A nice small campground with horse facilities, also open to campers without horses.
Water is available but posted as unsafe to drink.
Of about a dozen campgrounds across this national forest that were closed in 2015, Horseshoe Lake is one of just a few that reopened. A local group took over maintenance here to save the place from being decommissioned.
At $12/night, fees here are the lowest you’ll find at any drive-in campground on the Chequamegon Nicolet, perhaps due to the lack of potable water.
This campground sits atop a ridge above the lake. No sites are directly on the lake, but a short trail connects the campground to the waterfront. Though Horseshoe Lake lacks a designated beach, some parts of its shore appear suitable for swimming.
