In Clam Lake, WI, take County Rt. GG north for 3.7 miles to Forest Rt. 190. Turn right on Rt. 190 and go east 1 mile to campground.
Nice views in the middle of nowhere. Busy campground is great for families, but not the secluded tent camping we were hoping for. Still, easy access to local towns and a nice lake for great summer water activities makes it an easy place to recommend.
A family get together for a weekend of camping here is always fun. The campsite is typically left pretty clean and experiences with the camp site are great. Horse flys and mosquitoes can get bad but the wind can usually be found which keeps them at bay. The toilets are pit but they do have running water if you have a camper. I'd recommend to anyone to stay here
A small, scenic rustic campground. Grounds and facilities are well maintained, vault toilet buildings were clean through our entire stay. Water is available from a solar well; it tasted fine and appeared clear. All roads within and leading to the campground are paved.
The onsite host here for the 2021 season is a class act. You won't come across many people with his level of interest in each and every facet of infrastructure that goes into a national forest recreation site. He has a great love for the national forest and puts an incredible amount of care and energy into the two campgrounds he hosts. He's also advocating to get two nearby idled campgrounds - Mineral Lake and Lake 3 - reopened.
East Twin has one walk-in site that's both spacious and secluded from the rest of the campground. It has very nice lake frontage, as do most sites here.
All sites have ample spacing and vegetation between one another except site 8 and 9. Sites 7 through 9 would make a good spot for a group gathering if booked all at once.
East Twin Lake is swimmable. The bottom turns from sand to silt as you get a ways out from shore, but at that point the depth increases quickly enough that it's not an issue. Depending on the time of year and the wind speed or direction, you may encounter some algae suspended in the water that sticks to your skin. It's nothing that can't be washed off and this only happened to us on one of the multiple days we went into the water. The waterfront seemed most suitable for swimming at sites 7 through 10.
Found this place on a foggy evening in the autumn. Decided I had to come back in the summer.
One of the nicest lackfront camping i have seen
Simple amenities like pit toilets, drinking water, picnic tables and fire rings.
The host knows the area well and is full of great suggestions.
Excelent location for bike camping.
Do not confuse with twin lake campground.
It's a small campground, a single family could book 3 sites and host a reunion.
Watch for turtle nesting in mid june
2020 Annual Family Camping Trip could not have been any better staying at this quiet, well maintained campground! We stayed at site 5. The lake was right there basically 100 feet from the fire ring. Drinking water available just on the other side of the tents. The bathroom just down around the corner. Easy to walk to. The dock at site 5 needs some repairs but we were able to talk with the forestry and show them what we would like to see done with the dock and they were very understanding and said they would put a call in to get it fixed. We will DEFINITELY be visiting this campground again!
