Bear Lake Campground

About

Bear Lake Campground sits on the southwest corner of 68-acre Bear Lake, offering campers a peaceful retreat in northern Wisconsin's hardwood and pine forest. The campground features 22 standard nonelectric sites and five walk-in tent-only sites positioned on a wooded peninsula extending into the lake. Sites along the ridge provide outstanding views of the water, while lakefront walk-in sites offer direct access for anglers and paddlers. The lake is restricted to electric motors only, ensuring a tranquil environment for fishing northern pike, largemouth bass, and panfish. A swim beach, boat landing, and picnic area complement the camping facilities. Paved roads throughout the campground lead to gravel driveways, with some sites accommodating RVs and trailers up to 60 feet. Nearby, the Rat River Hike and Bike Trail offers additional recreation, and the Peshtigo and Rat Rivers provide trout fishing opportunities. The area is popular with grouse hunters in fall and attracts visitors seeking autumn color.
