Chequamegon-Nicolet/Day Lake

Greg Krueger

Day Lake is far and away the largest campground in this district of the forest. Most all of the 52 sites here have ample spacing and vegetation between them. Two loops have been closed as of late, so closer to 40 sites are actually open. There’s an ok swimming beach in the campground; it’s a bit shallow and weedy. There’s a much nicer beach just down the hiking trail to the south, within the day-use picnic area on the same lake. It’s just a five or ten minute walk between the two beaches. If you’re interested in history, you can find the remains of some old walk-in sites beyond the furthest back loop of this campground. There’s a nice point of land in this area of the campground where you can have a picnic and enjoy a great view of the lake. The town of Clam Lake is no more than a minute or two down the road and offers a couple bars and restaurants in addition to a gas station and convenience store with basic groceries. Day Lake costs a few dollars more per night than other campgrounds in this part of the forest, but it provides amenities like a playground and recreation field that neighboring campgrounds lack.

Love it here! Clean bathrooms, beautiful, secluded sites. A nature lovers dream! Someone is leaving sweet gifts around the sites. Thank you, who ever you are.

Beautiful place! Super clean bathrooms. Sites are spread apart feeling private. The Lake has a small beach and most sites have easy access to the lake, beach and boat landing. True outdoor lovers will appreciate this campground.

It's a secluded and quiet campground. With lots of wooded space between each campsite, you have privacy. The campgrounds are kept incredibly clean. The pit toilets were among the cleanest I have ever seen (and they smell like coconut!) I listened to the loons all night and got to see elk.
