bathrooms are very clean. Recommend.

@CarolE8523267 · Camped on Jul 2, 2022 at Campsite #2

Great access to the lake directly from our site

@GregoryS158769 · Camped on Jul 1, 2022 at Campsite #2

Beautiful, private site. Loons made the nighttime magical.

@JonathanR63959 · Camped on Jun 24, 2022 at Campsite #4

Stayed on site 4 which had plenty of space for the RV and a great little path down to the water. The small sandy beach was perfect for swimming and launching my paddleboard and fishing in the evening. Lots of downed logs in the water so use floating bait or you will lose it! The actual labeled beach area was terrible. The walk down was nice but the area was heavily littered with goose droppings. The beach had washed up leaves and was basically unusable. I was content with the shoreline at my camp. There is a lot of boat noise on the lake as it is half out of the CNNF or at least has many private homes on it. That is pretty normal for the area I guess. I only heard loons once on the lake and I suspect that is the reason. Overall it was a great park, bring your bug protection etc.

Great camp site. Bathroom clean. Quite surroundings. #3 site has excellent access to lake where you can leave boat, canoe, or kayak.

The site was nice and shady There was a lot of space between camp sites, so it felt private The beach was a short walk away away and the beach site was clean and grassy The water was clean and bottom was sandy The vault toilets were clean and well stocked A nice relaxing stay

Sites were clean, but there is no firewood to purchase. When booking the website said not to bring firewood, so we didn't bring any. Then there was no where listed that we could buy some close by.

@DaleR242 · Camped on Jul 29, 2021 at Campsite #11

Very little tree canopy at most sites. The restrooms were clean but the flies were terrible. Hardly anyone around during the week, but the weekend was crowded. Cell signal was sufficient.

We were on site 2 at Moose Lake. It was a very nice view of the lake. About the only trouble we had putting our 18' travel trailer on the site was it was steeper than we thought from the pictures but that wasn't too bad. If the fire pit would have been placed differently, it would have been much easier to put our trailer in a very nice spot with a view of the lake.

@KenH905 · Camped on Jul 21, 2021 at Campsite #4

Beautiful lake; private sites.

@JoanM220 · Camped on Jul 8, 2021 at Campsite #12

Quiet campground, large sites. Pretty lake.

@IsaacS386 · Camped on Jul 6, 2021 at Campsite #14

Very peaceful, the sites we a nice size, and the beach was great.

@TheresaM661 · Camped on Jun 28, 2021 at Campsite #10

We were so surprised to experience the beauty of the Cheuamegon National Forest. It’s only a few hours from the Twin Cities and we felt like we were way up north. The campground is small, private and well maintained. The dirt road in is in great shape and we saw so much wildlife (but not any elk or moose). We loved this area so much that we booked a cabin on Moose Lake for Thanksgiving. The forest offers hiking trails galore and Moose Lake is big enough for all water sports, yet private enough in spots to hide away in a kayak. I hope WI keeps this forest pristine and undeveloped. It’s a true gem and the camping was so peaceful. The campground has direct access to the lake if you have any water devices.

Nice quiet remote area with a good beach!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
