The Morgan Lake Campground and Group Site is a great place for families or a large gathering of people to camp in northern Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The campground is comfortably equipped and provides access to a number of recreational opportunities, including fishing, boating, swimming and hiking. A picnic area with beach is available, as well as an adjacent parking area and access to the lake.
Proximity to the lake provides visitors with opportunities for fishing, boating and swimming. The clear waters make for a pleasant experience. Largemouth bass are abundant in the lake. Non-motorized boating is permitted as well as electric motors only.
In addition to family campsites in the main campground, Morgan Lake Campground offers a single, large-group campsite, available for tent and RV camping. It can accommodate up to 25 people and four vehicles, as well as one RV or trailer. Utility hookups are not available and parking surfaces are gravel. Additional family campsites that may be reserved individually in the main campground include campsite numbers 3,6,9,12,14,16,17, and 18.
The group campsite is equipped with multiple tables, a campfire circle and grills. Accessible pit toilets and drinking water are provided. Trash collection and recycling bins are also available throughout the campground. The campground area includes a swim beach, picnic area and boat landing. ATV use is allowed but state regulations must be followed along with campground rules.
The scenic campground is located in a heavily wooded forest surrounding the 45-acre Morgan Lake. It is situated at an elevation of 1,500 feet. The group campground is located near the general campground, but is separated from the other sites to ensure privacy. A small, sandy beach and boat ramp are located nearby.
The closest town, Long Lake, is located just over 12 miles northwest of the campground. A variety of services are available there.
From the intersection of Highway 8 and Highway 139, about 7 miles north of Laona, drive north on Highway 139 for 11 miles to Forest Road 2159. Turn right (east) and drive about 8 miles to the campground.
This site is located on the Chequmegon-Nicolet National Forest in Fence Township, Florence County, Wisconsin. This site is often confused with Morgan County Park which is managed by Marinette County and is located in Niagra, Wiconsin.
Been coming here for 32 years. Private sites, beautiful lake with loons, very quiet. No motor boats. Blackberry picking. Tons of hiking trails. The kayaking is wonderful. No amenities, just nature. Love,it!
Now that they have turned it into an ATV friendly campsite the peace and serenity is gone! If you like the sound of ATV's, loud beer parties and trash everywhere - this is the place to go. Peace and quiet and respectful campers have become a thing of the past. So very sad!
No outhouse near the beach! Not the worst, but it would be a huge improvement.
Gorgeous ridge-top campsites. Getting here requires driving several miles on gravel roads, but the whole route is completely passable in a small car.
Mid week in August there were numerous lakeside sites to choose from.
Since the Nicolet closed Sevenmile Campground, Morgan Lake seems to be the one place that can rival the ridgetop sites and good spacing and vegetation between sites that Sevenmile offered.
The campground looks to be marked for a major logging operation that could drastically change the appearance of things for a few years while the forest regenerates. As of summer 2022 the cutting hadn't started yet.
Overall, definitely worth a visit.
Been going to Morgan for more than 35 yrs. Group camp with the extended family. The grounds are great if you like the outdoors. There is no electricity or plumbing. The group site has its own pit toilet ,so that's nice. Our dogs love it too. We raft and swim and fish. We pick berries if we're there late in the season. Love love Morgan Lake!
