Stevens Lake Campground Introduce

Nestled in the heart of the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest, Stevens Lake Campground offers a peaceful and picturesque camping experience for nature lovers. With six first-come, first-served campsites, this small campground is ideal for those seeking a quiet escape. Five of the six sites are located directly on the lakeshore, providing stunning views and easy access to the water.

Stevens Lake is perfect for fishing enthusiasts, with opportunities to catch large pike and other fish species. The lake’s maximum depth of 12 feet makes it a great spot for both novice and experienced anglers. While there is no designated beach or playground, the lakeshore is swimmable, allowing campers to cool off on warm summer days. The campground is also home to local wildlife, including loons and bald eagles, adding to the natural charm of the area.

Please note that amenities are minimal, and during certain times, the water pump may not be operational. Campers are advised to bring sufficient drinking water or contact the local forest office for updates before their visit. Despite its simplicity, Stevens Lake Campground is a cherished spot for those who appreciate the beauty of small, rustic campgrounds.

Beautiful small campground. All but one campsite is on the lakeshore and there isn't a bad site here. The water pump didn't have a handle when we visited in early August 2022. Since there's just one pump in the campground, there was no drinking water available. If you don't plan to bring enough water for your full stay, you may want to call the local forest office to confirm availability of water here before your visit. The lakeshore seems swimmable at all the lakeside campsites. Small national forest campgrounds like this are becoming an endangered species in the Chequamegon Nicolet. The national forest closed two small campgrounds near here within the past decade. Make sure to get out and visit Stevens Lake to help it stay open into the future. Four of six sites were occupied when we visited mid week. Everything here is first-come first-served.

Nice small campground (6 sites) for adults who want to fish. No beach, playground or trails. Fish were not constantly biting in August but you could catch some large pike if you keep at it. Maximum depth is only 12 feet but lake is large. Lake has a number of homes and a resort on it so you may hear mowers and weed wackers, but there was only one other campsite taken on 5 of the nights we stayed. Several loons and a bald eagle were present. I would like to go back in May to fish there before the weeds take over.

Nice place, boat ramp, site #1 most private. $7.50 with Access pass. Lots of forest roads nearby as well. Cleanest pit toliets I've ever seen. Hand pump well. Stayed 2 nights, very nice.

Quiet, minimal rv action. Water pump out of action. Tannin-stained lake looks very promising but not catching a durn thing. About half full mid-week in may.

Approximately 8 sites. Good lake access, however rated it a 4 because nearly all campsites are pretty uneven. Hard to level out a camper
