Overview

Picnic Point Campground is a quaint campground, where a large group can enjoy a peaceful escape in northern Wisconsin. The rustic nature of the campground draws campers in for a respite from the hustle and bustle of nearby cities and towns.

Recreation

A boat ramp into the 411-acre Mondeaux Flowage is available not far from the campground. The lake, although rather shallow, is popular for swimming and fishing. Anglers fish for musky, pan fish, largemouth bass and pike, among other varieties.

A system of hiking trails is available in the area, including the 1,200-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail, which traces the edge of a historic glacier that once covered the state of Wisconsin and much of North America.

Facilities

The campground offers one large group campsite for tent camping only. The site can accommodate up to 35 people. Reservations can only be made for the whole campground. If the campground is not reserved, then individual sites can be taken on a first come, first served basis.

The site is equipped with multiple tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets are provided. The campground does not provide trash collection and visitors are required to pack out all garbage. Drinking water is not available on site, however, it is available at Glacial Springs or Westpoint Campground.

Natural Features

The campground's shaded group campsite is nestled under towering pine trees along the western shore of Mondeaux Flowage. Sites sit right on the edge of the scenic lake, where boats can also be anchored.

Nearby Attractions

The city of Medford is located about 18 miles from the campground. A variety of services can be found there.

Absolutely gorgeous site. Multiple times Horseshoe shape to accommodate both the camping and boat slip purposes. Wish we would have brought: -a paper map. Cell reception is out of the question. -wood from a nearby town. No wood to buy near the site. Plan your stop ahead of time! -something for horse flies -kayaks. Perfect adventure w the boat launch right there So glad we brought: -Thermacell -drinking and cooking water -headlamps -bocce ball -wipes!!!!

I loved almost everything about it, my only complaint is that many people were coming to see if the sites were reserved. My thought is that maybe a sign next to the existing sign at the entrance that is larger. Maybe it could be something that is flipped around with a green sites are open side and a red sites are reserved side

This is our 8th year coming here. Every year it’s a different experience, mostly based around what the weather decides to do, but it’s always a fun time. The campground is clean, with updated toilets and a newly paved road. Be aware that you most likely will be visited by some locals- while we were there people stopped to use the toilets several times, people let their dogs and kids walk around the campsite even though we had reserved it. It’s just part of renting the whole site and being next to the public boat dock.

It was very nice I loved everything just a few things that could be better is if it was known to us that there wasn’t gonna be any showers available and if it was explained to other visitors that they can unload there boats but not be wandering around the camp site.
