Lost Lake Campground

About

Lost Lake Campground offers 27 sites on the north shore of Lost Lake in the Eagle River-Florence District of Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The clear, 86-acre lake is stocked with rainbow and brown trout, and no motors of any kind are permitted, creating a peaceful setting for paddling, swimming, and shore fishing. A sandy beach and small boat access area provide easy lake access. The campground is surrounded by mature maple, aspen, and white pine forest. Several trails originate from the campground, including the Assessor's Nature Trail through 150-year-old hemlock and pine stands, the Lost Lake Loop circling the lake through old-growth forest, and the Ridge Trail connecting to Chipmunk Rapids Campground and the Lauterman National Recreation Trail. Wildlife includes resident bald eagles and loons. Sites are equipped with fire rings with grills and picnic tables, with vault toilets and drinking water from pressurized systems or hand pumps. Most sites accommodate trailers up to 40 feet. A mix of reservable and first-come-first-served sites are available.
