Emily Lake Campground

Set along the undeveloped, tranquil shoreline of Emily Lake within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Emily Lake Campground offers a quintessential escape characterized by serenity, natural beauty, and intimate camping experiences. With only 11 rustic campsites, this campground provides a secluded atmosphere ideal for anglers, paddlers, and those seeking close connections with nature. The slow, no-wake lake features excellent fishing for crappie, northern pike, perch, and panfish, alongside opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and quiet exploration.

Each site is equipped with a parking spur, fire grill, and picnic table, complemented by amenities like vault toilets, drinking water from a well, and a boat landing for smaller motorized or non-motorized watercraft. Visitors can also enjoy a small swimming area, making it a family-friendly destination. While the campground maintains its rustic charm, the surrounding national forest provides abundant recreation, including birdwatching, hiking, hunting, and stunning fall foliage views.

Located approximately 15 miles from the town of Minocqua, Emily Lake Campground places visitors within easy reach of charming local eateries and attractions. Its intimate, well-forested setting offers a harmonious blend of primitive camping and access to outdoor activities, perfect for weekend getaways or longer wilderness retreats.
