Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, what a unique name and deservedly so as the forest itself is as diverse and attention getting as it’s namesake! The deep northwoods of Wisconsin offers a ton of hiking, biking, and camping to get stoked about; there’s 800 miles of hiking trails alone. But if you’re looking for a truly unique outdoor experience, try offroading or cross country skiing old military roads in the winter. There’s stunning Lake Superior views from St. Peter’s Dome and 70 foot Morgan Falls is sure to cool you off on a hot summer day. We dig the Quartz Trail where you can see giant quartz deposits discovered by the Native Americans who used to inhabit the area. There’s plenty of camping options to make this a wilderness weekend (or more) and with over 1.5 million acres to explore, we doubt you’ll be running out of rad things to discover!

Matt takes excellent care of the property. His pride is obvious. He shares stories about the history of the resort. Everything is CLEAN! Each site has its own trash and recycling bins, so no hauling. I don't need to explain how wonderful it is to have our water hookup and sewer hookups right on site. We also had great conversations with him. I'd highly recommend!

One of the most relaxing and comfortable campgrounds I’ve been to. Matt was a great host, he made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. Walking to the private lake through the forest was peaceful and quiet, only hearing the sounds of nature. I would stay again.

We loved this campground! We were in space 20 which is a corner lot and we were so comfortable here. It was quiet, peaceful, and felt private. Loved the walking trails and the kayaking! We prolonged our trip by a day to just relax at the campground! Can’t wait to return! Our host Matt was super friendly and helpful! Thanks for everything!

Weekend Trip to Land O' Lakes Nature RV Resort

We booked this spot for our very first HipCamp and maiden RV outing, and it became the place where I asked my partner to marry me; it’s safe to say it was unforgettable! The campground is immaculately clean, well-kept, and blissfully quiet. Beautiful, well-marked trails begin right on the property, and a short walk led us to a secluded lake where we spent an entire afternoon without seeing another soul, pure serenity. Matt is an absolute class act. Knowing we were brand-new to RV life, he cheerfully offered to guide us while backing in our rig and checked in just enough to be sure we had everything we needed. His pride of ownership shows in every detail around camp; he and his father have built something truly special here. We left with full hearts and can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for a quiet, well-run campground with a genuine host and gorgeous scenery, this is the place.
