Land O'Lakes Campgrounds

BORDERLINE RV PARK
(715) 547-6169
This small, well-run, and extremely picturesque campground is a real find for RV campers, even with big rigs, and for a few tent campers. It's a convenient, shady campground with hot showers. Often a few last-minute sites are available. The owners carved out some space from a mature pine and popple woods. It extends 400' back to the Wisconsin River, which is really more of a good-size creek here.
Paths connect the campground, which is close to the road but buffered by trees, to the river. Across the road is a Wisconsin state wayside with a boat landing and marker about the Wisconsin River headwaters. Modern sites with water, sewer, internet access, and electric are $25/night in 2010. A laundry connects with the bath house. —8/2010

LAC VIEUX DESERT CAMPGROUND/Chequamegon/Nicolet National Forest
(715) 473-2827
31 rustic campsites are on Lac Vieux Desert, known for its sport fishing. Because the lake straddles a state line, fishing licenses from either state can be used on the entire lake. There's a picnic area, swimming beach, boat launch, and short hiking trail.

From U.S. 45, about 2 miles south of the state line, turn east on CR E and go about 2 1/2 miles. Just past the Minnow Bucket, turn left (north). Campground is less than 2 miles. Open from early May into late Oct. $10 fee. Dogs permitted on 6-foot leash. Handicap access: call.
