Secluded campground with plenty of campsites to choose from. 8 out of 16 sites were available on a weekend in July. 2 sets of very clean and almost pleasant smelling pit toilets. Campsite borders two lakes with a boat launch for each. As another review mentioned, Long Lake 10 minutes away is better for swimming. Some sites are reservable, and some are first come, first serve. Several miles of gravel fire roads to access the site, but they were in decent condition. Would stay here again.

Quiet, a place to see the stars. Wolves and coyotes howling at night. The sound of loons. Beautiful sunsets. No electric what so ever. No running water. The pump will give you a workout. Bring jugs of artesian water from Ashland. One of our very rustic favorite camp grounds

Beautiful campground next to two small lakes. Perfect for kayaking around. Two sets of pit toilets (very clean), only 1 water pump. No electricity. The road to the campground is very stony, not just gravel or sand but larger sharp stones. We ended up with a puncture.

Quiet and out of the way. Lake is nice. Camping sites are generous.

Great, rustic, secluded place with large sites. Not very busy compared to some other campgrounds we drove through in Washburn. Very wooded between two lakes. The pump we fund for water was pretty hard to use, so bring your own. If you want to get away, this is the place. The only thing they could do better is marking the toilets a little better so you can find them at night.

I camped here a couple of nights so I could be close to Bayfield and Ashland Wisconsin. I took the apostle Island boat cruise in Bayfield.

Nice campsites with lots of spacing in between, beautiful scenery in the national forest and conveniently located in between washburn/Ashland and cornucopia.

We enjoy the small size and the fact that there is one Lake to swim and one to fish.

A nice place to spend a night while visiting the Bayfield peninsula. Many trees here blew down in a major storm several years ago, so campsites don't have much vegetation between them. Things are just starting to grow back after storm cleanup. Despite storm damage, the location remains scenic. The two lakes bordering the campground each have a basic boat landing. Neither lake looks ideal for swimming, though there's a small beach right at the campground on the western lake. A nicer swimming beach - and a hiking trail - can be found at Long Lake, just a short drive or bike ride to the southeast. Bring a mountain or cross bike if you plan to do any biking during your stay. It's a several mile ride on gravel and sand roads from the campground before you'll reach pavement.

One of my favorite places to camp. Unfortunately with the bad storm that went through the campground a few years back, there are many downed trees, once nicely secluded campsites, are very wide open. A lot of work has been done throughout the camp ground, and although not secluded, the sites are great, with new graveled level pads, new fire pits and picnic tables. They have added an additional outhouse and a few extra sites. If you enjoy four-wheeling, this is a definite place to stay, with very convenient trail access.
