Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Recreation at Richardson centers on fishing, swimming and canoeing/boating on the lake, while the wider Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest expands options to hiking, auto touring, OHV routes, horseback riding, hunting and more if you're willing to explore beyond the campground. You'll reach the campground with a short drive from Wabeno via Highway 52 and Richardson Lake Road (FR2880); Crandon and Wabeno are the nearest towns for supplies and services.








Length limits vary by campsite.

“The camp host introduced himself right away which was cool. Kept the loud sites under control. The overall campground was nice. Clean bathrooms. I had site #1 and it was huge and flat and direct access to the water. ”
“Always a nice experience at this campground. Host is very helpful, very cordial. Boat landing is well kept. ”
“Rain so hard had to leave early.. the site would have been perfect. No cell coverage and steady rain made it miserable. Lol. We will be back. I want to fish and kayak this lake ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,036 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
