    This was an out of the way place. But this was definitely. Worth the drive to see. The view of the…read morelake was awesome. The owner of this place went out of their way to accommodate us. Could not have asked for a nicer host. If I lived closer I would definitely be coming back to this resort. Thanks again

    We love to tent up in the north shore during fall colors season. We aren't great at planning ahead…read moreso we scramble to find a campground.t he state parks are always booked months in advance, so it's the small private campgrounds in the area we enjoy. This one is sitting right on the lax lake. Every campsite will have some sort of view of the lake with some trees but it is not heavily wooded. You can see your neighbor but you're not packed in their like some campsites without any trees. Each campsite had plenty of space with a picnic table and a fire pit. I was a little disappointed in the one car rule because there was so much space to fit two cars and two tents at one campsite. It seems more of a family oriented campground that would be great for kids. We don't have any, so the kids got a little annoying for us. Especially when they are playing and yelling outside at seven in the morning. The bathrooms and quarter operated showers are well kept, clean and aren't far from any of the tent sites. The office is adorable and has a decent selection of snacks and camping things, like fire firewood, if you forget anything. You can also rent kayaks and pontoons for the lake. I felt that the tent sites were a little on the higher side for a campground but understandably so being on a lake with full bathroom, showers and laundry.

    Copper Falls State Park is often ranked among Wisconsin's top state parks, and it's easy to see…read morewhy. Located in the Northwoods of northern Wisconsin, the park's highlight is the Doughboy Trail, a well-developed two-mile loop that offers excellent views of both Copper Falls and Brownstone Falls. The trail is easy to follow, well-maintained, and includes several scenic overlooks. Because of its distance--several hours from cities like Madison--I recommend combining a visit with other Northwoods attractions. A great option is to stop here while exploring the Apostle Islands or the Bayfield area. Once inside the park, follow the main road past the ranger station until it ends at the parking lot, where you'll find restrooms and the Doughboy Trailhead. This is a beautiful park and well worth the stop, especially if you plan it alongside other northern Wisconsin adventures.

    As we traveled north, we stopped at several state parks, and Copper Falls stood out as one of the…read moreprettiest--often noted in reviews for having the highest waterfall in the area. We were able to park easily and walk a short, fairly easy loop to reach the falls. The view of the waterfall was beautiful, though the trail itself isn't very shaded. Thankfully, the weather was mild during our visit, which made for a pleasant stop. Parking was plentiful, and the park overall felt accessible and well maintained. A worthwhile stop for an hour or so if you're exploring northern Wisconsin.

    This is a small seasonal (May 15-Oct 15) campground managed by the City of Ashland Parks and…read moreRecreation. It has 6 RV sites with electric, and 6 tent/small camper tents without electric. (Parks and Recreation also manages another campground, Kreher, for larger RVs. Kreher has 33 sites). Prentice Park is a first come, first served campground. No reservations are taken. There were many sites still available when we arrived on a Wednesday evening around 6 pm in late May. Tent sites are $20/night ($125/week), while electric sites are $35/night. There was a host on-site, and we were able to pay her directly. This is a nice, and well-maintained campground. Sites were flat and clear, with a picnic table and fire ring. We had some privacy because there were small trees between our site and the adjacent one. (Some sites were less private). Firewood was available. There are flush toilets and secure showers. (The showers are for campers only, and require a passcode. The bathroom is open to the public during the day but is locked at night (usable with passcode). The campground felt safe, given the host on site but also with occasional patrols by the local police. The campground is adjacent to Prentice Park, which has a pavilion, playground, another bathroom, 2 miles of hiking trails, and access to the Ashland Rails to Trails. There is also an artesian well on site for fresh water. There were a few small negatives. We were tent camping and, despite being a few miles from Rte. 2, we could hear some truck traffic from that road. The campground is inland, so there's no view of Lake Superior. (Kreher Campground has lakefront sites). Finally, like everywhere else in the great outdoors in northern Wisconsin in late May, there were some mosquitoes but they weren't overwhelming.

    A big thank you to the City of Ashland for providing and maintaining such a lovely campground. We…read moreare in a 38' class A with a Jeep. Site 5 was perfect for us. There are 6 RV sites and tent sites. It is a first come first serve campground. Sites have water and 50 amp power. Site 5 is a pull thru, paved and level. The camp host was right there providing the shower code. There are deer, bunnies, an owl and lots of birds. Fire pits at each site and firewood is available for purchase. Wonderful bike/walking trails here as well. Just delightful!
