About

Luna White Deer Campground provides a classic north woods experience in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, situated between two deep, clear lakes that remain free of motorized watercraft. The campground features 37 single-family sites in a dense mixed species forest at 1,735 feet elevation, with approximately half the sites offering direct lake frontage. The peaceful setting allows campers to hear loons calling at night and observe diverse wildlife including resident American bald eagles nesting in towering pines along the shoreline. Both Luna Lake and White Deer Lake provide excellent opportunities for non-motorized boating, swimming, and fishing. Anglers can pursue largemouth bass, rock bass, perch, pumpkinseed, and bluegill in both lakes, while White Deer Lake also supports rainbow trout. Sandy beaches provide relaxing spots for swimming and sunbathing. The campground serves as a trailhead for a 4-mile loop trail that circles both lakes with scenic vistas, connecting to over 30 miles of additional trail systems including the Anvil National Recreation Trail, suitable for hiking and mountain biking. The campground operates with a mix of reservable and first-come, first-served sites. All sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings with grills. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided throughout the facility. The campground does not offer hookups of any kind, and use is restricted to hardened areas. Located approximately 19 miles east of Eagle River, the campground is accessed via Highway 70 and forest roads.
