A quiet and scenic gem in the Nicolet that's well worth the drive. Luna-White Deer luckily avoided the axe as a number of nearby National Forest campgrounds closed due to budget cuts.
There is lots of nice hiking here, and trails are directly connected with the campground. Visitors can hike a full loop around both lakes and connect directly into the larger Hidden Lakes trail system. Those seeking a lengthy hike can trek as far as as Franklin Lake campground and the Anvil Lake trails.
Some sites on the property can be reserved on the federal recreation website during peak season, others remain first-come first-served.
The campground is nestled between two otherwise undeveloped lakes. Several of the lakeside campsites have spectacular views.
Swimming is available at a beach within the campground, and lake frontage is swimmable at some of the campsites. The spot is popular with fishermen. Drinking water is available from a solar well. Lots of nice road biking routes are also accessible from the location.
While you’re in the area, you can visit several once-thriving national forest campgrounds that are about to be dismantled and decommissioned as the forest cuts back on expenses. Sevenmile Lake and Windsor Dam are both within biking distance, and the former campground at Brule River is just a short drive northeast.
