 Camping opportunities are numerous in our area with many public campgrounds and several privately owned campgrounds. There are five camping areas in the Park Falls Area Ranger District. The largest are Sailor Lake with 25 units and ATV trail access; and Twin Lake with 17 units. The Chequamegon - Nicolet Forest offers some of the finest camping opportunities, with spacious campsites nestled amidst trees and streams, providing a serene environment. They offer boat ramps, swimming and Twin Lake is also accessible to the disabled. There is a camping area at Smith Rapids for those wishing to bring their horses. Each campsite is equipped with extra long parking spurs for trucks and horse trailers, and hitching rails to keep horses secure at camp. There is also a covered bridge at the campground that crosses the South Fork of the Flambeau River, leading riders to nearly 70 miles of trails.
For those preferring a more remote and rustic camping experience, the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest has hundreds of "dispersed campsites." These generally are in remote locations and most do not have toilet facilities or drinking water. Some have fire rings and picnic tables. They do not pick up garbage at these sites, so please pack out what you pack in.
There is no charge for most dispersed campsites. Contact the District Office in the area you'd like to camp in for more information on these sites. You may camp anywhere on National Forest land if you are careful with fire and make sure that the area is clean when you leave. Campsite fees vary, depending upon site locations and lake accessibility. Water pumps and pit toilet facilities are provided. For those that really want to get away from it all, back country camping is permitted throughout the forest. Campsites must be located at least 50 feet away from any trail or water's edge. Campers are encouraged to heed the "Leave No Trace" camping ethic.
