Customer Reviews
A peaceful, remote spot for camping and fishing. This facility was once maintained by the forest service as an 8-site rustic campground with basic amenities. In 2015, the National Forest closed this campground along with a number of others in the Nicolet/Chequamegon as a means of balancing their recreation budget. As of 2020, plans are in place to soon remove the remaining infrastructure here and keep the entrance gated. The area is being reclassified as general forestland. It will remain open to dispersed camping, though campers won’t have access to the vault toilet and hand pump that were previously available, nor will they be able to drive into the campground. Among the approximately ten campgrounds closed in 2015 across this National Forest, Windsor Dam has weathered its closure exceptionally well. There are no downed trees on the campground road and few in the sites. The property looks ready to welcome back campers as soon as its gates are opened. Unfortunately, there are no plans of doing so.
Beautiful. Costs 5 dollars to camp here. Limited service. As long as you are willing to camp at a rustic site, you should come here to camp.
