The campground was clean and fairly quiet. Paved roads, Semi-secluded campsites are nice. Nice clear lake with sand bottom. Nice beach and boat landing. Bathrooms and shower house were clean. The dump station was very handy. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. The downside was that cellular service was pretty much non existent. Our phones were in SOS mode the entire time even with a cell booster on our RV. Not every site was electric hook up. And also all water sites are now reservation required instead of half being first come first serve which is a disappointment. Overall the campground is very nice.

Beautiful campsite! Easy access to the water and launching kayak was no problem. The lake was very clear and we saw lots of fish. The bathrooms were well maintained and shower was always warm. Only complaint was that the fire grill grate was missing most of the bars. Made grilling a little difficult. Generally really happy about the site!

Our Yooper Run hot rod group selected two primitive group sites, oak and ash. They sites were larger than expected for 6 vehicles. No electric but that was a plus when the stars shined above. The shower and restroom building was close by, and had lights and running water. Showers had ample hot water. The camp host greeted us and made us feel welcome. Well book again. The beach was clean as well as the lake.

Boulder Lake is always wonderful. Clean rest rooms and showers. Campsites are kept nice. We make sure we go at least once a year .

Overall, a nice campground. Campsites were huge, which is nice for being able to move around in the site and be able to have multiple options for setting up. We had a large group that included 10 sites. We book next to each other to avoid disturbing other campers. 2 of our sites left a day early, but the sites were still paid for through the next day. This typically happens and that site stays empty. Boulder Lake decided to double dip and rent out one of the sites without a refund to the original payee. We parked a car in the other empty site so they could not do the same with that site and we were confronted, but told the camp host it was not right for them to double book and it was technically still the 1st campers site. We have never had a campground do this. The only other "complaint" would be that the firepits were all very full of ash, so they do not get emptied very often.

We go to this campground alot. The only complaint is that the campground host does not need to keep her dog on a leash------but i have to. Why is that??? Signs clearly say, dogs must be leashed at all times. I asked her. All I got was don't worry, he's 10
@GiseleLB8B8070 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #10
Will definitely be back. Love the park!

Boulder Lake Campground is the most family-friendly campground in the Nicolet. This trip we were in a larger group of 6 couples in a Group Campground, and everything went beautifully. Love this place.

Nice Clean sites and public areas. Over all a great place to camp.
@GwenneC1491789 · Camped on May 29, 2024 at Campsite #42
the campsites were nicely spaced & the bathhouse was very nice. These are the 2 main items I believe people are interested. Then, it's activities. We enjoy hiking. There was very little of this available. It seems most people come here to fish. Beautiful lake.
@KenS7241932 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #42
Boulder Lake campground is great. However, sites 41 & 42 are so sloped that there is no way to get your camper or motorhome level. They both have electricity but the state needs to fix these 2 sites.
@BradleyH440951 · Camped on Aug 27, 2023 at Campsite #34
Beautiful, large campsites with reasonable privacy between them. Great access to the lake as well as hiking. The Hosts were also friendly and helpful!
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #47
Nice campground, large sites, friendly Hosts.
@PamelaP6535937 · Camped on Aug 1, 2023 at Campsite #48
We enjoyed the beach area - it was kept very clean. It was also nice that downed tree limbs were allowed to be picked up and used as firewood for campfires. Love the deep firepits with the grate for grilling food.
@CraigA6131681 · Camped on Jul 31, 2023 at Campsite #13
Loved this campground. This was our first outing with our camping trailer, and we couldn't be more pleased with the site. Great hosts and clean restroom and shower area.
@BerniceJF7E3AA · Camped on Jul 24, 2023 at Campsite #46
Great place to camp!! Loved the lake sites and the beach!
@CharleneN2CC4E · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #42
Beautiful campground! We were able to get a site with electric, but most were primitive. Nothing nearby, but ours was an overnight stay Ame we enjoyed the stay.
@SherryR9079176 · Camped on Jul 15, 2023 at Campsite #43
We love camping at Boulder Lake. The sites are wooded and spacious. The lake is great for swimming, kayaking and has a nice beach. We also enjoy biking and hiking there.
@DianneB1533903 · Camped on Jun 26, 2023 at Campsite #48
Too many dogs barking and off their leash. People not following camp ground rules. Loud music, driving the wrong way on 1 way roads. I’ve camped there when I was a kid, but I will be very hesitant to go back. Overall not a very good experience for a national camp ground.
@VirginiaG99998 · Camped on Jun 13, 2023 at Campsite #24
Beautiful location, waterfront campsites. A little buggy on the CCC and Interpretive hiking trails. Hot water in showers takes a while to warm up. Clean, roomy sites. Considerate campers.
@SherryP4008651 · Camped on Jun 13, 2023 at Campsite #12
Would be nice to have a playground and/or basketball hoop for kids.
@JoanS7048588 · Camped on Jun 12, 2023 at Campsite #46
We enjoyed our stay at Boulder lake . It is a beautiful campground.
@SusetteRB65658 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #40
Beautiful wooded campground. There was a very helpful camp host who immediately helped us find a site which was a better fit for our 30 foot trailer.
@AngelaC1480345 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #24
We had the absolute best time enjoying a lake site. it was so relaxing and a beautiful view every day. Doesn’t get any better!! The kids could swim right at the site, it was so nice. Thank you :)

@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!!!
