Beautiful hidden gem of a campground encapsulated by a forest of red maples and lush undergrowth. Looks straight out of a fairytale. Hand pump works, there's one usable bathroom, and not a bad campsite here. This was the ONLY place we found a site at during the 4th of July this past year, by complete accident. Only two other groups were there when we arrived the day-of. A few miles of gravel road... Beautiful hidden gem of a campground encapsulated by a forest of red maples and lush undergrowth.

A few miles of gravel road and you're there - a small, quiet, genuine camping experience for those who want to relax IN nature and not next to it. Oh, and there are endless invasive crawdads to catch for dinner 🦐 bring a net!

Beautiful small campground. All but one campsite is on the lakeshore and there isn't a bad site here. The water pump didn't have a handle when we visited in early August 2022. Since there's just one pump in the campground, there was no drinking water available. If you don't plan to bring enough water for your full stay, you may want to call the local forest office to confirm availability of wa... Beautiful small campground. All but one campsite is on the lakeshore and there isn't a bad site here. The water pump didn't have a handle when we visited in early August 2022. Since there's just one pump in the campground, there was no drinking water available. If you don't plan to bring enough water for your full stay, you may want to call the local forest office to confirm availability of water here before your visit. The lakeshore seems swimmable at all the lakeside campsites. Small national forest campgrounds like this are becoming an endangered species in the Chequamegon Nicolet. The national forest closed two small campgrounds near here within the past decade. Make sure to get out and visit Stevens Lake to help it stay open into the future. Four of six sites were occupied when we visited mid week. Everything here is first-come first-served.

Nice small campground (6 sites) for adults who want to fish. No beach, playground or trails. Fish were not constantly biting in August but you could catch some large pike if you keep at it. Maximum depth is only 12 feet but lake is large. Lake has a number of homes and a resort on it so you may hear mowers and weed wackers, but there was only one other campsite taken on 5 of the nights we stayed...

Several loons and a bald eagle were present. I would like to go back in May to fish there before the weeds take over.

Nice place, boat ramp, site #1 most private. $7.50 with Access pass. Lots of forest roads nearby as well. Cleanest pit toliets I've ever seen. Hand pump well. Stayed 2 nights, very nice.

Quiet, minimal rv action. Water pump out of action. Tannin-stained lake looks very promising but not catching a durn thing. About half full mid-week in may.
