Big Lake Campground

This is a more rustic campground. They recently took down a lot of trees which makes the site much more open than previously. Half the Bathrooms are remodeled and nice addition. Close to the Vilas County bike trails. Campground is dog friendly but the Beach is not.

We loved this campground and are hoping to come back again! It was very clean and well kept. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! We received a ton of informative papers and pamphlets which were great! The lake and area is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Highly recommended. We kayaked and saw great sights including loons, bald eagles, and caught a bunch of fish.

This is our go-to campground when visiting WinMan mountain biking trails! The campsites are beautiful, full of trees, dappling light, lots of bird activity, and the lake itself is very serene. There's a boat launch as well as a beach with a small sandy shore that's perfect for kids. While the campground is rustic, the new pit toilets near the lakeside campsites are the cleanest pit toilets I've ever seen. I also want to give a shout out to Peter, the campground host, who takes great care in making sure everything is clean. Highly recommend Big Lake Campground!

The campground is okay, but if you are planning to enjoy your weekend, especially with your kids, go somewhere else. Went for the holiday weekend and got harassed every single day by the campground manager, even during daylight hours, for being too loud. We even got a call after we left saying we forgot things (we didn’t, called him back to say it’s not ours and must have fallen off someone’s truck) and got yelled at some more for “loud music” when we didn’t even play any music the whole time we were there because we kept getting yelled at for every peep we made. Bathrooms were also disgusting, watched someone gag and walk out and puke.

Great campground despite what the previous reviewer posted. The campground has NOT been clearcut and there is plenty of privacy between campsites. While there has been some activity with removing trees in a few areas, it appears that more conifers have been planted in their place. Very clean restrooms and nice (but small) boat ramp. About the only thing I would suggest is to clear paths from lakefront campsites to the lake itself. I'll be back again!
