Bear Lake

This campground is east of Laona. It’s a nice drive out here passing some local homes along the way. The road to the lake is just for the campground. There is a boat launch and picnic area before the campsites. We liked the sites that are lakeside. The road rises so you are elevated above the lake. It’s an interesting perspective. The woods side sites are nice too. You get plenty of shade and privacy. When we showed up the lakeside sites were filled leaving many of the woods side. The drawback might be that the sites directly across from each other but that is adaptable. 

We loved the secluded feeling out here.

We were at site 25. Lots of wet swampy areas around this site. If it were hot, I would imagine a lot of mosquitos. If you forget something, you are better off going to Laona than Wabeno. Nice bike trail. Too shallow to fish off the shore by our site. Does have a grate over there fire for cooking. ZERO WiFi and cell service

We have been camping here twice this year & absolutely love it! Rustic with no electric hook-ups. There is a pump for drinking water. The sites are large & private with a few waterfront sites. Vault toilets are available. The lake has a swimming area & beautiful Sandy beach & is perfect for fishing, swimming and kayaking. Laona is just a short drive for gas, and food.

The setting for this campground is so pristine and beautiful. Small and secluded this campground sits on the edge of bear lake and little cub lake is a short walk or drive from there.

If you are looking to get away and relax then this is the campground to go to. This campground is located between Wabeno and Laeno, in the Nicolet National Forest. Most of the camp sites are waterfront with views or lake access to Bear Lake. Some sites are located on a ridge along the lake with stairs leading down to the water.

Camp sites are large and private. There is drinking water and pit toilets. The pit toliets were the cleanest I have ever used. Firewood is available just a few miles away. There is a Biking/Hiking trail that accesses the Rat River Trail.

The beach is nice size with a roped off swimming area that has plenty of space for the kids to swim and explore.

Kayaking, fishing and swimming are the best activites for this campground.

I would have given it five stars if it had showers but then again if it had showers it wouldnt be a rustic campground.

This is a great campground in the north woods. It is rustic, so limited services. It is small, just one road with a handful of campsites on it. We had one noisy neighbor who played their car radio loudly all afternoon, but other than them, it was quiet and peaceful. The lake is electric motors only, so boat traffic is quiet, and there are minimal private properties on the lake. It is flat between the campsite and the lake, so easy to access the water from your campsite.

We had a good time Cause we were together. We didn't like it here though
