About
Day Lake Campground is situated in northwestern Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, just one mile north of Clam Lake. The campground features 52 campsites nestled under towering pines on the east shore of 640-acre Day Lake, plus three walk-in sites. Each site includes a parking spur, fire ring, picnic table, and tent pad. The campground offers modern amenities including drinking water, vault toilets, a playground, swimming beach, and an accessible fishing pier connected by paved trails to six barrier-free campsites.
Day Lake is known for excellent musky fishing, along with largemouth bass and panfish. A boat launch and picnic area are located two miles south on County Highway M. The area is designated for off-road vehicle use, with direct campground access to the 63-mile Dead Horse ATV trail, which connects to the Tuscobia State Trail and Flambeau River State Forest Trail. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with elk, bald eagles, loons, and deer frequently spotted in the area. Some campsites can accommodate RVs up to 45 feet, and the campground accepts both reservations through Recreation.gov and first-come, first-served camping.
