About

Chippewa Campground sits on the eastern shores of the 2,714-acre Chequamegon Waters Flowage in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The campground features 78 campsites arranged in four loops: Beaver, BASS, Hardwoods, and Rustic. Sites 31-49 offer electric hookups, while all sites include tables and campfire rings with grills. Three loops have flush toilets and hot showers, and one rustic loop has vault toilets with running water. All roads are paved. The campground provides a dump station and RV fill-up near the entrance. The flowage is renowned for its bass fishing, with plentiful populations of largemouth bass, northern pike, bluegill, yellow perch, and black crappie. A boat ramp and fish cleaning station are available for anglers. Day-use facilities include a swimming beach, playground, and walking trails connecting the campground loops. The 20-mile Perkinstown Motorized Trail, used for off-road vehicles, motorcycles, and snowmobiling, winds through rolling terrain, woodlands, and wetlands. The rustic loop is available for year-round camping, though the access road is not maintained for snow removal during winter months.
