Quite rustic, some sites offer ample surrounding vegetation and spacing for good privacy. Several walk-in tent sites with a very short walk from car to campsite are the most private sites on this property.

There's no designated beach here. Part of the shoreline is suitable for swimming, but certainly not the best swimming area you'll find on this national forest.

Several sites have elaborate fire rings with upgraded cooking features not commonly found in a national forest campground.

This campground sees relatively low use. You should be able to find an open site without issue, even on peak season weekends. Advance reservations are accepted for some sites but you can also just show up, pick a site, and avoid the reservation system fee.

Of the four national forest campgrounds on the Mondeaux Flowage, Eastwood is one of the lesser-visited.

This campground is being reduced from 22 sites to 12 as of late. The ten sites you pass first while driving the one-way loop - the sites not on the water - are being decommissioned. The sites closer to the water are continuing to be maintained. This reduction is part of a broader recreation strategy being implemented across the Chequamegon Nicolet. It includes decommissioning seven full campgrounds collectively netting 77 campsites and reducing the number of sites and services offered at other locations.

The scenery here seems a bit less dynamic than what one can experience on the west side of the flowage at Spearhead Point, Westpoint or Picnic Point campgrounds. The shoreline at those locations may also be a bit nicer and easier to access. That said, Eastwood is nestled in a scenic, mature deciduous forest. It is likely stunning in fall.

The campground is just a short walk or drive from the Mondeaux Dam Lodge, where visitors will find a beach and lots of accessible shoreline for fishing. Eastwood is also not far from the Ice Age Trail. The Ice Age segment in this part of the state is very well-kept.

The national forest does exceptionally well maintaining all of their campgrounds on the Mondeaux, Eastwood included.

Don’t be fooled by the region’s location in central Wisconsin and think you need to go further north for quality rustic camping. The Mondeaux region of the national forest provides a quality of scenery and recreational offerings many may expect to find only in the northernmost reaches of the state.

A picturesque, shaded and spacious campground lacking vegetation or foliage between sites. The campground is open lawn under tall trees.

All four sites are waterfront, and a large group can reserve the entire campground with a few days notice. This is a tent-only walk-in campground, though the walk from car to campsite is extremely short.

The location is gorgeous, but fees are higher than nearby campgrounds that provide drinking water and garbage service. Picnic Point provides neither. It would be great to see the national forest restore drinking water service here.

Since the water pump at Picnic Point is without a handle and a sign says the well is being permanently closed, grab your water at the glacial spring or West Point Campground on your way in. Both are a short drive north.

For those willing to pay a top-tier price for minimal amenities, Picnic Point is a nice camping spot. It's also the only national forest campground in this region to stay open year-round.

An entirely first-come, first-served 13 site national forest campground offering stellar scenery and great hiking. The Ice Age Trail crosses the entrance driveway; hikers need not drive elsewhere to enjoy a substantial trail system.

This is a smaller campground than neighboring Spearhead Point, which seems to be the area’s flagship campground. By contrast, Spearhead has a dozen more sites - some reservable, and a shelter building.

There is no swimming beach here or at any of the four campgrounds on the Mondeaux Flowage. Those who can stand swimming amongst some sticks and stumps may be comfortable swimming directly from the waterfront at West Point, but you’ll find a developed beach at the Mondeaux Dam Lodge on the north end of the flowage. It’s not more than a five minute drive down the road, or a half hour hike north on the Ice Age Trail.

A nearby attraction is the glacial spring just northwest of Spearhead Point. You can fill your water containers there if you’re here in the early season and the campground’s own water pump isn’t in service yet.

West Point is a great option for campers not wanting to deal with the federal campsite reservation system and/or those seeking a spur-of-the-moment getaway. If you find the campground full, you can try Eastwood just across the flowage. It appears to be the least popular in the area, as the forest service plans to decommission a number of its campsites. All of the campgrounds on this flowage are in a great setting and surrounded by numerous recreational offerings.
