About
Boulder Lake Campground is located on the southern end of 362-acre Boulder Lake in the Lakewood-Laona District of Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. As the forest's largest campground, it features 89 single-family sites and 10 group sites nestled in a stand of young hardwoods, with some campsites situated along the water's edge and others positioned further back for a quieter experience. The campground offers both rustic and modern amenities to suit different camping preferences. Electric hookups are available at sites 9-16 and 40-54, and the facility includes three shower buildings, flush toilets, vault toilets, hand pumps, and an RV dump station. Many sites can accommodate RVs up to 30 feet or longer, and seven group sites feature pull-through access for rigs 45 feet or more. All group sites are reservable, with six sites for small groups up to 16 people and four sites for large groups up to 30 people. Boulder Lake provides excellent recreational opportunities including power boating, water skiing, fishing, and swimming from a designated beach area. The 362-acre spring-fed lake is stocked with walleye, northern pike, bass, and panfish. A paved boat ramp with parking for 16-20 vehicles provides lake access, and the ramp and parking area are plowed during winter for ice fishing access. The campground features a hiking trail with a wooden boardwalk that explores bog vegetation and glacial boulders, with multiple access points from within the campground. Nearby streams offer trout fishing, and the Wolf River provides whitewater rafting and canoeing opportunities. An amphitheater hosts occasional educational programs.
