While not the campground my husband and I initially intended on staying at (that one was full, this was the only open one we could find), this one did the trick and was beautiful.
Sites were $15 a night, bathrooms were permanent outhouses, but well maintained and did not smell as long as toilet lids remained closed. No lights throughout the campground so you're really out there.
There isn't water or electric hookup, but campers are allowed, and you can run a generator from 7a-10p if you have one. There is a water pump, but I did not see any signs saying whether or not the water was potable.
Campsites were large and open, but still relatively private and quiet. Some were more shaded than others based on location.
Raspberry plants were around the area, and blueberries were very prolific only a couple minutes drive from the campground. I also saw what I believe to be strawberry plants, although it wasn't strawberry season.
The drive to the campground is 10-20 minutes on gravel (depending on the direction you came from).
Surprisingly phone signal is better there than it was in town Washburn, Bayfield, and Ashland (we have AT&T).
If you come prepared this is a beautiful campground. We were not prepared, so a little frustrated, but also not the campground we intended on staying at so didn't bring water or a generator.
Remote campground in the national forest. There is a water pump, water has high manganese levels though so not good for older people and infants. There are a couple lakes nestle around the campsites and is an awesome place to stay if you want to be alone!
One of my favorite places to camp. Unfortunately with the bad storm that went through the campground a few years back, there are many downed trees, once nicely secluded campsites, are very wide open. A lot of work has been done throughout the camp ground, and although not secluded, the sites are great, with new graveled level pads, new fire pits and picnic tables. They have added an additional outhouse and a few extra sites. If you enjoy four-wheeling, this is a definite place to stay, with very convenient trail access.
A nice place to spend a night while visiting the Bayfield peninsula. Many trees here blew down in a major storm several years ago, so campsites don't have much vegetation between them. Things are just starting to grow back after storm cleanup.
Despite storm damage, the location remains scenic. The two lakes bordering the campground each have a basic boat landing. Neither lake looks ideal for swimming, though there's a small beach right at the campground on the western lake.
A nicer swimming beach - and a hiking trail - can be found at Long Lake, just a short drive or bike ride to the southeast.
Bring a mountain or cross bike if you plan to do any biking during your stay. It's a several mile ride on gravel and sand roads from the campground before you'll reach pavement.
Beautiful campground next to two small lakes. Perfect for kayaking around. Two sets of pit toilets (very clean), only 1 water pump. No electricity. The road to the campground is very stony, not just gravel or sand but larger sharp stones. We ended up with a puncture.
