Old Veterans State Camp Ground

Sites are very spacious and clean with plenty of woods for privacy between each site. We stayed at site 10. Fire pits are nice. We didn’t see any ticks but maybe it’s due to time of year. Pit toilets only but they were clean so that’s fine. The fountain water is a bit rusty but does fine for cleaning up. Personally I wouldn’t drink it. The swimming hole could use some TLC as it’s a bit over grown... Sites are very spacious and clean with plenty of woods for privacy between each site. We stayed at site 10. Fire pits are nice. We didn’t see any ticks but maybe it’s due to time of year. Pit toilets only but they were clean so that’s fine. The fountain water is a bit rusty but does fine for cleaning up. Personally I wouldn’t drink it. The swimming hole could use some TLC as it’s a bit over grown but the water was clean and nice to take a dip and for kids to play in. The trails around are nice for walking. A short drive to the state park has very nice and clean family showers. Not much to do at the state park but it’s still nice and quiet. Overall we would go back!

All campsites are reservable on the DNR reservation system. Drinking water is provided at a centrally located fountain; water is not clear but tastes fine. No sites have a lake view but all are spacious. There’s ample spacing and vegetation between most campsites. Governor Thompson state park is just a short drive or bike ride away. Compared to the state park, campsites here cost less and the swimming beach is nicer. Those looking for more amenities may prefer the state park which offers electric sites, showers and restrooms with running water. None of those can be found at Veteran’s Lake.

I wish I could give it a 2 1/2. This is a rustic campground that cost us, as out of state visitors about $35. The water is not drinkable, it’s red and murky, even after letting it run for a while. There are pit toilets. No electricity and no dump station. They were black flies in late April. If you’re just coming to fish, this might be OK for you.

If you’re just coming to fish, this might be OK for you. If you’re coming for a family vacation, you may want to look elsewhere. Advantage: The campsites along the river are spacious and private. We stayed here because it was open in late April and a little else was.

This place is a cursed patch, an ugly mark on God’s green earth. Mosquitoes. Beware of mosquitoes. Only go to this place if you absolutely must and there’s no other place to go. And even then maybe reconsider what you’re doing with your life and think about doing something else.
