The last campground to close in fall in this district of the Nicolet, typically open through the end of November. Kentuck offers numerous campsites, a nice boat launch and a 2.5 mile hiking trail connecting it to Spectacle Lake campground. If you’re looking for a nice sand swimming beach within walking distance of your campsite, this isn’t your spot. You’ll find nice beaches at nearby Spectacle Lake, Franklin Lake or Anvil Lake recreation areas. The campground is just a short walk from the beach at all of those locations. The shoreline at Kentuck campground is limited to a boat landing and a thick mix of tall water plants and vegetation. The lake is fine for swimming once you get out into it, the campground’s shoreline just lacks a beach or swimming area.

This is one of many campgrounds in the Nicolet Chequamegon National Forest we camp at. It rates high on our favorites list. There are enough sites that we've only once found we couldn't get one once. The boat launch and parking is nice. The campground hosts there keep the campground clean and free of litter. I would add like many of the campgrounds in the Forest there are no hook ups even electricity. You can run a generator within the guidelines set buy the Forest Service though. There is no playground for the kids. Cell coverage is very spotty. This is a campground is pretty much developed for the camping experience. Although many do use it as a basecamp for using many of the trails in the area and fishing in the local lakes.

We have been camping here every year since retiring 4years ago. Very quiet during the week. Dogs are welcome. Doesn't have a playground or picnic area. Campers are friendly. Forest service and camp host keep it maintained, clean and natural, rustic. Love camping here.
