Overview

Spearhead Point Campground is one of the most popular campgrounds on the scenic Mondeaux Flowage. Unique family-oriented campsites and access to panoramic views of the lake are unprecedented elsewhere in the forest. The campground provides numerous opportunities for recreation and enjoyment of the surrounding area.

Recreation

Boating, swimming and fishing are popular activities. Anglers can expect to find a variety of species, including pike, largemouth bass and bluegill. Boats with and without motors are allowed on the lake, however the lake is quite shallow in some areas. A portion of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail is easily accessed from the campground. The trail is open to hiking and wanders 1,200 miles along the edge of a historic glacier that once covered the state of Wisconsin and much of North America.

Facilities

The campground offers many single-family sites for tent and RV camping. Some sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. No hookups are available. Each site is equipped with a table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided.

A concession stand, coin-operated showers, a boat ramp and pay phone are available at the nearby Mondeaux Picnic Area. Some campsites have small docks which can be used for fishing or landing a boat.

Natural Features

The campground is located within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin at an elevation of 1,140 feet. Shady sites are nestled along the shore of 411-acre Mondeaux Flowage.

If you enjoy "quiet" camping in a beautiful area this is a place you will enjoy. No draw backs for us, but there is no electricity, or running water. Outhouses are clean and there is spring fed water available with a five minute drive from the campground. The lodge, which was recently renovated, remains closed. This is the second season. The major drawback for people who use ice, it is about a 30 minute drive to buy ice and there are no shower facilities with the lodge being closed. Our family has enjoyed these woods for approximately 70 years. (If you enjoy Yogi Bear camping, this place wouldn't be for you).

The only drawback was some noisy neighbors. Beautiful grounds.

Sites are spacious, level, and most on the water. The water is not working at this campground and the facilities at the Mondeaux Lodge are completely closed. Had to drive quite a distance to get water.

Water pump is broken at both West Point and Picnic Point campgrounds. The Lodge also is likely closed. Great IAT hiking near by but can be swappy at points so bring boots
