Northern Exposure Resort & Campground
Overview
Northern Exposure Resort & Campground provides a quintessential Wisconsin Northwoods experience on the shores of Prairie Lake. Situated in the heart of the Chetek Chain of Lakes, this destination balances a peaceful natural setting with a vibrant resort atmosphere. It serves as a popular hub for travelers looking to enjoy the water, offering a mix of seasonal sites and overnight RV camping. The park is well-known for its friendly community vibe and scenic lakeside views that greet visitors the moment they arrive.
Location & Surroundings
Located just outside Cameron, WI, the resort sits on the western edge of the expansive Chetek Chain of Lakes. The surrounding area is characterized by lush forests and interconnected waterways that offer miles of exploration for those with watercraft. Visitors enjoy the convenience of being near Highway 53, making the park easily accessible while still feeling tucked away in the scenic Barron County countryside. The landscape provides a beautiful backdrop for sunsets over the water and frequent sightings of local wildlife.

The resort is equipped with various facilities to ensure a comfortable stay for motorhomes and travel trailers of various sizes. Key amenities include full hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and electricity, along with pull-through options for larger rigs. Guests have access to a private boat launch and dock space, making it easy to navigate the chain of lakes. On-site conveniences such as a popular bar and grill, clean shower facilities, and a playground ensure that every family member has what they need for a relaxing trip without leaving the grounds.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Being part of a six-lake chain means that trophy fishing and boating are the primary draws for visitors to this region. Anglers often find success catching walleye, northern pike, and bass right from the shore or by boat. Beyond the water, travelers can explore local golf courses, visit the Pioneer Village Museum, or enjoy the small-town charm of Cameron and nearby Chetek. The area is also home to various multi-use trails suitable for hiking and biking, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the local ecology.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is an excellent choice for active families and fishing enthusiasts who want direct access to the water and a community-focused environment. It is ideal for those who enjoy a social atmosphere where they can meet fellow travelers at the on-site grill or gather on the docks.

Has a lot of seasonal spaces so if your just a weekender, the sites are hard to get a 42' camper into. Each site has a nice deck and firepit. Host was nice. 50.00 per night. I'm not sure if it was because of the really warm weather but the water was really green and weedy not what I'd want to swim in. I didn't see a beach area but I never went looking for it. Overall a decent place for a weekend.

1st time, came with a friend, fell in love with it so much, and even looked at a second home! Will be back! Didn't take many pictures of place but cute small one bedroom cabin with everything you need and more like the charcoal and grill and extra chairs!!

My husband and I rented a small cabin (kinda like a tiny home) and it was perfect for the two of us!! Did a lot of fishing on the dock and caught tons of bluegill! They had a fish cleaning station and everything!! Bring your own towels and fish cleaning knifes!! Reasonably priced. We booked again for next year!!

Awesome owner's, nice resort, great spot, fire pits are great on each camp spot as well as able to purchase firewood from the owners, fishing tackle & items other things needed to fish your able to purchase the n the office. The other camper's whom were just renting for the weekend as my daughter and her family were to the camper's whom have a spot all year long or to the camper's whom indefinitely have a spot, each & every person were all so friendly & social. It was a great feeling like a big family. Northern Exposure Resort was a very enjoyable experience my grandkids really had a blast, made a few friends & enjoyed their weekend as well as us adults SO with or without kids the resort is family oriented. I thoroughly loved as well as enjoyed the weekend trip camping. It's so great to be able to do things together again, not only the family but with nice folks from the owners to the other HAPPY Camper's such as myself & my daughter and her family (3-kids 12, 11, 9 & Husband). After all everyone has been through with the pandemic/ Coronavirus & being in a stay at home mode. It's really good to be able to see some Smile's, Sunshine, Socializing, Giggles & Laughs, Fishing, Outdoor Games, Walks, Hikes, BBQ's & the Smell's of all the Amazing food through out the camping resort, then the Sunset's, Campfires, S'mores, & just So, So much Fun once AGAIN being brought to families,(the kids especially), couples just everyone young & older as myself. It put a big smile on my face as well as a warm heart seeing people out & about. *** Thank you Northern Exposure Resort Owners it was a phenomenal weekend. (June 2021). *** Dawn Maskrey Kowarsch & Family loved the whole atmosphere

Great location and lots of stuff to do. You can rent a boat, go fishing, swim, or just sit around, but the campsites are very small. We got yelled at for making too much noise. If 4 adults can't sit around a fire until midnight on a Friday night, then this isn't the place to stay if you like talking around a campfire. Also, the owner told us there were no more open spots for our friends. We got there and there were plenty. He just didn't want to deal with the people. We talked to a resident of the place who said the owner was an a-hole, then recommended a place across the lake called Summer Haven.

We just stayed for a week and had a great time. Staff was nice and helped if we needed anything. We stayed in the cabin and my parents had a campsite. The cabin was clean with nice pans for cooking. They don't supply dish/kitchen towels but we brought some since it says to bring your own towels. We had plenty of room for 6 people to eat dinner inside if needed. There is a window A/C unit that worked pretty well to keep the place cool. The view from the cabin was nice. The location was beautiful and it was great that our dock was right off our campsite. The cabin and campsite were only about 40 feet from each other which was great for meals and bringing stuff back and forth. We used the fish cleaning house and it worked pretty slick. Already planning our next trip!
