It was a beautiful campground, and we had a great time. The weather was gorgeous. The campsites are spacious, and we enjoyed being able to fish from the dock and the banks. We did bring the boat, but we launched it from the boat launch across the lake due to a tree being in the way of the boat launch at the campground. We are beginner campers, so it was a lot of laughs along the way as we tried to figure out how to wilderness. A lot of people had dogs with them, and everyone was SO respectful about keeping them in their site and/or on leash. It was refreshing to be able to bring our dog and not have to worry about other dogs being an issue. Overall, it was a great weekend, and we love to go back again next year. Some things to be aware of prior to going: -Staff are completely non-existent. We arrived to find our campsite occupied on our check in date because the staff had written the wrong arrival date on the reservation card. We were lucky enough to find a different site, but there is no one to call to get things sorted except Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-3. It was Saturday. Its very much a figure things out yourself kind of place, which is nice, but it would be nice to have someone to call for any major issues. -Firewood: They tell you no outside firewood is allowed in the National Forest, but there arent clear directions on what youre supposed to do for firewood. We just assumed that meant gather and cut your own and checked with a neighboring camper to make sure that was ok, but clearer directions would be good for us beginners.

Beautiful location! This is one of the best campgrounds ever when it comes to nature and beauty. My only complaints are with the dog owner who had the campsite before me. Unfortunately I stepped in dog crap and got said dog crap in my truck! Please pick up after your dogs. Also the Lodge says that it is open on its sign but it is not. Nobody opened the lodge and restaurant during its posted hours. We checked several times as did many other campers.

Such a beautiful campground! There's so much space in between each site and the animal life is very active. There's a lodge with showers available for $2 as well not that far away (driving).

Nice little campground with lots to see and explore. Bathrooms were clean and kept. Quiet area to relax and enjoy nature. AT&T cell service was nonexistent but can be picked up with a short drive out of the campground. The natural water spring shelter was nice and clean, and the water itself was cool and tasted great.

Nice campground, good spacing in-between the sites.

We love Spearhead!!!!

Great swim area, great for fishing and hiking. Great campsites. Only would say many dogs were unleashed which was concerning

@TeresaH3357633 · Camped on Aug 25, 2022 at Campsite #11

Beautiful campground with no supervision. No host was there. Unknown to us, a large event was scheduled which ran generators next to our campsite The group covered up campsite numbers making it hard for anyone else to find their site. Too many vehicles per site.

@maryw3172749 · Camped on Jul 29, 2022 at Campsite #4

Slightly disappointed with the new lodge update. None of the CCC history was replaced. Very friendly staff. The food is really good though (a little pricey for campers) and the update is beautiful. Really wish they sold ice for the campers.

@TeriT8481460 · Camped on Jul 27, 2022 at Campsite #15

Beautiful!

@PattiK1502592 · Camped on Jun 18, 2022 at Campsite #2

Had a wonderful time, as always! Can't wait to plan the return trip and looking forward to seeing the newly renovated Mondeaux Damn when it's finally reopened. We got to meet the group running it while we were up there in June and they helped us out with some much-needed ice even before they were officially open - they were so nice and helpful! It was fun to talk 'past memories with them, too (our family has been going up there since the 1960's!).

@GaryL6692356 · Camped on May 25, 2022 at Campsite #7

We arrived on Thursday for Memorial Day weekend and did not see the campground host until Saturday. I feel that the host should be on site at least by Friday for a busy holiday weekend.

This place is beautiful! Can't wait to come back!

We enjoyed our visit to Spearhead Point! A nice site with water view and plenty of room and very quiet. Plenty to do: hike, bike, boat, fish, etc.

@TerryS425 · Camped on Oct 4, 2021 at Campsite #14

We always love staying at Spearhead Point. The one thing we noticed was that the camp host was gone through out our entire stay.

This was our third time camping at Spearhead. We went during the week and after Labor Day for less campers and that is what we had. Very peaceful, loved our campsite #8. We caught and released all the fish while using our canoe. The lake was again very peaceful. The only part that we think should be addressed is the huge amount of algae and plant growth near most of the shoreline.

Beautiful setting. Quiet campground during the week.

@TomR669 · Camped on Aug 15, 2021 at Campsite #8

the camp ground needs work, fire pits are in bad shape need to be replaced

@NatalieH809 · Camped on Aug 12, 2021 at Campsite #4

Great place! Please don’t bring noisy generators here. Trail around the perimeter of peninsula is fun to explore - as well as the pine island (peninsula) attached. VERY quiet on Thursday, noisy on Friday. No swimmable area. Can bring kayaks as most sites have a personal dock!!

@SherylB654 · Camped on Aug 4, 2021 at Campsite #5

Great time on Ice Age Trail. Wonderful water from the spring. Large sites with reasonable privacy compared to state parks in WI.

@maryw410 · Camped on Jul 29, 2021 at Campsite #4

Love the new glacial well!

@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!!!
