Namekagon campground is a family-friendly campground that runs alongside its namesake lake, at the headwaters of the Namekagon River. It is the perfect spot to kayak, canoe, jet ski, swim or take a boat ride to one of the many restaurants along the shoreline.
With its close proximity to mountain bike trails and the North Country hiking trail, Namekagon campground is an ideal location for making a base camp.
Namekagon Lake offers excellent fishing, and anglers will find musky, pike, walleye and bass, among other fish varieties, available in abundance.
The campground is conveniently located near off-highway vehicle, hiking and mountain bike trails. The North Country National Scenic Trail is also nearby. The Namekagon Nature Trail is a one mile interpretive trail which traverses the immediate area and begins in the campground.
The campground offers a couple dozen single-family campsites for tent or RV camping. Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets, drinking water, trash collection and recycling bins are also provided.
A day-use picnic area is equipped with multiple tables, picnic shelters, a basketball court, beach, boat ramp and fishing piers.
The campground is situated on the 3,227-acre Namekagon Lake that is famous for its fishing potential. It is surrounded by a hardwood and hemlock forest in northwestern Wisconsin.
From Cable, Wisconsin, take County Highway M east for 11 miles. Turn left on County Highway D and proceed about 6 miles to Forest Service Road 209. Turn left at the campground sign and drive less than a mile to the campground entrance.
Very nice campground, will definitely stay here again. Can get busy during holiday weekends so book several months in advance! The beach and boat launch is super nice, although a bit small. Bathrooms were very clean. Lots of families with RVs come here if that matters to you
Only 3 star as the boat landing pier could be stabilized better to make it more handicap accessible. I did not feel safe walking on it.
It is a beautiful park and it is very well maintained.
We LOVE this campground. What a surprise to have electricIty at all sites. Sites are mostly flat especially close to lake. Enough space between for privacy. (30ft. tt) Vault toilets are immaculate. Water well with spigots nearby. BEAUTIFUL views from our site looking out on the lake. Deer spotted along roadsides. Very limited Verizon . . . when the wind blows near the lake or in parking lot can pick up 4G one bar going in and out. Thirteen miles to Cable you can find good 4G.
The section of the campground to your left when you enter offers slightly more rustic sites well suited for tent campers. The remainder of the sites (past the beach) are much more developed and lack the spacing and privacy that you'd find at most other campgrounds on this national forest.
We stayed here in august. What we loved was the electric hookups, fishing, clean bathrooms, firewood on site, and fresh safe water. We didn't use the covered pavilion but it was nice, also they had a family camping site. We got Verizon in different areas but mostly on the fishing dock. Definitely will go back to enjoy again.
