Bittersweet Wild Campground

Northern Highland American Legion State Forest

5 sites · Tent

Northeast of Minocqua, WI, off of Highway 70, is the greatest misnomer there ever was. Bitter Sweet Wild Campground, the largest camping area in the Bittersweet Wild Lakes Area, is as sweet as apple pie. Five sites span four lakes: Prong Lake, Smith Lake, Oberlin Lake, and Bittersweet Lake, and each covet the promise of pure, back country livin’. Car access–four wheel drive highly recommended–and a single, shared boat launch make the Bittersweet Wild Campground a holy grail for the angler, the trapper and the old fashioned naturalist.

Adventure Basecamp at River's Edge

98%

(65)

22mi from Bittersweet Wild Campground · 2 sites · Tents, RVs

River's Edge is a four season adventure company in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, outfitting adventurers with equipment and guidance. The property is located on the Manitowish River, Heart of Vilas County bike trail, and Iron County snowmobile trails. By car we're about eight minutes from WinMan Trails, ten minutes from MECCA Trails and Mercer, three minutes from Manitowish Waters. As we're right on the bike path, riding to lunch or dinner is easy, with lots of yummy options close by. We have two campsites on our property, primarily for adventurers looking for a central basecamp location from which to go do all the fun things we have available in the Northwoods. Campsites are located on the west end of the property, in proximity to all the activities, and include full hookups, a picnic table and fire ring. Site One is closest to the river and bike path. It's more secluded and separate from the main lodge area. Of the two sites, this is the best if you plan to hang around camp and chill. It does have trees lining the parking space, so if you have a trailer above 11'-13' be careful backing in. Site Two is right off of the main parking area next to the lodge building. While we're working on natural barrier growth, it is kind of in the middle of activity during our busy seasons. It is, however, the easiest to back into with a large trailer. If you're looking for a convenient place to bring your RV or trailer and don't mind being less secluded, this is for you. If you're looking for a national forest experience, this is not for you. The main lodge is open for use until 10pm-ish. There are couches, tables and board games available for guests. A bathroom is available for campers in the lodge, however there is no shower. We highly recommend The Manitowish Waters Athletic Club for shower facilities, hot tub, and pool. Day passes are reasonably priced and the facility is extremely well appointed. It's about three minutes by car or ten by bike. Campers get a discount on rental equipment. Wifi is available in the lodge. Our sites are open year-round, although water service will be turned off when temps are below freezing.
