The Copper Range campground is a 17-unit facility that visitors can reach by traveling 4.5 miles north of Highway 2 on County Highway H and then west on Park Road. Located near favorite fishing holes and canoe routes, this campground is popular with anglers in the spring and fall. A canoe landing is located a short walk from the campground and a hand pump and vault toilet are centrally located. There is also a trail across the bridge that links to the Historic Bayfield Road Hiking and Snowshoe Trail.
We camped at Copper Range in July for 2 nights and reserved 2 spots for a group of people. The spots are not bad, would've liked more space in between the spots but there's a lot worse. There are no showers, so that kind of sucked. You can go to the river, but the water is chillingly cold. There's only 1 trail (the river trail, about 2 miles long) that is at the campground so you would have to drive out a little ways for more trails/other activities. The rangers there are a little nosy and unpleasant. Walking around like they're about to investigate some crime. Overall the experience was meh, but the forest is beautiful.
Sites are flat, private, easy to get in and out of. The bathrooms are less than desirable. There is no electricity at campground at all.
Small campground in an old pine forest on the right side of Blure river. Beautiful place, only about 17 campsites. The only problem - almost no bushes, so you are not well separated from other. But if your neighbors are not wild, it is OK :) Several walk-in sites are on the riverbank, and water from pump really good. There is a nice trail for 3 hrs hike across the bridge, and many places nearby short drive in a car. Very good place to stay and explore places around
Fantastic! Beautiful wooded, quiet setting. Nice large picnic tables. Pick your site carefully because the trail to the toilet is rather round-about from many sites.
Smaller campground in a pine forest, love the smell after it rains. A short walk brings you to the rivers edge and a canoe landing. Most of the sites are close to each other and have little buffering. There are a few drive in sites that offer a little more privacy. There are also a few walk in sites. Granted I only walked about 50 yards to get to the site, it was a little more quite. Love the setting of the campground but would only go back if I could reserve certain sites. The best reservable sites do go early, clearly. The garbage area was kept well organized...recycling etc. The bathroom was clean and mostly bug free. I definitely liked the effort put forth in keeping the grounds in good shape.
