Spectacle Lake Campground

Dramatically positioned along the pristine shores of a crystal-clear, 166-acre lake, Spectacle Lake Campground combines the serene beauty of dense mixed forests with the allure of a 500-foot sandy swimming beach. This well-equipped camping destination in Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is a haven for nature enthusiasts seeking tranquility, outdoor recreation, and a genuine wilderness retreat.

The campground features 34 spacious sites suitable for both tent and RV camping, each outfitted with fire rings, grills, and picnic tables. Vault toilets and drinking water ensure a comfortable stay, while the absence of hook-ups maintains a rustic charm. The lake itself is a hub of activity, inviting guests to swim, boat, or fish for trout, bass, and panfish, while the nearby 2.5-mile Spectacle-Kentuck Trail offers hiking enthusiasts a scenic journey along the historic Thunder Lake Railroad bed. Wildlife watching and peaceful forest immersion are added bonuses for visitors drawn to this natural sanctuary.

Located just 16 miles northeast of Eagle River, this campground provides convenient access to the charming town’s amenities and attractions, such as the Northwoods Children’s Museum and Eagle River Golf Course. Whether for a weekend getaway or an extended retreat, Spectacle Lake Campground delivers a harmonious blend of outdoor adventure and tranquil relaxation, all within reach of Northern Wisconsin's natural and cultural treasures.
