I usually camp in the middle of nowhere in the woods. If anybody knows of any great out of the way areas (middle of nowhere) please drop me message and let me know. |
We camped in the National forest on Bolder lake this summer and loved it, be but we need electricty so we are limited . That are is beautiful, I say that with reservations because if people find out how nice it is there we will never get a spot again.
I edited this to add from a posting I placed on another message board
Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest Boulder Lake Campground
We enjoyed camping here over labor day and plan to return next year. Check it out as it has some of the best campsites we have seen anywhere along with new shower/bathrooms. This park also has small and large group camp areas with their own shower/bathroom facility.
Boulder lake is a fishing and swimming lake. They have designated wake times for those who wish to ski or use personal watercrafts.
There are hiking trails and many places around the area that offer Wolf river rafting trips. Yes the Wolf river is within a few miles of this camground. Opportunities are many in this area for all types of activities.
I call this campground a MUST for any avid camper.
Getting There
Boulder Lake campground is located 19 miles south of Townsend, Wisconsin Follow Hwy T from
Townshed for about 17 miles to the intersection with county Hwy W. Turn right on W and travel about 1.5 miles to Forest Road 2116. Turn right (north) on Forest Road 2116 and follow to the campground.
