About
Located on a sparkling 110-acre lake, East Twin Campground is a family favorite providing access to a beautiful portion of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in northwestern Wisconsin. The campground sits in a maple, birch, and hemlock forest with sites overlooking the lake. Each of the 10 campsites includes a parking spur, fire ring, picnic table, and tent pad, with sites accommodating RVs up to 40 feet. East Twin Lake and nearby West Twin Lake offer fishing for largemouth bass, panfish, and occasional musky. A developed boat ramp is located within the recreation area, with a walk-in portage to West Twin Lake. A fishing pier provides accessible fishing opportunities. The area features miles of hiking and mountain bike trails, and a spur trail connects to the Dead Horse Run Motorized Trail, though ATV/UTV use within the campground is prohibited. The campground offers both reservable and first-come, first-served sites. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with elk, bald eagles, loons, blue herons, deer, and waterfowl commonly spotted in the area. An established blue heron rookery is located nearby.
Directions
From Clam Lake, drive north on County Highway GG for 3.4 miles. Turn right (south) at the campground sign on Forest Road 190 and continue for 0.5 miles to the campground.
