About

West Point Recreation Area is a family-friendly campground situated on the scenic 411-acre Mondeaux Flowage in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The rustic campground features 13 accessible, spacious campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill, with some sites exceeding 45 feet in length and offering direct lake access. Most sites are designed as back-in and are not specifically configured for RVs, with no hookups or dump stations available. The Mondeaux Flowage offers excellent fishing opportunities for crappie, bluegill, northern pike, musky, and walleye, with a boat landing located two miles away on Forest Road 106. The shallow flowage is ideal for canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. A swimming beach is available near the lodge, less than two miles from the campground. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail runs adjacent to the campground, and the nearby Aldo Leopold Nature Trail provides additional hiking opportunities. Day use facilities include access to the flowage and an accessible vault toilet and fishing pier at the Lakeview Day Use Site.
