From Westboro, WI, take County Rt. D west 6.6 miles to Mondeaux Dr. (Forest Rt. 106). Turn left onto Mondeaux Dr. and go 3.4 miles to campground.
Rustic and large private sites and the best spring water you can get
I had this campground all to myself! The stars! Oh my, the stars were brilliant!!
Dumbest set up ever. There's no simple way of booking a site. You have to call a 877 # then wait 45min. to talk to someone.
Family camping with plenty of privacy, Dave and Linda are wonderful hosts!!
An entirely first-come, first-served 13 site national forest campground offering stellar scenery and great hiking. The Ice Age Trail crosses the entrance driveway; hikers need not drive elsewhere to enjoy a substantial trail system.
This is a smaller campground than neighboring Spearhead Point, which seems to be the area’s flagship campground. By contrast, Spearhead has a dozen more sites - some reservable, and a shelter building.
There is no swimming beach here or at any of the four campgrounds on the Mondeaux Flowage. Those who can stand swimming amongst some sticks and stumps may be comfortable swimming directly from the waterfront at West Point, but you’ll find a developed beach at the Mondeaux Dam Lodge on the north end of the flowage. It’s not more than a five minute drive down the road, or a half hour hike north on the Ice Age Trail.
A nearby attraction is the glacial spring just northwest of Spearhead Point. You can fill your water containers there if you’re here in the early season and the campground’s own water pump isn’t in service yet.
West Point is a great option for campers not wanting to deal with the federal campsite reservation system and/or those seeking a spur-of-the-moment getaway. If you find the campground full, you can try Eastwood just across the flowage. It appears to be the least popular in the area, as the forest service plans to decommission a number of its campsites. All of the campgrounds on this flowage are in a great setting and surrounded by numerous recreational offerings.
